*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)
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!

I usually don't chime in on controversy but I feel the need this time.
When I first found this board it was after Hurricane Dennis and Katrina had turned many lives upside down. I asked a couple of questions and received very good advice and information. I became intrigued with a few people named Sueshore, Kimmifunn, Jessifunn, Whiteyfunn and Smiling JOe. I soon began to live their lives with them through this board. I learned that Kimmifunn worked at Macy's in NYC, Miss Kitty lived in Dallas, Jessifunn lived with whoever would take her - JK!, Whiteyfunn lived at home and later moved to the city, and SJ was a mystery to most. As time went by, you could see the bonds beginning to form stronger and stronger with each trip to SoWal and also in between.
Kimmifunn lives an exciting life as a twenty something single female with it's ups and downs, that we all have helped with at some time or another. Kim, Jessica and Whitney met in SoWal as teenagers and grew up there forming a life long bond. You haven't lived until you've seen a funn fight online with incriminating pictures to boot!
Miss Kitty became the queen of the board and we must all obey.We have learned that Miss Kitty is the life of the party no matter where the party is. She lives life to it's fullest.
The board administrator "Daddy-O" has always been fair and just. One day out of the blue along came his better half - Tootsie. Sweet Tootsie. It wasn't long and Tootsie became a part of our SoWal family. Then around the first of the year a quiet ,kind of to herself, Allifunn came along. Recently divorced, she was still healing and used the board for companionship. We soon found out that AuntyAlys now known as Allifunn was Daddy-O's sister! I could go on and on about members who became my friends...
We have been through births, deaths, divorces, graduations, loss of beloved pets, holidays and everyday life together. I would never trade the board for one or two "sometimes your friend" friends. This year is when the board has really got going and we have soooo many regular posters. The key to being an active board member is to keep up with what's going on and sometimes I admit, it get's hectic![]()
Some of you know and some do not, what my beliefs are and how I cherish the Word of God. So I'll close with this -
Proverbs 18:24 (New King James Version)
24 A man who has friends must himself be friendly....
I love you all![]()

WELL SAID...and a tear in my eye!!!!!
I heart you girl!!!!Three fishermen were fishing when they came upon a mermaid, the mermaid offered them one wish each so the the first fisherman said: "double my I.Q"..so the the mermaid did it and he started reciting Shakespeare.
Then the second fisherman said" "Triple my I.Q."..and sure enough the mermaid did it and amazingly he started doing math problems he didn't know existed. The third fisherman was so impressed that he asked the mermaid to quadruple his I.Q and the mermaid said: "Are you sure about that? It will change your whole life!"..the fisherman said yes so the mermaid turned him into a woman.
how true is this?????
BC - you just made me cry. what a sweet story of sowal. all those that end up as mofo wenches are biches on wheels with good hearts and who never ever complain when someone (OL) is doing something very special for the rest of us - like organize this ornament exchange.Toots...you are wonderful, as always!!!
OL - you are great for taking the initiative. whatever you say my little pancake. why not make it interesting and say that you MUST have 500 posts, and then we can get the young wenches sweating it out over the next few days posting their tits off. I think that would be wonderful entertainmnet, and kind of an initiation of sorts. and if they don't make it, well, then they have to send ornaments to everyone on the list...

I'm in... can I buy a nice ornament instead of make one? I love making them but not sure if and when I'll be able to get around to it. who knows...

Okay---Update!!
You may choose to buy an ornament or make an ornament for your secret sowaller. This should not cause stress.
Funn only. :clap_1: There are alot of really cute and unusual ornaments out there. When I'm at the beach I always buy an ornament even though it's summer time. My favorite is a cute little starfish santa.
You have until this Friday to decide. I'll be drawing names and then emailing everyone with their secret sowaller's info.
Lastly, I need your input. What should our "mail by" date be? And should we set a date and open our packages on a certain night? Maybe the Secret Sowaller's online Soiree?

OL....thanks for taking the time to organize this swap. I had been thinking about how much I enjoy the people on this board even though I am not frequent poster. Grayt ideas and funn people. Why don't you choose a date to mail the ornament, and we will abide. I think the idea of a online ornament opening is the way to go. Maybe post pics for those able to do that.

What about having Spidey help you make one? You know the kind you make with applesauce and cinnamon and then bake? Something like that. I don't want anyone to stress over this. It has to be funn. I know that I will love what ever is sent to me because that person was thinking of me when they made it. I won't say you have to though.I want one of these!!!!!
Don't know about the dates....hmmmm...maybe by the 9th? Too soon? But definitely an online Soiree...smokin', drinkin', cussin' for sure.Make it late...I am working a wedding that night...you don't want to miss my boobies do you.......
OH...wait that was another time and another place.....:roll:FunnChef - AlisonCooks.com
Oh Tootsie, I couldn't be any lighter if I were filled with helium. I am a chronic and incurable smart-a$$. You expressed my point exactly about this thread. It should be intended for anyone who truly wants to participate. Old and new. If you felt threatened by my post, I do apologize from the bottom of my heart.Liv'smom...you are a doll...hang in there...please don't let these SoWal wenches chase you away!
You notice I said those and not us....
I guess I am one too...but I am one of the good ones....:funn: :funn: :funn:Edited

Although your boobies are very nice, I think Toots might not be able to take it a second time!!
I thought the 9th for mailing only. Heck I dunno...y'all just tell me and I'll get it in the mail!! This is sooooo funn!

I think the Dec.9th would be a good "mail by" date. Then we can plan the party a week or so later. I'm thinking a week night might be best because all the parties and such going on during the weekend. As always I'm flexible.

I don't know where KDW or Tootsie are, but I know they will want in! Cork, Franny and IBD too, I suspect!OK I am here, Little IBD has the bug.![]()
I already have my IDEA!!!! Now I just need my SoWal, MOFO Wenches name....:clap_1:
I didn't write that for me. I wrote that for anyone who might want to be a part of things, but feels intimidated by the intimacy on this board. The friendship and closeness that you all feel is a wonderful thing, but it could be a little intimidating to someone new. I'm just saying that if you are going to organize something on a public board, you shouldn't post exclusions. Do it through a private message if there are people you don't want to include. I'm not trying to bash anyone, just stand up for people who may not feel like they have a voice.
Livs mom, I understand where you are coming from. You have been posting alot lately and unless you have nothing else to do it takes a while to post a bunch. I hope you join in our funn, we all are alike in alot of ways. SASSY!!!

anyone know of a good website that give instructions for making ornaments? i have no creativity at all !!!

Family Fun magazine has some great, easy ideas. Look at ornaments when you go in stores. Good ideas are "borrowed" from someone else.
