Ilona Costa Bianchi ,'The Girl in Question'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I did one thank you note to everyone. I was working in a small office at that time, so I addressed the note to "Cathi, Marie, Eva, and Jeanne."
If it had been in my other office at MIT, I would have addressed it to "OER." Or sent an email to everyone.
I would do one thank you note to the group.
I am really dreading writing thank you notes. I mean, I love getting the gifts and I love thanking people. Also, one of my bridesladies has designed and printed the thank you cards we will be using so that's awesome. But I have epically bad handwriting. And it hurts to hand write. But, hey, GIFTS! (People have been crazy generous already. It's kind of blowing my mind.)
lisah, you can turn thank you notes into something fun.
After my first marriage, EM and I would go off for a couple hours every Sunday, sit in a cafe in North Beach and write notes while sipping wine or nibbling on treats. We did them all in about three weekends.
It's all about the reward system.
Yeah, I have no problem with the concept of them or anything. It's just a physically awkward task for me and kind of humiliating because I have such a terrible scrawl. But I really do like showing gratitude!
sj, in my office, the employee usually sends one e-mail to the group. So if TCG's office did something that warrants a thank you, TCG should send the e-mail. (Though baked goods are a nice touch, too.)

Okay, I got it. Rubber stamps making a rebus.

They gave us gift certificate for Crate & Barrel, a candle holder, and a cake.
Rubber stamps it is!
Skipping tons to wish my American Buffistae a Happy Thanksgiving! I miss hanging out here with you guys. Hope you have a wonderful holiday!
{{amyth}} I am so sorry. Wishes for comfort and strength to all your brother's loved ones. It is good to hear that SIL has a close family. It helps so much.
Shir! Go you with the making positive changes in the world! It is really inspiring.
Family is about to descend upon me so I may be scarcer than usual.
I have to ask a bit of advice from those of you that suffer from depression. My sister is having a really bad time of it right now. She has had problems with depression for decades, but this is the worst it has been in years. She hasn't even been to work in over a week. My cousin has been staying with her during the day to just be there.
They are messing with her meds trying to help, but it is bad. I think maybe she got out of whack because she has lost about 40 pounds and I am sure that affects the chemistry too. Her place of employment for the past 20 some years was recently sold too so big uncertainty in her life.
I am just feeling so completely helpless to do anything for her. I don't know what to say or do, and really I would do anything if it would help. Any advice would be appreciated.
