Everyone;
Don't forget to send your sock size if you forgot in the regular posting. Otherwise you better have an "average" foot because the best guess is medium!!! :rolleyes:
This should be fun!

Forgot to send over my size originally. Shoe size is 6.5.
Can anyone tell me if it is to late to join the sock group?:confused:
Try sending Mountainpuddles a PM Brandi - she may not have caught your request.
Hi Gals! We will be having new sisters every 3 months. For those of you who don't have a sister, don't worry please send me your address and at the beginning of March you will have one. B
has this question been answered?Quote:

The PM I received contained the real name, and, looking in the members list, no one is registered with that name...
So I have no idea who she is!
It's a double secret sister!
Nanci
Can you remind us mountainpuddles when it is time for the next round?
I received a real name, but no board name. I did a search and think I know who I have. But I don't have a sock size yet.
ohhhhh, I did a search on the name of the town where the person lives and found her :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
P.S. I'm a shoe size 10 :p
is there a suggested spending amount? I suppose there is some merit to holiday parties that say spend between X and XX....
I found some cute stuff in the TE shopping area. It would be great to support Susan O. by shopping for stuff in her store - and then TE can ship it for you!
Hi Gals, answer to your questions....
1. Please email me to find out the screen name of your sister
2. There is no $ amount, but every sister should receive a pair of cycling socks. Also, anything else you wanted to put into it is fine.
Sorry I have been slow to answer, B
Ladies,
I know that a few of you have placed your orders via TE. (Thanks!) My staff does not follow the forums, so if you don't want a receipt included, which would spoil the fun, PLEASE put "Please do not a enclose a receipt with this gift" in the special instructions field when you place the order. I just saw an order come though that said "Secret Sister" in the special instructions field. *I* know what this means, but the order processing staff doesn't. I happened to catch it, but I don't usually review the orders.
Tailwinds,
Susan
Heh! Too late for me! :)Quote:

Oh, and the brown-bagged socks made me laugh! Not my style, just the idea that they had to be covered up. So I guess you're not going to carry the Got Wood? (picture of beaver) socks that I got BF for Christmas, huh? He just likes beavers, so they were perfect for him!
I love socks...

Well, let's just say that some people have "delicate sensibilities". The Doggie Style socks (the only ones we currently have in a "brown paper wrapper") were not up on the site for 2 days before we had a complaint! So, we figured the wrapper and the "disclaimer" were a good idea - this is a family site, after all. :) In case anyone is wondering what we're talking about, go here: http://www.teamestrogen.com/categories.asp?catID=92 and check the third row, center.Quote:

The funny part - if memory serves me correctly - is that it was a very well-selling sock! Just goes to show that one women's trash is another's treasure, eh?
Tailwinds,

Hopefully you're still adding new sisters. Count me in for next month. This is a great idea! :D
Sounds like you are all having too much fun! Count me in for the next round, too.
Linda
That's too funny, given the fact that you can hear and see worse on network TV during "prime time!"Quote:

Hi Sisters, I am looking for suggestions for April. What do you think that our secret sister would like to receive for the month? Perhaps something for the hair, water bottle, or what about a panty exchange? Just throwing things out there, what do you think? Thanks, B
Not panties!!! Cute idea, but I am _so_ picky- I only like Patagonia. Waterbottle is a good idea- you can always use more than one! ;-) Cycling snacks would be a good one. Could "hair" be stretched to include anything that goes on the head?
Nanci
Panties..ummm...hahaha...
Waterbottle sounds fine to me. In regards to snacks/bars, let me speak to the loverly folks at australia post. I want to find out what foodstuffs we can send overseas.
c
Ooh, you're right- my SS from Canada said she couldn't send choc here. :-(
But the socks she sent went on their first ride yesterday, _plus_ protected the bikes from hitting each other on the rack on the way there and back.
Nanci
I think I read somewhere (dang, I really can't remember where, or I'd go looking :mad: ) that motorcycle riders have a small bell on their bikes to ward off all things evil, like the p*n*ct*r* fairy, or mechanical difficulties, or even dark SUVs driven by inattentive drivers.
The thing is, they don't work if you buy them for yourself. Someone has to give you yours.
Maybe we could exchange a bell, or a bike angel, or something protective like that?
I like that idea. Something protective. or how about a braclete. We have some cool surf sops here with some neat leater one's.
Bracelets are ok but i don't wear them so a person would just be wasting their hard earned $.
As i was walking to work this morning I thought why not send our secret sister an item from our city/town etc that they can't get in theirs. Even if it's not to do with cycling this time, tis ok.
Thoughts?
ps-i like the angel idea.
c
I still think the socks could stick around a couple more times too. I can always use more socks.
I'm not taking part in this but how about a water bottle from your favorite LBS or store? I love having bottles from my travels.
I love the "something local" idea, and I love the "something guardian" idea. I race, so I have so many goodie bag water bottles hanging around. A tailsman, I could always use.
( i have gotten the weirdest stuff in goodie bags...we should start a thread on that. Crotch guard caused fits of hysterical laughter in the parking lot at my last race. "back off....I have crotch guard")
Well it cracked us up at the time:D
It's making me laugh. Much better than the toothpaste at the Tour de Tahoe.Quote:

I like all three ideas:
1. waterbottle from local bike store;
2. something bought local or unique to a place where you live/work---like socks or saddlebag from a LBS;
3. guardian angel (small bell, angel on a bike charm, etc).
By the way, I'm all for sending nifty socks. "Sock of the Month Club"
No panties, please.
I can always go for more socks! I have three nice water bottles, and about a million schwag bottles. There are so many they live in beer bottle cartons in the laundry room...
Nanci
Well,
If we decide on socks again....I have to let my s.s know that I am a mtn biker, so send me rough and tumble socks...my first pair are so beautiful that I am afraid to wear them on the trails!!!!!
I got all excied because they match this sports top that I have and then I realized, hey wait a min.....I can't bike in that stuff in the summer, it will be ruined first time out. I guess underneath all of that dirt, there lurks the heart of a girl somewhere.:)
LOL
I vote for socks or something smaller.
Water bottles are great but they are bulky and therefore will cost more to ship. I am on a tight budget and I would rather spend what money I have allocated for the TE SS to the gift rather than the shipping.
So I vote things that are easier to ship. Then for those of you who want to can send more. :D
Ruth just told me about this, is it too late to get a s.s.??
Kerry
Am I the only one who has yet to receive anything from her secret sister (1st round)?
How about we just give them a choice of any of the 3 items suggested? If we're gonna change it up though, I think it would be wise to put a dollar limit on the items.
Either way, can we decide by Monday so I can go shopping. Like I need an excuse to shop, but it helps to justify my expenditures:rolleyes: !!
Have a great weekend everyone.
Grogg, if you don't get a pair by Monday send me your address and I'll send you a pair - I stocked up, I thought it was a sock of the month club, lol.
HEy grog,
As mtbdarby said, if you've not received anything yet let me know as i'm happy to send you something from ozzie..
