caldigger Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I think my package was rerouted to Tibet to get the Dali lama' s stamp of approval. Then down to Antarctica to chill for a while. After that it got shot up to the World Space Station for weightless atmosphere experiments. Then got to ride a float in Rio's Carnival, only to be sent to the actual address on the package. So here I sit waiting for the arrival...Bazilian mail is soo slow!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Well lo and behold kiddies, after not getting any mail for days on end, my mailbox was chuck full of goodies today. Here is my Secret Santa's gift from down under ( Australia). I think I got the whole Osmond Family in urchin form. A batch of very nice Aussie echinoids. I will have to get information on these after the holiday. Thank you very much Santa!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Merry Christmas David. I really hope you are having a nice day. Also I hope you receive your Secret Santa soon. Just keep the faith, I sent two packages to the States three apart and the recipients both received them on the same day. Cheers bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, if they would do that it would take all the surprise away for David, and us... I suppose we keep waiting, even though it’s boring.

So probably he didn’t send husband package either! Poor David... There’s someone that I haven’t managed to contact in a long while either as he hasn’t been online in quite some time... And I know that he didn’t join in on the fun this year. Probably the same person. It’s weird that he just left without any notice, I really hope he is okay!
