The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
So, I saw. i don't record 'em, I just report 'em. LOL I asked, Krystle to take another look after folks had a chance to post here. Some folks forgot to list their member name along with their contribution. I'm sure we can get it all worked out right and account for everyone's generosity!!!

I'm flattered but a bit embarrassed by talk about me has hijacked the Secret Santa 2015 thread. I'm moving the posts about me here (knowing that the dates will be slightly off).
I'll try not to peek.
I sent a PayPal contribution to Krystle a few days ago. Didn't see my name on the list so I sent a follow up message to her but still don't have a reply or confirmation.
Cool!!!! Now we can talk about him behind his back!!! LOL LOL

I'll get right on it, Bob!! I'm sure we can get it straight.
FWIW folks, I'm not much of a "book keeper" and though, Krystle was kind enough to offer a helping hand in my ineptitude, she has a little boy, a job and a husband to tend to as well. From the extent of the response and early tabulation I think its fairly safe to say that whatever we end up getting him it will be from EVERYONE participating in the "Secret Santa" exchange and a few more that just jumped in and contributed because the spirit overtook them. So, I suppose the "List" is more important than anything else. Does that make sense?
Now, down to the serious business, what do we get him? Since he has promised to "not peek" I suppose we can just hash it out right here. I looked into a few of the suggestions already offered. The CD prints recently announced are a "no-go". I communicated with, Dolores and prints of any kind are not reccommended. Of course, our "fall back" can be a gift certificate from, Betts but it would be nice to be able to identify something a little more personal. I'm gonna say that currently we have about $275 to spend and that wouldn't include s/h. If we can come up with something really cool that costs a few bucks more, I'd be willing to shell out a few additional sheckles to make it happen so, let's say $300 is the number we have to work with in the end, all included. I have asked, David to have a look see and make some suggestions. I guess now we all should put on our collective "Thinking Caps".
Bear in mind that with 35-40 folks, all with their individual ideas and suggestions, we'll need to have some form of an "Executive Decision" made. However, I say we try as hard as possible to make this as democratic as we can. So, bearing that in mind, please do your homework before you suggest a gift and we'll see if we can't boil it down to 6 or 8 ideas to ultimately vote on and decide.
How does that sound? Did I pretty much cover everything? Remember folks, this is a "Christmas Gift" and should be given as such with the intention, good will and the gesture being the most important components. Make sense to everyone?
Also, very happy holiday wishes to all you folks!!! Your spirit and generosity is truly inspiring and "magic" IMHO!!!!

We're all on our honor here so I'm not going to worry about who paid and when. That is between you folks and, God. All we will concern ourselves with is the "From" list (as stated above) and the grand total. If I missed anyone it was not intentional and just post and let me know to update the list. I think we may need a deadline/cut-off to arrive at a final spending total and allow for shipping/delivery. Does 12/1/15 seem good? Unless suggested otherwise, I say we use that date as the drop dead date for contributions, updates and gift selection. That cool with ecveryone?
Oh, and please note, if you want to be included, a part of the selection process and so forth it is your responsibility to make sure that you check in here as often as possible. It's Christmas time, the spirit is upon us and we're all busy with everything that entails so, check in often and make it your business if you want your input included. Fair enough?

Is he planning on ordering one of Rachel's statutes? You could use the money to pay for one or part of one. I know she hasn't listed a price yet.
just a suggestion
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I would ask Brian at CD for one of those framed Vinny Chong prints... he may give us a deal and we almost have enough. He wanted one bad and there are only 19 but perhaps a PC ??? Worth a shot
