To anyone who has not been Spartacused, and would like to be, you might want to consider adding your information to the Buffista Master Mailing List. I can't promise mail, but it does make it easier for Spartacus to find you.

What Suzi said!

Thirded!

I too got a mysterioso belated non-Spartacan valentine. Is awesome in the extreme!

There was an lj friend who was stuck in major not dealing, and she kept getting more non-responsive, stopped posting, stopped answering her email, and finally deleted her journal. No one had thought to get her phone number, but one of us sent her mail, just a card, on the theory that it doesn't cost a lot for people online to blow smoke up your skirt--it's just pixels. But something tangible, in your hand, that says, we know you're hurting and we care.... She came back online, slowly, and has said it was holding the card in her hand, not necessarily reading it more than once, just holding it and looking at it was the thing that reconnected for her.

I would *pay* the postal service for what they do--as long as they dump the junk mail before they get to my box.

I love you, Beverly.

And am nodding in agreement.

This is why I love us. Why Bitches rocked with the blankets-as-proxy-hugs, and tiaras, and mystery packages with bonus chocolate, and why we still rock with mystery valentines and random cards, just because, and taking care of each other.

There's not another place like this, that I know of, and I love us.

Spartacus continues to do good. Something well-timed and much needed arrived today.

Huh, finally got to the post office & mailed a couple of things that have been waiting, but forgot to invoke Spartacus. Oh well, they're from Me, Recipients, so there!

Now I'm trying to picture the Spartacus invocation ritual.
