(unofficial) Mehrican Exchange 7 SENDING thread
7This thread is for mehrican exchange chatter while everyone is waiting for their assignment, sending the box, asking questions, waiting for people to get them and then post on the yet to be created reveal thread.
Everyone who is participating should have just gotten an mail from mehricanexchange6@yahoo.com. This was a test email to make sure I have your email correct. If you did not get an email please let me know!
I should be sending out assignments 2/14 presuming I get something else done with enough time left over to do it. If not I will send on the 15th.

@thumperchick @narfcake I tried to change the header picture to this
https://postimg.org/image/4d66pgu6f/
and something went terribly wrong each time. If you could please replace it with that, then delete this post and explain to me how the heck to do it (I did it successfully with one thread once I knew I could do that, so not sure what the problem is or what I screwed up this time around)
Thanks,
@Kidsandliz

@Kidsandliz its not a picture. Its a link. You need the one that ends with .jpg or such.
@RiotDemon Thanks. I didn’t know that. I was just fishing in google images from previous exchanges.
@PlacidPenguin thanks.
@thumperchick @narfcake (or whomever fixed this) thanks so much.
@Kidsandliz That looks really familiar… I think that was a box I sent!
@Kidsandliz @Pony
Yup. To @sushiboy.

@PlacidPenguin Oh yeah! Thanks for the memory bump!
@Pony yup did an image google on meh mehrican exchange and stole an image from there - no idea whose it was, just looked nice
@Kidsandliz Hmm, I didn’t receive an email. I just checked the mail I sent to the exchange email and noticed that I didn’t include my user name, maybe that’s why? I thought I signed up for two boxes… hmmm
@smigit2002 Or I screwed up. Let me go look. hang on a sec
@smigit2002 OK I screwed up. There were 7 people on the other side of the page break and I missed them. Doing them now (that includes you). Sorry about that folks.
@smigit2002 OK now you (and the other 6) should have one. I had pasted the emails into a word doc and didn’t realize a few ran to the next page. Sorry about that.
@Kidsandliz No worries, got it, thanks for managing this, you’re the best!!!
@smigit2002 You are welcome but seriously this doesn’t take that long to take care of.
Thank you for doing this, Liz!
/giphy you’re the best!
@moonhat You are welcome. No biggie.
To Whom It May Concern: If my box arrives leaking and you come in contact with it, please seek medical attention immediately.
What?? Just say’n.
@mfladd
@mfladd
Eh. I’ve handled worse.
@mfladd but but but @Kittysprinkles didn’t sign up… what are we going to do? I was sure you were hoping to send that box to her (evil grin).
PS Kittysprinkles (and anyone else) since I haven’t paired anyone yet there still is time… just sayin’
@Kidsandliz @KittySprinkles
I thought I was getting stuck with @mfladd.
@KittySprinkles @mfladd @PlacidPenguin My random generator accepts cold hard cash and bitcons.
@Kidsandliz @KittySprinkles @mfladd @PlacidPenguin I’ll take him!!
@mehbee
Who? @mfladd?
@Kidsandliz @mfladd hmm. I’m actually tempted. If I can carve out a few minutes while I’m here at work tonight I’ll do it. Hopefully I’ve got a decent amount of stuff
@mfladd @PlacidPenguin Yes!
@mehbee I am available…for all sorts of things
@mehbee @mfladd Oh my
@mfladd I just bet you are…
Is there another thread with details about this?

@Kidsandliz filled out form if I can make it in under the door? It’s my 1st exchange had to make sure We had the right kind of stuff to send.
@Joy823 Yes I can’t even deal with this until tonight.
Ummmm - I just submitted the form too. Sorry I’m late but I would really like to get in on this one!
@Confusedkitty I feel asleep in the chair (am coming down with whatever crud is going around) and had set my alarm for 11 central as some years they have had fukos at Valentine’s day but I guess not this year…and didn’t get the pairings done tonight so you are in. Hope to do them after I teach my 8am class presuming no student interruptions.
Awesome thank you! The coming down with crud is not so awesome though - I’m sorry for you
Has anyone seen their assignment emails yet? I got the 1st one on the 13th but haven’t heard anything since.
@nigglez I have been sick. I actually am working on it right now (had to catch up with work the rest of the weekend).
@Kidsandliz No worries I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something. Gmail has been going kind of crazy blocking things that aren’t spam for me lately. Feel better soon.
UPDATE - list is done, assignments were random (except one person got themselves so I had to swap with the row below), when you see who sent to whom with one you might wonder, but the assignments really were random. I have sent 9 email assignments so far. Too tired to finish. Will finish in the afternoon as I teach all morning.
@Kidsandliz To whomever is assigned my name. Please dont send the package until the 27th. Thanks
Sadly i just realized the post office is closed today. I am sorry i will mail out on the 27th.
@CaptAmehrican I will let that person know
Box-o-crap is ready!!
The box pictured above has been delivered…and so it begins!
Haven’t had time yet today to finish emailing (due to work load) so will do it from home tonight.
Just got my email! Will send in the next couple of days.
OK folks - all emails have been sent. Or at least so I believe as each row on my excel spread sheet is now colored blue. If you didn’t get yours by all means let me know. BUT I likely won’t be doing anything about it Tuesday as I will be out of town all day, back very late.
I briefly considered making new customized boxes instead of sending the boxes which have been sitting in a closet for a couple of months.
Then I realized that I’m not good with customizing things.
But then I realized that I could at least do a job worthy of being meh.
Although I then though: “Meh, it’s not worth the hassle of being meh, since sending out non customized boxes is ALREADY meh”.
Moral of the story: Boxes are going out today.
@PlacidPenguin Well you ought to customize that “special” one with an item you discussed not so long ago. Just sayin’. I nearly died laughing when I saw who you had drawn - but that was only after I had to shift all the rows down one so someone wouldn’t get themselves.
@PlacidPenguin I went through a very similar process. I have big ideas for fun things to do. 'Euge ideas. But, I know myself well enough to know it would be a month before I actually did them, and I already had most of the box packed. Long story short, I’m glad to say I interpreted the thought process that wants to do good but never does it well enough for it to mean what it should and just mailed out my box yesterday- sans personalized ideas. Sorry, @Deeme, but you’re getting a box, so that’s something.
@mick please check your email from me and, if you have not mailed your box yet, hold off. That person has a family emergency and so needs to withdraw. Hopefully I am catching you in time so you can take over sending to whom “your” person was sending to. Please let me know so that I know whether I caught you in time so I know whether or not I need to ask one of our emergency people to send to whom your person was sending too. Thanks.
@Kidsandliz
@mick thank you!!
Still finishing packing my awesome box, but it will be going out soon!
@ELUNO Awesome? I think my mistake running this wasn’t to give everyone my address to send these too.
@Kidsandliz Awesomely full of crap? I dunno, whether it is good or not, it is awesome because it is from me!
@Deeme I’m actually pretty proud. I sent your box out yesterday, only one day after getting the assignment. Be on the lookout for it!
If you don’t get a timely box, it might be mine. But I swear it’s coming.
Well I’m proud (read: regretful) to say that all 3 boxes I sent out were delivered today (one of them was ahead of schedule).
Hopefully one of the recipients will be brave enough to open the box tonight (and start the reveal thread).
@PlacidPenguin
@mfladd
@PlacidPenguin I watched that whole thing. Then I was like, WTF? This is why I won’t open the fucking box. You scare me.
@mfladd @PlacidPenguin oh my god, you guys crack me up.
Mine finally got picked up today, after 2 days of USPS not coming to get it and then saying they had. Hmph. But it’s on its way now!
@monicabc you should have yours tomorrow. (Saturday, that is.)
@djslack Your box was on the way!!!
@Unclevinny Done and done. First time. Tried my best. My name is indecipherable on the package.
@monicabc sounds great, thanks in advance!
@monicabc it arrived safely…so much fun stuff! Will do a reveal post later tonight. THANKS!
I just wanted to put on here. @Pony I have your package packed up, been a really long week and work has been kicking my ass. All this frozen weather in kanas is bringing down fiber and I’m the unfortunate cable linemen that gets to put it back up. I’ll have tracking info for you when I get to the post office.
With that being said I got my exchange package yesterday. Have yet to open it and plan on posting pictures of the reveal later tonight. No username posted on outside just a forreal name. I’m sure it’s in there somewhere
@boredashell Thanks for letting me know- be careful out there!
I am still woefully behind on shipping. I pride myself on being the lowest common denominator
@mfladd I cant send it out till wednesday morning so you have a while
Just shipped one to @PlacidPenguin this afternoon.
It doesn’t contain anything perishable.
Unless you count the batteries (hopefully those will be OK until you can get them in the fridge)
@zachdecker
You’re sending me a fridge?
@joy823 your package shipped and should arrive march 2.
@CaptAmehrican and your person said not shipping until this weekend…
@Kidsandliz that is great.
@djslack your package should arrive today!
@ELUNO Sweet! I hear it’s awesome!
I probably won’t be home until late tonight but I did see the mail carrier drop a package around lunchtime.
@baqui63 and @slrn - I finally got your boxes out today. Expect them this week, maybe Monday at the latest. Depends on if 3 days includes today.
@Pony I have to apologize again. I got called on an outage out of state and I have been stuck in Colombia ever since. Unfortunately I was not able to send your exchange package when I said I could but it did happen to get shipped today by my lovely lady. I hope you enjoy everything. Your lucky though, I did some vetting and discovered you like cats. I almost just packed a bis box full of all mine for ya but I’ll spare you
@boredashell Aw, no worries! Thanks for the update- I hope the weather settles down over there so you can get some rest!
(and yes, I am a crazy cat lady. I say the more the merrier, but hubby won’t let me have more than 3. heh.)
@boredashell @Pony me too, I’m cut off at 3 felines. Husbands suck.
@moonhat that could be a good thing, no?
@moonhat To be fair, mine did say I could get a 4th cat… if he can have a dog. Sooo… three cats it is!
@moonhat @Pony got more than a couple myself. All I’m going to say about that. But i love each one of them unconditionally. The babies the most, yeah and i got kittens if anyone wants one or 4
Still no box sent by me yet. Is there a lame prize for last to send?
@mfladd I was worried I would be holding up the process when I couldn’t get mine mailed out til Saturday…so maybe you do deserve to goat?
@amehzinggrace
@mfladd
I sent my two out Wednesday morning.
I’ll whisper tracking numbers to the people in a moment.
