PTD Psycho Tiki D Tiki Socialite The river Styx, can you pay the toll? Joined: Oct 13, 2006 Posts: 1857	PTD Psycho Tiki D Posted posted on 04/09/2009 As promised, my package will ship USPS Priority Mail tomorrow... Had the most difficult time deciding what to send for this trade, since my "tradee" is a good friend and I owed them a favor already. So in addition to the trade, this is also a "thank you" for a past good deed not forgotten. Took the liberty of insuring this package, since I don't trust the hammerheads at the Post Office. Thanks again Rick for putting this together again and I look forward to the next go round. PTD

T Tiki-Atari Tiki Socialite Atlanta Joined: Aug 06, 2007 Posts: 151	T Tiki-Atari Posted posted on 04/09/2009 Got mine yesterday after a crappy day at work. Many mahalos; the decorated box made me grin like a fool. Waiting to open it, just because (although I doubt I'll make it to the 15th). Pictures then.

B Brandomoai Tiki Socialite Edmonton, AB, Canada Joined: Mar 05, 2008 Posts: 329	B Brandomoai Posted posted on 04/10/2009 Received mine today and it's awesome! However, I'm committing my old crimes again. I shipped the mug yesterday via ExpressPost, which is pretty quick, but being that it has a long way to go and a border to cross AND a holiday weekend I'm afraid it may not make it before the 15th. To my recipient, I'm sorry! You'll find out who you are soon, but maybe not soon enough...

S Sneakytiki Tiki Socialite Boise, Idaho Joined: Mar 31, 2003 Posts: 1795	S Sneakytiki Posted posted on 04/13/2009 Both of my packages arrived intact. I sent mine somewhat late. I had a Right shoulder surgery which of course I knew about only about a week in advance and in addition my L index finger is broken so I am very dexterity challenged. Packing was cumbersome and ultimately I had to enlist my spouse in aiding me. Hopefully that will exclude me from too much bad karma. I am typing with 3 fingers and a thumb of my non dominant L hand. Fun!

Oh, anybody know how to file and extension? Got my package yesterday, I'll post pix soon... To file an extension, you need form 4868... but here's the kicker... you have to estimate what you may owe (somehow, without actually doing your taxes yet!) and pay by midnight tonight! You can pay on-line, though. Grrr! Enough of this terrible tax talk... what a relief we have this awesome mug trade to sooth away the pain... Mahalo Bogielocks!!!

Nice tiki mug, looks like it was the first one out of the mold, very clear details. An idol, Trader Vics Atlanta matches and swag, and an Elvis ukelele card. We were married at the Graceland Chaple in Vegas, so Elvis is always appropriate! Thank you Tiki-Atari!!!

K Kikkietiki Member Hollister, CA Joined: Nov 09, 2006 Posts: 89	K Kikkietiki Posted posted on 04/15/2009 On the day my doggie died :( I got a cheer-me-up package in the mail from Mrs. Tiki Pug. The outside of the package was intriguing with lovely tiki tape: I was greeted with a nice note and sticker (Mr. Tiki Pug let me know that this was really from Mrs. Tiki Pug and he accidentally signed from him but I just had to include a pic of the cool notepaper!): Inside, more goodies... and an awesome Tiki Bandit from Frankies... Thanks for the awesome stuff Staci! The great package was followed up by a gracious offer to join Mr. and Mrs. Tiki Pug for drinks if I ever get myself out to Vegas. Thanks Jason and Staci! And finally, RIP Roxy (the best dog in the whole world). I know this is off topic, but losing her will always be intertwined for me with my tax day trade-off memories:
U ukutiki Tiki Socialite Michigan Joined: Feb 25, 2009 Posts: 295	U ukutiki Posted posted on 04/15/2009 Yesterday I received my goodie box from Coco Joe and it had a lot of good stuff. First was a green Kon Tiki mug from Tiki Farm (my first mug from TF). Also included was an Elwood Funko Tiki Shriner figurine, a lighter with bottle opener from Tiki-Ti (Coco Joe took the time to Google me and found out I also collect bottle openers and corkscrews), 3 swizzle sticks, a Good Luck matchbook, a dinner napkin from Trader Vic's, plus business cards from Bosko and 8Ball. I gotta start rearranging my shelves :). Thanks muchos, CJ.

PTD Psycho Tiki D Tiki Socialite The river Styx, can you pay the toll? Joined: Oct 13, 2006 Posts: 1857	PTD Psycho Tiki D Posted posted on 04/15/2009 Just as I was starting to think my package would be late, lo and behold, as I eagerly opened my P.O. Box door this afternoon, I saw the familiar orange tag with a key attached...I wondered who drew my name... Any guesses?? Opening the lavishly decorated box I find an envelope. Inside the envelope are a couple of "Go Tiki" stickers, a "Go Tiki" business card and a nice card from GoGo and Dani! The first mug I open up is a nicely finished and glazed double-sided tiki mug. Next in the line-up is a number 8/25 Owl-tiki double handled tiki mug. I am pretty sure that aside from my shark mug, this is the first animal/tiki combo I own. And to round it all of, an excellent 2/25 Bali-High ceramic mask and card. All together now! Mahalo mucho to Dani and GoGo for the excellent package and gifts. Thanks again to Rick for putting this together, again, it almost made the sting of paying 20K in taxes this year go away! PTD
