Well, since nobody else started a thread so far...

Anyone in?  ??? Not sure if I'll be able to make it this year... :-\\

In case you want to send me a card: I HAVE MOVED. Please PM me if you want my new address.

Well done on starting this thread.  I meant to start it several times but got distracted reading other threads.

Anyone else moved in the past year and not told us?

OK, so I was fiddling around somewhat on the Hallmark site...and then I thought 'Oh, what the heck..Let's order some cards'.  :D

So maybe...Santa's got a little surprise for you after all! ::)

So far I've sent one...and am awaiting my first received card.

For those who still have my address, it's still the same; I have not moved.

I would love to, but I don't have the money this year.  Things are tight with paying for Sarah's broken leg.  I really need to get insurance.

Thanks, Henk.  Thankfully the bills are paid...just not much left for extras this year.  :)

thanks for starting this thread Henk. Yesterday, I received a lovely Christmas card from karen and the family. thanks karen & I'll be mailing cards out next week.

I got one from Karen as well.  It was adorable.  Thanks again, Karen.

Mine are done...I just have to go get stamps.

Thank you for the card Karen!  It was great, and the girls were amazed by the postage stamp, not our typical US stamp O0

Got a card from Gis today as well.  Thanks!  :)

Got a card from Gis today as well.  Thanks!  :)
me too, from Gis and "himself" Ian
thanks Gis

I have already sent out one so far...but I will write out the rest of them this week and hopefully get them all sent in the mail by the end of the week. I was going to do it this past weekend, but something unexpected came up, so I've had to adjust my life accordingly.

Glad to hear my little cards are surviving the journey

I thought it was the cutest little card. I love it.

BTW, you haven't moved since last year, have you?

No I haven't moved.  Not sure why people think I have - you're the second person to ask me that.  Moving from the US was enough of a stress!

Doesn't anybody else want a card from me? :( :\'(


Or even worse: doesn't anybody else want to send me a card?  ??? Cuz not a lot of people have asked for my new address.

Awww sowwy Patty. :( Should've said 'Two MORE people still like me'. ;)

I would love to, but I don't have the money this year.  Things are tight with paying for Sarah's broken leg.  I really need to get insurance.


I have no problem with you taking the money you would've spent on a card and postage and putting it towards Sarah's gift.....next year however  :P  ;)

I still like you Henk...it might be late but send me that new address I hope to get the cards done this weekend.....


btw.... I have a bad habit of buying new cards every year but I never finish the box from the previous yr. I have cards that go back about 5-10 yrs....this year I'm only sending cards I have in my supply kit.  If I run out ya ain't getting one!  ;D    You may get the same card I sent you last year or the year before.... you're gonna like the card you get and you're gonna laugh at my card even if you've seen it before because dammit I put a lot of work into selecting the cards I only bought the ones that made me laugh out loud.  Some of you might not get a funny card because I have few of those left too.... and, some of you are gonna get a card with a little black kid on it because I thought it was cute then realized most of my friends aren't black  ;D ;D ;D


um.... yeah I think that's it  :D



btw I still use the PO Box and will until I move to La or the bldg burns down.....the second is likely to happen before the first  ::)

I usually go through 3 boxes of cards. I used to get a couple of different ones and try to mix and match and then I asked myself why? I just get 3 boxes of the same now. I also NEVER get any that say "Merry Christmas"-NOT because of the so-called "war on Christmas" but because I send these out to not only my Christian family/friends, but also my Jewish family/friends, my Pagan family/friends, etc. etc.  I always have a few left over but I never use ones from previous years.


BTW Henk, you can give me your address. I may actually get to my cards before the first of the new year.  :D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I tend to mix the Cards... I get a batch of Merry Christmas cards for those I know who celebrate christmas and happy holiday cards for those who I know don't...... this year I may not be that diligent.

As do I. Last year I sent out "penguin" cards to everyone, but I barely used half the box. So this year I decided to send out a few more of those, as well as a couple other kinds, that way I have more than one design to choose from. And I still have some remaining penguin cards that I just might send out again next year.

I have no problem with you taking the money you would've spent on a card and postage and putting it towards Sarah's gift.....next year however  :P  ;)

I hope you get renters insurance first...


tried....with several different companies....most turned me down because.....get this.... I live in a wildfire area  ::) 

the only one that said yes was hella expensive. 

OK... so the cards have been written. (Well, actually... I didn't write the cards this time. I had them printed. :P)

Will post them tomorrow (which means they probably won't arrive until, oh I don't know...the middle of March! ;D)

I'll also be posting some to people that have not (yet) posted in this here thread. Hope they'll be (pleasantly) surprised. (FTR: I'm not expecting anything in return. Or maybe just karma, if you can spare it)

Yes yes...cards are out! :) So some of you got something to look forward to!

My cards are all out too!  I just hope they get to ya'll on time...

My cards are all out too!  I just hope they get to ya'll on time...

Go cards from nally and Cat and Carlos.   :)  Thank you

I received yours yesterday too. As well as one from HotStuff Krissy.

That's fine; when they get here, they get here...
huge mistake, I think your card failed to get mailed, sending it 1st thing tomorrow. sorry Jeff  :-[

Got cards form Paco and karen today. Thanks! :)

Unfortunately, karen's card (and envelope) had been damaged (only slightly), so Royal Mail had them wrapped in a sealed bag.

I guess Henk and Paco are the closest penguins,  in the distance sense  ::)

Only a driving day and we'd meet each other. Maybe one or two States of the USA  8)

I'm glad the mail worked as due Henk  ;) one more year

Got Q and Effie's card and Badfingerfan (Mike)'s cards today.  Thank you.  Got Henk's card a couple days ago.  Thank you too.  I think that is all the penguins.  My brain is pretty much mush lately and I'm lucky to be able to hold semi-intelligent conversation at all anymore.

Well he is better, it seems like we keep passing this virus back and forth.  It's my turn this week, apparently.  I think I need a full-body transplant.  Hoping this is the last round of illness in this household, but I'm not holding my breath.

Well, after four years peering at Patty, I have learnt to borrow and lend some words here and there.  ;)
Just enough to cast a spell in a xmas card, and make this ma'am I love so, to smile up-stairs, indoors , as drawing a penguin seamermar in the tug's wheelhouse .  :)

Beautiful card and still better this handwriting penguin at rudder  that touched me now and forever.

Thanks Patty and James.

I hope illness will continue its way beyond ocean and let you in peace for at least yet another year

But to seriously say, I really appreciate your efforts to speak some Spanish words to a very Spanish friend  :)

Feliz Navidad, prospero ano y felicidad?   :D


Pay attention Q, when you are writing to a Spaniard for Spanish is the solo language that has got a Ñ in the alphabet, and you mustn't forget it.

Año is year but ano is asshole, so let my butts in peace and all the prosperity for the next year dear  ;) ;D

I guess your keyboard ain't got this important letter, but coincidence disgusts sight sometimes  ::)

In spite of flop, I love Feliciano, and your Feliz Navidad above all  :-*

You could try ALT + 0241. 

You have to keep the ALT key down and use the number pad. If it doesn't work-try to put the number lock on.

I've already got a groovy butt, and haven't much room for a donkey at my flat.  I hope you dont have any reason for casting me off as an obnoxious person. So I suppose you want me in the last suggestion  :D

Well it isn't a Christmass wish but a Valentin one, in any case you're welcome Q  :P

Valentine's is about love. Getting a piece of ass doesn't require love be a part of it.... I stand by my original post  :P

buff !!  It seems to be too harsh  making of me a learned pal.
But in patience and hope we can get it right.

Then I take the last one for the next Año  ;)

And it seems because I was a slacker around here, people sent cards to my old address in NY. :(

I do have a friend who is collecting our mail - we put in 2 changes of address: one to her place, then when we left there, to our new address, but it looks as if usps hasn't picked up the secondary address. I need to go to the post office then.

Thank you to those I received cards from that got my Kentucky address.
I need to update y'all with it.

Many happy returns to everyone!

I got a card from Paco today....well it probably came a couple of days ago but I just went to post office today.

Are you one of these days gonna tear the enveloppe up and take a peek at what is hidden in ?

I forgot what I wrote down this time Q, if you don't mind let me know it by a pm, please  :-*

Well, after four years peering at Patty, I have learnt to borrow and lend some words here and there.  ;)
Just enough to cast a spell in a xmas card, and make this ma'am I love so, to smile up-stairs, indoors , as drawing a penguin seamermar in the tug's wheelhouse .  :)

I'm so glad that you could tell what my drawing was supposed to be.  My artwork leaves alot to be desired. 

see mine was from Jose too.... ya just gotta get thru all those Feliz Navidads to get the other two well wishes.  ;D


I probably should have looked up the lyrics online and wrote those in the card.  I can't hear distinctively enough to sound out anything he sang in that song (in Spanish) other the Feliz Navidad. 

This year I actually tried to broaden my Christmas wishes, I actually found several cards written in a language that looked like Dutch (although it could have been Danish) I'm hoping it said something nice  :-[ (and Henk could read it.)  Don't know where I got the cards, they were in amongst all the rest of my cards...  :-\\ :-\\

Your will is far and away beyond your skills Patty.

And that's way much more than what I expect in a friend.

Thanks again and let keep it like this girl.

If you wanna wade through other languages,

Tradukka can help to work thoughts out

but you have to read and hear a lot to improve your proficiency as I've been doing so far.
I need to read as I listen to anything that comes to me, if I wanna understand a bit. Only time can improve your ears in decoding what you hear.

You just broadened your horizons Patty, now you need to enjoy other ways to make it, that's all.

And it seems because I was a slacker around here, people sent cards to my old address in NY. :(

I do have a friend who is collecting our mail - we put in 2 changes of address: one to her place, then when we left there, to our new address, but it looks as if usps hasn't picked up the secondary address. I need to go to the post office then.

Thank you to those I received cards from that got my Kentucky address.
I need to update y'all with it.

Many happy returns to everyone!

I ALMOST sent it to NY but a little birdie (or is that a little penguin  ;) ) told me your new address.



Cat

Are you one of these days gonna tear the enveloppe up and take a peek at what is hidden in ?

I forgot what I wrote down this time Q, if you don't mind let me know it by a pm, please  :-*


I will tell you tomorrow Paco. I had a lot of stuff to bring in yesterday so I left my mail in my car.  But I did read the card while at the post office... I won't be going to my car today so if I forget just remind me tomorrow and I'll do then.

It's all good.
She called to tell me she has it there, so I will have it once she gets a large enough pile to send to me! 8)

Thank you Dad ;)

Got a lovely card from Ash yesterday. :) The postmark read the 22nd of December, so it's definitely not your fault it was late. ;)

I can't karma you right now, but I'm sure someone else will cover that for me.

Actually, it is!  I put yours and Karen's cards in my glove compartment of my car about 10 days prior to that.  I meant to go and buy some international stamps but forgot.  :(  I discovered them in there the morning of the 22nd.  :-[
