Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, the day has finally come! :D
:bounce: For most of us today is the day to send our lovely Support to Ms Bonnie Hammer! :joy:
Our current total is 278 bras!
(Hell we are already cleared the 200 mark! :D)
So here is the poll where you can leave confirmation that your Suppport has gone out :D
I will give a number of options, as lots of people plan on sending more than one care-package :)
If you send six or more, leave a message here with how many! That will keep the poll at a reasonable size and Hell! you deserve an entry in the Hall of Fame!! :bounce:
One last thing: Please hit the poll only AFTER you sent, so we can get an accurate estimate :) There is a link under the poll you can follow to see the results without voting!
Alrighty then, let's Show Our SUPPORT!!!! :D :D :D
Love and Peace and BRA-Scape!

ROTFLMAO at the header!!!!!!! :rollin:
I mailed in 9 bras and 5 were brand new. My bras were sent for myself, 3 people from the UK, and 5 more from the US (I think.) All demographics - older moms, younger students, 30 year old singles, a wonderful mix.
And I'm sure my husband will be thrilled that they're no longer sitting on the kitchen table. :eek:
Edited to put that I spent $50.85 on breast cancer stamps. I used flat rate envelopes which cost $3.85 postage each, plus another $1.35 for one signature confirmation, and then a book of stamps (for personal use.) Total of 93 breast cancer stamps used on all 9 envelopes:angelgrin

I sent three brand-new...one RED for Sikozu, one BLACK for OBRHG, and one BLUE for Chi.
And in honor of spring, I'm wearing my white lacy one with little itty bitty flowers today...in sunny California!

I sent one (black lace, thankyou). With a "Save Farscape Canada" button pinned to one of the cups (the one with the slogan "Sex, Love, and Weapons of Mass Destruction" -- not sure if my bra counts as a weapon of mass destruction, but what the hell). And I wrote "Unsolicited bra - Save Farscape!" on the customs declaration, and it's all in a clear envelope.
Wish I'd had a scanner handy. But it's gone!
(Hm. You reckon the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" bit will raise the alarm at Customs? Oh well, too late now...)
(Edited to add: and I'm in leopard-print lingerie today in honour of the occasion.)

And I'm wearing my dark blue jogging bra because it's comfortable. I'm a no-thrills, cotton only kind 'a gal, except when it comes to mailing shiny metalic green, gold, blue, and red lacey ones to Skiffy.

We have sent in four. Three friends asked us to send for them. Clear mailers from Office Depot, Demographics, And the demographics were written on the printout of Aeryn that Ratscape made up. Ended up buying alot of Breast Cancer Awareness stamps that didn't go on the packages because our Postal Lady needed to use the meter stamp. We are in a small town and boy did we surprise our Post Office!

I'm sending mine Priority - to get a delivery confirmation - so I can't mail it until Wednesday or it'll get there too soon. :( I won't vote on the poll til then. Besides, I can only afford to send one - but it's INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH (18 hour variety) <BG>. Oh, and I put a "Private and Confidential" sticker on the front. <VBEG> DESPITE the fact that it's in a gallon size ziploc bag and the whole WORLD can see what it is! <Snicker!>

Oh yeah, I forgot that although I sent three envelopes, there were actually four bras (the pretty blue/grey floral ones that I got in honor of Chi were on sale, so I got two and put them in the same envelope).
So technically, if we're counting bras and not packages, you can add one more from me.
The lady at the post office thought it was great. I used Ratscape's poster showing through the back and the "Bra:Scape" labels just above the mailing address.

Am I correct in assuming that people who sent them for other people sent them in separate packages with that person's name on it? Cause we're nearing that hundred mark if we are....
Other wise we're still at 30 packages which is pretty good. You need to put the addy for this up at the Dom as well some people did decide to do this from there.
Forest Farm2
03-17-2003, 04:34 PM
Yes on the separate packages. And with carefully labled demographics in each one. and farscape stickers.

Same here for seperate packages. I had a card-sized piece of paper with demographics, another with "Women Support Farscape" and "Farscape or Bust" another with personalized stuff along the lines of "I am a Woman. I am a mother, a friend, and a and active member of my synagogue. I am a leader in my community. I AM FARSCAPE!" Also included the Time article with the pertinant text in bold red, and topped the whole thing off with ratscape's drawing/poster on pink paper.
MO - if you sent in 4 bras, but only in 3 packages, then count 4 bras. It's the quanity that counts :elol:

I sent mine out today, I'm an odd size (A bra that actually FITS and is comfy is gold to me) so I bought a cute leopard print one from a food-bank thrift shop. I figure the good karma of buying from a charity, using breast cancer awareness stamps AND donating the bra to a charity should help our cause!

On a related note, how bout when Farscape does get picked up, we send them a "portfolio" - paper, Power Point, video, etc. of all the women Scapers (I'll burn what I've been sent to CD and keep it on hand) with a message like, "We are the Fans <we'll get men too> of Farscape. We can not thank you enough for taking on the lots of nice words show of Farscape. We are your demographic and we will support your network and its advertisers."
A lot better than that obviously, but the whole point, aside from thanking them, is to up front prove to them that they've got their viewership from the demographics they want. Put an immediate face to who's watching.
Just an idea. Off to search through the whole WSFS thread to get pictures of bras. <I just said that, didn't I?>

Okay, I finally sent mine off. Got to the post office just before closing. Made it under the wire...so to speak. ;) I only had one spare to give to the cause. But, it did look quite nifty with a big, pink mailing label made with ratscape's amazing graphic. I also did up a little graphic piece about myself that I stuck to the cardboard backing, peeking behind my looma lifter. Between that and the usual stats and stuff tucked into the cups, Bonnie (or whatever SciFi peon gets the job of opening all these envelopes) should end up quite edified. :D :D :D :D
aeryncrichton
03-17-2003, 08:00 PM

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that two more are on their way. One from me, and one from my bosom buddy. :)
It took 11 Breast cancer stamps each-and the Post Office guy kept trying to dissuade me from using them; it wasn't the stamp, it was the number ( I hope). But I kept insisting they were for a good cause.
The envelopes had two rows of lovely stamps plastered across the top.
Thanks for the bright spot in my week ladies!!!
Carmen.

Yeah, she tried to talk me out of using those as well, for the space (tee hee) issue. I would not be dissuaded! Two one the way from Louisville, Kentucky! One for me, one for sis-in-law whose bras cost a bloody fortune and can't give one up! And yes, they are my nursing bras! So there! Never let it be said that the demographics of science fiction fans are ONLY 30 year old male virgins. I'm 37, female, and mother of two (since my name is NOT "Mary, Mother of Jesus"!!!!!), thus proving, I'm not a virgin! This has been a tremendous blast, even if my whole entire family thinks I'm nutty. Well, there actually are MORE reasons than this that they think I'm nutty, but that's for another thread!!!
Lots of love and prayers to all of us!

She took one of my Watch Farscape cards and wrote a note to herself not to miss the repeats at midnight. I LOVE THIS SHOW. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

:rollin: I'll send any network any item of my clothing that they wish if they'll just pick up FS!
I sent 2 supportive packages today, one for me and another on behalf of Chani in Austria. One bra was leopard-print and one pink with embroidered flowers, and Ratscape's fab "FS or Bust" flyer looked great on the other side! I even used the "BraScape" sticker that mycattoldme posted in the Aeryn Go Bra'gh Instructions thread. I only just realized that I neglected to put the web address on the package somewhere, so I'm kicking myself now. I did put a "watch FS" blurb on each with the channel/times, though. Wish I had a digital camera or scanner to display my handiwork. But wow, I've seen some very colorful and eye-catching packages here. Obviously we have some very artistic Scapers!
The P.O. branch that I went to was totally sold out of the breast cancer awareness stamps, which was a bummer for me but can be interpreted as a good sign, I think. The postal worker at the window was probably in his late 50's and just had to ask about the significance of mailing bras in transparent packages. He then wished us luck in setting those suits straight! He even watched where he placed the Priority Mail and Delivery Confirmation stickers so they didn't cover up anything important. Go, USPS!!! :aok:
Susana
03-18-2003, 10:24 AM
Okay, how are you mailing these packages that it's taking so many stamps?!?!?
It took me 9 stamps to mail all three of my bras, ( and I didn't even go to the counter, I bought the stamps from the vending machine, and stuck them in the mail slot).
Also, if anyone has been given a hard time for mailing your bra, I would seriously suggest that you write the US Postmaster General in Washington D.C. and complain. The clerks have no right to make moral judgements on what you are shipping through the mail. In this time when we are hurting so badly for business that the USPS has taken to selling customers addresses, doing anything to scare off customers is a BAD idea!

03-18-2003, 10:25 AM
whoa, okay if I'm not counting people twice, we're at at least 162 bras now (the 1-5 counts in the poll, nine from messages posted here on behalf of off-line peeps, four of the six "six or more" accounted for in the pages here and another two that I couldn't find but am just substituting 6's for). And I haven't voted yet b/c I haven't sent mine in yet. Mwa ha ha ha! Brascape 2003. Whee!
Edited to say: Priority mail for packages up to a pound costs $3.85. That's 10 Breast Cancer Awareness stamps plus a fifteen-center to boot (my fifteen cent one is "Buffalo Bill Cody" -- not keeping with the theme but eh, what can you do?)

03-18-2003, 12:26 PM
Add my 44D slinger to the list! :P
A clear envelope holding one bright satin purple bra with the green BraScape sticker, and Purple Women Support Farscape sticker around it. A white label on each cup with "Farscape'' on one and "Or Bust" on the other in black ink. A letter, a copy of the Times article stuffed inside and Ratscape's Aeryn poster on the back.
Diane, my postal clerk, got a real kick out of it and was very impressed that we were taking a stand against Sci Fi!! She held it up so the other clerks could see it. Everybody wanted to know about this show that was getting my bra!!! Luckily I took my shoulder brief in with me, I had one flyer. They promised to watch this Friday.
I sent my bra Priority mail with signature confirmation(Diane highly suggested it) - Total cost $5.65! She placed the labels as not to cover up my stickers and gave me a receipt to show for proof of purchase. Bless her, I will take my extra copy of the Premiere DVD to her tomorrow.
Out of the 10 people around me I had one complainer. A guy in line next to me rolled his eyes and said there is more important things going in the world than trying to keep a tv show. I commented by saying "yes your right and I'm taking a stand for those as well!" and held up my breast cancer stickers. Jerk!
All in all, everyone loved it!! A few more people know about Farscape and will watch and the name will be spread from TN to NY by my package!

I posted before with the number, but I hadn't mailed them at the time.
I just did.
I sat in my car for a few moments with my bag of packages and I was thinking: "What the HELL have I done!?!?! I am going to be mailing BRAS in CLEAR ENVELOPES. Am I NUTS??"
It was one thing to buy them, (I sent in two of my own, both black, and bought six- a few purple, two green, one with butterflies- and I never realized how boring my underwear drawer really is compared to what I was sending), and the supplies neccessary to mail them, but to actually go in with them all done up... I admit it, it took a few minutes to gather the nerve.:rollin:
But I did, and they are gone- on their way to Bonnie, and I lauged my head off in the car all the way back to work. I'm still grinning. What is wrong with me??:rollin:
I'm just glad I am not alone in my madness. :ewink:

I cheated. On one side my package looked completely normal, with breast cancer awareness stamps, addresses and priority mail stickers. On the other side it had some Farscape business cards and two bras stacked one on top of the other, seen through the translucent purple mailer. All of the decorating was on the top bra in marker. Since it was no good for donations b/c I'd written all over it, there was also a very simple (read: boring, what can I say?) powder blue Vicky Secret bra for donating to the women's shelters. These were taped to a cardboard back with a note to donate them, and the Time article was wedged underneath them with a few comments from me.
I think mine may get there a day early, though. I may have jumped the gun for travel time. Ah well, better early than late, I suppose. *sighs*

Only one extra? For me it was 3 extra minus the 5 cent one. For the 8 that weren't delivery confirmed (sorry) it was 10 stamps plus a 5 cent old car and a 10 cent time clock one. My clerk was really nice and spent a while making sure how many stamps to put on each envelope, etc. :-D I used opague Flat Rate mailers 'cause I didn't have the guts to mail them in clear or translucent envelopes, so the clerk didn't know. Most of my post office's clerks are nice, but a few leave a bit to be desired <and luckily the worst is retiring soon.>

Put mine in the mail just a bit ago. I have a little bra ("no wire hangers!", no padding), so was able to put it in one of those zip up clear pencil/pen holder thingies that can go in a 3 ring binder. It wasn't as nice as some of the ones I've seen here on the board, but I did have our BraScape assorted slogans, website, watch Farscape, etc hand written on it.
I took the package to the campus post office, where they must see all kinds of stuff mailed. I admit, I was sweating until I got the female post person, as opposed to the Asian (foreign) man. No offence to Asians, or men, but he didn't look like he had much of a sense of humor. Anyway, the woman smiled and said, "You want to send it like this?" I said yup. I asked for breast cancer stamps and delivery confirmation for the Priority Mail post. She tried to carefully not cover up the slogans and the bra, but there wasn't much room on that tiny package. I ended up with 10 breast cancer stamps and the rest metered, and that covered a _lot_ of the front of the package! It came to $5.10. Do we have someone who is or willl be collecting our receipts as proof we all did this thing?

Now let me preface this by explaining, I live in a SMALL town - really small......

- my ultra religious Hair Dresser (she thinks I'm crazy.......).
- the assistant from my dentist's office.
- the owner of the Dairy Queen.
- a high school friend.

I don't think it's a big deal if they get there early. Better early than late right?
I mailed my packages priority mail--less than a pound and it came to 9.90 I didn't ask how much the break down was. BC stamps are .45 cents plus priority mail.
Anyway, the clerk at my post office wasn't trying to dissuade me from mailing bras, I had them wrapped in really pretty tissue paper and nice stationary so he didn't know what I was sending. I think he was just suggesting that I could use a regular metered postage stamp and have one big stamp, as opposed to 11 stamps making a lovely rainbow across the top of my package going to a network president. I think he was offering me style tips.
Hope that clears it up.
Thanks for joining me in the madness. I'm so glad so many of you are following through. I would feel like a complete git if they mailed my two (Mine and my bosom buddy's) back. "Here are your bras lady." I would be mortified.:rollin: :rollin: :rollin:

Last couple of days have been really great and awful at the same time.
This made me freak out because we (tribby and I) were overcharged and treated like crap when we went out our bras.. and just grr..

I agree -- I went ahead and sent mine today because although the website said 2 days, with the weird packaging, I thought it might take a bit longer and I'd rather be a day early than a day late. I suspect they will be getting a steady stream for a few days, with hopefully the bulk arriving on Friday.
And Chaym, I don't know why the difference. I just looked at my receipt and the clerk charged me $0.55 for the delivery confirmation and $1.29 for postage. I just sent the one bra in a clear interoffice mailer-type envelope. Didn't have too much stuffed inside other than the piece of cardboard to hold the bra in place. Could simply be that I got lucky -- the clerk didn't impress me with his knowledge of our postal system or the computer register so he could have very well undercharged me :)

Sent five out today for my friends and I!
My teenage daughter ask to go with me to get the packaging tape, then freaked out while I was taping them up in the Walmart parking lot. She was afraid the hot pink one would attract the attention of someone she knew!:D
Once we got to the post office (in another town--she was AGAIN afraid of being recognized!) she decided to wait in the car. The flesh-colored one looked too "naked" for her! I told her to be thankful I didn't put my notes on pink circles! :rollin:

I wanted to send out two but there wasn't enough room in the envelope (didn't have a see-through one - no time to pick up Ziplocs :( ), so I just sent the one - should *just* get it there on Friday.
I could still send the other one, but should I bother sending it if I know it will get there later than Friday?

Priority Mail, actually, is minimum $3.85 BUT, if you download their "Shipping Assistant" software (from www.usps.com) you can get Delivery Confirmation for FREE! Also, it gets you a label, complete with barcode, so all you do is attach it to the package, add the stamps and DROP IT IN THE MAIL BOX.... no embarrassing trips to the counter. LOL! I'm sending mine tomorrow because I have found that Priority Mail is VERY fast (one day, in some cases) and it promises 2 to 3, so mine SHOULD be there on Friday.
Jules ;0)
My little postal emplyee (another Jim) looked like his face would break if he smiled. I too live in a rinky-dink tiny town of approx. 4000 people. I handed him the first three I sent out Monday and he asked if I wanted a box to put them in. I told him that they were to go as is (gallon ziplock bag with bras taped to cardbord) and he looked down and realized what they were and started to giggle like a little girl. It was hilarious!! He started telling me about how his brother wrote in to NBC in the 60's for Star Trek. He said that he would give his brother the web addy for our site and that he was gonna go there tonight himself!
I have new friend and he knows where I live. LOL. I think I should be scared now.

I AM more than a pair of pushed up loomas in a corset!
I am woman! and I am FARSCAPE!
Apparently, the folks at the Royal Oak post office have seen everything cause no one even batted an eye. They just suggested taping the edges of the bag (I ran out of tape at home) and got a little tiffy when I forgot to say I needed to put the breast cancer stickers on until after she printed the postage sticker. Oops. But she was nice enough when she realized what was inside the bags, and that I had a specific purpose behind using the Breast Cancer stamps.
Man, I want to go send another one tomorrow! You guys are just cracking me up!
And a note to anyone who is timid: You have already proven you are a unique and intelligent individual by being a Farscape fan, and a woman. Be proud. Don't ever let anyone make you feel less than wonderful for being who you are!
I love you gals!

I wish I'd gotten to have some fun! I'm getting my laughs from everyone else's stories, certainly not from my own adventure. Post Office Man didn't even seem to care that there's a huge picture of a woman waving a bra flag on the front of my envelopes. I tell him I want to put breast cancer stickers on it, and he gives me the evilest look for mis-speaking, although I quickly say that I mean breast cancer awareness *stamps*. He doesn't care, and points out where I can find them. I stick them on. I ask for priority stickers on the back of the envelope, too, and he quickly places them in a way that covers a few things up before I can say a word. And if he noticed at that point that I was mailing bras since he'd just put stickers right on top of them, he'd be damned before he'd actually acknowlege it. Grrr.

Just came from the post office. The clerk (male) wanted to put the pkg in a box and I said. I'd like to send it like this so it can be seen I flipped it over and he started laughing. And said "Oh I see." Then he figured it would take 15 breast Ca stamps and a meter stamp for $.25 to cover priority mail and signature confirmation. Total postage $7.00 even.

I struck up a conversation with the clerk and he had never watched Farscape...I briefly told him what had happened, what we were doing and wrote him a note with the date for the beginning of the reruns, the time shown and the channel number for Sci Fi...also included this web address...he said he would check it out!

I think she really just wanted to go home, it was the end of her shift and she wanted out, but I stood before her with three bras asking for delivery confirmation and BCA stamps!
I sent off one for myself and two for my buddies - JeraJdai and whatchamacallit - all priority mail and since I'm not that far from NYC they should be there on tomorrow or Friday!
I'll put photos in the photo thread!

But thanks to this campaign I am going to be buying those breast cancer awareness stamps for any of my out going mail.
If I hadn't heard about them here I never would have used them. When I went to the post office the other day, I saw the poster advertising them stuffed in the corner behind a fake plant. Jeezz. They advertise as bad as Skiffy....

Had a REALLY crazy day getting all this done, but I stuck 11 Breast Cancer stamps on that baby and sent it priority mail. It should be waiting for Bonnie Friday. :finger: I sure wish we had someone on the inside to let us know their reaction, and I hope they really take the time to donate them to a shelter.

Well, mine went out last week, but I just learned about this thread today. ROTFLMAO - the poll is just too funny.
Wish I coulda sent more than one, but $$ is pretty tight for me right now. Mine was a T-back which I adorned with Farscape stickers that read things like "I support Farscape!" "Women Love SciFi" and my personal fav, "It's not a bust, yet!!"
What a beautiful idea. I'm picturing Bonnie with a mountain of bras in her office. hehehe. I'd also bet she's never seen a bra before either. My theory is that she's both (Austin Power's voice) "A MAN BABY!" and a 30++++ year-old virgin to boot!!

Well, I mailed two out on Monday via priority mail. One for me and one for my sister. (She just snorted and said she wasn't mailing her bras all over the country, but I knew that she secretly wanted me to mail one for her as well.) The post office person told me it would take 2 to 3 days, but my experience in mailing stuff to the NYC area suggests that Monday was not too soon.
I had a lot of fun doing this, and I LOVE seeing all the posts!

Hey, funny story...Went to pick up videos for sis-in-law at Suncoast, saw upcoming dvd releases w/FS on it, looked longingly, clerk saw longing look, asked if I was FS fan & if I realized that Fri was last ep (OK, I didn't yell, WE'RE TRYING TO SAVE OUR SHOW!!!), but nicely told him to check out this site and WSFS thread and what I and a bunch of other fans have done. Entertained all around (with a couple of sidelong glances and hurried purchases :rollin: ) and maybe have another convert as well. The look on the guy's face behind me was priceless. Here is this respectable looking woman with two young children in tow, talking about mailing pieces of underclothes to a network exec! Thought his face would fall off!!!
Also, the lady that took in my bras at the USPS laughed her fanny off and said that she would watch!
Oh, another thing, I added to my list of snappy sayings "Watch the show that inspires so much viewer support" (my hubby got a really big kick out of that!) and had the date & time of Fri's ep.
Lots of love & prayers!

O.k, posted this once in another thread but thought I'd better post it here too since ElectricLandlady pointed it out. (thanks!:aok: EL!) Here's my bra-scape story...
Sent in one from me and one from my bosom buddy today! Also 3 others that were given to me to send out from scape sis and rorykern. They were sent Priority Mail and I got delivery confirmations for all 5. I took large padded envelopes cut out an 8"x11" square and taped one of those clear view document holders to it and then did the bra/ratscape picture arrangement inside. Also, I printed up ratscapes aeryn go bra pictures in 4"x4" and taped them to the front where the address goes. When I handed them to the guy at the post office I could see he was dying to know what the frell was up so I said "It's part of fan campaign." He giggled. I explained the Time article and all that and he giggled again. He was blushing a bit too. I think he was more embarassed than any of us would have been! I wasn't embarassed at all, in fact I was hoping all the people in line were paying close attention.

You know, that's 246 from those of us on FMD alone. I wonder how many others are going from other sources? It could end up being like that scene in Star Trek, with Kirk buried in tribbles....
Bwa ha ha ha ha
I mailed my two bras today. Nothing fancy - just two plain white, sturdy bras I didn't like.
I had a pretty good experience. When the female clerk asked if I was mailing anything explosive or dangerous I said no, unless you consider this dangerous - and I flipped up one of the packages, showing her the bra. She laughed! And then had to pick it up and look again!
Then I had to tell a quick version of what the story was. She was very careful to put stickers where they would not cover any of my stuff and had a good laugh about the whole thing.
I practically skipped back out to the car and laughed for the next 5 minutes while I was driving.

03-20-2003, 11:53 AM
So right now we're at a count of 267 bras, which I think is A LOT of support... I don't think I'll need that much support throughout my entire life!
But, yeah, this count includes the exact 6+ counts and additons people have posted about. However, I'm thinking this is a lower bound, because not everyone from al the other boards bothered to come over here and let us know and I understand there are plenty of people who don't usually post on boards, but are still very supportive <snicker> of the Campaign :D
And yeah, I've been having this picture of Kirk buried beneath tribbles as well, basically since the onset of the entire thing and it still makes me giggle :D
I very much hope that Ms Hammer takes all those bras (and half a dozen people to help her carry them <snerk>) and drops them all on Mr Jackson, giving him a sidelong look, saying "You wanted me to bring in women? Well, HERE you go!" Hehehehehe. Maybe Barry Diller decided to step down a few days early to avoid exactly that happening to him :D :D :D :D
Probably not, but the idea puts a much needed grin on my face... The Diller running from a flood of bras he knows will be arriving soon!

Mine has left the New York City post office (Your item was processed and left our NEW YORK, NY facility on March 21, 2003.) so it should be delivered today - hopefully with 10, 20, 30, 50....100 others!!!
Looks like they update the usps web site every night so I won't know delivery times until tomorrow.

Daniel,
:hi:
You should probably make your suggestion to Tiriel :bounce: or one of the other organizers.
I envy you a little having two "new" seasons to look forward to. :D

Just checked and mine was delivered and signed for by poor A FAISON as well.
I was feeling sad about the state of the world and tonight's episode, but my package made it and it's a gorgeous day in Houston, so... :bounce:

Enjoying cool, breezy, sunny, blue-sky Houston while it lasts!

Maybe we should send some kind of thanks to this poor A Faison person...unless of course he is a herterosexual male in which case I think we've sent him all the thanks he could possibly want from us.

Sorry, gang! Sabacean Babe told me to get my eema over here and add to the tally but I've only just remembered!
I mailed two priority with BCA stamps on Wednesday. Just a pair that I bought new at Target. I'm sure they'll make Bonnie very happy.... NOT!
However, I had a thought. After the ad runs tonight there will be many newbies to the cause wanting to do something and it occurs to me that a flurry of late bras would not be a bad thing. So I'm going to mail a couple more tomorrow. <heh heh heh> Poor Bonnie! Open mouth, insert foot! :help:
Hugs and chocolate kisses!

Hmmm, I requested delivery confirmation but haven't received anything back. Is there something special I have to do to find out when mine was delivered?
DoA - did you do delivery confirmation through the US Postal Service or through FedEx?

Enter your tracking # on their website - both USPS and Fedex will give you tracking information (it's an extra charge service for USPS though).
WOO HOO
I sent 2 - made it with perfect timing:

My item was delivered at 11:59 on 3/21/03 to USA Network and signed for by E Major
EDITED to ask: Did anyone let the shelters know what we were doing? Has anyone heard back from them?

Hey, I was around there at that time. Looks like the postal service doesn't deliver through the front door. lol!
Mine were signed for by "A. Faison"

Nope, for office buildings they use the loading dock entrance when available.

Has anyone done a recent count and/or done an estimate on how many bras were sent from fans on other sites? Just curious to see how many past 300 were sent.
And also agree that new folks should go ahead and send in their bras. Let Bonnie have another Fun Friday!

I'm thinking we made it way beyond 300. The count here got up to almost 300 and I know a lot of this spread by word of mouth or email-lists from which we get no feedback :)
We should probably try to foolow up with the three charities we named to see if any or all of them actually received a donation... although we should probably give SciFi another few days to revel in the Scaper Support :D
Love and Peace and Hope :)

I sent in 9. 3 for me and 6 for bossom buddies. I'd love to know the final tally. Anyone have any final figures??? My delivery confirmations were all on 3/20/2003 :( even though the PO said they would not be there till Friday. Drat! How typical for the postal pixies not to deliver when they said they would!!!
