Linda,
I have only been taking part in these swaps for a few months and I never ever thought that you had an alterior motive. I am always so happy to read your comments on the different arrivals in the different swaps. And the little things that I sent you was because my heart told me to and I try to listen to my heart because I feel that it is God telling me to do something! So please don't let that other message trouble your heart, you my friend, have enough to deal with! My thoughts and prayers are with you!

OMG. Did someone seriously write to you (Is it on the thread? If so, I missed it. I am assuming it was in a pm.) and say they thought you were in it for the "goodies" you might get????

This really upsets me. (Infuriates is a better word)

Linda, I totally understand where you are coming from. I have my own health issues that cause memory loss and brain fog. No where near what you are going through.

I can see you stepping away from this swap as one too many. You have to take care of yourself. What I find intolerable is someone attacking you. I am sending you great big, GENTLE, hugs. I am sorry anyone would say something so hurtful to you. Don't let that one (hopefully not more than ONE!) bad egg spoil your custard. Some people live to be mean.

I have never understood it. There are many, many, many folks here who love you. Just remember that.

Wowza, is that a panel on the end there? That is awesome.

Good afternoon. Just an update that another person with swap experience has graciously stepped up to run the swap! I'm sure she'll be posting soon so I'll just leave it at that except to say you'll be in great hands I'm sure! (Heading back to my Booms now...)

LOL, Janice. You're so funny. If Brat wants me to pick up and run the swap for awhile, I'd be glad to do it. I'll leave it to her to give me the 'official' thumbs up. In the meantime, let's continue to support Brat.

I feel really sorry that Brat received such negative comments/feedback.

Brat,
I can't say what I'd like to here, because I don't want to be booted off this board which I love.
But I do want to say, why are you letting someone else run your life, my sweet friend?? One person does NOT speak for everyone. None of us are that important...not even moi .
Sorry, but that's just the way it is...

I feel like I'm being punished if I'm not allowed to send my friends, including you Brat, a lil special surprise every now and then. So please don't ask me to not send you anything. Just please, don't. I'm not rich, I'm probably not even middle class...But by the grace of God, I've got what I need.

This includes one of my joys in life: this board. And the wonderful friends I've made here. And sometimes I send lil gifts, sometimes I receive them. So it works out. If I couldn't afford to send, or didn't WANT to send, I wouldn't. Plain and simple. And I don't think a thing of it if someone can't send things. That's not the point of ANY of this for me.

This last month, I myself have received several "angel" pkgs. Most of you know about my hubby and his being in the hospital. I don't know how words can express what the pkgs I've received have meant to me...including the cards, too. And the pms...

My lil granddaughter often stops by, when they come over, she brings in my mail. If there's any type of pkg, she brings it right to me and says, "Here's your CARE pkg Grammy!". Mind you she chose that word. Out of the mouths of babes. And she's right. They're pkgs full of "care". So much more special than ANY fabric!!

I'm sorry (well not really) but I'm not about to ask anyone to not send me something. Nope, not doing it. Matter of fact, I hope I get more pkgs! Because that shows I have friends.. ME! I have friends!!
What a lucky gal I am!!

I'll hush for now. But please know I waited a long time to be able to do stuff without asking permission from my Mom (insert cute humorous grin here), and if I want to send something to "someone", I'm sending it. And if "someone" refuses it, I shall be more than hurt...way more than hurt...Plus I'll have to find somewhere to put back whatever it is I sent. Not good...as I'm trying to keep the "Hoarders, Buried Alive" producers at bay. Don't make me be on that show...

Love,
Kif

Brat, we all love what you do for us. Even if we don't tell you all the time. we'd be lost without you and all you do for us. We overlook the memory loss, hey we all have it, so I forgot that you forgot. fell better and don't let this ruin your good sense of humor and loving nature. I appreciate all you do for us. We wouldn't have all the great swaps if we didn't have you and people like you who give of your precious time. thanks.
