We've talked about this and I don't think anyone is organizing it so ....I'm going to get us started! I think the ornaments should be mainly handmade but if you saw something at a store that reminded you of that person you could pick that up too. We could all wait and open our packages together one night in December, an ornament postathon if you will. Or some other funn plan...I'm open to any and all suggestions. Participation is not an option*!!!!! Grinches, bah humbuggers, you know who you are;-) ....this will put you in the C'mas spirit.

I have created a new email just for this purpose. Please email OLbunnyfunn@aol.com with your sowal name and your real name and address.* I will draw names and send you your person!

*Lurkers need not apply! (not to be rude--we wouldn't know anything about you) 500 posts+ or you are new and chatty.( Beach Jacket comes to mind plus we already kind of know her)

Xigris is a miracle drug. If you have any interest in sepsis at all go to the website. I would worry about this more than flesh eating bacteria.:shock:
www.xigris.com

We're hoping and praying that Mom is in the 50% that it helps.

OK Gang, I'm back. I've been threatened by BB with castration if I don't get back on the board. And she was holding a dull plastic butter knife at the time.
Yes, it was pink!!!!!!!

I have not have time to go back an read any threads and ketchup on my what's been going on, but I'll try to do that later.

Right now I'm watching FSU get beat by VA Tech 20-15. So forgive me if I seem a little distracted.

Whats the scoop on the Ornament Exchange this year? Am I too late, too soon, to out of touch, outta the loop, etc?

I didn't get to do the Ornament exchange last year, only the 2007 Valentine and Easter.

If I'm not too late, let me know. I'm going to try to read back through the posts, but I'm not sure how much time I'll have.

Hope all is well or getting better. Miss you guys. Now that we're done with all the overtime, that went two months into overtime, maybe I'll have time to breath again.

Right now, I'm on to really important things. Like pouring another Frozen Margarita into my glass!
