Okay, people, it’s time again for the annual Valentine’s Day card exchange thread. (Permission was granted by **SkipMagic** … thanks!) It’ll work like this: If you are a paid member of the boards **AND** if you are at least eighteen years of age at this moment, you may send an email to [SDMBVDay2006@gmail.com](mailto:SDMBVDay2006@gmail.com) to sign up for the V-Day card exchange. Your email needs to include your username, real name, and preferred mailing address. You also need to tell us how many cards you’re willing to mail\*, as well as if you’re willing to send stuff overseas. (Canada doesn’t count as overseas, btw; you all will get in the regular mix unless you request otherwise.) This email from you needs to be sent by 11:59pm Eastern US time on Friday, February 3rd. I (or someone else\*\*) will organize the lists on the morning of the 4th of February, with distribution expected that afternoon. As far as the cards go, it’s up to you what to send. Store bought cards are okay, homemade cards are fine, too. If you want to go wild and crazy with the glitter, go for it. This is all about having a good time. It’s fun receiving the flood of mail, and it’s really fun to see what other dopers came up with. So, I think that covers everything. If anyone remembers something I’ve forgotten, feel free to speak up. 🙂 -BrattiAtti \*Gender specifications/requests are not permitted and will not be honored. Yes, I came up with that one. No, I don’t care if you don’t like it. \*\*I say ‘I’, as I am totally willing to organize this again. I had a lot of fun with it last year. However, I won’t deny someone else the pleasure of taking over. If you’d kill to take the position, send me an email at BrattiAtti @ gmail . com, and I’ll hook you up with passwords and stuff for the other email address. ---

I don’t normally participate in these things, but this seems easy and fun. I sent you two emails- I forgot a piece of info in the first one. ---

I was thinking about this the other day, when I was looking at the valentine display in the dollar store. No promises that I’ll do handmade this year, but I’m definitely in! ---

Count me in!!! (Had lots of fun with the White Elephant…) **trublmakr** , sending a normal-sized, 1 oz. card will cost 84 cents to most overseas locations. Canada and Mexico are 63 cents. [Here are a couple of links to](http://www.usps.com/global/globalairmail.htm) our friends at [the US Postal Service.](http://pe.usps.com/text/pub51/51tblb_002.html#vnameref_5).
