Proof positive that BOX’s completion changes after every few stops…

Have fun Poncho👍

It has only been a month since I last had the box and it's been to 5 different members already.  That has to be a record for fast turn overs since the box started.  Aloha had to divide the original box into 2 boxes and one of them got sent to Australia.  He then held on to the remaining box for several months before it started moving again.  I never thought it would be so hard to give stuff away.  Well, with 5 recipients since I last had it I feel that there's been a reasonable separation even though it's only been a month.  So, Poncho, I'm willing to take it again if nobody else does.  It will be my 3rd time. :cheers:

I'm going to try to hold off until after the new year, but I'll probably go for a round 3 eventually.

Enjoy your trip Poncho!  I just got back from my week away about 10 last night and woke up just an hour ago.  I had 300 emails to catch up on.  A whole week without a computer is both freeing and frustrating but I highly recommend it for one's mental health. :cheers:

The box arrived today and there is so much goodness in there I don't know quite where to begin.  Will try to make my final selections tonight and seal the box as soon as possible so I won't be tempted to take anything else out of it.  Anyone who wants to get the box next just post it here and then PM your address to me and I'll send it on its way. :cheers:

Two questions:

1) Am I allowed to sign up for this even though I'm new?

2) If I'm allowed to sign up, am I allowed to add more than I take even if I only take one item?

Thanks!

That would be up to Sos24, the originator of the GAW, and/or Alan, who currently possesses the box. After reading your 5 posts, I would vote Yes

Yes! The original box grew so much that it had to be divided into 2 boxes, one of which was sent to Australia. The box that stayed behind has grown again. Almost everybody has put in more than they have taken out, though that is not a requirement.

Welcome AzteCypher. I would be happy to send you the box if you can PM your address. Not sure if you have enough posts for access to the PM system yet though.  When you get the box you can take what you want out of it with or without adding anything else. That is your option.  You only have to be willing to send it on to the next person who wants it and that means paying the postage for a medium flat rate priority shipping box which is, I think, $17.10.  We do expect pictures of whatever you decide to keep but we don't let on what else is in the box so it will be a surprise for the next person. :cheers:

Understood.  I have no problem with the shipping.  I've spent more money in worse ways (buying SAKs....?)  :whistle:

:climber:

I'll to PM you and see if I have access.  If not no worries.  I'm sure I'll find plenty of other threads to make posts on, much to my wife's dismay, LOL!

Glad it made it safe, Alan :woohoo: Hope you find some great stuff in it :like:

Welcome to :MTO: AzteCypher :cheers: you should be able to send and receive PM now because you have over 5 posts :salute:

I will let the others decide if they will send and it sounds like it shouldn't be a problem :cheers: so I guess, enjoy :woohoo: :D

The Surprise Box is on it's way to AzteCypher, and should arrive on Monday the 30th.  I hope he is pleasantly surprised. :climber: :multi: :dunno:

 :like:  new blood showing interest in box is a very good thing!

Hopefully they will not overwhelm Ed by the shear goodness within the cardboard confines😜
