Did you forget about Swap-Bot?
ViolaOdorata on Oct 6, 2009:

I received your package last night (I think it was wrongly delivered as there was nothing during the day). Thank you so much!!! He loves it and start building them right away :-D Are you sure you want to make it a RAK ?

Love, Viola

Hi! I saw you hadn't sent the Panties and a Suprise #16 swap and I am your partner for that. I hope everything is okay.
