What's new

Traveling Fragrance Sample Box

Hi Everyone! Merry Christmas and upcoming Happy New Years, and all that and any variations that others have to the "holidays". Amazing how much time is sucked up by family and friends, having a good time, eating, drinking, and enjoying new presents!

Thanks for answering Blaidth's question, LBussy. I'll relist it shortly. You are great.. always here also and for helping getting this all working again!

BJ Rose, let me think on this and get back to you. We've had very little activity here over the last month or so, so want to re-read things up to now from then to see where you are coming from. I appreciate you asking also about my holidays, both you and dangerousdon.

Thanks to all you folks for making this such a success.

man... time is flying. dangerousdon hopefully has the box now. :)
Would appreciate an update when you can please to if you do. Thanks!
 
Don & Zombeezy - My sincere apologies. On top of the personal crap I've been dealing with since November, I lost my job last week, and it's completely slipped my mind. I'll be able to drop it at the post office on Tuesday or Wednesday.
 
LBussy, the sad thing is that if we lived where copious amounts of snow was commonplace, it wouldn't be a big deal. All the equipment and crew would be in place. We rely on outsourcing a lot of the work to private individuals who own 4WD trucks that want to pick up good money. This way, if we don't get much snow, the local governments don't spend as much. They'll overreact for the next one and lay down lots of salt and dirt 12 hours in advance even for a few snowflakes.
The biggest problem is usually the schools shutting down because kids don't have a place to wait for buses, and the government shutting down because, well, they can, and lots of vehicle accidents because we don't get enough snow for people to know how to handle it.

Okay polishaver, added you to the list.

So the Traveling Fragrance Box has landed. I started unpacking and going through this box is definitely going to take some time. I did, however, notice that one of the sample vials broke. I hope no one was attached to Muskimgwear Penguin. I still haven't unpacked everything, bu so far that looks like the only casualty. Anyway, just wanted to chime in and let you know that the box arrived safe and sound. I will give reviews as soon as I can.
 
So here is the updated list:

43 dangerousdon (2/22/15) - In possession of the Box
44 [MENTION=86031]Tarquinius[/MENTION] (3/6/15) - I'd love to chock the box
45 [MENTION=83312]lfs70[/MENTION] (3/17/15) - ".. nice selection of frag samples that I would gladly add to the box"
46 [MENTION=67355]AndroiDad75[/MENTION] (3/27/15)
47 [MENTION=90219]preston1000[/MENTION] (4/10/15)
48 [MENTION=1921]chef8489[/MENTION] (5/08/15)
49 [MENTION=102660]BJ Rose[/MENTION] (6/03/15) "hoping I could jump"
50 [MENTION=81024]PGHChris[/MENTION] (11/19/14) - bumped from top to bottom - needs to contact me to get bumped back higher
51 @pdfde (9/23/15) - looking for special literary professorial scent
52 [MENTION=67655]Zombeezy[/MENTION] (9/27/15)
53 [MENTION=94449]Blaidth[/MENTION] (12/27/15)
54 [MENTION=99168]polishaver[/MENTION] (2/1/16)
:::List currently maintained by Zombeezy:::

So a couple points of order or questions or whatever you want to call it.

1. I know a while back there was talk about if the box got too big we would discuss splitting it into two boxes, that way if one gets lost at least we don't have to start from scratch again. Also, that way if one gets held up the other can keep moving. Don't know if we want to discuss this or not, I just wanted to let everyone know that the box has a lot of stuff in it.

2. Also, if we keep this all in one box does anyone have any objection to me repacking it. Right now the way it is packed, there is potential for a lot of breakage. I believe I can pack it in a nice neat way that minimizes any vials breaking.

3. So I went back through all the posts from beginning to end in this thread. Do we need to repost rules or guidelines since it has been some time since anyone has seen anything?

4. I noticed a lot of shaving soap in here...are we adding soaps also? Additionally, there is a rather large brick of Klar Kabinett in the box, I really want to try some but I want to make sure that it is okay first since I know it is discontinued.

Anyway, let me know what you all think. I will post reviews and pics as soon as I can.

Laissez les bons temps rouler! It's Mardi Gras, Yo! Go see a parade or eat a King Cake will ya!
