'Tis the last official day to sign up. I won't get the names out until Saturday, so stragglers will have a couple extra days but if you're already here, PLEASE DON'T WAIT. The last couple years, I've been able to switch things around and allow late comers, but it does cause some confusion. I especially only want to send out 1 cards list this year. (Having said all that, I hate the thought of anyone missing out so I guess we'll just see how it goes).

Amazon is the worst about this! Which really stinks, because I use Amazon to price check other companies. I don't have anyone to price check Amazon.

I just said something similar over on Discord, but I would like to know the financial ramifications to the company of letting the ads be leaked. I feel like they wasted money having their lawyers draw up the letter.

It has. We also have 1 more committed (just hasn't had time to get her info in), and if the last 2 years are any indication we'll have 2 or 3 that come in after the deadline.

I was in the Christmas aisle at Walmart the other day and saw a bag of slime you put gift cards in.

I've used the Walmart pay twice now. It's not as bad as I thought. LOL. Actually, I had to run in the other night for 1 thing. I grabbed it, went through the self check, used Walmart Pay and was out the door. I wondered why I had been so resistant, it was the easiest thing ever.

I'm not sure about downloading content to watch offline with DirecTV, but I think I remember you can do that. Also, you can rent movies from Amazon, and download those to a tablet. Once you start a rented movie, I think you have 48 hours to finish it. You can do that with a Kindle, or with any tablet you can put the Amazon video app on.

Trading Places. I love that movie. I keep trying to get my kids to watch it (they're grown), but I can't pin them down. "How can I stop him sir, when I don't know which way is Connecticut?!?"

Funny story... I am making cookies with royal icing for my niece's baby shower in a couple weeks. Since I've never made royal icing, I made a practice run over the weekend. My son comes in while I'm baking, I turn around and he has a mouth full of cookie. I said "Seriously? You have no idea what i'm baking these for, you don't know if I needed a certain number of cookies, what if I hadn't had enough for you to start eating them??" Him: "what? I thought they were Christmas cookies." Me: "It's OCTOBER!" Him: "SO? You start celebrating Christmas in JULY!!!". He kinda had me there (but seriously, I don't start making Christmas cookies this early. LOL).

It doesn't need to be an even number, since the names are disbursed and not just traded straight across. But I'll add you to the ornament list, if you want!

We've officially exceeded the last 2 years SS participants. There are still a couple days left if anyone else wants to join. Those of you that have signed up, I don't want to sound like a nag but please check the lists and make sure I have them right .

I know a lot of people swear by Wish. I ordered a stuffed elephant from them once, and once I got it the quality seemed fine. But it took 2 months to get it.

Bumping this thread. A little less than 1 week to get your info in, if you want to participate. If you've never participated before, it's a lot of fun. Who doesn't love to get gifts in the mail? I love learning more about my fellow GDers, and searching for that just right gift or ornament. Remember, I need your info by next Wednesday, October 31.

Last year, my niece called me from the deer woods (Ha!) on Thanksgiving day to ask me if I could, but don't go out of your way to pick up the PW dishes in red. I hung up with her, went to the Walmart app on my phone, and ordered the dishes. This was hours (of course) after their online sale went live so I wasn't sure they'd still be available, but I had no problem. Also, our Walmart still had a big stack of them later in the day. Now, that was the dinnerware. I don't know if the pots and pans were more popular.
