Also, thank you, Albatross, for the Hawaiian Punch!  (At least, I'm almost 100% certain that was from you.  :) )

you're right!  ;D

Awesome!  I grabbed that right after the octopus, and then my FIL told me about tbe Dew he was bringing back for me, so I picked up a bottle of rum on my last shopping trip.  Just need to collect the dew and make some sour mix, and I'll be all set.   ;D

If I'm understanding this correctly, you receive a parcel with various assorted items in it.  You choose something you like, and replace it with something else of an estimated similar value, and ship it to the next person on the list?

If that's the gist, is it too late to be added to the list?  Sounds fun!  :)

Pretty much!  :)

Just copy the list into your next post, add your name to the bottom and you're good to go!  :)

There are a few keys rules:

1.  You must NOT apologise for taking ages to send the parcel back out. 
2.  Make sure the parcel weighs less than 2kg.  This keeps the postage at £2.95. 
3.  Take all you want out of the parcel - no limit!  Just make sure there is still a variety of choice for the next person. 
4.  Don't steal the parcel.

5. Other than the item(s) you take from the parcel to keep, do not reveal the contents of the parcel.  But do share a photograph of the thing(s) you kept.

I have a feeling people down the line from you really missed out.  I'm baffled by the whole episode, and sad that he tainted our fun thing.  But mostly, I'm sorry for people who didn't get the fun of seeing their contributions selected.  That is, by far, my favourite part.  :(

I still don't understand it. I check his profile from time to time to see if he has visited the forum but he hasn't since the date he replied to my message. I've written a couple of times since then, but nothing.  :(
