        I have considered changing my name....I was thinking of "Bookish" at one point. (There is another user listed with bookish in their name but their last visit to the site was 15 years ago...) Or possibly just my actual first name (which I do use on some other sites).

            Since you apparently escaped from a bookstore, shall we rename you Overdue Book? Of course that might imply you worked at a library.

              • Received EricKei's card today.
                Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.

                  Hey Pixel, how is the Canadian Mail strike going?
                  I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

                  • Getting there...a few of Eric's and one of Ironclad's aren't in, and one person hasn't reported in at all (leaving out the Canadian...though google suggests their postal strike ended December 17th but I don't know how backed up things would have been).

                    • To be fair to Dreamstalker, it looks like her last time on the board at all was 18 Dec so I'm assuming she's busy with Christmas/New Year foibles* and isn't just avoiding us plebs

                      • Yeah, I got busy for awhile...not all work.

                        I've got cards from:

                        Android Kaeli
                        Kit-Ginevra
                        Taxguykarl
                        Ironclad Alibi

                        depechemodefan
                        BSE

                        EDIT: I got Irv's card too; that envelope got stuck in with my mom's mail (I think she got glitter-bombed when opening it...hee)

                        • Canada Post strike is over but they are still wading through a mountain of undelivered mail, so ... no cards so far.

                          My own cards will go out in the mail in a few days; sadly, there will be no special stamps on them. Maybe next year ....

                              How about "Remaindered"?

                              Anyhow, got EricKei's card today

                                Did you get Ironclad's?



                                I don't think I said, I got Eric's card (must have come on New Year's Eve, but I didn't check the mail until last night).

                                Canada aside, we're missing one Ironclad and four Eric.
