....to begin thinking about compiling the rpca holiday card list.  Is
everyone up for doing cards again this year?  I don't see any reason I
can't put the list together. I don't have anything major planned that
would prevent my participation.  If someone else feels strongly about
doing it I can pass it along as well. It's the group's holiday
tradition, we should all have a vote in what we do.

I think I won't be able to participate this year. I'm off sick again
because of my hand, and I will probably not have my operation this year,
so it will get much worse before it gets better. And I still don't have
a printer, so would have to address the cards by hand. It's been hard
enough in previous years; I don't think I can make it this year.
Hopefully next year.

I agree with Adrian , even if you can't send cards, I'd like to send
you one Marina. Count me in my info hasn't changed.

Marina is such an intergral part of this group, I can't imagine *not*
sending her a card. I don't really care if I get one one back, and besides,
those on the 'receive only' part of the list should know that whilst they
don't have to send out cards for December 25th or thereabouts, that doens't
stop them (although they are still under no obligation) to send out cards to
the listmembers a few at a time throughout the year.

So, count me in again. Details haven't changed, except we now have pet fish
as well.

What type of fish? How big is your tank(s), filtration, etc?

its a '2 foot' tank (so 2' x 1' x 1.5' approx) in a custom made wood
cabinet.  I didn't make it the cabinet though (not that clever with my
hands) the guy I bought it from did. Poor bloke, he used to breed tropical
fish for a hobby and had fish tanks all over ht eplace, but he's had a few
'life' problems and no longer has time to look after the fish or the tanks.
So for the measly sum of $150 + an extra $20 for his fish, I got the tank,
all the accessories, plus the water & fish. Great!

So, what sort of fish? Tropicals. I have 6 cardinal neons, a bristlenose, a
black neon, 3 zebra danios, 2 cherry barbs, and 4 other types of   of
tropical fish of the tetra / danio type that I have yet to identify. They
are a pair of one type, with red noses and black spotty tails, a fish that
looks like a neon but has a glowing orange stripe down each side rather than
the blue, and one that I *think* was called a 'moonshine' danio - its sort
of pearly colourled with a hint an orange stripe and blue peraly hue on its
sides, and it hangs around with the danios rather than the tetras).

It also has a number of plants - of which I don't know the names of, they
merely came as a 'mixed bunch' from the shop.

Filtration is of the type that sits above the tank, water is sucked up,
forced through carbon filled filter and cascades back down.

Came with a proper glow light rather than a standard neon tube, too. have
had it for 2 weeks with no fishy deaths, touch wood, so I think its going OK
so far. I'm slowly training the Yowlet to look but not touch.

But what does Shmogg say about it? Is he interested at all?

Not even remotely. I really wish he into "kitty tv" but I guess all the
birdies in the backyard make better 'kitty tv' than mere fishies :-)

P.S I have identified more fish. Of the unidentified four upthread,  there's
1 pearl danio and 2 rummynosed tetras and still have 1 'mystery fish' that
is like a neon tetra but has an orange neon stripe rather than a blue neon
stripe down the middle. I'm assuming its some sort of tetra, but don't have
enough time to trip through all the fish photos in google to work it out.

Well, I feel terrible that I can't reciprocate, but I guess you're

Marina, I was going to make labels to put on my cards and get an early
head start to boot. If I made labels and printed an extra set, would you
be able to participate?

That would cause a lot of confusion for addresses in Europe, Australia etc.

Oh Bridget, that would be fantastic! If people don't mind that I may not
sign each card by hand. :)

Thank you so much. And don't put USA on *all* the labels. :)

Count us in, Julie.  But tell me how you sent the doc in the format you
did!  I could use that format myself but haven't figured out the
combination.

What format are you talking about Sam? It was a standard .doc file
wasn't it?

Microsoft has changed the .doc file format several times.  In general, a
newer version of Word can read a file created by an older version, but not
necessarily the other way around.

Yep.  It was a workable .doc file but when I opened it, it didn't come
up in a format with which I'm familiar.  Wasn't Normal or Page view.  It
was "something else".  If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't
sweat it.  It's not a big thing, after all.

Cool Beans!!  I'm game, and this year I might actually get some cards
sent out.  Information is the same as last year's.  Julie, you've
lasted longer than anyone else on this gig,  The average is 2 years
and you're on your third.

It's easy for me because you and Bridget and Grace had the list so
well organized to begin with.  For some reason last year I forgot to
send out an Excel file, I'll do better this year and send both a Word
and Excel file for easier label making.

Do you mind if I add you to the Receive Only list? Like Marina, most
of us have your address from years past and will send to you anyway,

I'm in.  It's the same address as last year, if that address is in
Indianapolis (please let me know)

The kitty situation is different from last year, though. I'm still
"unsupervised" (*I'm* ready, the time just hasn't been right)
