I’d like to get in on the begging bandwagon - [shahrizai#@#livejournal.com](mailto:shahrizai#@#livejournal.com) . Too bad LiveJournal got rid of invite codes - I’d have a few of those to trade. _laughs_ ---

I’d like one too! Please take pity on a little Aussie! (Who surely won’t be quick enough emailing someone after they post, because she is studying for exams and can’t keep tabs on the thread.) 🙂 bluecurlz @ [hotmail.com](http://hotmail.com) ---

I just found out about the yahoo thing last night. I was up to… oh… 96% and wanted to clean it out so I didn’t end up with my e-mail down. Nice thing to see. ---

_bats eyelashes_ Add me to the list of people who’d like a g-mail account… (I can currently be reached at nightsong9 (at) [hotmail.com](http://hotmail.com)… with that address, you can see why I’d want something else!) * * * \<\< I’ve got a cat in my lap and I can’t get up! :eek: \>\> ---

This is becoming rather hard to keep up with. Would it be possible if those that have asked for an invitation on this thread and have subsequently received one please let us know by posting back? I’m currently sitting on five invites and have emailed five people in this thread to see if they still need one. I simply do not want anyone to feel snubbed. 😉 ---

Someone sent me an invite. I’m not sure it was you, siberia, because the invite references the sender by full name and not by user name. I thank whomever sent me the invite. ---

If someone’s got one, I’d be glad to have one. I feel totally selfish for even asking, because I already used mine and stupidly took a jackass username, but if there’s an extra unclaimed I’d be glad to have it. And I promise to be more careful this time. ---

'Twas me. 🙂 I hope my last post did not sound snarky. I’m just trying to streamline the process as well as assuage my guilt over those that reside in a radically different time zone. > [@JuanitaTech](#): > > Someone sent me an invite.

I simply do not want anyone to feel snubbed. 😉 I just checked. Thank you soooooo much. If you give me your snail mail address I’ll send you something from Australia. (If you’d like something!) 🙂 ---

If anyone’s keeping track, you can take me off the list; I’m set. By the way, the Gmail server has been down for the last hour or so. I wonder if this is a bad sign for the future? > [@](#): > > \*\*Server Error > \*\* > Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes.

The fun part is that each new gmail account gets 3 further invites to send out. Or atleast that’s what happened with my gmail account. So we should be able to fill everyone here. In theory. ---

Personally, because of our disability, of not being in the same time zone as all you US of A’ers, I feel\* that Australians should get first pick the next time someone gets invitations 😉 Just to refresh: Me: [you\_are\_taking\_way\_too\_long\_to\_read\_this\_just\_now@hotmail.com](mailto:you_are_taking_way_too_long_to_read_this_just_now@hotmail.com) Consumer Sovereignty: [consumer\_sovereignty@hotmail.com](mailto:consumer_sovereignty@hotmail.com) And Burnt Sugar has already got hers 🙂 Cheers Engine \*Hey! I have to use some tactic ok! It’s either this or sit up all night on the board when I should be studying for my exams. 😛 ---
