Jaydaan,
I just googled Vernon, BC. I had assumed it was coastal. You are seriously in East Cornflake. What happens in Vernon?

LoL
We are about 4-5 hours from the West Coast. Right in the middle of the mountains.
Vernon is pretty quiet, just the way we like it. We are in the Valley, surrounded with mountians. Funny, we call them hills now...
Even on the rainy gloomy days, my walk to work makes me realized how pretty this city really is. We are a 10-15 min drive from several lakes, including the one that is hiding our lake monster, Ogopgo.
We are big enough to have some good concerts and festivals, and small enough to be laid back and carefree. More people own boats, then houses, so a study last year tells us. We are about 20 mins away from Silver Star Ski resort, and about 45 mins away from Big White.
Lots to do, if you care to. Otherwise, sit on your deck with your neighbours and drink a beer. :)

This post is just a reminder for those interested to send Jaydaan their infos before the drawing of names on the 15th. :)

I was about to post a reminder.. but Tulip did that already for me. LOL
24 hours left to get you names to me. Tomorrow I will organize who can send to where, and draw names.
PS I have worked 6 days straight, have a trade show all day today, and have a freaking cold. Do not expect your name info too early tomorrow :)

I thought about making a sock puppet with a similar looking handle to Jaydaan and then posting here all the names of the people and who they were matched to. I thought it might be funny to see everyone's reactions... I am avoiding other work.

Thanks for the reminder

What do you expect, it's November, and you spend 6 days in those scandalous nighties. ;)

LoL not the nighties... in the beer store. But todays trade show was my Wiccan stuff and nighties, get this the Witch stuff sold 3-1 to the lingerie/toys.

Halloween hangover? Delaware residents?

I got my info in late, as I was on the road and missed the posting. I hope I'm not too late...

Brian, not too late.. but I need more info for your secret santa sender. Please send me your likes/ dislikes . Thanks

Going to have my breakfast, wake up and then start sorting names/locations. I will check my pms one more time beofre I draw names, so latecomers have about 2 hours left....

That made me chuckle...

Don't forget to wear the sorting hat. ;)

Okies.... check your messages... names have been drawn, and messages have been copied and sent to your senders.

Here's hoping I did right. I had one small hiccup, but was able to smooth it out.. lol
If anyone got over seas, when they can not afford the extra shipping, please contact me. I *will* make it work. I will personally add the extra $$ to a PayPal account so you can send your parcels. :) (within reason of course)

I did not give out handles with the names... I was not sure if I should have or not. If anyone needs these to help you shop, let me know and I will send thier handles too.
