Should I out who didn't receive and their was supposed to send to them?

My gift is in the mail, my SS PM'ed me recently and it might be here by the end of the week,
Adami's gift got lost in the mail.
Dark Castle, your SS wolfandwolfandwolf hasn't logged in since Dec. 16. I have no idea what happened, I've PM'ed him to no avail. You'll get hooked up next year if you participate if you don't get something. I'm not saying you'll get lonestar, but you'll get someone I know will come through in spades.

Ben, when did you send your gift? Cross-country mail can be really slow sometimes. I sent my package 2-3 day priority to Cali and unless my recipient forgot to check his mail for a few days, it took a week.

As for the UK people:

I know Harry got his, but didn't film before heading to mainland Europe, so that might be awhile.
ariich and XJDenton both are receiving from within the British Isles, so maybe your mail system is Fubar.
I'll have to check on jonny and Octavariopolis to see if they got anything, but again if the UK mail is the slogfest Denton said it was, then that could also be the problem.

I strongly think that anyone who has never sent anything should be excluded from any further Secret Santas. I mean, what's the point of this if you don't participate?

I second the motion.

In addition, I'm going to have post and tenure requirements next year as well, just in case - although that is only a concern in two of the missing videos.

I sent them out that same week I got the last of the 3 gifts. They weren't pricey, which is why i'm willing to send again.

I really hope that doesn't mean that I'm excluded come December - REALLY sorry for the delay. In my defense, however, I WAS sick for a lot of December and I was trying to finagle finances with how my paydays hit.

If I'm not excluded, I WILL try my best to do better this year.

No, you've stayed in contact. I'm thinking along the lines of 4 months and 1k posts, with exceptions for people like Penguinspanda, since she is attached to an established member, just as you are.

I'm sorry I don't post much- I kinds lurk in the background with Jay.....it's just creepy having two screens side by side glowing 'DTF' hahahaha. I read a lot more than I post!

JayOctavarium · « **Reply #775 on:** January 24, 2013, 01:08:05 AM »

Wait... I'm established?

Lonestar, the gold standard for Secret Santa.

Guess that makes you SS 'of the year'.

Ah, okay. Phew!

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #780 on:** January 24, 2013, 04:36:59 PM »

Well, shit. I guess I'll out myself as Adami's SS. I'm really upset that this happened. Though, I had a thought. There was a seriously awful snowstorm that hit our area the day after I sent the gift out. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Sorry, man.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #781 on:** January 28, 2013, 07:40:53 PM »

I got my SS gift today!

I even give all of you all a gift as well!

WindMaster · « **Reply #782 on:** January 28, 2013, 07:47:03 PM »

There is literally so much bacon in that package. So much.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #783 on:** January 28, 2013, 09:15:50 PM »

Nice haul! Bacon rub to go on pork?! Now that's double dipping on flavours!

YtseCullen · « **Reply #784 on:** January 29, 2013, 12:06:47 AM »

Just so you guys know I fully intend on participating next year, if I meet requirements

DebraKadabra · « **Reply #785 on:** January 29, 2013, 02:21:30 PM »

J&D's (the people who make the Bacon Salt, Baconnaise, Bacon Pop and the gravy/dressing/rub) are actually not in Texas - they're in Seattle.

SO glad you got all of your stuff (though the video cuts off after about 5 minutes and not the 6:04 listed on the YT video itself). I wanted to make extra sure all of the hot sauce was over wrapped and taped since I didn't want anything to break on ya. Oh, and glad you dug Foamy.

JayOctavarium · « **Reply #786 on:** January 29, 2013, 04:00:46 PM »

Well Deb at least you had enough bubble wrap

oh and

FOAMY!!!

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #787 on:** January 29, 2013, 05:34:06 PM »

huh...wonder why it cuts off?

Anyway, I'm very happy with the gifts. The Habanero hot sauce looks good and I like that vinegar isn't the main acidifying agent, lime juice is. If I only had fish to make fish tacos

Fun fact, I gave Debra practically nothing in the suggestion area because I don't know what to get myself half the time, so she did well and definitely paid attention to my posts in various threads.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #788 on:** January 29, 2013, 07:43:19 PM »

When I viewed it, it went all the way to the 6 minute mark.

I'm starting to think that SS stand for super slacker.

Ha, yeah - I still have some left over too.

It may have been because of AVG - I recently updated to the 2013 version and I hadn't gotten everything all set for 'net protection.

I was really stumped at first, but after some extra thought I think I got some winners.

So.... any new vids? or was the Dr. the last one?

Nick · « **Reply #792 on:** February 04, 2013, 10:00:17 PM »

I'll post a video of me opening an empty box if you want.

We should all blame the snow for Europe's lack of presents.
