If you're lost, read the "Luz is in the hospital" thread.
Post your "VJ Friends" who have your contact info here. The main purpose for this is so that in an emergency, these people can communicate with the board what is going on with you. For instance, people were frantic wondering how Luz was doing. With a few people who have your cell phone #, they can get updates and post for you while you're away. Also, if you disappear from the board, they can check up on you to make sure everything is ok.
My contacts are:
charlesandnessa
Crikey!
Natty Bumpo
LaL
and Mags, of course.

I'm thinking we should see if the Captain can add a link to our profiles that would have our contacts. Then we wouldn't have to find a thread with the info and page through it.

A somewhat simpler option might be to merely use Facebook, since that can project one's phone number to only "allowed" parties. I know there's a VJ FB group, but of course, that'd require everyone to sign up (if they aren't already on there) and divulge their true identity. Some people may not wish to do that, which is very understandable.

Not really. I think the best idea is to spread it around a little bit. See who is already listed here and then maybe contact some of your other friends who aren't listed yet about it. I'd also say keep it to a maximum of 4; otherwise it WILL be just a BFF list.

Once again, I find that very understandable. However, you do know that you can set the options on Facebook so that your phone number (among other details) are only visible to those on your friends list, correct? I'm asking because these options aren't immediately apparent nor are they extremely intuitive.

Yup I know about them, but many people on many friends lists are not people that we know personally. Hence my not having my phone number on there.

No offence meant for the VJers who are on my friends list - I love you all!

Hey Steve, did you sell that Dryer yet?
QUOTE

A funny story. I bought this dryer from another guy but he had advertised it as an electric dryer. He had it in storage and we were blocking traffic when we got there, so we quickly loaded it up into the truck. I didn't notice that it was actually a gas a dryer until I got home. I rented a UHaul and he was 20 miles away, so now I'd rather just try to sell it rather than spend anymore time or money trying to get it back to him. I paid him $100 cash on Saturday. I'll take $60 OBO or willing to trade for an old toaster oven. One of the plastic floor pegs is missing and it's got a few scratches on the top, but otherwise looks in decent condition.
