You folks are not going to believe what just showed up here without ever a mention or the slightest inkling of a clue that it was coming.  I am completely overwhelmed!  I had told Dan that the missing knife wasn't his doing and I didn't expect him to replace it, and Sherry just took it upon herself to send out another Dragonfly which I assume is out of her own collection. I figured if the post office made good on the claim then we could consider our options, and a donation to the forum seemed like the best thing for everybody.  I never expected this more than generous GAW within an already incredibly generous GAW.  Thank you Sherry you are awesome!  I've been given cause to say this many, many times before, but it feels like I need to say it again; MTO is the greatest community on the webs and I'd like to thank every one of you for making it so.  Now, about this box that's been ready to ship for the last couple of weeks.  Somebody has to want this, and soon, because it's getting in my way.
I’m glad it got there. 

The funny thing is that this Dragonfly was only in my possession for a very short time.  It was a gift to me from Barry Rowland as a thank you for something else.  When I saw that the one in the box came up missing and you would have wanted it, I decided to forward it on.

What a wonderful gesture.  The Dragonfly is a really nice knife.  I was lucky to get one from our very own Nix.  Its one that I don't talk about enough but I carry it A LOT.  I like to clip it to my shirt pocket and forget about it till I need it.

The Dragonfly is a superb design and what another wonderful act of generosity Sos  :hatsoff:

Aloha, you know you want to do both boxes, then you can decide whether to keep them separate, or merge them into a megabox  :ahhh  :pok:

Maybe Aloha should get both boxes if willing.  See how the demand doesn’t seem to be high, we could merge them.  Not knowing what all is in both now, the contents may still fit in one flat rate box.

Funny you said that because I have the dragonfly clipped to my shirt pocket too and it's so light I don't even know it's there.  I have your address and I'll get the package out on Monday.  I couldn't fit everything in a small flat rate box though, so I've packed it in a slightly larger box.  There's some new in the package stuff that I couldn't get into a small flat rate box without removing from the original packaging and I hated to have to do that. :cheers:

I think that Sherry's original plan was that the box might gradually become lighter as it made its way around, not grow larger.

You are truly one of the members that make this a great place. Not only for the multiple packages you sent out, but also sending Alan the second Dragonfly.

We have an update on the insurance claim. In the mail today was a letter from USPS stating that they approved my claim up to a point. I'd asked for $60, but they approved me for the "free" insurance amount of $50. As I don't feel that money is for me to use to further line my coffers, I'll be doing a giveaway in the near future.

By the way this is great and quite speedy of them.

You are correct, but obviously box recipients weren’t interested in just receiving a gift, but giving themselves.

That was awesome of Sherry to send out another Dragonfly, especially since a lot of y'all seem to be fond of it. (The Delica is my Spydie of choice.)

I forgot to mention that the check showed up yesterday.

Knowing MToers, everyone will replace any item they take with two others.

Pretty soon, the small flat rate box will look like this:

More seriously, I am glad to see the chain has kept moving along. I'm really curious as to what Alan kept, too.

I'll have to get mine out for you tomorrow.  They wanted $24.95 to ship in a plain brown box what would have fit in a $16.95 flat rate box, so I grabbed a flat rate box and went home to repack everything.  I may be paranoid now, but I taped the smurf out of it.  That box isn't going to open until it is safely home with Aloha. :twak:

I have received both boxes.  I won't be posting pics but I will tell you you are sorry you didn't receive one of these boxes. 

Before we move along let me confer with Sos.  I have enough items for 3 possible 4 boxes  :woohoo:
