I just got done sending out the full Secret Santa list. If you signed up and DID NOT get an Email, mail me right away! Remember peoples, please don’t buy a dildo if they don’t want one. 😉 –Tim ---

Cool. Thanks! I am so happy that I got who I got! Are we ever supposed to reveal ourselves as the “secret santas,” or are the presents supposed to be sent anonymously? ---

LOL Bear, why do you say that? FTR, I listed everyone in Excel in the order I got their email, then listed everyone on paper. Cut the paper up, put the names in a jar, and pulled a name out as I went down the list. That’s how names were assigned. Green Bean: The will of the people 🙂 If you were supposed to get someone and you didn’t, please mail me. –Tim ---

I had completely forgotten about this and almost deleted the email as spam. Fortunately I didn’t. I didn’t read the other thread carefully, was their any consensus on price limits? ---

That would make things so much easier! Homer, help! I emailed you ---

Got to weigh back in here. If my Secret Santa tries to send me email it probably won’t get through because I see I haven’t changed my email address with the SDMB. But if you have my user name Baker, and don’t have the mailing address, post here and I will send a snail mail address, along with real name, gender, etc. ---
