Hopefully snail-mail will arrive soon. I sent five, and only one arrived so far. I’ve gotten three, and those were all by Monday. ---

I sent out cards on Monday… my intention was to send them on Sat but I did not realize that the postal office was closed completely on Sat (sorry, new town and dont know all the ins and outs yet). I hope at least one person receives their Valentine’s from me today! Anyways, Happy St Valentine’s Day to all! ---

Snail mail from \*\*Hockey Monkey \*\* (with a recipe, too! 😃 ) and from \*\*rosie \*\*, chock full of goodies and, sadly, a pulverized former lollipop which was pretty much dust and a stick. The little plastic heart thingies will become clay tools - they should work nicely for making impressions in wet clay - yay! I’ve also received a gazillion ecards, from Dopers and non-dopers alike. Thank you all for brightening my day! _MWAH!_ ---

[QUOTE=FCM] a pulverized former lollipop which was pretty much dust and a stick. [/QUOTE] I was afraid of that. I hope at least one person receives an intact lolly. ---

Today’s mail brought cards from **HockeyMonkey** - can’t wait to try that recipe, thanks! - and **TroubleAgain**. Thanks to all who sent ecards too - this is really such fun! **Rosie** , the lollipop was nearly intact, but we lost a couple of the hearts! **SpecialOne** , the PO told me your package would take 6-10 days. ☹ It’s on the way, you’ll get it eventually, hopefully (had to do a customs form on it, cause it has something in it … :p). ETA: LOL First on Four! 🙂 ---

Thanks to **Hockey Monkey** (the recipe looks yum), **Pixilated** , **rosie** , and **TroubleAgain** for the neat cards and goodies. And thanks for all the e-cards. I had no idea there were so many e-card sources out there. Happy Valentine’s Day! GT ---

Sorry I haven’t been around lately … My absence can be explained here [Happy Valentines Day to us one day early - Baby is here! - Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=455777). I’ll get mine out in the mail as soon as I can - I should be able to do e-greetings when I get home tomorrow (or maybe over the weekend). I can’t wait to get home and see what’s arrived in my mailbox! ---

[QUOTE=freckafree] Best. Reason. Evah. CONGRATS!.. [/QUOTE] Those were pretty much my first thoughts too. **Avarie** , I sent you one more e-mail address; I somehow skipped a person in the original list I sent you.

Thank you, **troubleagain** and **dogbutler** , for the cards and little stickers, and the little rubbery heart thingy. **Hockey Monkey** - the post office screwed up. They sent your back to me for insuffient postage, because the stamp (proper amount - same as all the others) was not in the upper corner. :rolleyes: I shall send you a fresh one tomorrow ---
