And @Reeses_Monkey, please send your real name and mailing address to klgould5@gmail.com. Thank you!
vBulletin was the old board software that we retired back in the summer of 2020. Discourse is the board software we’ve been using since then.
I’m looking forward to shopping for my person. I’ve been doing some general shopping because I want to ship as soon as possible.
Thanks again for doing this.
Done! Sorry for the delay.
I dislike eating fish with their heads still on… but I hope no one sends me fish.
Basically, anything is going to be exotic, so go crazy.
Thank you @Nayna! I’ll email you my deets in a moment. Appreciate you putting this together 
I’m happy to ship internationally (as long as it’s reasonably sized).

I want to be in but I can’t figure out your email Nayna. If you can email me I will reply with all the info.
I just e-mailed you so you can respond, but if your address is the same as last year (1301), you don’t even really have to e-mail me! Just put some likes/dislikes in this thread.
Yay!
I like just about anything, love surprises. Specialty cookbooks or ingredients are good, and I adore chocolate almost anything. If you find anything dachshund related I would love it. Books are fun. Dont let the above restrict you though.
Oh, I will ship overseas.
OMG this is my favorite holiday tradition. I’m IN!!! PLEASE!
Folks have traditionally sent me purple things (gee, can’t guess why) and I have a cat who might enjoy a present.
No allergies, enjoy dark chocolate and … well, any fun treat, really.
Cat tax paid:
Don’t let her fool you with those pics of a cat in a shipping box. If she is your Santa, your box will come full of fun and delightful things, but no cat.
The cat is a lie.
Good thing:
from xkcd: A-Minus-Minus.
OK, I’ve got everyone organized, Santas have been chosen! I’ll send e-mails out tomorrow with the info. Sorry for the slight delay; this is just so much easier to do at my office where I have two monitors than it is at home on my tiny and slow little laptop.
Thanks for all your hard work. This should be fun!
Oh yes, thanks for the work. Don;t forget to sign up for yourself.
I am in total agreement, thank you so much for doing this for us, and thanks for being willing to pick up my slack. I owe you one.
Did you send the emails? I haven’t got one.
Hi, @Baker - I just sent you a PM asking for your e-mail address. I did send you two e-mails using the address I’ve used in previous years, but it sounds like you’re not receiving them. You can also e-mail me at klgould5@gmail.com and I’ll respond.
Hi, @Baker! I just received your email, and responded to it. This is my third or fourth e-mail to you in the last few weeks, I’m not sure why you’re not receiving them. I also sent you information by private message.
I’ve had issues with getting PM’s from just one doper. Sometimes it takes days and even weeks before the reply comes and I’m sure I’ve missed a couple.
The doper isn’t Baker or you, I’m just saying that this might not be a one off thing.
