I'll gather the Christmas card list!
Either PM or e-mail me with your name, address, and e-mail address. I'll need your e-mail address so that I can more easily send the list off to everyone at the same time and so that I can attach the list as a document. Please confirm if you can open a Microsoft Office Products 2003 document on your computer, either in Word or Excel. If not, let me know what format you need. Woohoo!! Merry Christmas!! |

| Will this include that other place of sheepie lovers, OES-L, as well?
And a designation of from where everyone is, and their username if they are from the forum? It was a lot of fun last year... now I have to decide what kind of card for this year  hmmmmm.... |
I don't participate in the OES-L list. I'm registered but have never posted. Most of the time I just skim through the e-mails and trash them. 
I'm including on the list: name/address, forum name, pets' names. I'm asking for e-mail addresses so that I can send it easier, but I don't think everyone will want everyone else to know their e-mail addresses, so I'll exclude that info from the list. Any other suggestions? I'm open to any and all! |
| A mention could be made in the upcoming oes.org newsletter (see post about it here:
http://forum.oes.org/viewtopic.php?t=10155 I don't know how much interest that might generate for the exchange list, it might grow out of control, or 3 people might respond, I have no idea. Whattaya think? |
| Welllllll, I didn't even know that the other list existed soooooo I guess my loyalty lies with oes.org of course it would be interesting to meet NEW people....... I just don't know............ We don't want a HUGE list.......... I'll go with the majority!
My only request is that USERNAMES be included this year so I know who I'm sending cards too  |
| Is it possibly to format everyone addresses on mailing labels? Then all we have to do it print it off. |
| Yes, the list will be in 2 parts. One part will list the names/addresses, forum names, pets names. The other part will be set up for labels.
What kind of circulation does the newsletter from oes.org have, Ron? Just here on the forum, or does it also go to OES-L? I could also scan a hard copy of the document so that it goes into a PDF format, for those who don't have MS Office on their computers. Of course, they would have to have Adobe Acrobat. Keep 'em coming!! |
Is it CHRISTMAS YET????????????????? |
Yeah... is it possible to have those from "other" lists mentioned somewhere by their name because I think I'd only like to participate in giving cards to people here. This is mostly because I like knowing who I am getting these cards from. 
My husband told me he's going to be so sad that he won't be here to see the cards in the mail. I think I'll have to mail all of them to him in Iraq since he's the one who enjoys them the most! Just mentioning it makes me sad  |

Just mentioning it makes me sad I think you should include your husbands Iraq address on the list so we can send cards directly to him!!!!!!!!!!! It's the least we can do  |
| For those that want it, I'll definitely do that. He would absolutely LOVE it. He won't have address for a long time though (but will by Thanksgiving I'm sure). |

I would love to send to him and so many others. anysoldier.com |
| I also think we need to include Shug's (Kaye's) husband in the addresses as well. |

Yup! |
| This sounds great. I would prefer just the oes.org - I'm just getting to know you all! Definitely add family in the military, and facilities. They need good mail the most.
I have lots of pets - should we include all, or just the sheepies in our list? I have so far gathered to include: your name, your forum name, email address, mailing address and preference (word, excel,etc.) Is that everything? And, when do you want us to start emailing the info? I'm excited, can't you tell!!  |
Quote: I have lots of pets - should we include all, or just the sheepies in our list?
people did both last year we only had a pic of our OES, but that's because we had trouble getting both dogs AND cats in the picture!! many people included a beautiful picture of their entire family |
| Dawn, you can PM me with your info any time you want! The list is in progress! |
| This is great! I have to set up a photographer this year (maybe my father inlaw as he's the only one in the family with patience and takes good pictures).
Yes, definitely include Lil J's Dad and Kaye's hubby! This will be great and make one big scrapbook for me! |
I'm so excited!!!!!     |
What a wonderful idea! I wasn't around here last year so it's new to me. Can't wait! I'll send off a PM with my info now.
 |
| Ooops. I don't have an address!! We're building a new house and don't really know our new address yet.
Count me in for next year! |
| The list is coming along nicely! So far there are 18 names on it. Keep 'em coming! Due to the international addresses, I'm targeting to issue the list no later than November 1.
As for Jo's husband's and Kaye's husband's addresses, I need to hear directly from them with the addresses for inclusion. If people give me all their pets' names, I'm including them. Otherwise, I'm just listing the sheepies. What fun!! |
| Bump.
Just don't want people to forget! |
| Oops...just saw the answer to what I had posted! I'll send you my info. |
| Nice! The list is at 25 names. Keep 'em coming!! |
| WOOHOO!!! YAHZOOTIE!!!!!!!! |
| Bump again!!
We now have 28 names on the list. I'm so psyched! This is gonna be WAY cool, as my daughter would say! |
| Well, let's keep the post at the top of the list |
| Bump, bump, bump! 31 and growing!! Heard back from Katie, who did the list last year. We agreed that I'll continue to do the list for oes.org and if she wants, she'll do a list for the OES-L people. Keep 'em coming!! |
| I bet more people will be interested once it gets closer to Christmas. *crosses fingers* |
| Please be advised that because of the international addresses, I'm planning to issue the list by November 1.
Ho-Ho-Ho!! Happy Hannukah!! Happy Kwanzaa!! (Did I miss anything??) |
| Happy Festivus! |
| A Festivus for the rest of us . . . |
| Don't forget KWANZA AND CHANUKA |
I would also prefer to receive only OES.org names - I don't have a lot of time so I can only send cards to the people and furballs that I know and love  .
I think it would be great to have Mr J's address in Iraq - I'll definitely make time to send cards to the men and women who are serving our country! |

Now we will begin the airing of grievances. |
Paula O. wrote: Ron wrote: Happy Festivus! Now we will begin the airing of grievances. And the feats of strength. Ron, who will you be wrestling? |
| Thank You to those interested in sending Mr. J a card! I told him last night and he was so excited. He was like, Really??? He is NOT a cheese AT ALL, but he would definitely put these cards wherever he can (room/office). He was sad that I forgot to put his name on the mailing list (just had my name and Yuki). |
| No problem, Jo! Just give me his address when you can. Do you think you'll have it by November 1? |
| Chris, have you heard from Kaye about Fletcher's address? Want me to PM her? |
| I really have no idea ...and neither does he. If it comes out late, then that's okay. I'll just ask you to add his name to the address I gave you for AK, and I'll send them to him. That way he doesn't get mad at me again this year because it's just "To" ...yuki and me. If anyone is still interested when I do get it, I could PM his address. |
| For my first Feat of Strength, I will wrestle Lil J. |
| Paula, no I haven't heard from Kaye. If you'd like to follow up with her, that would be great!
Jo, no problem with Mr. J's address. If you don't get one for him by Nov 1, I'll just include his name with yours. Ron, and you KNOW lil J will win!! |

As long as you could also handle Yuki sticking her butt in your face in an attempt to stop it. Beware though.. lately, she smells like rotten fish. |
Joahaeyo wrote: Beware though.. lately, she smells like rotten fish. Is it an anal gland thing? Ask the groomer to express the anal glands for you. Or you could ask Yuki's vet, but s/he'll probably be a lot more expensive than the groomer! |
| No anal gland problems ...just change of food. It stinks up the entire room. The vet double checked the other day when we brought her in b/c we also though she had worms (she didn't). |
| *BUMP* |
| *BUMP* |
| **BUMP BUMP**
34 names so far! |
| Sorry to be a pain, but I don't want anyone to forget or regret they didn't get on the list, so . . .
**BUMP BUMP BUMP** |
| Woo-hoo! Now we're at 35 names!!
BUMP!! |
| Thanks for coordinating the list, Chris. I have too much on my plate right now. Wedding #5 this year is this weekend, and I'm in it.  (there are 2 more left this year) And I'm going to Bermuda....again...this Saturday. (on a cruise ship) I wish Duds could come. ~Katie. |
| Have fun on your trip Katie! |
| Bump Woo Hoo, this is so exciting, I missed out on last year |
| Have fun on your trip, Katie! Glad to help with this project. Actually, once everything is set up, it's relatively easy to keep it going. And what fun, imagining all the cards I'll get!! |
Have fun on your cruise Katie! Wow -you are addicted to Bermuda, huh?  |
| Keep 'em coming!! The list is now at 38!! |
| WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really hate to have my picture taken. But Doug and I have never had a profession pic done. Hmmmmmmmmmmm might be fun, if I could make sure that I was mostly covered in DOG!!!!!!!!!! |

| As you all know, I am the only member here without a dog. So my cards will feature a picture of Bob the Wonder Pony on the front. I'm going to color copy 4 different pics so everyone won't get the same one.
I am really looking forward to the card exchange!!!!! Anybody know how much postage will be to our overseas friends? |
| $.60 for most countries from the USA.
I am looking forward to getting a picture of Bob the Wonder Pony! |
| No pic card from us. Sorry guys, but I'm too traditional. I like pretty cards with angels and madonnas or santas or something. Are we up to 40 eyt? Wow, I'm gonna have to buy a few packs of cards this year!!! |
