Got my name!
Muahahaha!!!
I was just going to PPPBBBBTTTT! you but thought I would check my e-mail one last time, and I got my name too!!!
it’s someone really cool! I think my stuff may not be good enough
I got my name too! I’m so excited. My wife has already picked the first 2 items to go in the Pachyderm Package.
I’m just glad I got a female. I’m a lot better at giving away my wife’s stuff than I am my own. 
Ok,
All the e-mails are sent.
As an FYI (in case anyone didn’t know) shipping internationally takes longer than domestically - so…
International participants (and you know who you are), wait a while.
Those US participants that are RECEIVING a package from an international participant have been notified in a seperate e-mail entiteld Elephanty goodness - please be patient, K?
So - lets give everyone until the 15th of November to take care of this, and international people, if you could aim for December 1st, that would be great. Wait until after that before you start bitching at me, OK?
Finally, if the 5th of November rolls around and you don’t have a package yet, don’t start trying to scrounge one up in here, OK? Let me know AFTER the 15th and I’ll start busting heads (so to speak. :D)
Now, let the bitching begin…
My package has gone out via UPS. Apologies in advance if this creates a problem for my recipient, but UPS was cheaper and easier for me to send, considering it weighed 7 pounds. Actually, a couple of things were scarily appropriate for my giftee, although that had absolutely no bearing on my choice of what to include in the box. 
OK, so I didn’t pack the box yesterday like I meant to. But it’ll be outta here by the end of the week, one way or another. First step will be to pick out the box.
Got my e-mail - yay! - thanks again for organizing this , alice. My package will go out by the end of the week…
GT
I empathize. Really, I do. Immediately upon opening the email, I began mentally sifting through my belongings to see what will impress 'em. Hmm.
Whatever treasures* I choose will ship out on Friday.
*No monetary value promised. If it could fetch cash, don’t you think I’d be visiting the pawn shop instead of mailing it to you?
I got mine as well! The box is packed and, oh, is it filled with elephantine goodness…
Tomorrow morning it goes to the post office!!!
got my name - package being assembled
Address received, thank you! And thanks for organizing this.
Now to do some searching on my giftee, to see if I can find out if it’s a him or a her…
Or I could, you know, actually READ the address I was given, and take note of the not exactly ambiguous first name… :smack:
Yes, I’m an idiot. OTOH, I’m an idiot with a lot of cool junk to unload. 
Address received. I’m one of those “gather stuff after I get the address” people so it should go out by Nov. 1, at the absolute latest.
I’ve gotten my name too. And since I’ll be watching the baby tonight and tomorrow, if that person happens to get a baby in the mail would you please send her back, we’ll be grateful. I’ll try and not send any bio hazards as well.
I can’t send my package until Saturday. Hope my elephantee likes it…
will you believe some of it’s stuff I got in the US? I have to stop moving across the pond, I do!
Mine went out this morning!! Squee.
E-Mail received, box half-full. Box will ship as soon as I can fill it, probably Saturday. Glee!
Got my name this morning. I’ll be putting my box in the mail tomorrow or the next day – as soon as I finish cleaning out the junk drawers and my son’s closet.
Mine is packed and taped, waiting to be addressed and mailed. It will probably go out tomorrow, heading southwest.
