I am a little uncomfortable saying this, but I have seen a lot of thank you'd for gifts I would have donated to, but I never knew people were doing it. Is there some sort of list I have fallen off of? Or perhaps it is because I don't post as much? Anyhow, I would love to be included in these things.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Me too, Sophia
And my phone has reappeared. I blame the cats. Actually just Noodle, the brat.
Somebody should organize a basic list of emails -- I think the last two times, it was sort of spur of the moment, and off the top of your head, with people adding names ad hoc. I'll see what I can do this coming week.
Yeah, I think it's always ad hoc, which means not universal.
91 degrees - 59% humidity. it's already hot.
Me too, Sophia.
When my dad had his heart attack in Mexico, the staff not only made great food, they asked what he liked and cooked some things special. My mom still talks about it.
When I had kidney surgery at age 8, my cousin brought me a McDonald's cheeseburger and I was the happiest kid in the ward. I remember reading somewhere that studies have actually shown that people heal faster if they are given food with a little salt and fat in it - i.e. FLAVOR - because they eat more and have more calories to spend on getting better. The standard no-fat-no-salt-no-sugar hospital food diet was having the opposite of its intended effect because people just weren't eating enough.
There isn't an organized list--this last one just went by the Last Known Mass Mailing, and the only people I can say for sure that we knew needed to be added were ita ! and Scola, as they'd been part of the subject of the last list.
I would TOTALLY have included anyone who was left off, if I had, you know, done more than scan the actual list of email addresses at the time.
I'm sorry for anyone who's been left off the email lists - I know the last two times it's been a spur of the moment thing with as many email addresses as we could pull together off the top of our collective heads. (And there's no good way to go to Press and say "Everyone except these three people, send me your email addresses! Also those three people don't read this post!")

Same here. I thought we had a list somewhere organized a while back, but I don't know what happened to the plan.
