id be glad for someone to take all the squares. but if you take it, it means you like it. in which case, reciprocate accordingly.

+1. do not take more than one square without adding a square of your own.

there is a nice raw silk shantung moss green square in there. that one is worth an addition.

have fun, but make the box better - do not look to take as much as possible from the box. stitch and I believe that the box can be good if we all follow this path.

there are many new with tags, new without tags, and gently used ties in there. keep it in that vein. the second someone puts a less than amazing item in the box, it will all go downhill.

I didnt mean that I will just turn the box into a crap shoot, I just figured I would point it out since the squares for teh most part leave much to be desired, that we wont be so strict on the squares (and that you can take 2 ties +squares)

Well by the grace of God, yes.

I track the package, delivered. I happened to have been home with a stomach virus and door bell never rang. Look outside. No box. Checked with the neighbor, NO BOX. Checked the side door, back door, NO BOX :eek: . Now im thinking I dont even want to deal with the stupid post office and what not. As im contemplating what im going to do, the phone rings.


My friend, who happens to live at 1234 W 5th St calls me up and says "I got a box addressed to you"

"Um, WHAT????"

"Yeah dude, I got a box addressed to you; I guess it was by mistake".

Box is in my possession. I will be swapping and (hopefully) sending it out tomorrow or Friday.

Now back to out regular programming.
