i'm tryin to become a member, but paypal won't accept my credit card charge because my country is not listed.
would anyone be interested in a trade.. i order stuff from amazom.com all the time.. if there is anything you'd like i can place the order for you and in return you can register me up in dpchallenge.
i think you can send a gift code so that your registration card remains invisible... i would send you the stuff first and upon receiving it you can proceed with your end of the deal..
or if anyone has a better idea .. please let me know

You can try contacting the admins to make alternate payment arrangements.

I have PMed you the gift membership code.

I don't have any purchase I am about to make, so here's an alternative.

I don't have the opportunity to travel much, so I haven't been out of the US (or very far from home for that matter). Just pick something from your country and send it to me -- anything at all, completely up to you.

My daughter turns 10 in a few weeks and my wife (I had better not tell you what she turns) has her birthday a couple of weeks after that. You can make it something for one of them if you like.

Address is in the PM.

I didn't say I was going to make it easy on you, now did I. :D

It is completely up to you what you send in return.

Should be something from a Pharaoh's tomb. Maybe something old & gold.

What about an Ankh necklace each for mother and daughter? Or their names on papyrus in hieroglyphs? Or eqyptian cotton goods?

Or a beautiful set of photos of Egypt ready to frame? There's plenty to shoot over there ( we got through thousands of shots when we were out there!)

Just some ideas from a female point of view.
Well done David!

But I'm not going to pick. :D

The choice is yours and yours alone -- there is no wrong choice.

But since the subject came up, my wife's name is 'Stephanie' and my daughter's name is 'Jadzia' (we call her 'Jazz'). If you need any other information about them (or me) to help make your decision just let me know.

Yes I know I'm not helping -- if the roles were reversed I wouldn't have a clue what to get either. But that's what makes it fun. :P
