    @Irishlass, I've added a blurb to the app for shipping issues, but we will do our best to match up participants in-country for those that have difficulties with the postage, so it shouldn't be an issue.

    @snugglepuss go to some of the question posts from the thanksgiving card event and answer each in a separate post or the game posts; it won't take you long at all.

    Can we also remind everyone to put their ScaryMommy screen names on the packages? I still don't know who sent my mother's day card!

    And I bought a box of random crap for @goodmommy lol!!

    @Irishlass I have a little something coming your way and now I feel like an ass that it's almost all for b! I sent it snail mail though instead of airmail so it may take a bit.

    This sounds like so much fun!!! 
    “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

    :( Wish I could... I'd love to get a random gift from a random SM. but I simply can't justify 15 (plus shipping) for something frivolous. Sorry SM's :( I love you all lots but... $15 is a lot of money when you're unemployed :(
