> [@NoClueBoy](#): > > **Dantheman** , be careful opening anyting from **Seige**. She said she performed some type of ancient Sumerian ritual which imprisoned an evil spirit in one of the words on your card. I asked for the spell and sent a similar demon to **VivaLosTwages**. All in the name of good Christian fun, don’t you know. :eek: You don’t suppose she’d really _do_ that, do you? I mean… she’s always seemed so nice to me. She wouldn’t… would she? (_uh-oh_) ---

[QUOTE=scout1222] I got my first valentine from **vivalostwages**! Yay for mail! SNIP [QUOTE] 🆒 I’m sure I could have gotten it to you in person in a couple of hours’ drive time… **NCB** …Uh oh. There’s no telling what he’s up to! ---

I got my list Sunday and I got all the cards but three addressed today! I’ll be sending them out tomorrow, so they may be a few days late…hope no one minds. 🙂 ~J ---

For some stupid email account reason, I have not received any lists from **Scuba**. His email doesn’t like my Hotmail so… I would like to officially apologize to all the Dopers who wanted to be a part of this cool holiday event. If my address is on someone’s list and I don’t send you a card, please please please do not hate me ☹ , I’ve emailed **Scuba** several times but our email accounts don’t seem to want to recognize each other. I’m pretty upset about it because I thought it was a wonderful way to spread warm fuzzies to other Dopers and I can’t be a part of it! I have one address only because this particular Doper and I have chatted in IM’s and we email each other on a semi-regular basis. We exchanged addresses but I can’t ask you all to do the same. I was really looking forward to being a part of this. I’m sorry ☹ ---

#1 - 24 or 25. It’s somewhere on page 3 of this thread, I think. (As many as you can get to, I’m on the list hint hint) #2 - yes. 58 in all. ---

I just resent **SanguineSpider** her list from my other email, the one that actually talks with her email. I’m also setting up Plan D to get her the list. I deeply regret the technical delays, and I apologize to everybody that Spider’s valentines will be a bit late. **NoClueBoy** , I never got contact information from **Hazeus** , so e’s not on the list. I think my updates on Sunday listed a few people twice; that might have screwed up a few people’s count of who to send a card to. In other news, yesterday I received my first cards, from **Twickster** , **Pandora** , and **YellowTail**! Thanks, folks! ---

Hey, **Ben** , don’t sweat it. You’re not getting paid enough to worry overtime about this. Besides, Valentines Day is only a convenient excuse to show our love for our fellow Dopers. So if I happen to get a card on, say, February 20th, it’s not filled with any less love than if I’d gotten it on the 14th. Mail with love is welcome ANY day of the year! ---

Yay! Mine just went out in the mail. However, I should note that I sent them through my company mail so they might be a touch slow to get there. Just hang tight…they will come. This was fun! I can’t wait to get home and start getting Valentine’s. I just keep picturing poor little Charlie Brown going to his mailbox everyday and not getting any… ☹ ---

…and I am sorry to say that some may not arrive by Saturday. My apologies, but as certain friends from down under can tell you, I haven’t been at my best lately. As a matter of fact it was a major effort to send out my cards due to the meschuggener way I have been feeling. I am totally stressed out, but am managing to hang onto a bit of sanity so that I can at least work: my one saving grace. I want to thank those of you who have taken the trouble to send me cards and thought about me. I’ll be back at some point. Until then, please accept my deepest apologies for the way I acted. Thank you and much love to you and yours this Valentine’s Day. Quasimodem ---

Whoo! Got my first card from **Archergal**! I love it! Thanks! I wish I could do that. I tried to do something original, please don’t kill me, guys. Also: One of the valentines I mailed out inadvertently had insufficient postage on it. They said they’d charge the recipient. My apologies for this, whoever you are… ---
