    yay, third year for me
    the only concern I have is that I may be moving soon... that shouldn't be something that can't be somewhat easily worked around (if nothing else, I submit a change of address form and the people at the Murray post office hate me)
    Is there anyone nearby who could receive them for you? (Guess that would depend on how far you might be moving..) I used my parents' address last year cuz I knew I'd be moving in November. I didn't seem to have much problem with having mail forwarded, in general, though.

      How many cards is one obliged to send, anyway? I am willing to send a couple out, but if I have to send approx. 15-20 cards to the US my budget may be limited about that.
      A theory states that if anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for, it will be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

      Another theory states that this has already happened.

        We've had as many as 60 at one point scattered mostly in the US, a few over seas.

              In the years I've participated, there have been between 45 and 65 or so people (mostly in the US, a handful in Canada and UK, and a few in other countries). Since we started so late this year and there's less time than normal to sign up, we may have fewer, but I can't guarantee anything. I can tell that right now we're up to about 20.

                I'm in!

                Can't wait to get going! The last two years have been great. I actually look forward to getting something in the mail other than a bill.

                  Doesn't that make it easier to see the poop to clean it up?
                  Not really it just causes a lot of up chuck that doesn't always come out of the carpet.

                    That's why there's an opt-out period. But in my experience the vast majority of the cards go to the us.

                      I wonder if those strapped for funds in other countries could maybe hook up with someone else from the same general area and double-send cards.

                      It wouldn't be as much fun as two cards arriving separately, but it would be a lot more fun than just one card, right?

                      I'm gonna have to say no...too much potential for confusion in that.

                        Humph. I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about...But whatever it may be, it has nothing whatsoever to do with #9 on this list. At all.

                            I still have all the old lists; you were on it in 2009 so this would be four. (Me too!)

                                OK, perhaps I should have been more clear. I have all the old lists since I've been doing it, which is 2009.
