Uhmm, **dantheman** , I hate to tell you this, but you’re on my short list, and I have a _very_ twisted sense of humour! Please picture a good 5 minutes of evil laughter here. 😃 You might want to consider wearing a hazmat suit when opening your mail for the next week or so. CJ _Bwu-ha-ha-ha-ha-hah!_\*\* ---

Well, my out-of-states cards went to the post office this morning, and the rest are now sealed and ready to go. **Krisfer** - if you want my address, you can email me. ---

Mine are going out on Monday after I get stamps. Watch for rather shiny address labels and stickers. 🙂 ---

I’ve got the cards; I’ve got the paper; now all I need is a bit more creativity. Oh, and **dantheman** , I yield – I’ll spare the dog! Besides, Fredericks of Hollywood is a bit too far away, and today’s going to be a bit too busy for me to make a run up there on the off chance they carry something they used to. CJ ---

**Registration is closed!** If you missed it, sorry. Get in early for the next exchange. Anybody who joined in the last few days hasn’t gotten their lists yet, because I decided not to keep sending updates. And we’ve got some more updates, all right. Please welcome our final batch of players: **Annie-Xmas look!ninjas Ultraviolet Jaade Mikie Andros\_X Portia** Final count: 58 people! 😃 I’ll send out the updated lists in a few hours. Enjoy! **Blonde** , be careful what you ask for. I just might decide to pay it. 😉 ---

_pout_ I don’t know if you got my second email, **Scuba** but I hope so. So far, I haven’t received any lists but I’ll keep my fingers crossed. ---

Okay, I am having SO much fun making valentine’s. I’m a little stupid in that I decided to MAKE all mine. I have no talent, so they look a lot like a kindergartner did them. But I dont’ even care, because it’s such a KICK. Right now, I’m listening to music and writing addresses on envelopes in my ugly handwriting. How should I sign them? Just my first name? My Dope name? Anyway, I was wondering if it might be cool to keep my list for other potentially card-sending events? Like Easter or whatever? I mean, I have all this glue and glitter and stuff. Laura ---

The updates are out. Short lists have 28 people on them, long lists have 58 people. Please try your best to send a card to everybody on your list. If you didn’t get a list, please email me. **SanguineSpider** , I’ve only received one email from you, so I think there’s an email problem. I’ll try again in a minute. I haven’t been able to reply personally to more than a few emails, due to “the volume of entries received.” Not even those of you who asked for my phone number, offered to swap photos, or wanted me to have their children (shipping not included). I’ll start getting caught up with the personal emails. Now I’m off to start on my stack of cards. I think I’ll need more cards! IMHO, I’m going to sign with my screen name, since it’s partly my real name as well. ---

**Scuba\_Ben** , I did not receive an updated list. My original list had 25 names. Will I receive an updated list with more names? Need to know cuz I may need more materials!! Thanks. ---

I’m really sorry guys, but I’m going to have to drop out. My kids have come down with a nasty virus and there’s no way I can finish making and writing out all these cards. ☹ I’ve emailed **Scuba\_Ben** but if you see this first please strike me off the list. Once again, I’m really sorry. ---

Sorry about your kids, **LunaSea** … ☹ However, you’ll be getting at least one anyway, unless the Post Office loses it. And don’t be feeling all guilty or anything - it’s all about sharing the love! Hope the young 'uns get better quick! ---

Well, I went to Wal-Hell to get cards for you guys - sorry, I just didn’t have the time to hand-make all those cards, so you’re getting cheap, store-bought, pre-printed stuff… But hey! Cut me some slack! I’m on an assignment OUT OF TOWN and I’m still putting these things together…the first batch will mail tomorrow, and the second batch will mail Tuesday. Don’t worry, the foreign, out-of-country stuff mails tomorrow… And they’re all signed with my DoperName. ---

I just finished writing and adressing all my cards. They will be in the mail tomorrow. I hope they get to everyone in time. Canada Post is not the swiftest at times. Unfortunately I am sending store-bought cards, but it’s the thought that counts! Looking forward to receiving cards from all over the US and Canada.
