    Quoth Kit-Ginevra View Post
    Afraid we have some news...apparently a whole bunch of post in our area has been found lying about-it was from mid-December.. it seems somebody was going through it hunting for cash or presents in the Christmas mail and the rest just got chucked somewhere It may be that the cards that haven't made it were in there.I shall try and get some new ones sent out,as the originals even if they didn't get opened may not be in a wonderful state after having spent a month dumped in a field
    Excuses, excuses.

    Seconding csquared, though. Don't feel like you have to spend a bunch of extra money.

    This is the kind of things that just makes me... Let's see, I'll stay civilized here and just say "livid". The people involved in this are just the lowest of bottom feeders. I hope that they nail their @$$.

    For as much as I was looking forward to a card from across the pond, don't feel the need to spend your money to replace mine.

    Yeah. Weather's been odd this past week.

    We had sub-10F lows for most of last week (y'all know where I am ) and New Orleans was much better -- Plenty of folks on FB showing temps there that were colder than Calgary or Juneau p_O
    Last week I was on the fence about whether to wear my regular wool coat or my down coat (which I wore for the first couple weeks of January) and yesterday felt almost like spring and I was wearing the wool coat, but unbuttoned with no scarf or gloves.

    Not sure what it's like today, but I feel like crap and have no plans to go out. It's sunny, though.

    EricKei's card arrived this week.

    Would have reported in earlier, but had to deal with slightly different work schedule due in part to snow that occurred on Wednesday.

    My apologies for my dumb ass not getting them out. They are ready to go, but because I don't drive and have to depend on the kindness of strangers (LOL) I have had a rough time getting them to the Post Office.
    Okay, Blanche DuBois..

    I'd say maybe drop a PM to them if there's been no word by this weekend or so

    I have yet to receive only two cards from my fellow card exchange participants. According to the card chart nobody else has either. Oh well, that always seems to be the case every year. There's always a few no-shows.
    They both posted a couple pages back so hopefully they're still coming...

    Now to start designing a card for next Christmas.

    I got a card from EricKei today! And yes, the USPS does seem to be having difficulties with Kit's cards (thought you guys meant ME for a second), as well as a few others in my case.

    It's because it has to swim across this big ocean,competing with all the other Christmassy cards and New Year cards making their way across.And because I count my coins and send it economy standard,it swims along in the slow lane... but it makes it there eventually
