Mine hit the mail today (although they may have missed the pick up… it varies by several hours depending upon the day and I can never keep it straight.) Hopefully they will arrive on time, although those who are further away yours may be late. Sorry about that ---

I am dropping mine off before lunch chow tomorrow morning. We have this nifty little mailbox infront of the Dining Facility. Once again, I am sorry for the tardiness of the US Postal system from APO Addresses =) ---

Lets play the Good News/Bad News Game Good News: I sent mine out today from lovely New Tampa Fla where I am on vacation Bad News: Instead of buying stamps they were going to meter them at the post office and when I left they were still on the counter Good News: I had my friend address the envelopes so they can be read Bad News: I wrote the messages inside. I hope you can read them. Good News; I included a suprise in each of them Bad News: It’s alive! (just kidding) ---

:Squee!: I came home to two! Thank you Anaamika for the lovely little beaded heart and gardentraveler for the yummies! I just sent store bought cards - I feel inadequate now ☹ ---

Yay! I just got my first one. It was… um… interesting! This is fun. It’ll be cool to see everyone’s and how diverse they are. Mine went out yesterday. I hope everyone likes them, even though they are mostly store-bought and not very exciting. I put a lot of heart into it. ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > I just sent store bought cards - I feel inadequate now ☹ Glad you liked it. I’m pretty sure feelings of inadequacy are not permitted here. I think it’s neat to get all sorts of cards, or really, any cards at all! GT ---

I now understand **TwoOnSunday’s** comment above and wanted to report that at least one has arrived. (Won’t spoil it for the rest of you…) Thanks! You are _very_ creative. Wish I’d gotten up when the mail carrier was at the door. Also got **Mika’s** and **avarie’s** …this is just what I needed! Thanks everyone! GT ---

> [@rocking chair](#): > > everybody remember to place your cards in the south-west relationship and love area of your house or bedroom. to feel the love the whole year through! Hm – the one I got from **Sunspace** in a previous year that I liked enough to frame? It’s actually already in the SW corner. Thanks for reminding me of how long I’ve been single, **rocking chair**! 😛 ---

I got two cards today. One of mine also came back, for insufficient postage - to NJ. But all the others went just fine? Weird. Anyway, Mr. New Jersey, I’ll be re-sending yours on Monday with more postage. \*\*faithfool’s \*\* message made me very happy. And your name is very pretty. **gardentraveler** , your handwriting is too neat to be real. 🙂 ---

I opened my cards from **Anaamika** & **Avarie537** thank you both! The heart will grace our (SW) bedroom wall, at least for a while. Hubby got the candies, he says thanks too. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2006-valentines-exchange/341154.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2006-valentines-exchange/341154.md?page=5)
