The Pass Around Box is Back
« on: June 30, 2021, 10:11:14 AM »
Hi there boys and girls,
Just a quick note to let you know that the Pass Around Box is ready to come out of hibernation and circulate around to all the good little kids that have been patiently awaiting another chance at it.  Just think of it, Christmas in July, minus the snow, so you won't have to shovel the driveway!!
*Rules are simple.  If you want to play, just PM me (Bigsmoke) your name and mailing address.

*When I get 12 names accumulated I will start the box going via Priority Mail.

*When you get the box in the mail, you may keep as many items out of the box as you wish, but for each item you keep,
     you must replace it as well.

*When you receive the box, please post a message on the forum under this topic, saying you have it.  Likewise, when you
     send it on, please post a message under this topic saying you are sending it on and who is the next recipient.

*If you want another chance at it, PM me your mailing address and I will add you to the bottom of the list.

*When the box has made its rounds, I will be the last person to receive it.  I will put it back in its little nest and it can
     hibernate until we bring it back out, approximately 6 months.

*The only cost to play is postage on a medium Priority Mail Box.

*Later on today, or maybe tomorrow, I will take a couple of photos of what's in the box and post here.  I might even add
     some things to the box out of my stash.  We'll just have to wait and see.

*In the meantime, I am looking forward to getting some names so I can get this box rolling again.

Hello,
The notice has been up for almost a week and to date, I have one response.
There have been 20 some views, but only one response.
That does not show a high degree of interest.
Here's the deal, if there is no more interest, I am just going to keep the stuff that is in it on hold and try it again about the first of the year.
Reminder, I need 11 more people that want to play in order to start it off on its rounds.

Please do not assume that I have your mailing address at hand.  My desktop looks like an explosion in a print shop.  I might or might not have last time's address list.  So, please, re-read rule #1.

*Rules are simple.  If you want to play, just PM me (Bigsmoke) your name and mailing address.

I have Kdubs and Butler Ford's address, thank you very much.  I need Beaverman and Nobber's addresses.

We're getting closer, keep those names and addresses coming, folks.

Thank you,

John (Bigsmoke)

4 down, 8 to go.
So far Beaverman, KDubs, Butler Ford and 10 Thumbs are on board to share the bounty.
Looking for 8 more names and mailing addresses (sent to messages).
Keep 'em coming, folks

Thanks for the bump.
I think I have 5 names on the list now, thanks Dan for getting in on the phun.
I might as well send it out the first of the next week, so if you want to get in on the happenings, send me a message with your name and address before then.
Christmas in August, what a deal.
When it comes back to me, I think I will start mailing it out the first of December again.

Geez, this has been a busy summer.  What with all the projects happening, I just have not gotten the box sent out.
We never did get up to the 12 names I originally asked for, but there are 7 on the list now, so good enough.

Beaverman is first, then KDubs, then Butler Ford, then 10 thumbs, then Dan, then Dana, then finally back to me.  I have asked a couple of times for Nobber's mailing info to no avail, so I guess not this time.  Sorry.

Anyway, going out today first to Beaverman.  You got a full box coming your way, Jim. 
Tracking # = 9405503699300479328413

Posting here that you have received the package and then that you are sending it to the next person on the list would be appreciated.  That way, if I happen to receive any other names and addresses of people to send it to, I can email the person who has it to add that name to the list.
