I think I followed you awhile ago. Can’t wait for this box to get to me

I have been following everyone in the buy for a few months, if anyone needs to find someone in the buy to follow, feel free to use my following page.

Dr Jim said

Everyone is following me, so I can PM if you need it.

Ken said

I think we have everyone but Aardvark, I have INkay, Snielson and Obritten.

Sorry, I was pretty out of the loop for a bit.

Has the box stalled again? It would be good if we could keep it moving along, seems like there have been a lot of long intervals between sending. Only four people have received it in three months.

Dr Jim said

Thanks for the note. I’ll try to do a better job of tracking the box.

It is stalled with me, for which I must beg everyone’s pardon. I plead having had a shitstorm of distractions, followed by illness, followed by more distractions. I’ll get it on its way in the next day or two, and post an update.

Rich select said

Ouch, I’m so sorry to hear that! Hope a nice cup of tea helps just a little ;).

Mitten5 said

Can we just send the box to Rich next so he’ll stop complaining about its progress?

Rich select said

Ha! I laughed out loud at that one. I think Jim may take over my complaining duties.

Rich select said

To the extent that the remark about my complaining was not meant as a joke, i am just trying to help move things along as per rule 5 Jim laid out:

5. Try to send the box on to the next person within a week to ten days. PM them for their address when you receive the box. You can get their address in advance, but please don’t skip this step. Boxes have gone missing due to summer vacation, moves, etc. Remember that you can always take samples to try later.

This is not just for my sake, but for the group.

Dr Jim said

Yes, and I should really be the one to nag, but have fallen behind. WHile this is Sheng box #1, it is something like puerh box #12, and I’ve gotten lazy about tracking who has the box. I used to track the dates in a spreadsheet, but have been negligent.

Like I said above, I’ll try to do better, because we really shouldn’t need to keep the box longer than 2 weeks; it isn’t fair to everyone else. At least for the puerh box, we don’t need to worry too much about the tea getting stale.

@aardvarkcheeselog

Please mail the box ASAP. People are waiting.

@Dr Jim

Please put my name on the list for the next Puer Plus box when that comes around again.

I’m taking my name off the list for this box so maybe someone can get it sooner, and just spending the shipping cost on some tea I can enjoy right now. By the time the box gets to me I will be in the process of moving and don’t want to make this a hassle or have people waiting on me.

Thanks for the opportunity!

I have finally got this moving.

Once again, I beg everyone to accept my apologies for the delay. FWIW I also have piles of overdue library books with fines, because I was too apathetic to open emails and click links to renew them.

I should at least have not left everyone hanging, I apologize more for that even than for delaying the box.

I need to bow out. Doctor’s orders, I need to avoid tea, hopefully temporarily!

Dr Jim said

Ouch. I feel for you. I started with tea when my doctor said I couldn’t drink wine.

Ken said

I got told I could either stop drinking soda now and have it occasionally, or wait a few years then never be able to have any.
