Sheri,
That is odd, when you know someone is acting out of "character", so to speak. But I still wonder why they can't at least pm our hostess, Brat in this case..and let her know. Now I understand dire emergencies happen, so please don't think I am all heartless....I also know some people are super busy with work, or out of town, but if that's the case, maybe they need to take care of life first, then come back to swaps. That's what I did for a couple of months after Christmas. I also have swappees I don't know if they received my fqs. I don't want a gushing "Oh you're amazing..." But a lil, "I got your fqs, thanks." and I know they weren't lost.
I also don't think any hostess should have to chase people down..that's just not fair to the hostess, either.
Sorry if I am overstepping...I really think for the most part I am a nice person...really...
K
