So, what do people think of a gift exchange. Like actual, physical packages?

Could be fun.
What does the ToS say about it?

Good point. Let me read up on it  

[maenad nuri]

On first glance, I don't think there is any problem within the rules or TOS.

What I will do (in interest of privacy) is Post a questionnaire which would include asking for an address. This would be sent to my email account (so that addresses would not be in my PM's)

Included on this would be: likes, dislikes, things about yourself. But also whether you are willing to ship internationally. This would be then sent to the person that will be sending you something

You wouldn't know who was sending you stuff until you received it, when you'd also post what you got. I would try not to match people that I know don't like each other.

I just spent several hours with a giant white cat on my shoulder. Ow.

My father had a minor stroke WEEKS ago. My mum just told me tonight.

I'm really sorry. That's tough. It can be hard to get people to go to the doctor, I know. And I hope your shoulder feels better.

HEEEYYYYY!!!! I'm not eclectic!!! I'm confused and indecisive! errr... ok we'll go with eclectic

Hello! I'm confused too!

Oook, social anxiety. Food is somewhat helpful for me too, like Fiddler said. Also, pets. I've used petting someone's cat as a way of being occupied so I can not talk to people many times. XD I'm so much better than I used to be. I used to be so scared that I couldn't even get my own mail.

My mom had a doctor's appointment today, and they're getting her a wheelchair, oxygen and a sleeve to help with the edema in her arm, did blood tests, chest x-rays and the like. I'm relieved. I kind of wished they'd send her to the hospital, but as long as they're being proactive, I feel better.

I went to the doctor today as well. Yay fun. I've been having trouble with my ears for about half a year now... clogged and painful. My dad is Deaf (as is that entire side of the family, I was raised bi-culturally) and has a multitude of ear problems, and I was a bit worried I'd end up with pain constantly, like he has, but my doctor thinks it's allergies. Here's hoping!

I would recommend not specifying what kind of contact info and keeping all requests for addies off Gaia. While it's unlikely anyone would report it, technically any questionnaire asking for offline data which could be used to find people offline is not allowed under the issue of safety. Usually this references specific questionnaire posts, but better safe than sorry imo.

That makes sense (and is easily done), I should probably also limit it to people 18 and over.

We'll see if there is more interest.

Or 13, with parental consent? Or 16, I think that would be better.

Anyways.
Hi all! I'm back!

I'm hesitant on 16 and 13 is right out (I WORK with 13 year olds. There's no way I'd want their addresses)

First though, who is interested?  

[patch99329]

Me smile

[queertastrophy]

Sounds fun.

And Harvey Korman died. sad emo  

[Calixti]

Who's Harvey Korman, Blue?

He was a comedian and actor, who was on the Carol Burnett show, and he played Hedley Lamarr in Blazing Saddles.

I'm mostly bummed because it seems all of the actors I grew up with are kicking off. I was devastated when Madeline Kahn died ten years ago. Peter Boyle dying was a blow to me.

And I won't be able to get out of bed for two weeks when Gene Wilder passes. gonk
