> [@norinew](#): > > Happy Valentine’s Day to all!! > I don’t know what happened, but for some reason I never received my list of Valentine exchange dopers! I’ve been getting the loveliest valentine cards, but have no addresses to send any in return. :o :o :o I’m terribly sorry about that, **norinew** ; there must have been another mail error. I’ll resend you your list tonight. ---

No USA Dopers received mail today due it being Presidents Day, giving our postal carriers a day off. ---

As exhausted as I was last night after a long day on the road, I had enough strength to open the pile of Valentines that awaited my return. Thanks to one and all!! It was a bright spot in an otherwise ucky day. I got a kick out of the Christmas stamps, since I used them too - along with year of the monkey stamps and amphibian stamps. 😃 ---

Well, I think I’ve found the only downside to the Doper Valentine exchange – it gives my husband an excuse to stiff me on Vaklentine’s Day! When I gave him his valentine he thanked me and then said, nodding towards the mantel, “I’d have gotten you a valentine, but the Dopers came through so nicely I figured you were covered…” Nice, huh? Oh well, you all _did_ come through nicely (and, they’re still coming). We had friends over on Monday and they were very jealous to see all my lovely valentines so prominently displayed! ---

Yes, thanks to no postal delivery on Sunday or Monday… I had a few waiting for me when I finally got home yesterday! So thank _you_, **maggy, Skittles, Annie-Xmas, Krisfer, Jackelope, Miss Take, and Aries**! Wow, seven of them. Was quite a pleasant surprise, especially after undergoing apheresis. I felt drained. 😉 ---
