SDMB Valentines Exchange '07

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

It’s time for our annual Valentines exchange. Yay!

Our esteemed SkipMagic has given permission. Thanks!

Rules are as follows:

If you are at least 18 years of age, and if you have a valid, paid subscription to the SDMB, you may participate. Send an email to SDMB2007VDExchange@gmail.com. Be sure to include your username, real name*, mailing address, and the ideal number of Valentine cards you would like to mail and receive. If you live in the US, please state whether you are willing to mail to foreign countries. If you live outside the US, please don’t hesitate to sign up. This is open to everyone (erm… if you aren’t eliminated by the rules in the first sentence of this paragraph, I mean).

I’ll take emails until January 31st. I’m aiming to distribute the lists late Friday February 2nd. Let’s get specific and say 11:00pm Mountain, 10:00pm Pacific. Public displays of impatience and harrassment are forbidden until that time.

So… questions? Comments? Concerns?

Let the email frenzy begin. :slight_smile:
*If you don’t mind receiving envelopes addressed to your username, you are not obligated to share your IRL name.

On the list:

Kythereia

Don’t hesitate to sign up if you only want to send a few cards. There will be others who want the same number. I promise.

Morning bump.

3

Ooh! Ooh! Me too!

I like this even better than the Secret Santa, because I get lots and lots of mail.

Now, to decide – handmade this year, or not?

4

I wanna play too!!!

(e-mail sent)

5

Sounds like fun!

Just one question, shouldn’t we include our gender and sexual pref. in the email?

6

These tend to be G-rated greetings, not X-rated propositions.

7

Woo-hoo, I love the Valentine’s exchange! Email sent.

Thanks for organizing, BrattiAtti!

8

I found this to be a good way to meet Dopers, back in '04 – that’s how twickster, Pandora, and I discovered we were in the same area.

So I’m in. Email coming right up.

9

What’s the minimum size for a piece of mail? I’m picturing sending out those tiny Valentine’s we swapped in elementary school :slight_smile:

10

People send those – but usually put into a bigger envelope.

11

Y’know, I was going to be my usual Valentine’s-Day Scrooge and ignore the whole thing, but I’ve changed my mind. Count me in. In a G-rated sense, that is. I’ll email when I get home.

12

I’m in. Will send e-mail shortly.

13

I am exceedlingly dense AND did not become a Doper until March of last year, so can someone please 'splain to me exactly how this works?

14

(Yeah, I know it says Jan 2006. That’s when I registered, but I didn’t pay up and become a regular until March.)

15

It’s easy, freckafree (except for the part BrattiAtti has kindly volunteered to do).

  1. You let BrattiAtti know you want to participate and give her the information she specified in the OP.

  2. She puts together the list that you’re sending to and e-mails it to you.

  3. You send Valentines to the people on your list.

  4. Since a bunch of people have you on their list, you also get a bunch.

It’s lots of fun. You should play. There was lots of variety last year; some were homemade, some were boughten.

I’m in; about to send the e-mail.

I seem to be becoming all sociable and friendly in my old age. I wonder how that happened.

I’m in!

17

Cool! I’m in. E-mail soon to be dispatched.

18

:smack:

19

Email sent! :slight_smile:

And honest. It’s virus-scanned.

Count me in! I already sent my e-mail!

Oh, I do love Valentine’s Day!
