    To disable ads, please log-in.

    So one is to have a cyber beer party. Anyone who wants can join. We pick a date and a time and we all have a cold one of their choice at the same time and post a picture on the thread we start for it? Now of coarse a few te sister's are on waaaay different time zones but they can join in at the time we pick in thier country. Anyone?
    And 2nd how about another secret sister? But it can be a holiday theme? Ms Secret sister Santa (sorry if that is not pc). I would be happy to match everyone up if they want to do it. Just private message me your address and I will compile a list let's say by the end of this month then Dec 1st or 2nd (out of town on the 1st) I will send them out And if you can have your gift out before say christmas that would be great. Is that a good idea or is everyone strapped. We can put a limit price wise on it too.

    If you wanted to do a Secret Santa thing, Elfster works pretty well for that. I'm on a running message board that has done this in the private women-only section for about 4-5 years, now.

    I've PUI'ed (posting under the influence) a few times, too. It's fun to get a thread going with friends from all over.

    I thought maybe the secret santa thingy might be too much this time of year we could hold off and do it in the spring?

    we used to do the Secret Sister thing here a few years back. I loved it! I got gifts from around the world and it was so much fun. I would love to do it again- even if in the spring!

    We could pick a time for a beer and then whatever time zone you are in you can have the beer at that time and post your picture. A roving party around the world.

    I like the secret sister idea for spring.

    I like the idea . . . but then I'll be exposed for the light-weight I am. There may be some seriously strange drunk-posting from my hub. That or I'll fall asleep halfway thru my beer

    I am in for the beer thing. No one has ever accused me of refusing a beer opportunity.

    count me in for both, although I too like the idea of a secret sister for spring- like a secret sister easter bunny or spring fairy.

    As for which night for the beer thing- I would suggest a week night, maybe Wednesday, because it wouldn't interfere with religious observances, and if you have to work, a mid week night would help us all refrain to one beer. Of course those of us who are retired.......
