> [@Anaamika](#): > > All you people who sent yours late: > > Stop fretting! That way we’re getting them for \*days \* after Valentine’s Day! I agree. I have to admit that I had withdrawal pains when I went to my mailbox today and found _no_ valentines! I don’t think I can handle cold turkey. ---

Yay! I’ve got cards from **BrattiAtti** , **twickster** , and **Jess**. **Punkyova** , yours came in the other day and I left it on the countertop, where my mom found it and started gushing, “Who’s little girl is that? She’s the most adorable thing. Look at those cheeks!” ---

I’ve been really lazy about thanking everyone individually, but I got a ton of cards in the mail on Monday, and another ton today, which was actually great timing cause those were both pretty bad days for me. Much love all around, Dopers. ---

You know, thanks to EVERYONE! It’s so fun to get happy mail. And so many of you are incredibly creative. I really enjoyed every envelope. I got great quotes, terrific flowery art…I love it all! We should seriously do this for other holidays. ---

Another ingrate who’s not been posting individual thanks – but I’ve been having an extremely shitty week, overall, and the love in my mailbox each night has helped me get through it. The Valentine exchange is absolutely my most favorite Doper tradition! Thanks all, and hugs, and stuff – twicks [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-valentine-exchange-05/286357.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-valentine-exchange-05/286357.md?page=8)
