OK…I’m back and about to send e-mails. I’ll be back to post a message when I’m done. We have 27 participating (there are a few people who didn’t post in the thread). More info in a bit. GT ---

Valentine lists should be in your inboxes. Please make sure that all the information you were expecting is there. I’m pretty sleep-deprived this week. Everyone should be sending and receiving the same number of Valentines. People who wanted to send to everyone are sending to just about everyone. I included e-mail addresses for those people who had specifically said it was OK to do so. If you didn’t respond to my e-mail or post in this thread that it was OK, I assumed you didn’t want to share. Please use e-mail addresses only for Valentine’s Day messages unless you get the OK from the addressee. Otherwise you’ll be on **FCM’s** list. (I’m not actually worried about this - participants have been really nice in past years - but figured it was prudent to reiterate…) Any other questions? Comments? Yay!!! It’s Valentine’s season again!!! GT ---

I assume there were folks who just provided email addresses? Because 4 of mine have no snail mail addresses. ---

[QUOTE=FairyChatMom] I assume there were folks who just provided email addresses? Because 4 of mine have no snail mail addresses. [/QUOTE] The ones without snail mail addresses are just in case you want to send e-mail. The only “official” people on your list are the ones with snail mail addresses. (It sounded to me like some people wanted to relay greetings to everyone electronically in addition to the standard Valentines.) Everything e-mail related is purely optional. Sorry for the confusion (this is where I plead sleep deprivation 😃 ). ---

Thanks so much for putting this together for us, **GT**! LOL I admit, I was a bit confused by the email-only addresses, but did figure it out eventually. And will follow through with email valentines. 🙂 Thanks again. ---

I just finished all of my snail mail envelopes and I’m about to dash to the post office with them. You’ll recognize them by the many colorful hearts stuck on the outside of the envelope. I went a little crazy. 😃 ---

I did mine last night and was going to go buy stamps today, but it’s raining like a son-of-a-bitch … I’ve still got a week … ---

I haven’t started yet. ☹ I want to start tonight, but at the last I’ll try to get any internationals out by Friday. ---

All of mine are in the hands of the postal service. So a bunch of you should get them by the end of the week. Open right away or not as you wish. I just knew if I didn’t get them done today, I wouldn’t get them done. ---

Mine are all enveloped and stamped, and will be in the mail box within the next 30 minutes when I go out to walk the dogs. With any luck, they’ll make it on time even though they’re _all_ overseas deliveries! Oh… and I mentioned my handle in those valentines where I was worried the recipient may not know me by my real name, but if I assumed somebody knows my name who doesn’t – if you get a Valentine from Israel, it’s from me 🙂 ---
