I got mine today!!!! I got a Packer hat and a multi torx key handle wrench thingy that is really cool. I didnt't know they made this. Thanks Secret Santa!!!!! Hmmm......My geuss is pavo-roddy as Wisconsin is the common denominator. 84SuperDuty and UDLOSE have no info provided on there location so it could be either of them as well. Please reveal so I may thank you.
Ok, I have a little time to post now... My Secret Santa gifts were very funky...and really really cool ---> I got some stuff from another country!
The box was very cool, it had that "this didn't come from anywhere close by" feel to it. I opened it up, and found some stuff:
One item was a rather nice windmill statue:
I got a huge bag of licorice (the GOOD stuff... ) and minty-licorice stuff (which I am now incredibly addicted to.) (What's the name of that stuff? mmmmmmm)
That stuff put a quick end to a nasty sore throat I got earlier this week.
There was a box of some yummy-looking stuff ya sprinkle on bread, I'm going to save that for after my cold/flu/whatever goes away.
There was also a PFF CD in there, which I have installed and spent a little time looking back in the past... (Memorieeeees)
There was also a hat, which made me think of Boondawg for some reason. And MaryJane.
There was also a set of car keys, and a small note that read:
"Feel free to borrow my car anytime you're in the neighborhood. - Cliff"
What a pal!
--- I hope the guy that I had for Secret Santa likes what I got him. There's one main gift, that has to do with memory, and tools. I carry one with me all the time, and it's nice to have when there is no internet connection. and there is a hungry bear approaching. And I have a little piece of food stuck between my teeth. And I need to cut a tag off my shirt. And I can't get the friggin cork outta my bottle of fine champagne...
There's one gift that contains some words and is a bit odd, but may make for some interesting bathroom reading. Also good to scare the wife ("Look honey, I can build THIS for ya!") (Take a look at the chandiliear...OMG, are you kidding?)
There's one thing that seems useless, but it's magnetic, and has string, and may serve a purpose. May be used to amuse a cat, or to take out that pesky neighbor.
(I use one at work to hold a little container. And to take out an annoying cubiclemate, every so often.)
Then, there's "the thing in the jar". EVERYONE should have one of THOSE. Makes for a nice monitor-thingie. Or to scare the wife. or amuse a cat.
I think that's it, I forget....
Thanks again, Secret Santa, Whoever you are...

Well, I worked 85 hours last week, and unfortunately couldn't make it to the post office. I'll be sending it out tomorrow USPS, to arrive at the very latest Wednesday. Sorry about the unfortunate belated-ness, but it's the best I could do . On a lighter note, I got my gift. It was composed of a "Fiero Parking Only" sign, a blown-up printed picture of my Fiero outside covered in snow, and an ice scraper, lol. I really enjoyed it.
Hi guy/girls it sounds like a lot of thought went into the gifts that were sent. I want to thank everyone who sent theirs out, I have gotten a few pm's saying that some others were sent out at the end of last week. So hopefully the rest of the gifts will arrive this week.
I've sent out pm's to everyone who I didn't hear from last week. All but two pm'd me back saying they have sent it or were getting ready to send it. I hope these two I didn't hear from make good on this.
If you didn't get anything yet (i've tried to pm the people who's were going to be late) please let me know. FastFieros, we've been talking about yours. I sent you a pm today Haagster, I've pm'd you about yours being a bit late greengoblin, I've pm'd you about your being a bit late too Janell, yours will be on it's way soon Electrathon, your second one is on it's way Cliff, yours is on it's way Berlin, yours is on it's way captinhowdy, I haven't heard from yours yet. I'll keep on it Racer_JT your second one is on its way sonic50, did you get yours yet? it was sent awhile ago smartaxel, I haven't heard from your secret santa yet, I'll keep on it Thanks again for sending me a gift!! Fierofreak00, yours is on the way Gecko, did you get yours yet? if not it was sent
Did I miss anyone. I'm trying to stay on top of this as much as possible. I hope all of you get your stuff this week.
Please post when you do receive them.
Thanks and I hope everyones Christmas was good.

No, I still have yet to get mine. The post office may be back up so I am sure it will get to me soon.
I have sent mine out and I am not sure why the gift is not to the person who I sent it out yet. I hope it will get to him there is something in there that is worth alot of money,
I'm curious. How did you figure that one out? I haven't said much at all.. But, yep.. It was me. Nice "homemade" box eh? LOL

I got my gift from my Secret Santa on Friday. It was a Hooters T-Shirt from a couple in CA. I would have posted sooner but as an x-mas gift to myself I wasn't looking at a computer all weekend. Thanks.

well, it was quite the dectective sniffing. i saw that the package came from michigan (which, ironically is where i'm from) and i went back through every person that was a part of this. the only one i found was you so i took a guess. i still don't know how you knew i needed that book though. that's freaky.
the packing was awesome. there was no way that was going to get ruined in shipping! thank you again for the book. i've already read most of it and have picked up some things that the haynes didn't cover.

I got mine today! It is a fiero glass from the fierostore and a key chain.
Thanks to who ever gave it to me.
Also I am still waiting from the person who I sent my gift out to. I sent it the week of Christmas. I just hope it gets to him! It migh just be that the post office is back up.
I think it is aerosmithrocker?
I think.. I have his name but I am not sure if it is him.

Cool! I wasn't sure what you liked, hope it comes in handy.
I am still waiting on one thing. I was in for two and did recieve one from the Santa lawyer. Keep looking in the PO box with anxious anticipation every day
) and minty-licorice stuff (which I am now incredibly addicted to.)
