My SS sent me something that improves whatever it is wrapped around:
BACON STRIPS!
Take a look - my Mp3 Player now has ten times the capacity, the bitrate of anything that is loaded onto it doubles, the battery now lasts 200 hours, and it wirelessly downloads any song I want without me even having to request it.
Too bad I got rid of the Formula, A strip or two over the gaping hole, and it would have healified it!
I wonder what would happen if I put a few strips on the wife...
The possibilies are ENDLESS!

You are welcome, I am glad you liked it. I must apologize for the delay, it seemed like one problem after another with that company but they did finally deliver. You were very hard to shop for so your post was a big relief. Leroy

I have ordered from them and they can be a pain in the tush! I am so sorry it was such a pain for you! but thank you for going through it. I am doing some running around today and will be most definatly wearing my new hat!
I got a tracking number for you, but I don't want you guessing what it is, so I'll track the package for you! Right now, it's due to arrive on the 28th. I'll let you know if that changes.

The plot gets thicker and thinker! Are you going to fill in every day with the progerssion if the "package"?
oops .... he sent the wrong box.... meet him at the corner of State and Main at 3:30pm... be inconspicuous.... your code will be " The birds have flown south." and he will reply "But not the mockingbird!".....leave it under the bench....and don't bring the cops....

I received mine before Christmas! It was one of those tiny remote control helicopters. I knew who my secret santa was right away Nick. Thank you ! I love it. Sorry I didn't post sooner, I was working a lot. I know who Don's secret santas are, but i'm not telling.( Sigh) It's wonderful to know something Don doesn't know once in a while.
Jane Edit to add: OOPS. I already posted in this thread about my gift. Sorry, I forgot. ------------------ Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality

I would like to appologise to my Secret Santa for the delay in responding. The package arrived while I was on an unplanned trip out of state. At the moment, the Fiero Store Calender is hanging on the wall of the cubicle, I currently have warm coffee in the Fiero coffee mug here on my desk, the key chain is hanging from the ignition of the 84....and I am staring out the window at this beautiful Friday afternoon thinking about how much I would prefer to be working on the car rather than these stupid computers.
Thank you much. Sorry there are no pics, the camera is still missing from trip.
I got a box today with no name. Had a bag of white powder in it. The feds are on their way to check it for anthrax. Pics tomorrow if I am still alive.
BISCUITS!!! I'm guessing Fierogirls Mom since the package came from NJ. All the ingredients and instruction PLUS all the gadgets to make the dough. If so, Thank you so much Darlene!! Gonna try those out Sunday morning!!
And--there's more from another address, which I will work on guessing as soon as I get cleaned up and get a bite to eat. (Haven't eaten all day, and Ihave been working clearing out our back yard on my tractor)
No--It didn't take me this long to get cleaned up and eat------I just haven't been able to find adequate words to reply with. A big ol box from Secret Santa, Notchback Hill, Pontiac Mn. 1. Someone, took an extradinary amt of time in wrapping the cntents--individually, and in a true Fiero fashion!! That SS braided sheilding on the square box in the center, was a personal touch, that could only come from a real car person!!!
So, I start opening these beautifully wrapped boxes an what to my wondrous eyes does appear but a really nice Macanudo cigar, and bottle of Knob Creek bourbon, a 25th Anniversary Fiero mug, a box of Pim's orange filled cookies (biscuits--mmmmm),
an American Graffiti miniature garage, and red 85 GT,
Showa gloves that fit--well better than any glove I ever had, some badly needed shop cloths, and a box of assorted whiskys--each unique and sure to go down smooth--tho I ain't so sure about the Canadian Fireball.
And on that plate, home made Fiero cookies--with sprinkles.
There were some other Fiero cookies as well, but they ran amuck in the box, smashing into each other at high rates of speed, breaking their front & rear fenders and fascias off--but they were tasty just the same!!
I will have to find the right moment to savor a couple of fingers of the Knob Creek and the Macanudo.
Who was my new SS? Got all the marks of a young lady, judging from the beautiful wrapping, time taken, cookies--but a gal who knows her way inside and out of a Fiero. Still, --I just dunno. Zip code says Mn, which would point to---------Tina? That's my guess.
Whoever it is, THANK YOU!! You have no Idea, just how floored I am, and i haven't opened any of the bottles yet.
Goes without say as well-----------thank You Darlene!!!

You're welcome Don. Mine was just a useable gag gift for you. The other one was your SS present! You know, since I sent it to you, it means you are the one that has to make the biscuits!! No bringing Jane in on this!!
Thanks again for sending me the candle and chocolates! That was so sweet but you guys really didn't have to!!

Well pick yourself up off the floor. Snap out of it. You got some drinking to do. Let's see what happens when you pour Canadian Whiskey into a Texan. Anyways, yeah I am busted And you are most welcome.
But for all the times you managed to put a smile on my face or just plain had me burst out laughing out loud when I really needed it ... Christmas coming and going and presents still needing to be delivered. I am thinking, this cannot happen. Not to all these good guys. Not to Maryjane too. Thankfully we had Dar, coordinating it all. Any other person would of probably just thrown their hands up in the air by then and said I give ...
Now to those Fieros "breaking their front & rear fenders and fascias". There was a Corvette guy involved in making these. Sabotage I tell you, sabotage He seemed rather exited every time one of Fiero cookies had some slight body damage coming out the oven, and pointed out several that in his opinion should not go thru the painting/frosting process. He would get rid of them.
Glad I was able to get the chance to put a smile on your face for once.
Tina

Yes, I did get it, and I thank you
I got an assortment of powder for coating stuff. Dar, you are the best. Were you the only one involved or was there someone else who is to be thanked too?

You're welcome!
Yeah, yeah, it was me......I'm not good at keeping secrets. I couldn't let the guy that buys me socks every year not get anything!!
