Ok, I started sending PM's with my donor's address, but the system will only allow me to send 10 messages per hour.  Should I just post it here and be done?

No, don't post it publicly. You never know. Just send in an hour, or if you need help, let me know!
Are you send it with multiple addresses at the top of the message? There should be no limit, I think.

Oh, I was sending individually.  I'll try it that way in an hour.  Thanks okarol.  And I got your message, but I couldn't respond to that either.  :)   Thank you so much!

The card is signed and sealed.  I don't know if I should mail it tomorrow, Saturday the 31st or wait until Monday the 2nd to mail it from California. Trying to get it there on the 5th.  Anyone have any ideas?

Just googled it.  It says 2-3 days.  I will mail it on Monday.

Thanks again everyone!  I told my husband to "avoid her call" until Wednesday or Thursday.  I know she'll figure it out when she starts getting card after card, but I don't want to have to explain or "play dumb" if she calls on one card showing up.  I want to wait until she starts getting a whole bunch of cards!  She's going to be shocked!    :2thumbsup;  She didn't call today.  Maybe tomorrow!!!   :rofl;
