The PT "book" project?

Count me in,
Wom - I am not sure but I don't think there are many Aussies ..... :D

Just a note to everyone - please note that ANY food stuff that MAY be included on a page - like a piece of kibble, means that Australian customs will send the book right back!!!

NOT that I think you would put a piece of kibble or dog treat on a book, but just in case ...........

OK, it sounds MAD, but ..

moving on.:)
Cheers Richard - great idea!
M

We'll work it out Capt. If all the other Aussies get it first, then send it around, make sure I'm the last on the list so I can get it over to Carole in NZ with postage back to USA for her included by me.

Oh, and yeah.....Capatain has a good point there. Aussie customs are really heavy on foodstuff, seeds etc coming into the country.
So none of that stuff.....k ????
Last time I was stateside, the customs grabbed me on the way back for carrying a necklace of Indian corn seeds that had been dyed. I'm sure the corn seeds were years old, as I bought it in a trading post down in Ark. But they confiscated it anyway. Just goes to show how strict they are.

Should we compile a list of what order the book goes in then? And maybe make a list of the date when it will be shipped out, or when it should be shipped out I should say. I like organization :D

This sounds like so much fun!

Captain, Carole and Wom,

I have a second book that I was thinking of sending out to the Foreign Lands.

Maybe you Aussies first, then maybe we can coordinate the Europe contingent????

(Captain, I'll take the book next door and rub it all over the pit bull that lives there-that will scare 'em?)

------------------------

Roxy, I am going to list the people as the responded to the thread. I think that's fair and gives everyone a chance to think about what the want to do. I am hoping that everyone can turn the book around in 3-4 days?

Let's see how things go?

So, whenever it's our turn for the book the previous person will PM for our address and then we have 3-4 days after we receive the book to do whatever in it? That works!

I know I'm late to this....can I play, too?

I am not sure i would participate, i have no idea what we are supposed to do, i was just enquiring for the others overseas, but thanks for thinking of me, i appreciate it. cheers.

I don't know what I'd do but would be willing to participate. Hopefully there will be several that will have gone before me and give me some ideas.

Moe,

Anything....you want.

Carole,
Put a photo in? Paste a postard of you town, city? draw a little bit.

PM,
Of course you can!

Either that, or by carrier pidgeon.

No, scrap that last idea......we have some Brits here, and I think they eat pidgeons.

I have to laugh-

We have a politician in a bit of hot water here in the states.

He was cheating on his cancer stricken wife and had a child with the woman.
Apparently there is a XXX tape of the two. Last night, a woman who knows the "other woman" spoke on the tube to some reporter, Her name?

Pidgeon.:rolleyes:


I'll send you a PM.....

I think PM-ing addresses would work nicely. Although... I've always wanted a pigeon so I think if we used carrier pigeons I'd end up keeping one :D

LOL and a private message too?;)

Many years ago, I made a book about another forum I visited a lot at that time. I had written some articles on several aspects of that forum, and also asked people to contribute their thoughts re. these subjects, and they were posted in the book as well. As far as I remember, there were also photos of the board members. However, the book was not published as a printed version, but as an e-book available to download for every member. Just a thought...

HI Richard, I think I would like to participate too if it isn't too late. What do I need to do to participate?

Not too late.

The book will come to you in time, with a few dollars for your postage.
You just need to draw, paste, write what you want to contribute, add a few bucks for the next person's postage and mail it off!

It's more an investment of time and knowing what you want to put in to the book. I don't want to put any restrictions, other that the Four Page rule because I am curious to see what people do with space and creativity!

Yes, it is a PT project, so pets are the reason why we got together, but I like to think of this as a personal taste of who you are.

Thanks and you are part of the list now!

:D

Richard, definitely a private message to :D.

I'm so excited about this book, haha. My girly handwriting will be imprinted in the hearts of PT forever :rolleyes:

I'll be very excited to see what everyone is doing! FUN:D

I think this is a great idea, but since I'm so new here I don't feel comfortable participating yet. :( I'd like a little more time getting to know everybody before I feel I have the right to contribute.

So, that being said. If the first round is successful, will you do it again?

As for it being available online to view - my personal opinion is that it should NOT be available until it is complete. That way you can have the whole experience at once, and then it also might encourage more people ( like me ) to participate in the 2nd round :rolleyes:

Feel comfortable !!!! Nobody is going to bite you (well maybe one or two will, most of us here are really old and don't have any teeth anyway, so it wouldn't hurt)

LMAO, Wom!!! It's a good thing I didn't have anything to drink in my mouth right as I read this or I would've ruined my keyboard!

I´m on the same boat...:D :p

I already have a few things in mind that I want to include. This is so much phun. :D

Did ya start yet? I've been away from this post for a while and need to catch up. . .

Richard you already have my address, right? I could always send it by carrier parrot. . .

I'd love to participate, but I'm away from home 2 weeks at a time. I would hate to hold up the progress, but I sure would like to see it scanned in for those who couldn't participate.

The book has been sent out.:)

This is the list of participants so far.

This list may change because I have to check on who posted ideas and who physically wants the book!

I am trying to PM the people who have posted but not have commited to receiving it.

IF you have any questions about the book, postage or ????

I tried to answer questions and coordinate things without making this too complicated! Some info is in the first posts on the thread and others will pop up, so if you can read it from the beginning, your question may already be answered there!

Some of you have sent your addresses to me!

You are on my xmas list now! What I would like is for people on the list to look at who is 'above' them and send that person their address! That way it saves me a step and you will get to know the person ahead of you.

I will continue to prod and push the book along. Getting people involved is fun and I don't mind doing it.

So. If anyone is on the list and doesn't want the book. Please let me know so I can make those changes and if you get the book need help to pass it along let me know.


Also,

I want to stress that there is a small donation that need to go into the envelope for the next person to use, then they need to replace it for the next person.

I am looking at 3-4 maybe five dollars to keep it going, I know people are generous and will add to the 'postage fund' to continue with this project.


I cannot emphasize this enough!
Please read the list carefully and if you do not want to get the book, Please let me know so I can make the changes to the list.


Thanks!

Well, a grimace with blackened gums is just as bad as an actual bite you know !!!!

How will we know who gets the book after us and their addy? :D

I have the book now, and Richard sent me a PM with the person's name, and we PM'd for her address.
