| I am petitioning the federal government for a portion of the approved bail out money to help cover the costs of shipping the secret santa package out. They are reviewing my application now. Hopefully it won't get slowed down with too much red tape.

| Still no answer on my package... I'll give it until tomorrow (which will make 12 days from when I made the order) and bug them again.

Just joking, no sense putting postage on a lump of coal twice.

Me too! A pre-thanksgiving Christmas present just ain't right!

| I know that joke got old several years back but I still chuckle imagining the guy that drew my name....
" Hmmmm do I send out pm's to ensure I'm the only one the shmuck sent his name to?".

| Update on my order for my SS recipient:
I placed the order on 11/12 and after not receiving the package and the USPS not updating their tracking system as to even having received the package from the shipper I sent an email. I was told on 11/21 they would check with the USPS and get back to me. Today (11/25) I inquired again and was told they would check with USPS and if I don't hear anything by 12/1 that I should call them and we can see if we can solve the issue then.
Anyway, if I recall correctly we had a 12/10 deadline for getting out our gifts, I may be a day or two late depending on how this all resolves. Should still be able to squeeze it in on time though.

| J is hearby banned from ever being able to Secret Santa again, if he doesn't make the dealine!
Just kidding, I'm sure you will be ok. It is a Goal, not a rock solid you have majorly screwed up your fired deadline. Actually it was Johny (a member here) who way back 6-7 years ago wrote the rules, I've just tweeked em to make em fit me a little better. Wonder where that old coot is anyway. (And don't be a smartass and say Nevada, I know that much)

Considering the cost of fossil fuels these days, a lump of coal may be a very valuable gift.

| Sandypaws made a stop in town today. So I sent my package on. These new mailing regulations make it impossible to be truly secretive. So don't look to closely at the return address.
