Bump. Got any updates on the victim and card count, FCM? BTW, I boought a new card for Megan, and I can’t get it to print because the MSWord margins go wacko whenever I try to define a cstom page. Might have to put the logo on a stick, and write it by hand. ---

I bugged my daughter again last night to get all the cards over to our house so I can see them. I know the girl has gotten more than 50 cards so far, including one from Finland. I shall nag again when she gets home from school today. Don’t feel alone in not knowing what’s going on - I’m as in the dark as everyone else. Durn kids anyway!! ---

**jjimm** , I’ll have to check. Honestly, I’m trying to get a look at all of them so I can give a full report. But _you_ try getting a teenager to do something you want! 😃 ---

Well, I still haven’t seen the cards, but I know she’s gotten more than 60. And she was talking to the other co-conspirator, saying she thought my daughter and I were responsible. Luckily, the other friend is a good actor and fibber. “Do you _really_ think her mother would give out your address on the internet??” 😃 I’m still nagging my kid about getting me a look at the cards. Sheesh, kids… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by FairyChatMom \* > **I know the girl has gotten more than 50 cards so far, including one from Finland.** Woohoo! Mine got there! I was wondering what had become of my most excellent “Finlandia Hall – located in downtown Helsinki, this magnificent example of contemporary Finnish architecture is constructed entirely out of Spam containers” card. 🙂 ---

Bringing this thread back from the great beyond to mention that I finally got around to mailing my card. The one with the Duquesne Incline on it, talking about spam pot pie, is mine. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/invasion-of-the-spamferries/212717.md?page=3)
