**labtrash** , I don’t think you killed it. I am a little worried about **melodyharmonius** , though. Does anyone know what’s going on? ---

Sorry gang - let me do a quick summary of my life: Turned 40. Spent my birthday and the next 2 days incredibly sick. Dragged my behind to work on that Friday, only to find out that my boss (and project sponsor - I’m a contractor) had been let go. Spent the weekend sick and stressed. Spent last week trying to make sure my project didn’t go out the window and trying to find a new job as back-up. This week, I’m finally kicking towards the surface instead of frantically trying not to drown. I have the grid almost done - just need to send out notifications. In the meantime, feel free to read the [poet’s submissions for this month](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=561112)- a few of us in this group contributed and would appreciate your participation! (this is not an attempt at bribery - merely a distractionary method while I feverishly finish up the exchange). ---

My apologies again to everyone for the extreme wait on the Round 3 notifications. Everyone who signed up was sent their 3 names for this round today. Please check your private messages or email (if appropriate) to find your list. **Deadline for sending postcards: MAY 31st (US MEMORIAL DAY)** Remember, every day you don’t send out your postcards is another day that a fellow Doper looks sadly at their postman! 😉 As of my records, the following people had signed up in the time allotted: **Doper Name** Algher Anaglyph anya marie Butterscotch canadiankorean dbygawdcapn Elendil’s Heir Emily Litella Faithfool FloatyGimpy Future Londonite gardentraveler labtrash Melodyharmonius Nayna Needs Coffee Noone Special Old Joe penultima thule ScareyFaerie Skara Brae Švejk Taomist The Blue-Sighted Shadow TheTerribleTako VunderBob Waxwinged If you feel that your name should have been on there but was not, please let me know. I won’t be able to include you in the exchange - but would be happy to send you a postcard myself! This will be the last round for a while. I may do another round in the fall - and will definitely repeat this in 2011. So don’t forget to grab some postcards on your summer vacation! –mel ---

I was going through my subscribed threads yesterday, and nearly deleted this one because Round 3 was taking so long to start… Now I have to go find more cards. ---

I have purchased cards but I can’t post them until Monday when I can get stamps - guess who forgot the PO closes early on Saturday? Anyway, they will definitely be in the mail on Monday. Guaranteed! ---

Hurray! I sent mine off on Saturday. The farmer’s market is next to the post office - so I went there after buying my weekly home-grown goodies! ---

Thank you, **Elendil’s Heir**! I got my postcard yesterday. I’m glad you’re having a lovely spring in your neck of the woods; we are, too! I have not sent mine yet, because my house is in mid-painting disaster mode. I will find them, and I will send them, by Monday the 31st. ---
