I'm not big on asking for high priced items, but if my SS has not selected a gift for me yet... I sure could use a 98 to 54mm Giant Leap Eliptical Tailcone retainer for a new Binder Kit I want to get started on. Just an option to throw out there.

My package has been received, I have been told it has anyway its been wrapped and placed under tree with rest of present and none of them have names!!! So I cant even shake it WTF lol
 
A Secret USPS Elf brought this Secret Santa a package from his supplier today. Tomorrow I shall stuff it with some more swag, then Monday dispatch it via another Secret Elf.
 
Mark me as received, the kids will wrap it for me and stick it under the tree! Thank you Secret Santa! Email has been sent to Papa Elf too.
 
I got a box today!
It said on the front to open the outer box, and I did, and in it was a nicely gift wrapped box! The label said it was from Art Applewhite! And I know what rockets he makes!! Oh, I'm so excited for whatever is in there!! :)
And thank you to whoever my SS is, and for whatever is in that box!

Email sent to Papa Elf.



Thanks,
 
I've received a box from BMS. I'm presuming it's from my SS, as folks in my family don't typically order rocket stuff, and I haven't ordered anything from there...

Thanks SS!
 
So far nothing for Papa Elf of Mrs. Elf. I did get one of the boxes of donated prizes for the Papa Elf Special. Maybe I should announce who is the winner. Or maybe I should surprise the winner by sending it without announcing he's the winner :p. Hmm. Tough Decisions :p
 
Got paid today and got my gift(s) ordered! Will send them on to my recipient as soon as they arrive here so I can wrap them!

Did you participate in the list in the same manner that everyone else did?
 
Would anyone want to participate in a collection for our papa elf?

I think that would be really nice. There is the issue of trust in regards to the collector of funds so, it might be easier just to submit a PayPal "Friends" transfer directly to Papa Elf's account.

Anyhoot I'm in.
 
Add me to the received list... it’s gonna be a long wait...

And I just received a box from MadCow......at the same time that I receive a box I ordered from Madcow........

Now I have TWO boxes I can't open, and *I* ordered one of them!
Where's that gif of Jim Carrey screaming at the two two spears on either side?

Mark me as received lol

Tell the Mrs. what you ordered from MC and have her open both boxes. Of course have her sworn to keep the SS package contents a secret from you until Christmas morning.

Just an idea..... :p

If I wasn't a young single engineer just starting his career, that'd be a great idea lol.

Of course, if you know any young ladies with an appreciation for rockets and dry humor, I'm all ears:wink:

If I can believe the USPS Delivery Elves and the tracking number they gave me, someone should be getting a package tomorrow.

I'm a week off of an MRI that I still haven't heard the results of, and add to that I found out the other day my last paycheck bounced. I'm stressed out enough this week that if my Secret Santa gift arrives here tomorrow I would probably break a rule and open it.
