That Shirt Ninja post was supposed to be mine, darnit!
This is the punishment I get for introducing my SO to the Dope.
again, I didn’t get your e-mail and thus cannot start Secret Shopping. please send it again and/or send it to kathryn dot everett at gmail. Thanks.

Keapon You throw like a girl!
phall check your email.
I’ve already shiped some cashola off to my local animal shelter - they’re trying to build a larger building to accomodate more beasties. 
So, again, are we supposed to sign the gifts or not?
And I’ll make my donation on Friday to Children and Family Services of NH, as we are selling 5 dollar gift cards for them at work, to put books in the hands of kids that might not get anything else this year.
If you wish to sign your card, you can. Or you can pleasantly torture your recipient for weeks.
That is always a plus. 
HAHAHAAHHA Didn’t think it was possible to make me laugh that hard within 10 minutes of me waking up.
Hey, I went out and bought my Secret Santa gift today! Luckily my recipient who shall remain unnamed gave me a very good hint, and I ended up buying one for them and one for myself! So thanks, recipient! It will go out in the mail tomorrow because I want to put some extra goodies in it.
If you were Ravenous Lady you would have bought yourself some extra tins of Vienna Sausage. Now that’s good eatin’!
I’m not *that * ravenous. 
Whew, I was scared for a second there, thought you drew my name and sent me a big old sausage.
I’m Ravenous for candy and seafood by the way, I’m pretty picky for being ravenous. I got the name from the movie. Those people weren’t picky one dang bit.
Ooh, are you talking about the Ravenous with Guy Pearce? Yep, that was yummy. 
if I was sending you a “big old sausage” it wouldn’t be food, my dear. 
Dammit.
Shirley, dear, can you please make sure Elenia28 is my Secret Santa next year?
PLEASE??
I’m confused on the charity aspect. I thought we were agreeing on a charity(ies) and making a lump sum donation to said charity(ies). Are we to take our $5 and donate it ourselves to a charity of our own choosing, or one of our giftees choice? If it’s one of our own, I’ll just increase the donation I plan on making to our local Hospice in my Mother’s name.
I thought I posted earlier, but apparently that sound is a hampster burping in satiation.
A friend of mine grabbed the – whatever I picked out for my recipient – and paid for it when we were in the — commercial establishment of one sort or another – so I didn’t actually shell out the money. I’m therefore going to add $10 to the $5 I’m giving to The American Friends Service Committee. (Casey – read upthread a bit – the last page, I think? Shirley has become daunted at the logistics and we’re going to do it on the honor system, to the charity of your choice.)
That’s what I did Casey, basically because it’s too hard for us non-Americans to get money to the USA (especially such a small sum as $5). And I’d prefer to support a local charity anyway.
Daunted …nice word. Described my three neuron’s nicely.
Kat, I don’t know why it didn’t work. I’ll try again. Defenders of Wildlife. I hope it works.
Shirley, I still don’t have an e-mail from you. Please e-mail me my Secret Santa! I miss it and want to play!
