Thread: Thanks, Tim. Early Christmas Present

  1. #1

    Default Thanks, Tim. Early Christmas Present

    I received a notice, yesterday, about a package.

    I couldn't remember ordering anything, and a feverish defense of denial was initiated with SWMBO as I was sure I'd spent nothing online. Except a double payment for my Aerodrome subscription (Keith, we need to sort that out, too).

    I made it to the Post Office after classes, this afternoon, and it was a small package from England? I didn't order anything from England. The prices are worse than Canadian retail, and the shipping would have been unthinkable.

    OMG! An S.E.5a. One I need for Dogfight Challenges, too. Awestruck.

    Tim asked me to do up a bunch of custom cards for him, and I am slowly working my way through the pile of repaints. But, I'm pretty sure I didn't negotiate any payment. This is outstanding, though.

    Also, not a advert/precedent, either! I'm not collecting payment, and my backlog of commitments will keep me to the New Year.

    I'm humbled, Tim. Thanks for the early Christmas present.

    I just received this in the post as unexpected package from a friend. It must be that time of year.

    Just another example of how much we all appreciate each others input on the Drome.

    So true how all in here help or care for each other. Another example of why this is a great place to be.

    On top of an early pressie, this has given you a really great defence strategy for future purchases Mike - the "Oh look, another forum member has sent me an unexpected gift" defence

    This might work. However, I'd have to get my packages shipped to a forum member, repackaged, and reshipped. Packing slips and addresses would give it away.

    She's just not that dumb. One of the reasons I married her, too. [Hmmm... No emoticon of SWMBO cuffing me up-side the head.]

    This could be arranged Mike, and I'm sure with a bit of Photoshopping we could soon alter the Lading bills etc.
