Congrats Paula!!!
To all who post, lurk, sail or simply "hang" out here, is an.....
OFFICIAL INVITATION to ALL DIS NEIGHBORS to join in...
the
1st UNOFFICIAL Pre-Cruise Secret Mickey Exchange!
Downrivermama (Tina) and I are hosting this FUN little diversion.
Please PM one of us with your responses to the 20questions below to particiapte.
The deadline to join in shall be OCTOBER 31st - midnite. You shall receive info with your SM beneficiary in the first few days of November.
Please note - if your DIS screen name begins with A-M... PM ME.... If your screen name is N-Z then PM Tina at Downrivermama... as we are dividing the work load and logistics so we can participate as well.
This is proposed as a simple
FUN game in a familiar vein. Would you like to particiapte in a secret gift exchange and guessing game of sorts? All who particiapte shall be
secretly matched up to two DIS neighbors whom they shall either send to or recieve potentially taunting, provocative, thoughtful and/or otherwise curiously meaningful token gifts. The DIS neighbor sending to you is a SECRET MICKEY benefactor for YOU. And YOU in turn shall serve as a SECRET MICKEY benefactor for someone else!
The exchange shall occur TWICE for this game : once on or about Thanksgiving week.... and again at or about the time of Christmas/New Years' Week.
The total value of these two items is suggested to be no less than about $25. And the upper limit shall be no more than $100,000. Anyone sending
significantly less than $25 in items shall risk endless taunting from your on-line neighbors here <chuckles>.
To help CONCEAL the MYSTERIOUS origin of some Secret Mickey Gifts - TINA and I offer the option of TRANS-SHIPPING your gifts if postage is furnished. IE... ship your gi
ft to us and we will reship it from where we are so your recipient cannot possibly know where it came from. If postage is NOT furnished - then we reserve the right to have a few items dissappear into the DIS abyss (chuckles- we'll bill for deficient postage)
The fun (in part) comes from sending your beneficiary fun and entertaining tokens of appreciation - you are asked to send items to arrive on the two weeks we have selected - however, some of you may choose to exercise a little creativity in pursuit of fun and games.
To sign up, please cut and paste (or quote + copy) these TWENTY questions into a PM for either myself or Downrivermama (Tina)
We will collect them all, match folks randomly, and then give out SM buddy info after October 31st.
.
Please be as specific as possible in your answers. This will help your Secret Mickey buddy get you the things that you want and/ or use. Please no YES or No answers. These types of answers make it really hard on your buddy. You are free to volunteer extra info if desired. PLUS more than one member of your family may participate if desired.
