P.S.
Sorry for reversing the middle letters in your name. I'm usually not even up at this hour.

It floated, Deschak (for several hours) ...
until I fished it out with a pool skimmer.

So. Did it float or did it sink?

Thank you, Azur ...

That's no way to
treat diamonds, chocolates or that thing you ordered last month but forgot about.
Very funny!

What's a Yanqui, Davy?
A female Yeti?

Amazing
I knew you Yanquis were paranoid, but that's going a little too far.

Yeah, well, I'm not sure a television show is necessarily the most reliable source of information, Aaron.

Sadly, Blanche, since she didn't fall for the attic ruse, I didn't see much chance of tricking her into this.
Besides she was out with Pavel at the time, anyway.

It could still be from the Unabomber
I saw an episode of "Monk" where a guy fastened a package bomb on the top inside of a mailbox using glue, so it didn't fall into the bag and get mailed until the glue weakened. I'm sure there are other ways as well of having something mailed long after you make the arrangements to get it sent.

Mademoiselle, get Michelle to retrieve the package for you
She would do it, I'm sure, if you asked her to. Then you'll have solved two problems with one stroke. Always a plus.

It's probably too small for that, TAPS.
We already have plenty of floaty chairs, anyway.

How funny, Mademoiselle. It sounds like you could use it for a floatation device while you are waiting for it to get water logged.. HAHA

So you mean you really don't want her to open it for you? 
Damnit, another unsuccessful attempt. Oh shoot, sorry, my bad.

By the way if you give me the package, I'll get

hahahha. You got your best friend there because you didn't want to die
alone!? hahha. That's hilarious. It reminds me how whenever someone opens up to me, I can't help but immediately mental note all the things that can be used against them later.
you're a funny one.

I fished it out of the pool a few moments ago, Ann ...
I almost fell in, too. Cause I had to put the lights on, and they disoriented me.
At any rate, the package appears soggy, but otherwise fine.

I'll have to pass your theory on to Pavel, fourcats ...
Meanwhile, whether it's in his self-interest to do so or not, I'm hoping he'll be nice and open the package for me regardless.

The odds are; it was a harmless package and not waterproof. Lol.
For the benefit of the doubt and more, you have 10 clicks in this blog. Please return to read the response before the old post is deleted. Thanks.

Get one of those darling tattle tale cousins of yours to open it! Seriously dear it's probably something really cool that you might have ordered or you lovely man ordered as a surprise for you. Open it, if it had a bomb it would be ticking!
It's a good thing you are a writer because that wonderfully vivid and creative imagination of yours would be so very wasted otherwise!
