Posting photos:
Alternatively: Upload your image to somewhere on the internet (a list can be found in the wiki here, and I also can recommend imgur). Once the image is uploaded, right click on the image (control-click or click with two fingers for those of you with macs), click on "copy image URL". Then in your post in this thread, paste the image URL that you previously copied between two image tags, so the result looks like:[img]your URL here[/img]
There is no "gifts sent" part this time around-PM your sent gifts to wharvey! (though feel free to post it in the thread)

Friendly reminder.... let me know if you want any additional Santa assignments. I had one person already ask for more!
Understand, if you ask for more assignments or sign up now, you will have to wait until I close the window on November 20th.

Not enough giftees?
I asked for 3 assignments, but only got 2. Are you holding back to make sure that last minute sign-ups are covered?

Haha. That gives me an idea to do mixed sixers for someone 
Especially since I get a lot of interesting beers here in Madison.
Does glass bottled beer ship well?
I have this fear of sending glass through the postal service. I fear it will break very easily with the infamous USPS man-handling.

If you were either too polite or too shy to reveal much about yourself in your sign-up, consider how very challenging you have made it for Santa to find you the perfect present.
My giftees clearly were raised to be modest, because they didn't give me much to work with. If you were one of the bashful ones, please consider reworking your description!

I've not had a problem receiving glass bottles of beer, although they usually have been wrapped quite securely with bubble wrap.

About me:
My day job is a project manager for a heavy equipment dealer, on weekends I am an EMT. I am also part of the planning board for the town I live in.
I have 3 dogs who are rescues from the southern part of the United States: a Rottweiler / German Shepherd mix, a Golden Retriever / Collie mix, and a Shepherd mutt.
I love to travel when I can (personal travel mainly) and have been to Europe once so far last year and am returning this March (UK, Netherlands and Germany).
I love aviation (like just about everyone here), Commercial, Civilian and Military. My favorite airplanes are the C5 Galaxy and the Citation X.
I don't have many hobbies, I don't have time! I have been reading a lot about my heritage (Dutch) and learning more and more about the Dutch. I have started to collect Delftware, but it is hard to find locally and I don't care for Ebay.
Hopefully that will give whoever my Secret Santa is some more ideas about me. If this doesn't, I also accept hundred dollar bills
Edit: I forgot to say, I have found a couple of new loves, Scotch and those little KLM Delftware houses

I am one of the bashful ones...
About me:
I work / worked as a marketing / sales manager in the entertainment / hospitality industry.
I usually travel within Europe, long weekends in the big cities- art and theatre or relaxing weekends at some resort (those must feature saunas, roman bath or the like).
I started to go hunting, I love hiking, going out for a good meal and wine (heavy, dry and complex they must be). Good rum and malt whisky before, after, during dinner or whenever there`s a good reason
I am also a car / F1 enthusiast- love Bentley, Porsche and Ferrari.
I have a wife but no kids.
Guess that should help a bit.

I just found out that shipping alcohol across state lines is a tricky affair. USPS expressly prohibits alcohol shipments...
It seems that UPS and FedEx allow alcohol shipping of some sort but there is paperwork and apparently maybe some requirements of being a business before shipping alcohol? I need to research this some more. Seems to be a don't-ask-don't-tell kinda policy
One of my recipients is in the same state though so I figure I'd be able to at least give him some mixed sixers. hopefully.

I'm not your secret santa but whoever is your secret santa should take note of this
