Yeah, I took Tony's nearly full tube and put in my own 3/4 used tube It was used when I got it too, in fact it originally came from the Netherlands. Maybe it will make it back over there lol By the way I forgot to mention that I really did take out every single thing I thought I might want. But the box is still bursting at the seams!
We'll send the Bikin's and keep the team In all honesty, the "Swedish Bikini Team" is a hoax... half of them aren't even Swedish... and they wouldn't make it in to a national team over here, trust me! I have some ideas
And it's on its way! Someone needs to soon take at least one or two heavy items, the shipping charge was $12.95 priority, and I don't think a box that size will suffer anymore surplus
It's gained in weight since it left my house. I don't remember exactly the weight,but it cost 10.95 from Chouteau to Norman OK.
is it no longer in a flat rate box? That apparently is a good thing, I think it was just under $14 for me to send the flat rate box.
If you zoom in on the box in the photo here, you can see the box says "Large Flat Rate Box For Domestic and International Use" http://anwealde.com/razors/2008-07-24--21.19.00/00025.jpg If you bought insurance then that is probably why it was $1 more. The recipient following me requested no insurance, but I probably should have bought it anyway
OK, I received the box today. There's a ton of stuff in there. The plan is to ship it from here over to Europe. I'll go through the thread and add names, etc later this evening after my 14-month-olds get put to bed. I'm a little behind the game because of vacation, then getting caught up, etc.
Yep, Bob and his wife adopted twins a few months ago. Pics in this thread. How are the girls doing, Bob?
Congrats on the adoption. My wife and I are considering adopting a tween girl. let me know how it goes.
They're doing amazingly well. They were severely malnourished during their first two months of life, but they're as healthy as can be now. The vacation we just got back from was five days of camping at a music festival, and they had an absolute blast!
I think I'm going to pull all the after shaves and colognes out of the box before I send it to Europe. One of them broke open on its way to me and made a little bit of a mess. Plus they add a lot of weight. And there's also the issue of shipping alcohol. I'll put in a few interesting, lighter-weight things. I'd post pictures, but my camera was stolen during our vacation.
You camera was stolen at a music festival?! Not much peace and love there. They are getting cheaper so here is hoping that you get another soon.
Yeah, there seemed to be a couple bad apples there this year...like two out of approx 15k people. But this was rather a special case. Here's the long story... On the last day of the festival, a thunderstorm rolled in. We'd had several throughout the festival, so we're used to it. There's no really safe place to be, so we went under one of the big festival tents, in this case the kids activity tent. The storm turned really wicked, about the worst I've ever seen. We huddled all the kids in the middle of this tent while all us adults held down the poles along the perimeter. I was pushing against my pole with all my strength (along with two other people on this pole) to hold it against the wind. During a lull in the storm, they told us that most of the other tents on the site had collapsed, that another stronger storm was coming, and that we should all get out. So we left all our gear, went to my mother-in-law's nearby house (30 minutes away) for the night, and came back Monday morning. We later learned that there were 70 mph winds, golf ball-sized hail, and a tornado that luckily didn't touch down. It was a calculated risk to leave our stuff, but it was feeling like a matter of life and death at the time, so my only priority was getting my family out of there.
Here's the remainder of the list. The full list appears on the first post of this thread. mastermute moviemaniac + herzi DragonBoy Ragnost Back to the US! Single Wedge adady Pokerstar
