i will volunteer to coordinate this.. if you would like a card sent to you or send a card, pm me your mailing address and a name the post office will deliver to.. what do you think the cut off date should be for sending the exchange lists out to everyone?.
do you want it pm'd or e-mailed (if emailed send your email address with your snail mail.. i know that cards going overseas can take longer.. .

Zid- I just saw this, sorry it took me so long.
Mice are fantastic pets! We had some in an aquarium, good because they can't chew it, bad because it limits air circulation. The little plastic habitats are good as long as you check for chewing every time you clean it, but can be hard to clean all the little spaces. Metal cages with close wires are great for climbers and have good air circulation. I personally like metal cages that can be scrubbed easily.Our vet told us to use the paper bedding instead of wood shavings- it makes a huge difference to their health.
Okay back on topic:
There are still cards coming, they are all simply beautiful! My JW husband even had ideas for displaying them. After Christmas I was looking at some displays of cards for next year and all he said was,"You don't need those right now, you can pick some out later when you have more time to find what you want. " He was really nice about everything this year, quite a difference from other years.
nothing profound in this thread.. just a simple "merry christmas" to those here who no longer consider it as something evil to be avoided.. the message goes out especially to those on the board:.
-- who never were allowed to celebrate christmas growing up.
-- who weren't allowed to say "merry christmas" back to "worldlies" who said it to them.
I fit into all those categories so:
Merry, merry Christmas everyone!!

Hey finallysomepride- got your card yesterday
So many pretty cards, I had them on a side table but decided to hang them on the stair railing like Gary did, still might not be enough
room so might string a ribbon in our picture window and hang them there. Or maybe around the doorway, choices choices...
Ziddina- thank you for the mice! I used to collect mice, still have a few. Over the years we have even had a few mice and rats for pets, they are the best!
Thank you everybody!
I remember hearing this same story about Jimmy Carter.

Mine are done but we're having a lot of lake effect snow and driving bans so will mail in the next couple days, whenever I can get to the post office.
it s me again....and yes, i m still alive.. first of all: i am really sorry for causing some trouble lately.
i had the intention of taking an overdose the other day.
to be perfectly honest, i was drunk out of my mind when i wrote my last post, and someone i knew gave me all kind of pills to take.
I'm happy you're okay.
Listen to Yknot's wise advice. We are here for you.
you probably heard of people worshiping people (such as a parent, a study conductor), things (crosses, money), or organizations (a church, the washtowel babble and crap slaveholdery).. i believe, however, there is one other thing one can worship: actions.
and, among the witlesses, the most common acts that are worshiped are field circus and boasting session attendance.
this happens when one believes that they are going to see one or more of their problems gone as long as they are attending every boasting session and/or doing excessive field circus.
That is the most profound thing I've read in a long time. Describes my family to a tee.
