Hi all! I've been lurking in this thread. I have one pen pal here (whose card brightened my whole day!) and am interested in others. I know I am the most annoying VFer. If anyone would like to be my pen pal despite my cranky curmudgeonlyness, please shoot me a PM! We'll exchange addresses.

This is kind of a weird time for me as I have cataract surgery next week. (And the second eye two weeks later.) To be honest, I am petrified. I know it is a very common procedure and and uncommonly successful surgery, but I am scared all the same.

Short notes and cards would be great! I also love post cards, though they tend to get lost in the mail.

If you're talking about getting something from one person and sending to another, that could be fun. What happens if people drop out though?

Sorry, I haven’t been checking VF the last few days. Life is kicking me in the cajones. i just realized I left the “round” out of round robin exchange in my previous post. Oopsie.

As to the round robin, I’m thinking a set group. Person 1 sends a note to person 2 who adds her own note, then sends both to person 3. She adds her note and sends all to person 4, and so on. When it comes back around to the first person she removes her first note and adds a new one. I wasn’t thinking of it instead of a one-on-one exchange, but in addition to.

Gams, that’s excellent!

VVFer, I’ve never been tempted to block your posts like I have a couple of people, so I’m afraid you don’t quite get the tinfoil hat for the most annoying VVFer. I am right, aren’t I - bronze, silver, gold, tinfoil?

I hate to say this, but if nothing else I would like to have some contact info to find out where people are gathering if VF tanks.

In a round robin maybe each participant could have the contact info for the next 2 people in case someone dropped out. Or we could contact each other thru VF.

Is it a surprise who contacts you? Or do we know?

I've never participated in a Round Robin. And, didn't quite understand what it was exactly. But, I would be interested in trying that, too!

Well, my pen pal friends, I was writing my notes and getting them ready to mail when one of my cats suddenly (and without warning) decided to become affectionate. Which involves walking all over whatever I am writing and putting his butt in my face.

So, if you get the wrong note or the address is off - don't blame me.

BTW, my notes will come for a smoke-free but cat full home.
