Recap time, again (imagine a thick accent please) : [ul] [li]Anaamika[/li][li]anyrose[/li][li]Avarie537[/li][li]buttonjockey308 – who I’m still bugging to give up the goods. Where are you Car 54?[/li][li]BrattiAtti[/li][li]faithfool[/li][li]FaerieBeth – a sister in arms! 🙂 [/li][li]gardentraveler[/li][li]LVgeogeek[/li][li]monica[/li][li]Mr Bus Guy[/li][li]ronincyberpunk[/li][li]Scotticher – ooooh, I’m so glad to see you back! I’ve soooo missed you!![/li][li]Susie Derkins[/li][/ul] We are now legion. Well, or at least fourteen. Someone else come on and at least make us hit the ubiquitous Ides of March ideal. And don’t anyone be stopped from joining. I’ll take all comers on… newbies, shy guys, TPTB, you name it. Be _right here_ waiting for you. With, uh (ok, so I’m running out of green things to list – little help here please) broccoli, lettuce and celery. Yeah. Okay. 😛 Also, everyone has done pretty well on telling me whether they’ll ship internationally or not, but some are leaving out how many quantities they’ll take on. Not to mention again, what do you guys think of a cut-off mail out date? Lemme know (and similarly, if _you_ have a question). If some of this goes unanswered before we head into T minus time, I’ll even be emailing personally to get a proper count, etc. Guess that’s it for now. I’m having a blast doing this and ‘meeting’ some of y’all for the first time. I’ve gotten plenty of sweet correspondence, of which I’m very appreciative. Looking forward to even more response. Especially if I need to use my Irish temper to brow beat more into participating. What? 😃 Plus, I know a couple people here and there. Come support your mentally deranged friend. I need all the help I can get, yanno. Don’t make me call you guys out. I think I know how to do that. I think. ---

I’m always up for presents. caught a Friends rerun last night - Joey and Ross commisserating over Rachel, nothing to drink but “this green stuff” - they take sips, Ross likes is, sees Joey’s “yucky” face and makes the same face so as not to seem faggy ---

So far, I do appreciate the lovely **Maureen** for rounding out our list in honor of Sir Shakespeare. Now if she’ll just get her hiney in gear and send me her personal (bwahahahaha!) information, she too will be set. ( And no I promise to keep it under 400 spam lists that I sell it to. 😉 ) Anyone else? Bueller?? Oh, I’m talking to you too **Hermie**. 😛 ---

Not to mention again, what do you guys think of a cut-off mail out date? I don’t remember if I put a count or not, but if there’s only 15-20 of us, I don’t have a problem with sending to everyone. I’ve already planned for it, anyway. And NO CUTOFF DATE! Why? Because I just got the last V-Day card in my mailbox early this week. I love getting stuff after the event, it stretches it out too long. Others are free to disagree. Just don’t listen to them, **faithfool**. 🆒 ---

To echo the others, if there are only a few of us, I don’t mind sending to all. :p\* \*Kiss me! I’m Irish!..well, my family was, anyway. ---

**LAST CALL!** Anyone else wants in has until midnight tonight. Yeah, I know I said I’ll give through tomorrow, but this is my mess here and I figure I’ll need the extra day to make sure I have it all right. Newbies, we need you. Participate, dammit! Surely **Maureen** isn’t the only other Doper I’ve been able to rope in since my last plea. Don’t _make_ me hold my breath until I look like this ----\> :eek: ! My ‘beauty’ needs no additional help. 😛 Here’s who all I’ve gots so far (if’n I missed ya, get on to me, 'kay?): [ul] [li]Anaamika[/li][li]anyrose[/li][li]Avarie537[/li][li]buttonjokey308 – who I’m emailing today _individually_ for personal information (tsk, tsk)[/li][li]BrattiAtti[/li][li]faithfool[/li][li]FaerieBeth[/li][li]gardentraveler[/li][li]LVgeogeek[/li][li]Maureen[/li][li]monica[/li][li]Mr Bus Guy[/li][li]ronincyberpunk[/li][li]Sotticher[/li][li]Susie Derkins[/li][/ul] Alright, here’s what else I’m appealing for assistance covering… [ol] [li]These folks need to tell me if they too are willing to send to the whole list (since it’s so short – thus far). Or however many.[/li] [ul] [li]Maureen[/li][li]Scotticher[/li][li]LVgeogeek[/li][li]Avarie537[/li] [/ul] You guys are all that I don’t have a specific amount for. [li]Obvioulsy, just ONE address (you _know_ who you are!) 😃 .[/li] [ul] [li]buttonjockey308[/li] [/ul] [li]Finally, just to rest everyone’s mind a bit easier for those who don’t do international shipping, there are no addresses outside the U.S. at this time. That shouldn’t detour anyone else from joining in, because I’m willing to torture you. 🙂 I mean, send you a card or sumpin’. Oh, and Hi Opal![/li][/ol] For now, that’s everything I 'spose. However, I expect more sacrifices on the alter of Saint Patrick. Where is y’all’s spirit? As you know is true, pinching will be in the offing if you don’t pony up. Erm, or severe scolding by a really perky 6 year old. Can someone put one up for loan? ---

Ha! I have bought gifts. Small ones, inconsequently cheap, but fitting with the holiday. Each of you will recieve one of these wonderful (cheap) gift-like things, so that now I don’t feel guilty for not making customized, handmade cards to send. ---
