cmon and join us. you know you want to.

BTW, Honchey, 30 is the maximum number to swap, but if you want you can do less. This is the first swap where the number was increased to 30. Prior swaps had a maximum of 20. I think Mariposa is a glutton for punishment, that's why she upped the ante.
Come join us!
