I accidentally deleted the list I used to match people up. I still have everyone’s names and info and everything, just not who-got-who. PLEASE mail me with the person you were assigned, that’s all I need, so I can rebuild my list and make sure EVERYONE has a person, and everyone’s getting a gift. I don’t want anyone left out! All I need is the person you were assigned’s screenname. If you never got the first email: Don’t worry. You will get assigned a person. If you saw it too late: then you can mail me NOW to get on the 2nd string list. Just kidding, it’s not 2nd stringers. It’ll just be a new list for the people who didn’t make it the first time. –Tim ---

Hey - since this is secret, what’s to stop Homer from giving EVERYONE his name?? I’m sorry - that was completely uncalledfor… but funny in a warped way. Makes me wish I’d thought of it… \ 😃 ---

Just wanted to let you know that I have e-mailed Homer twice to let him know I didn’t get an e-mail from him. If I don’t hear from Homer, I want to apologize in advance to my person, who won’t get a present. I WANT TO SPEND MONEY DAMMIT! (That’s the holiday spirit). Thanks. Paula - the other dopers wouldn’t let her play in their reindeer games ☹ ---

ACKK! I thought I had mailed you back about that! Sorry, that’s the main reason that I’m doing this is to figure out who you have so I can get you your person! I’m extremely sorry for the confusion. You’re going to get your person as soon as the 9 other people respond with who they have and I sift through to see who’s missing. Sorry again. ☹ –Tim ---

I THINK I emailed you, but the email account I use on this connection appears to be sporadic in it’s reliability. If you didn’t get mine, would you please email me at Scotticher@aol. com? Scotti ---
