OK, Gang,<P>I'm putting $50 that it's not me, any takers? It's not that I don't look good in tights or spandex [my favorite color is spandex!]<P>I do have the legs for it, shapely thighs, firm bottom and a nice chest. Where was I going with this?<P>Oh, yeah. Place your bets.<P>I always thought the CF was male. Dopey me!!!<P>Did you ever notice that you never see TNT and the CF at the same time? Things that make ya go hummmm.<P>Come to think about it, you never see Batman and Bruce Wayne together either. I may be onto something here. Do you think Clark Kent is the Lone Ranger?<P>TNT where are you??????<BR><P>------------------<BR>"It's not over till we say it's over! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? H*ll no!" Blutto...Animal House 1984<P>Wishing us all the Best.<P>Medic

I'll raise you *50 and say that it isn't me either... and I bet Medic looks better in tights than I do! <P><I><B>*any bets implied or otherwise are null and void and moot and not real and pretend and fake and imitation and invisible-- not to mention do not involve money, but raisins or pebbles or shells or teeth.</B></I>

Too funny! So, TNT is the Card Fairie? Or wasstubborn? Or Bozo's Deb? <P>It's not me. And I only place safe bets, with or without a disclaimer (nice touch, Sheryl).

explain the card faire theory to me..... whats it all about i want a card farie too

OnceBetrayed,<P>Once upon a time, when the MB boards began, there was a little fairie who fluttered about delivering nice little cards and thoughts to posters for all sorts of reasons: birthdays, anniversaries, deaths...<P>She, or he, was annoymous, and we NEVER DID know who was the force behind the wings...<P>On my thread to the old-timers, TNT (a really old-timer) said that if we got it over 300 posts (which we did last night) she would tell us.

The board had "The Card Fairie" that posted e-cards for special occasions and to help encourage others. I haven't seen the card fairie in quite some time. On another thread someone asked who the card fairie was. Most of us don't know, but want to know. Did that make sense? I hope so.

Hi there,<P> Would love to see Medic in tights....LOL!!<P>I would bet the card fairie is.....Sheba! LU

I think the name starts with a T and ends in a T. Hm....<P>L.

Hey All,<P>The CF is sadly missed. "He" [she ?] brought tidings of joy with happy cards and messages. I did get a chance to talk to the CF on ICQ. Just couldn't get the real identity out of him.<P>Cheryl, only another $50? Geez. $10 says that you look better in tights. <P>Ok, now we are getting somewhere. It's not me, Sheryl, Raskal, Once Betrayed or Lu. [I do look hot in tights!] [or nothing at all for that matter] POOP, did I say that out loud? <P>The Pinhead

I use to wonder if that nice ol' CF is/was Bozo's Deb!

I think the name starts with a T and ends in a T. Hm....<P>L.

Not me either!!!<P>I always thought it was Samantha(ABlessedSamantha), but I think I am wrong!<P>Oh well!<P>C'mon TNT!!!!!<BR> <BR>tell us<BR>tell us<BR>tell us<BR>tell us<BR>tell us <P>Can't you see the screaming tamtrum I'm having!!! <P>Just kidding! <P>Nicole

Hey, I thought my ears were burning ! I do know who the CF is/was. It wasn't me I promise. Nor was it TNT or Sheba. I will tell you that the CF is a woman. A very sweet one. I haven't seen her post for awhile. I miss her !<P>Now we can discuss bribes for me to tell, but they will have to be good ones.

Okay, now we are getting somewhere! *rubbing hands together*<P>How about a an outpouring of gratitude from all of us, if you tell us, Deb? Is that good enough? Try harder? Any suggestions of bribes?

FHL?

Yeah, FHL...<P>Hmmmm.....<P>Wasn't there something about bribes to Deb???<P>A pound of salmon whip is yours, Deb, if you spill the beans!! I know you can't resist!!

Hmmm an out pouring of gratitude ? Sounds nice. But chocolate, GOOD chocolate truffles sounds better.<P>Wassi - Nope.

Did you not see my salmon whip???? Do I not have a voice???<P>Okay, which thread did she post on most? huh, huh... HINTS LADY

Ok Deb,<P>What do ya want? I have a company credit card and access to the best internet chocolates you could ever imagine.<P>Am I getting close?

Okay, Chocolate truffles, eh? Now, how would I get that to you? I'm gonna go search for a good website and be back! <P>So, I'm still thinking it was/is Dawnetta and nobody has denied it, yet. Is it her?

Up the anty (sp?) - Free session with Jennifer or Steve? A triggerless trip to ___________????? <P>Being in suspense is not good for me today. Com'on.....<P>L.

WOW,<P>I just realized that I got Nicole, Deb and Wassi out of the woodwork. I think I beat you Cheryl!!!! <P>I'll raise the stakes to $12.50 that you look better in spandex, hows that for being a high roller?

But guys I can't tell ! (I will take any chocolate sent my way though) I promised the CF I would never spill the beans. Now if TnT tells I am off the hook and will even back her up if she's right.<P>(I know I shouldn't tease, but I am a naughty girl.)

Of course it wasn't me, but to not even be suspected, geez, probably too late to work on my image.<P>I guess Terri (other guesses have been Samantha, Deb--notagain/bozo, Wassi, FHL, TNT).<P>And I think spandex is from the devil .<P>Wait, Terri doesn't end in T... <p>[This message has been edited by Lor (Lor) (edited April 24, 2001).]

You know what's so friggen sad? Nobody for even ONE SECOND thought it was ME!

Oh man! You won't tell, Deb???! I searched for good chocolates.....(like that is hard). *sob*<P>Lor you are definately sweet and considerate to be considered! Terri....hmmmm. Could be. I am still thinking Dawnetta, though.

It's because I talk about things like Corona beer and nipples, isn't it? <P>

Yes I did, NB, should I pull out my quote??? I mentioned you and I think maybe somebody else did, too.

Did you REALLY Raskal??????? Me? Ah shucks!!!

Now what have Corona and nipples got to do with being The Card Fairie?? LOL<BR>

Don't let the fact that I can make a voodoo doll out of household items stop you from being "admirable" Bozo's Deb...<P>Did I just say that out loud????<P>Now where is that potato and string???

Awww, Deb, I always thought it was you~! Now I have to start thinkin' again....<P> <P>Lori

Raskal<BR>I think you have it. Dawnetta/Butterfly and Deb/Notagain were my other guesses long ago. Since Deb denies and denies.....hmmmm....

AHHHH! Thanks, Wassi! We are making progress, narrowing it down! Yesssss! <BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Raskal:<BR><B>Now what have Corona and nipples got to do with being The Card Fairie?? LOL</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Well it all began on a thread over on EN's...<P>I said that in Canada (parts of it anyhow) a woman can go topless, but has to wear pants and shoes and I wondered, which shoes go with nipples? <P>And of course the guys found that post because we all know that when a breast is exposed (if only on paper) men know it, even if it's a thousand miles away...<P>The Corona? Well, in the mega-thread on the D/D board, I was the chaperone and I always had a bottle of Corona... just for effect, you understand! <P>

LOL! Okay, now I gottcha! So, did you decide what shoes goes best with nipples? Tan?

What was it one guy said??? Something that doesn't go well with nipples is knees? No, that's not how it went... that doesn't make sense it all...<P>There were nipples, and there were knees, and I think it had something to do with nipples down by the knees.<P>I think we decided red.

Oh my gosh! Why didn't I think of that?

Does anyone remember Keosha99?? Ya know, the one who shot at the OW?? She hasn't been around in a long time either!<P>Where the heck is she??<P>No talk of nipples now! <P>Mitzi

Alright,<P>New game plan kids. I did a search and Professorg [Rob] knows who it is. If we can't get Deb to give it up and TNT wants to tease us and possibly extort more money maybe we can get Rob to tell us?<P>This is driving me crazy and it's a short ride for me.<P>Could it be the Corona driven Sheryl?

Yeah Mitzi, she was GREAT!!!!!! I hope she isn't in JAIL!!<P>Nipples, nipples, nipples

Corona-driven, CORONA-DRIVEN???? <P>I drove a CORONA, you know, Toy-o-ta Corona in 1977, 2 door sports model... loved that car!!! <p>[This message has been edited by new_beginning (edited April 24, 2001).]

Ok, no talking about nipples, Sheryl! LOL When you're neglected, (as I am), you don't want to hear about anything to do with bodies or sex! <P>Mitzi

Rob is waaaaaay too nice to give it up... he's sweet beyond reason... no, we need someone who can be BOUGHT, I tell ya!!!!!!!

Knees, nipples, knees, nipples......<P>I forgot about Keosha! She was a hoot! *sigh*<P>Nipples and knees.....<P>Medic, yes, please try and get Rob to tell us!

Sheryl,<P>The fact that there are 24 bottles/cans in a case and 24 hours in a day is by shear coincidence. <P>OK, maybe not. I had to join AAA because I was a heavy drinker. Ok, well I guess 150 pounds is not heavy, but you get the idea. <P>Thank God, I switched to recreational drugs, much cheaper.

Ah, recreational drugs... you mean like the ferris wheel or the ski doo???<P>For cheap thrills, I jaywalk.

Um, yeah Sheryl<P>That's the ticket, not like I have access to Valium and Morphine everyday.<P>Oh, and Mitzi. Men have breasts too!!!<P>Getting [mentally] sicker by the minute, ME

You're a butt, Tim... like I don't know you're a... um, what, uh, oh ya, <sarcastic smirk> MEDIC.<P>Sheryl <BR>(getting downright surly, or is that shirley, or shurley, or what the hell is it?)

Whew, Dylan! <P>You had me worried for a minute! I thought maybe you had flipped out or something! Tim? Innocent?? ROTFLMAO!! <P>Mitzi <P>

Hey you guys!<P>Did anyone ever consider that the CF might be Dylan? Oh wait, those card messages were always really short, so that sort of proves it wasn't Dylan..................<P>Boy, I really miss all the posts she used to write. She should write a book about this whole thing, or maybe just compile all her posts together. Heck, I would buy a copy!<P>But I REALLY want to know who it is!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!<P>Peppermint

YIKES!!!! <P>Yesterday it was sex toys ... today it's nipples and Corona!! What is happening on this forum???!!!<P>Although, come to think of it, a nipple ON my Corona might keep me from spilling... but it'd be awful difficult to put the lime in then... <P>Oh, and, NO I'M NOT THE CARD FAIRIE...

Hi Kat! We are pretty sad, aren't we? Well, yoru comment about the dogs just makes me know a little bit more firmly that it is Dawnetta, if memory serves me right. <P>Please, someone confirm this!!!

Ok Kat,<P>I think I can help. You asked about anyone who knows about dogs, right?<P>They are the four legged furry things that go woof woof.<P>We are getting closer to figuring this out. I hope I helped.<P>Still the Idiot

Yep Yep, Yep!! Dawnetta has dogs!! Are we getting closer?? I think so!<P>Wow Tim!<P>You're a genius! You knew about the nipples, salt, lime and corona. Now you know about dogs! <P>Mitzi

So, Mitzi is/was Dawnetta the Card Fairie? Do you know? More importantly, will you tell?

Maybe it is Mitzi and she is trying to throw us off the trail. Nice try chick. I'm no stranger to pain. I was M... Twice...

Always thought it was Dawnette myself. But I have no proof.<P><BR>As for the Corona, well nipples or not it is good stuff.<P>JL

Thanks much, J.L.! Even though you have no proof, someone else thinking the same thing helps.<P>I haven't had a Corona in quite awhile. I'm thirsty!

I don't know who the Card Fairie is! I wish I did!! <P>I just thought that your idea about Dawnetta and the dogs could be right!<P>Mitzi

Hey Tim,<P>The Card Fairie was here long before I was! Silly!<P>

Sorry Mitzi,<P>Only a guess. I just thought if we could all put our heads together we would have one big, um... never mind. Sorry, I'm a guy. I like it, so sue me!!!

One big what?? I don't get it?? <P>Mitzi

Sorry Mitz,<P>You would enjoy it. How does a woman hold her liquor? By the ears!!!<P>What do you call a Tic Tac before oral sex?

Tim,<P>ROTFLMAO!!!<P>Ok, as for the second one....what??<P>Mitzi

This is naughty so hold your ears.<P> A pre [censored] a mint!!!

OMG!!<P>ROTFLMAO!!! <P>Ok, since we haven't figured out who the Card Fairie is, tell more jokes! <P>Maybe TNT will show up and tell us soon!!<P>Mitzi

<P>I am <B>SHOCKED</B>, simply shocked!!<P>Reminds me of this other joke, an oldie...<P>Three nuns go to the Father...<P>The first nun says, Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. I have seen a man naked.<P>"Wash your eyes in the fountain, Sister". <P>The second nun says, Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. I have touched a naked man.<P>"Wash your hands in the fountain, Sister".<P>The two nuns are at the fountain when the third appears:<P>"Move over girls, gotta gargle!!"

So, everyone disappeared <P>I told my best/worst joke, and they all scattered... <P>I guess I have to wait till manana to find out who the card fairie is... <P>It will be a fitful sleep!! <P>

No, not me, and I was never clever enough to figure it out, but I do remember the dog thing, too. Chris knew...

I am all out of jokes at the moment, at least any that make sense in the english language But please continue, I love jokes!<P>As for guesses, I don't know anymore. As I said before that long ago when I was here the last time the card Fairy was still making her appearance and I rememeber receiving quite some nice and caring cards from her. A few times I thought I knew who she was, and I seem to recall someone saying that something she said on a thread gave her up. So a few of us know who she is, they are however bound by the promise of not revealing what they know.<BR>I wonder if those old posts are still around and if a clue could be found there...<P>As for the prize to guess right, if it's a picture of medic in spandex no less, I want to guess !!!!!!!!!LOL<P>And yes, medic, thanks for refreshing my mind about dogs I remembered the fur and four legs, but was stuck between woof woof and meow LOL<BR>Have a few things to do, buwill be back in a bit.<BR>Kat<BR>

Ok, TNT!<P>We impatiently waiting!!! <P>Mitzi

OK, first, I have NO idea who the <B>card fairie</B> is/was, but since you have turned this into a joke thread, here is one:<P>Ole took Lena home with him and took off his shirt. Lena says, "Ole dat's some chest you have dare. Ole says, " Lena, dat's a hunnert pounds of dynamite." <P>Next he took off his pants. Lena says, " Ole dat's nice calves you have dare." Ole says, " Lena dat's a hunnert pounds of dynamite." <P>Ole quickly reached down and pulled off his underpants and Lena screamed and ran out the door. Ole put his clothes back on and ran after her. Catching her Ole said, " Lena, viy did you run out like dat?" Lena said, " Vith all dat dynamite around, I taught it vas going to explode ven I saw how short da fuse vas!"

And, one more....<P>An old country doctor went way out to the boondocks to deliver a baby. It was so far out, there was no electricity. When the doctor arrived, no one was home except for the<BR>laboring mother and her 5-year-old child. The doctor instructed the child to hold a lantern high so he could see, while he helped the woman deliver the baby. The child did so. The mother pushed and after a little while, the doctor lifted the newborn baby by the feet and spanked him on the bottom to get him to take his first breath. The doctor then asked the 5-year-old what he thought of the baby. <P>"He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place." "Spank him again," the 5-year-old said.

It wasn't me!!!! I can barely add the faces to my post. <BR>I didn't even get a card, when it, she or he, asked for everyone's Birthday so he or she could send them a card....I said..."no, I'm not having anymore Birthdays, just accepting presents!"...that's my "final answer" and also my joke for the day! LOL<BR>DEB....remember when we admitted our ages to each other????? ARGH........painful!<BR>I might add....What a GOOD person he or she was! It was alot of work and he or she did alot of good! It would be nice to know, it would be nice to give alot of "Thank Yous!!!!!" <BR>I do think that soon....we will all get a card for all of us sighned with a REAL name. <P>AH

DeWayne,<P>That was DYN-O-MITE!! LOL LOL<P>Sheryl,<P>You can tell jokes! I'll laugh! I promise!! <P>Mitzi

<B>Sheryl -</B> If I remember correctly, you were asked not to tell anymore <I>nun</I> jokes... <P>OK, one last one for now:<P><B>What you learn as you mature... </B><P> I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in. <P> I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just buttholes. <P> I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it. <P> I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better have a big weenie or huge boobs. <P> I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think. <P> I've learned that you can keep puking long after you think you're finished. <P> I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities. <P> I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place. <P> I've learned that we don't have to ditch bad friends,......because their dysfunction makes us feel better about ourselves. <P> I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away. <P> I've learned to say "screw them if they can't take a joke" in 6 languages. <BR>

I have to go to work and miss all this fun! I sure hope we know who the card fairie is, soon. Thank you, Almost Happy for letting us know it wasn't you. I sure hope the card fairie comes clean. <P>Have a good day, all!

Hey, someone put me down as the card fairie. I believe the card fairie was here before me so it isn't me.<P>Where is TNT to let us know......

Our fluttering angel (CF) registered on June 20, 1999... hints, hints, but no answers!!!!! <P>TNT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you guys remember a woman named vpond... Vicki, I think, was her name... I've been thinking (gotta get a LIFE!)... and I think she's the fairie...

What cards are you talking about?? I'm in the dark..<BR>but then again, I dont get to visit MB that often.<P>CF

Sheryl,<P>Ya know what? Even if you had a life, you'd still be thinking about this! LOL<P>I sat a work yesterday (for a little while! LOL) and kept thinking, "Who the hell could be the Card Fairie?" Soon I'll be walking down the street asking complete strangers if they know! It's driving me nuts! LOL LOL

Hi all...<P>Ain't me! (but thanks for "accusing" me Samantha). I too always guessed Dawnetta, TNT or Bozos Deb. All these ladies are of about the right "vintage".<P>This is fun..<P>Starpony

Another thought - look at the spelling... Card Fairie?!!<P>Don't all red-blooded Americans spell this "Fairy"... could it be the "card fairie" is British (Or Canadian) or Quebecoise!!! <P>Hmmm...the plot thickens or the thought plickens...never could keep that straight..<P>Starpony

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.......<P>Look how "can't forget" signed her name....... <BR>Is she pulling our leg? Yanking Our Chains? play'in with our minds.......LMAO!<BR>Well....I can't stay here all day thinking, gotta go paint my toes nails!<P>AH

<B>Starpony</B><P>Oh my goodness as I live and breathe, it's <B>Starpony</B>!!! How are you darlin? So glad to see you.<P>Hmmmmmmm??????? If it isn't you, or the few others that have checked in, then I am betting it's probably <B>Dawnetta</B> or <B>DYLAN.</B> <B>Dyalan</B> is really starting to take the lead here in my book. Hmmmmm???????<P>I am at work, and look what I am doing. Sheesh! If I get caught it's going to be curtains. "Off with her head!" says the boss man. "I can't help it Sir, you see they might reveal who the <B>Card Fairie</B> is on this site I go to, and, well, I just have to know who this is!" says Samantha in reply. "Too bad, off with her head!"<P>Horrible! I'd better run.<P>Love to one and all,<P>------------------<BR><B>God bless you and all of us. We are all going to make it, all of us!

Good Heavens, it's <B>STARPONY</B> -- the girl with the name I always LOVED!!!

Hey all,<P>Just checkin' in to see if the beans have been spilled yet!<P>Darn it they're not! <P>As much as it would be very "Dylanesque" to be card faireish - (dropping little lines of supportive fairy dust here and there) I don't think it is her. Disclosure/discovery was October 1999 and I don't think she even found the site until almost November. I hardly remeber Dawnetta so you guys would be a better judge of that than me.<P>Anyway, I best sign off - gotta study! egads!!!<p>[This message has been edited by Patient Love (edited April 25, 2001).]

I am so unbelievably flattered that some of you suspected me!!!<P>but alas, nope....my friend Nicky is right...I only stumbled in here in November 99...and if you check on page 9 of this very thread, it is indeed ME, MYSELF and I that asks to be told who the Card Fairie is!!!...<P>Also, yes, the spelling is from the old british 'Fairie'...I wouldn't know how to spell it in 'quebecoise'...but since most of them massacre the language it would probably be Fereeee...<P>LOL...<P>and to Peppermint, thank you lovely lady for the compliment about reading what I write...<P>if anybody wants to be my agent and get me a book deal, tell 'em I need a $60,000 advance....and cut yourself a good chunk of profit <P>also, all my REALLY good stuff got lost in the great crash of 99....sigh....I saved many posts on disk, but not all.<P>ok.....TNT, come on over and spill the proverbial beans, girly girl.......<P>Dylan<BR><P>------------------<BR>"The journey into darkness has been long and cruel, and you have gone deep into it."<BR>~ A Course in Miracles

I think it was spelled Card Faerie. But, then that is the spelling of faerie I prefer, so I might have just remembered it that way. Still not me, not that anyone thinks it is... LOL<P>Hey Starpony!<P>Lor

OK I place a vote for CL. She is one of the old timers yet to be mentioned. Plus she dropped out of sight about the same time as the Card Fairie.

Oh, another voice not heard from for awhile-- Hi <B>Pahakissa1</B><P>Yeah cl has gone *missing* for the most part and she is a sweetie and she does have everyone's email and she seems to have a good memory...<P>...and I checked the spelling, "fairie" that's what worked in search...<P>

<B>Dylan</B><P>Shoot, that sure blew one of my theories. Crud! It did seem so like you...as <B>Patient Love</B> said so "Dylonesque!"<P>So that for sure leaves <B>Dawnetta</B> in the running. Remember <B>"Butterfly"</B> or <B>"Busty Butterfly?"</B>, well those creatures do have wings too! Hmmm???? Deep thinking here.<P>I thought I previously mentioned <B>CL</B> but maybe not. I know I thought of her too, <B>Pahakissa1</B>. You are right they did drop out of site about the same time.<P>I am also thinking <B>Terri</B> and I don't recall any denials on her part here. Hmmm??? Deeper thinking. <P><B>Lor</B> I was going to post it was indeed <B>the Card Fairie</B> but when I went to post, I lost is so <B>NB</B> beat me there.

I checked the spelling too ... and it was spelled "Card Fairie" I had spelled it originally as Lor spelled it above "Faerie" - and I'm a red-blooded US American mutt! That's because of my 'literary' background, which, as I understand it, Lor also has.<P>I'm just babbling here, thinking that I have not ONE clue who the Card Fairie was/is, and remembering that I didn't get a card either, now that you mention it. <P>------------------<BR>terri<BR><B>Courage</B><P>Whatever course you decide upon,<BR>there is always someone to tell you<BR>that you are wrong.<P>There are always difficulties arising<BR>which tempt you to believe that your <BR>critics are right.<P>To map out a course of action <BR>and follow it to an end <BR>requires courage.<P><I>Ralph Waldo Emerson</I>

Hey Sam!<P>Ok, I am going to say this in the nicest way possible...<P>You, my friend, are a "Find out who the Card Fairie is" addict!! LOL LOL Should we find you a support group? Oh, wait! This is a support group! Oops! <P>I really have no room to talk though. I did the search yesterday but just didn't post the links!! <P>I say we send out a search party for TNT!!<P>Mitzi

Hi.<P>I am crushed that no one thought it might be me. Could that be because I first posted as Liz Smith, who was preparing to whack the OW 30 times Lizzie Borden style, once for each time she boinked my h? <P>"Lizzie Smith took an ax<BR>and gave the OW 30 whacks..."<P>(the rest was really gross and I deleted it)<P><BR>My guess is Dawnetta, <P>BUT what about Taj? She admits to lurking before posting and seems like the greeting card type...just a thought!<P>Great to see you all here...an OLDIES/MB Veterans reunion of sorts!<P>(Yeah, yeah, I know how sensitive some of us are about age... BTW, I really want to see the Medic in Spandex.)<P>And about the Corona/nipples thing, isn't that in some R rated movie I saw on video recently? Only kidding, the churchmouse wouldn't watch that stuff...or would she?<P>Is 9:15 AM too early to have a Rum and Coke?<P>I'm graduating in two weeks, just finished my classes, the kids are in school, hubby at work, WHAT do I do with myself?<P>Maybe the Card Fairie will send me a graduation card? <P>I wanna know who she is!!!!<P>TNT please tell us.<P>Lizzie/POGP

Lizzie,<P>Actually, you were one of my "secret" guesses!! I thought of you and Taj. <P>Guess I was wrong about you, huh? Or are you just trying to throw us off?? Hmmmmm!<P>Good to see you!<P>Mitzi

We still don't know? Arggghhhh!!! And I have a busy day again today....<P>Well, thank you for all the good sleuths for keeping this going. Where is TNT??! <P>Anyone else know who the card fairie is/was and will spill the beans? Please?

Hi Mitzi!<P>I think I was lurking when the Card Fairie began, but not posting. Besides, I have always been too busy with college and three kids to keep up with greeting cards -- even to my own family!<P>TNT WHERE ARE YOU?<P>(sorry to shout)<P>liz<P>

Hey New Begining,<P>How are you holding up? I see you have done some major renewing of your life. <P>I think this thread has been good to lure out the old ones who have seemed to stop posting.

Ok ladies and gents, <P>You really need to find this illusive Card Fairie person. I just lost about 4 hours sleep last night tossing and turning due to dreams about finding someone skipping through this site passing out 'happy' cards to everyone here. <P>Is that crazy or what? So now, I am at work stressed to the hilt, trying to beat the clock on some tax deadlines with 'bags' under my eyes. Hey I am over 40 and don't need help in that dept!!!<P>Is all this whining making those in the know feel guilty and spill the beans soon?!?!?! I hope so, if I have another sleepless night, I will be back posting about it again tomorrow!! Howz that for a threat?<P>Only joking (about the threat, the dream stuff was real). Hope you ID her/him/them soon!!<P>L.

OK Gang,<P>I had a brilliant idea. Take note that I am running on very little sleep here tonight.<P>Could it be Dr H? I know that the CF has been thought of to be a woman, so I have already put that into the equation. Iv'e seen pics and he could certainly pull it off in a dress and a wig.<P>Not that there is anything wrong with that!!!<P>I know that I may, emphysis on may have tried on my Xs bra once or twice [never more than three times] and she got ticked because I filled the cups better then her, but, that's not important now.<P>WHO IS THE THE DAMNED CARD FAIRY????<P>I will now return you to your previously scheduled programing.<P>I still hold the title of VI!!!!!!!!!! <P>

I just had an 'AHA' (or it may just be that I'm overtired)<P>WHAT ABOUT TEMPEST?<P>Moderates the forums...and got too busy at the time of the restructuring to keep up with cards...hmmmmmmmmmm<P>lizzie's penny's worth...

Another restless night, but this time it is due to allergies. Can't blame the Card Fairie. <P>My 1st post here was if the Card Fairie's user started with a T and ended in a T and I thought that was Tempest. But being a newbie and not knowing all the history (I did some research), I thought that might be foolish. <P>Anyway, I lend my support to Alias' theory. I vote for Tempest. ........<P>L.

Hi guys, I love this post! I have been having a dreary day and this just really made me feel alot better. This is like reading a Nancy Drew mystery or something, LOL. I started reading it just to see what it was about and was caught up in the moment. I am glad to see that people here have a great sense of humor. I really love this place. I don't know who this Card Fairie is but DAMN after reading this whole thing 9 pages long I want to know too, LMAO!

Ok, grumpy here again doing the midnight watch. My allergies are acting up and I had one wacko night (Mrs Psyco Babble strikes again!). I will post about that separately. It is almost 2:30am here on the west coast and no word about the Card Fairie.......<P>Hurry up so I can get some sleep!!!! (only joking)<P>L.

I still can't tell who the card fairie is, but the explanation of the spelling is this (if I am remembering correctly). When CF went to get her email addy the regular spelling was already taken.
