[QUOTE=Pixilated] 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! [/QUOTE] I did!!! And one from \*\*tarragon \*\* too! ---

Hrm. I sent my e-cards out as soon as I got home, and sent some pretty girly ones out there to all the ladies on my list. When I went to check out some more to send to the mens , the site suddenly stopped working, and I keep having to send error reports. I was hoping maybe it was just the one site, so I decided to leave it for now and get back to it when it seemed to be working again. However, when I went to click on some of the ecards in my inbox (all from various sites and none from the site I use), they don’t work for me, either. So something’s up with my comp! Yar. The rest of the ecards are a-comin’! I just didn’t want anyone to think I forgot them. I’ll figure it out, I hope… Try control alt delete! Jiggle the cord! Turn him off and on! Clean the gunk out of the mouse! Call technical support! ---

Just missed the edit window. It’s working! I jiggled the cord. 😃 The rest of the Valentine’s are on the way! ---

I’d love to get one from you. Look in your inbox. But what concerns me is that I sent out a bunch, and apparently only one has been received. They were sent on Monday. Is the USPS really that slow? ---

I think the post office must be delayed, none of ours seem to have been recieved, not even the one we sent to ourselves as a test at the same time. Hmm. Snow, maybe? ---

More e-cards received from: **Anastaseon Gardentraveler Lionne** Haven’t received any more Snail-mail yet. And nobody (except **BooFae** ) has got my snail cards, either! ☹ Guess I shouldn’t expect much if even within the N. American continent the mail doesn’t seem to be moving… I’m sure they’ll all get there eventually. ---
