"The bicycle was the first machine to redefine successfully the notion of what is feminine. The bicycle came to symbolize something very precious to women - their independence."—Sally Fox
Aggie, can you get with the gals that ran this in Aug, Sept, to find out if the same people who are not giving aren't still Getting nice gifts while leaving their own secret sisters in the lurch?
I would be VERY disappointed if this happened to me!
I did hear from my September (no longer) SS, and was assured it is in the mail. No slams against anyone here. Anxiously awaiting (oh, crud, I'm so impatient! You should have seen me as a kid at Christmas!).![]()
I'm just such a rookie at this (and quite literal in following instructions), I'm afraid my package(s) are whimpy or worse, dorky. I'd love to see how you pros do it. I actually had my stuff ready to go for weeks before I mailed it last month myself (she got it on the 30th, how's that for making it by the skin o' yer teeth??).
**Mimi- I can follow up. If anyone has been behind on their SS please PM me. This isn't a witch-hunt. It would just be nice to let your previous SS know something came up and you were unable to fulfill the commitment or something is on its way. I won't pass along who was unable to participate. It would just be nice to know someone received your name and sometimes things happen. Does that sound fair Mimi?**
Since I am starting to get a lot of PM's and Regina's idea got a positive response, let's declare that the theme.
Theme: Fun stuff. It could be bike gadgets/ornaments/toys/etc. Be creative and have...FUN!
When you PM Angie_Ama, you say "Christmas (or) Hanakkah OK" and that will let your SS know if you are open to receiving a holiday themed treat. The presumption will be NO holiday themed item.
Anyway, that's my thought.
If you have already PM'd me I will follow up for suggestions.
If you want to participate:
Send me a PM by Sunday, October 29. State your name, address and state if Christmas/Hanakkah themed is okay. If you don't state either way we will assume you just want something fun/bike related.

And note that I am typing-challened. (edit: See? Did it again! That's CHALLENGED!)
Of course, you'd be PM'ing AGGIE_AMA, not "Angie_Ama"!![]()
I wanna play this month!
I agree with the idea of Xmas stuff or fun items!
Cleveland is not only flat, it's small - no Bike shops for more
than 100 miles.
This will be my first time, so someone will have to go over the rules,
deadlines and $ limits or suggestions . . .
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
