I'll betcha thought I forgot... here they are in no particular order
Rose's stepmom:
| has no access to the Internet, but would probably love getting weird crap from all over. My dad is a huge practical joker and any way he can get Patsy, he's in, so he'd definitely be on our side. They are very, ahem, interesting and diffrent kind of folks, my parents, so let me know if patsy's in the running. She lives in North Carolina and Florida (aka The Weather Channel's Hurricane Cone of Doom) but we speak on the phone several times a week. |
Rick says:
I would like to nominate my mother in law to be the next victim. She is 55 years old, divorced, and recently moved by herself to a "retirement community" although she is far from retired. She doesnt have many friends, or much family and although we don't live that far we rarely have the opportunity to spend much time with her. I really feel like this would be just the thing to pick her up, as lately it has really seemed like she has been down. In the community she lives in there are mailboxes that are different from the addresses of the patrons, so there wouldn't be the hassle there was this time with the PO Box, as it would be entirely safe to send to her address (I would just need to notify the complex manager). I participated in the sending in both sessions so far, and I tried in the last e-bay auction to win, but it got to rich for my blood right at the end.
I would be an excellent facilitator with updates and notes and I could really make the third run the best yet. |
Julianna comes along with this idea:
My baby sister (well she is 18!) just left for school 8 hours away from here. She is now in London Ontario and getting a tad homesick. She does not know about this site and adores mail and has a great sense of humour. I know she would LOVE this prank- only problem is she is not a mom. Maybe we could do "Postcards for Undergrad Student" or something along those lines, I think it would be hilarious, and would promise to keep everyone updated every few days.
Let me know what everyone thinks of this idea! I think it would be a fun chance of pace! |
(Others have suggested that we send Julianna's sis things as if she
was a mom...)
Jen L comments:
| I'm pondering my sister.. I don't think I told her about this site but I can't seriously think about it until after my wedding (8 days now!) But come October I would do anything if I can figure this out and plan it right and get the right people involved in it so it could be pulled off. |
Aly adds:
| I'd be willing to nominate my mom. She's 65, lives in Las Cruces, NM, and was diagnosed with CML (Chronic Meyeloid Leukemia) last year. She's in remission now, and has a very positive outlook on life. She loves to cook (so sending a recipe would be cool), loves to crochet (loved the 16.5 inches of yarn idea), loves to travel (espeically to GA to see her 3 grown kids and grandbabies) and would be a great sport about it all. Although I don't live close enough to keep tabs, we talk and e-mail regularly and she has a "significant other" that would be happy to relay the info and reactions to me. If you haven't picked anyone by October 1, please consider my mom. She'd be the perfect target, um victim, um candidate. You've had midwest, east, try the desert southwest! |
