+Crowesfeat30 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yesterday I was supposed to have mailed off my two missions. However, yesterday our house was invaded by a "Rabid Bat". A "rabid bat" is a term used in this household to describe a simple home repair project that gets way, way out of hand (yes, there is a story behind this family coloquialism ) and has nothing to do with a foaming-at-the-mouth flying mammal. In our case, yesterday, it was the replacement of a hot water heater... Anyhoo, long-story-short, I didn't get my packages mailed yesterday because of all that. But today, now that we can once again enjoy a nice hot shower in our own home, I was able to launch my missions out the door and they should soon be landing in their respective mailboxes in the next couple days or three. I hope Cupid's Arrows hit their marks! CF30 P.S. Allie, I also sent the coin I traded to you. Look for it soon. Quote Link to comment
+summerandnana Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Update: Got my mission Still doing research, I think my Valentines' trading list is not up to date. Found 1 of the wants and will have to wing it on the others. Should mail on Friday - will update tomorrow Quote Link to comment
+OshnDoc Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Cupid already found me! WOW that was fast. A GBA Earthquake coin a Ranger 216 Nickel Train piece and a GCC May 2006 coin arrived yesterday in a partially marked envelope. These are all three very nice coins. Thanks cupid!

+Fluttershy Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Great news about those Early Cupids! Please don't feel you must fulfill your Missions' Seeking list to make it a successful Mission. You're already doing an amazing thing, just by participating and "Going the Distance" by Sending your three Unactivated Geocoins! I've received a lot of emails saying that they really enjoy these exchanges, and I have to agree, I think it really feels great. It's nice to see you being kind and generous to your Forum Friends. I've made a few really good friends on this Forum since I started participating on the Board, and it's a wonderful thing. Thank YOU! Quote Link to comment

+GeoSmurfz Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 There should be a rule where everyone has to hold off trading for coins for themselves during the secret mission. I've been working to get coins on my secret cupids seeking list, trades were made, and now I read they already traded for the coin. Ugh, back to the drawing board. I am holding off buying and trading for new coins until I get mine. It's kinda ruff to find the coin for somebody then they end up getting it before you send it out. But I am going to keep mine and if I have it already I will trade the one I bought or traded for first and not the cupid mission coins. Might sound kinda sappy but I think its cool to have a coin that someone gave you rather than bought or traded for. But thats just me. This was a cool thing to be part of thanks Allie.

That happened to me last time (on the receiving end), but is was a trade that we already had in the works before secret Santa, and was coming from overseas (so it took awhile to get here). Getting 2 was okay, though; it was a cool coin. Quote Link to comment
