At time of writing it's -t and me, and the more the merrier. Natter is the best place to find me, and I will make sure I have the relevant posts marked for easy retrieval.
Due to lack of...let's say brain and be done with it...anyway: Although the Lurker Call thread was opened, it was not announced. So it's been a pretty quiet October up in there, but it's going to be open for a couple weeks longer than usual. Come on by, read the news, write the news.
Oh, and...sorry!

I AM SO LATE!!!
PEOPLE! It is time, really two or three weeks, late, BUT NOW, now is the time - time for the Annual Buffista (and lurker) Gift Exchange Not Specific To Any Belief System Except Awesomeness - ABalGENSTABSEA for short (this year, again, I like to change it up).
If you want to participate, email me at b . org . msbelle @ gmail . com (no spaces) and I will send you an invite from elfster. If you are not already a member at elfster, you will need to sign up - DO NOT FORGET TO PUT IN YOUR BOARD NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.
Since I am so late getting started, let's say that Sign-up deadline is 11/13 Drawing names (done electronically - you cannot have who you had last year) will be 11/15 Gift Giving Deadline as always is 12/31 - so plenty of time.
And as I do every year I encourage people to communicate or gift multiple times (I am always willing to send items from my home on behalf of others - and I know of other like-minded b.orgers) and generally mess with your giftee. Otherwise it is just me doing that and it ruins it. This exchange is as much about contact and surprise as it is about the gifts - notes, handmade items, inexpensive things are ENCOURAGED - There is no minimum you need to feel obligated to spend.
You should be able to sign up on your own here: [link]
And if everyone could email me who you have drawn the last couple of years, I can block you from re-drawing those same people.
ONLY 2 days left to get in on ABalGENSTABSEA (the gift exchange) - We are at 19 21 participants, I would like to break 25 this year. Click on the link 2 posts above to join up.
Well NOW you have done it! You have waited 'til the last day to sign up for the gift exchange. We are at 24!! Only 1 person away from the goal. Goals were meant to be exceeded though, so my sights are now set higher.
3 posts up there is a link to click on and get signed up. It is all very simple. I am available to answer questions, help out, and pinch hit if things become too stressy.
Gift Exchange Draw has occurred. If anyone has any issues with their draw, please email me asap and we can get it resolved.
If anyone cannot see their draw's address, please email me, asap or anonymously message your draw within elfster.
And finally, if anyone has any problems as this goes on or if you feel overwhelmed, please please please just email me and rescue elves with jump in.
