:o it still exists, :O - chaz2b

PICS! - AJ Batac :)

It's amazing how much stuff is in here. - mjc from FFHound!

I've never seen it, in person. - Eric

FYI (as of 12/30/11), I've got it packed up again and will be getting it on its way soon, coordinating a physical handoff rather than mailing for the next hop :) - mjc

:) - Anne Bouey

That's so cool. Perhaps I will see it someday IRL. - DB Botts - Just DB Botts

Secret gift may need a thorough cleaning! - Janet-The Bottley Crue

Ha, somehow the box totally skipped me. Is this http://maps.google.com/maps... the most recent update? - Michelle M

Michelle, I think that is the current route. And it looks like you did get skipped! :( Maybe you can see if Trish and Josh can put you back in next. :) - Anne Bouey

Thank you, Anne! It is on its way to Florida anyway so I can get it after mjc if I have to. - Michelle M

OMG OMG OMG. This is GOOD NEWS! - AJ Batac :)

Either way works for me - mjc from FFHound!

She's pretty active on Twitter and Facebook if you've got her there. https://twitter.com/#!... - Jennifer Dittrich

Someone else would need to nudge her. I think the last person attempting this got blocked. :( - Janet-The Bottley Crue

I got blocked because I was nagging her. I probably have the right to nag because I spent $130 sending this box to Australia from Canada. - AJ Batac :)

Previously, or just now? - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Previously - AJ Batac :)

Wow I just checked the group. She's had it for nearly 8 months. :( - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Wow that was fast. - chrisofspades from Android

Yay! The journey continues! - Anne Bouey

the box is full of some pretty cool looking stuff now. Considering I was the first stop it looks far more interesting now. I'm glad to see it moving along and I look forward to seeing more of flat stanley's adventures - Bill Rawlinson

Just to let folks know I kept 4 things from the box (hope that isn't too greedy): 1. Mini Moon Pie; I've seen these before but never had one. 1. GooGoo cluster: Never heard of them but it sounds good. 1. Magnetic bookmark; I love to read so can't go wrong with a bookmark. 1. postcard - a great photo. My wife and I are always looking for neat cities to visit and now Greenville will be in our queue. - Bill Rawlinson

GooGoo clusters and MoonPies are both about as southern as it gets (my vote goes to GooGoo clusters, BTW). When/if you come visit, make sure to let me know: every FFer in town gets beer or BBQ my treat =) - FFing Enigma

I've seen moonpies in the store here but never bought one before so this was a good excuse to finally break down and try one (my step mother makes really good homemade ones) I am trying to resit eating the GooGoo cluster right away so that I can stretch out my enjoyment of the swap's stage here as long as possible. I'll post again when I've added some stuff and then again when i've shipped. - Bill Rawlinson

Woooo! :D - Cheryl Jones

Did you eat your GooGoo cluster yet?!? - FFing Enigma

No I'm going to eat the GooGoo cluster tomorrow. My wife and I have identified a few things we want to gather to put in the box and she is stepping up and going to drive around looking for them tomorrow! They aren't edible though but hopefully someone in the chain will enjoy them :O) - Bill Rawlinson

Ok - I ate my GooGoo cluster. It seemed a lot like a round BabyRuth bar but a bit chewier. I think I'll get another to put in the box so someone else down the line can give them a try too. It turns out you can buy them here. I am thinking of putting a "Flat Stanley" in the box and asking everyone to take a photo of Stanley somewhere special in their town. Then, eventually, when I make it back through the alternate queue, Stanley will arrive back to me with a full album of photos accompanying him :O) - Bill Rawlinson

What a cool idea about Flat Stanley! :) I'd take a picture of him somewhere in Chicago, perhaps visiting the Cloud Gate at Millennium Park. - Cheryl Jones

cool! thanks for opting in Cheryl.. I hope to have the package out of my hands within the next two days and on its way to Janet in PA... - Bill Rawlinson

Looking forward to the next stop and Flat Stanley will be photographed doing something 'tourist' for my area. I have my items and anxious to get the package 'across the pond'. Did anyone get a flickr.com site created for the photo uploads? My dog did get into one of the items I was going to send. Naughty dog! - Janet-The Bottley Crue

I finally started to use the bookmark I pulled out of the box yesterday. More than 1.5 years after getting it. Thanks for the bookmark Tina. - Bill Rawlinson

You're welcome Bill! I took a picture with another friend's Flat Stanley this Saturday and that reminded me that our FS has been wandering for almost two years. The box should be on it's way to Aden by now though, we're almost there! - FFing Enigma

I think he broke even. at least he still has his shirt. - chrisofspades

*cackle* - Spidra Webster

Hahaha! - Anne Bouey

They are soooo CUTE! - Shevonne

I took an ube cake. The curly top is my sister. - chrisofspades from Android

I'm still really pissed that I didn't get in on this early enough. :-( I'm grumpy. - Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™

Lisa, is there no way to get in on it now? - Jenny R

Swap what box? - Mo Kargas

I'm on some huge waiting list. Boo. :-( EDIT: And, I'm at the very, very end of it. Super boo. I want my own swap box. - Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™

If I put my name on the list, I would be at the very, very end of it. Would that make you feel better, Lisa? :) DO ANYBODY NO HOW I CAN ADD MY NAME TO THE VERY, VERY END OF THE HUGE WAITING LIST? - Jenny R

Jenny is the double poo. That is a good thing, by the way. :-D http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™

pssst, hey Jenny, the box will be in your neighborhood this weekend. - chrisofspades

:))) - Jenny R

Don't feel bad. Some of us have been on the waiting list since before this first box started...a year and a half ago... - Hookuh Tinypants

Let's start our own box. A better box. THE BEST BOX! - Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™

I'll just wait until round 2. I'm pleased with the group of people I'll be swapping with. - Hookuh Tinypants

i think that this box is the best box; 18+ months in the care of the us postal system, all the homes its visited, all the hands/fingers that've touched it; thats ff magic incarnate, :) - chaz2b

Exactly. :D I can't wait to see this bad boy for myself. Especially since by the time it starts going through round 2, it will be very very VERY well-loved. LOL - Hookuh Tinypants

Why has it taken so long? I assumed it was dead. And I miss Tina! - Rachel Lea Fox

Well, it's certainly not the best box if *I* don't ever get to swap it... Just sayin'. *harumph* - Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™

LOL Girl, ima send you your very own swap box. I'll even fill it with stuff *not* from the Bay Area. :D - Hookuh Tinypants

Can I send it on to Jenny?!?!?! Now I'm all excited. :-D I just want to play with everyone else, is all... *sigh* - Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™

I know how you feel. I barely missed making the first swap, and I'm definitely on the 2nd swap. Thankfully I am an exceedingly patient person, though with my luck, FF will shut down right before swap 2 gets off the ground. LOL - Hookuh Tinypants

And the choir sings Handel's Halleluiah Chorus! Awesome! Pics and it did happen. - Trish Haley from iPhone

I see beads!!!! - Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™

beads and more Lisa. I don't even know where to begin. - chrisofspades

JUST START ALREADY! Impatient Lisa is impatient. - Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™

haha. at a glance I see Nawlins dirty rice, beads, candy, postcards, sweets, goodies, etc. but for the rest you'll have to wait :) http://ff.im/ucZQI - chrisofspades

Glad it got there safe and sound. Tried to fill it with some NOLA love since I was responsible for holding it up so long. - Derrick

Aaaaand now I want me som Zatarain's. Thx D. - Hookuh Tinypants
