Wasn’t nagging, just worried that I might have missed it since my e-mail was full. Now stop tapping your foot or I will have to sit behind you and kick the back of your chair. 😉 ---

Prolly GreenBean had the ExtraHigh Dosage Tryptophan turkey and is only just now emerging from Post Ingestion of Turkey Syndrome (PITS). PITS is not always easy to recover from and can be exacerbated by psychotic family members, and high expectations of familial good will and forced togetherness. PITS is frequently healed with Sommelent Mornings Interspersed with Lengthy Evening Situations (SMILES). I’m sure good ole greenbeen will be writing to all of us soon. Yours in silly Acronyms, -white ink ---

\*\*White ink \*\* you are a genius. That is the makings of a Hallmark card of an entirely different venue. 🙂 You must stop living in reality and spend more time _here_ amusing us unwashed troglidites who are hungry for good funny writing. None of which are in this post. At least your post count would be higher. :::::bump:::::: ---

No offense, **Greenbean** , but I do hope you are able to let us know what is going on with SS2003. I also hope you are well, and that nothing bad has happened to you. ---

Sure, she gets us all hyped up on holiday cheer, then goes AWOL – sigh. I’m sure she’s been doing nothing all weekend but making the matches, and that we’ll be getting our emails any… minute … nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww… ---

I have sent an email to Lynn detailing our concern. Hopefully we will be hearing something. I also volunteered to take over, but hopefully Green Bean will let us know what our matches are. ---

I just spoke with **Green Bean**. She apologizes for the delay in getting the Secret Santa e-mails out. Last week, she was having connection problems that held up her distributing the matches. When she tried to update last week during the times she could get on, the SDMB hamsters were being grinchlike. Then she went away for Thanksgiving. Anyway, the good hamsters willing, she’ll be here later today to update and have the e-mails out soon after that.
