K. I signed up. Holiday was taken as a user name - so I'm Holiday SW.
I'm excited. I'll have fun later making my wish list!

I'm tentatively in, but lemme get a job and see if I have any income rolling in. Looks like K will be out of town on Valentine's Day this year (le sigh) so this might be all the Valentine's Day loving I get!

I thought Elfster had a ton of different exchanges with different people. :shrug:

^^ yeah it's a whole database of people using elfster.
I'm in!
I think there should be a postcount minimum for this exchange, like around 500 or so. My SS who completely bailed on me and never came back to stripperweb only had 200 posts but was very prolific in the weeks prior to the signing up. (at least, to the best of my knowledge)
Also, I'm wondering if maybe the exchange date could be earlier so people actually get their presents on/near Valentines day? I will personally allow at least a week this time for shipping, but for procrastinators...

Question: We're putting real full names, right?

That's not a bad idea. It sucks for our newbies, but I felt so bad for those who participated in SS and didn't get a gift. And I'm not sure if changing the date would even help. Procrastinators are gonna procrastinate, right? :shrug: Hopefully, everyone just takes care of business so we can all have a great SW V-Day experience.

I guess I can see your point since you've been burned in the past. I will hold off on signing up until a general consensus is reached. :'(

Youre right. I was thinking names were chosen per exchange ya know? Like there was someone on the SW exchange called 'Holiday' already..... but that makes more sense. Duh.

I just have a serious SW addiction, I come on twice a day as I am usually going to bed just as you are all getting up so I have to get up early the next day to see what you have all been up to, sad I know. Yeah another post to add to my collection :).

i think i'll sign up for this one. i love buying fun holiday themed presents! valentines day is fun to shop for :P
i agree, though, that newbies shouldnt be allowed to join in. no offense to them, but i think it'll be more fun if it's people who at least somewhat "know" each other.
do i need to put my address now? im not really sure how this works.

that makes me more comfortable to joining in if the post count has to be at least 500 and a well known poster......hopefully i am known as a well known poster?!?!!? lol

You can get things delievered to a FedEx store and pick it up there, if you are uncomfortable giving out your home address.

I signed up, then read the thought of a postcount.
Should I revoke?
so would it be safe to say that the aussies will be given either NZ / AUST posting addresses? I think that it would work out a bit more fair on both parts!

I agree with this too. Mostly because I don't want my address given out to somebody that hasn't been here that long. For some reason it feels safer if my address ends up with somebody that's been on SW a while.

with <50 postcount, I respectfully ask that you do. No offense, of course, im just super paranoid now since my last SS bailed and never returned.
With a higher postcount and/OR a longer time spent on here, people are far more accountable. If you have less than 500 posts it would be all too easy to not meet the commitment for whatever reason, and then ditch the old account and just make a new one.
Now, I would be okay with someone that I've met in person or has been here for a significant amount of time even if they didn't meet the minimum postcount, however.

TO ALL THE AUSSIES
I already asked the questions you asked ... YES you can sign up even tho' it is predominately focused for USA/Canada... it is also preferable if you do NOT send a gift certificate or card with cash in it or anything along those lines even tho' it isn't rude.
I'm in.
I'm under my stage name ... Vanessa Stacy.

I'm so happy so many people are interested!!
Aussies/Kiwis: Is it ok for me to keep you guys in you own pool? That way no one has to wait a month to see if their gift shows up and all. So the more of you that sign up, the better!
I think it would make everyone more comfortable if it was only well known posters involved. Lots of us have had stalker issues and not fun stuff like that. Stick around and you'll be able to participate in the next one! :P
TOO: That house has been on the market for ages! It made some record for being the most expensive house in Southern AZ, I believe. But, I'll accept.

I'm an Aussie too and want to join but completely understand the minimum of 500 post thing so am going to wait till the next one. So all you girlies had better sign up again for the next one so I have somebody to play with!!

Alright, bumped the send by date to the 7th. I think everyone would like their presents as close to the 14th as possible, so please try and ship accordingly.
And if anyone flakes, I'll be really sad. :'(

Seriously. I was in Miami last week and a customer that parked inside the club's parking garage had one. If I could have figured out how to steal it without being caught I would have. I *need* horsepower!

We can't opt-ed out once we are signed up huh?
I only ask as it isn't going to be too much of a secret if only three of us Southern Hemisphere members are on board... I was kinda hoping to send someone in the Northern Hemisphere something and vice versa.
BTW, standard postage for international is usually is 10-14 business days from my experience.

Sweetheart, would I ever offer you anything less?
The house strikes me as overpriced at USD$20 million, though. One is the remote hillside location; two is the general value of land there (not that high compared to LA, Miami or even Vegas) and three, 25,000 square feet with all the glass they have used to improve the view. The a/c bill for Tucson will be about the same as the cost of cooling an average NFL stadium.
On the other hand, if a bunch of girls wanted to live there together, I imagine we could get an NBC pilot out of that with no problem at all. :)
