Great news about Jimmy knowing that his gift is waiting for him. Maybe that will encourage him to get his butt home to get it.

Thanks to all who worked so hard getting this thing together. I think it'll mean a lot to Jimmy and really say "Here We Are."

You have told us what you think we need to know. At this point, we need to know much more...we need to know everything you know except specific names (tho, given the success of things, i doubt anyone would ever try to follow this path, so knowing names wouldnt hurt anyone either)

For instance, using A, B, C, or 1, 2, 3 instead of names, what exactly has
happened to our book??? Did A get it to B? where and when, and if not, why not? Did B get it to C? same questions....and so on, along the chain of possession......did someone fall into a snow drift or get drunk and run off with the maid...what went wrong, at what point???

Do you know who has the book now? Do we know whether it is safe?? what contacts have you had with whoever has the book? what were they? when was the last one? what explanations if any have you gotten?

In other words, stop worrying about those folks and think of US...and tell us what has happened, what is happening, and what your best guess is as to what will happen---enough of 'we know whats best, children'...and some information.
Those of you who know me well know that I very seldom I lose my cool but I am very close to it at this point y'all...

yes it is safe..

we do not know if it has made it to Jimmy yet..why....because the people doing us a FAVOR lead busy lives and cannot keep us updated...quite honestly the person delivering it to Jimmy MAY not have had the opportunity...

And YES...I will continue to WORRY about the folks who went over and beyond to help us do something special....they deserve our respect and I WILL maintain their privacy...

and NONE of us has taken the attitude of "we know what's best children"

You want to know the plan....as it was stated by CINDI in a previous post...

the book was fed ex to point A....Point A sent it to Point B...and the blizzard hit...it was delayed...Point B is to get it to JImmy...we have NO contact with Point B....to maintain his/her privacy...only Point A has contact with this person...

And there has been a little thing called Christmas and New Years where people have spent time with their families and I'm sure getting our book to Jimmy was the LAST thing on their minds as it should be....
I dont understand. Why didn't the book committee do something about the weather? That's just negligence on the committee's part.

...just a little negligé on her part.

well, heck, as long as we're in fantasy-land, let's have him fly us all to St. Barth for a private concert....

It'll take more than a concert to display my privates.

Hooray for Belated Birthday Presents!

I always liked them more, because it's an unexpected gift.

That being said, better late than never. No need to worry. As Walter once said in the film The Big Lebowski, "Relax, you're being very undude."

I am getting caught up on Bn and I am REALLY glad that I am on a TON of Percoset right now or I might be inclined to get a LITTLE angry at some of the PCR's on this thread (poor choice responses) - I justmade that up btw

Shame on every person who posted negatively here.... but it makes the individual person look bad - not us as a group and I would think anyone - even Bubba himself would recognize that and know that in every situation there are always going to be the select few whose lack of appreciation can almost ruin a good thing. Fortunately this is BN - and we are all parrotheads and share a love of the Buffett way of life. Nothing can ever stop that!

Now ... not another negative post on here bc I will not be on percoset forever!!!!!!!!

THANKS AGAIN TO THE GANG FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER!!!!!!! JIMMY WOULD NEVER HAVE GOTTEN ANYTHING FROM ME IF IT WASN"T FOR THEM!!! !!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
