Love those birdies, ctyankee!
Lynnie,
I never meant to make anyone feel like they need to "air dirty laundry". I actually don't think being on a fixed or limited income is "dirty". Many of us are in that same "load of wash" with you girl!
I'm like JuneBillie in the fact that as fast as you are some of us might be mediocre or slow speed. I think that's what she meant (not sure as I don't want to speak for anyone but myself), and I know it's what I meant. It's just 2 different sides to the same coin. Like you feel bad if you can't send "extras", it's the same deal with feeling rushed because someone else is done before names are swapped and asking what's next month's? I think that's all that was meant.
Before Lupus and caregiving took over my life I would've been right with you. Now I'm with the tortoise watching the hare speed on by. It's been a lesson in patience learned for me. And I'm still learning it.
I also won't speak of this anymore. As the old saying goes, "Don't beat a dead horse".
Thank you Teresa and anyone who hosts these swaps. You all are true treasures in my quilt world.
Regards,
Kif
