Yesterday my sister and her husband came over with the baby. At one point my sister's husband put the baby in my arms. Now my cat (whose possssive of my lap) saw was sitting in the chair next to me and saw this and perked her head right up. She was just staring at the baby from the chair, when my Mom came and took the baby for a while my cat jump out of the chair and quickly jumped into my lap. My Mom then came and put the baby back into my arms with the cat in my lap. Now my cat is trying to figure out what this thing is and is sniffing it. My sister is just laughing. We should have taken a picture.

Lori I know its hard to decide what to do, but sometimes unless there is a valid reason..ie..sickness, computer going down or bonkers or things like there..There really is not a reason to NOT be able to send a thank you or a PM to let you know what is going on..Diana
I'm kinda bummed right now that my Pal never got back with me on her package. I even sent a PM to her to make sure she got it. I hate putting in time, money and hope on these packages and never hearing a word. :( Maybe that is selfish of me, but why participate if you aren't going to fully participate. I'll sign up for Dec and hopefully that one will go better. |
well if you get me for a swap partner next month, i promise to get back to you with a pm.:)

That's just wrong.It's so rude too.No your not being selfish to want to know the person recieved their gift.This months swap was complicated by the new format of the site.Some people even left the site altogether.So many were upset not being able to send or recieve e-mails and it took so long for some of us to figure out how to find the swap again.I hope it isn't so bad this coming month.I really feel for those who don't hear anything.Please everyone PM Lori if you can't hold to the rules.She will make sure your pal isn't left hanging,but you need to let her know.

Mary - Your NEVER to old to go back to school even if it s for your GED.
When I was 26 I went back to school to get my GED, the year that I got mine was the FIRST year that the Community College in Hickory, NC was offering cap & gown graduations. One of the ladies who stood next to me (alphabetic order) was 82 years old. She had been working for 5 years starting with ABE (Adult Beginning Education) than moved on to the GED classes. The funny part to her story was NOBODY in her family knew that she had been going to school to learn how to read and write. So for Christmas 1991 she had passed her NC GED tests, she made photo copies of her certificate had them framed and gave them to her kids, grandkids and great-grands for Christmas. About March 1992 everyone who had passed their GED exams in the previous year received a letter inviting them and their families to attend the first cap and gown certificate of completion ceremony. Mrs Ginny was named and voted by all 186 taking part in the ceremony as our mentor. Sadly though she passed away 3 weeks later of all things a car accident.

carrot / crafty darlene / Gigi07 / girlsfour / grammyj / happynana / havplenty / hoppa / Jennalyn / Qwilty Lady / Pennyj123 / Quiltingbee12 / Sheil -in Erie / SLHughes / sulabug / tedytrser / wenot. I have asked for and received the dates all these packages were mailed except for 2 people (3 packages). |
I cut everyone some slack this month because of the change over to the new format and did not ban anyone. You can call me Scrooge if you want to but if you break the rules about sending the 3 messages this month you will NOT be in for January. I will no longer tolerate rude, ill mannered people who do not even send a private message to thank the person who spent the time, thought and money to give you a personal gift! I am sure that every one of your mothers taught you better. Also being late to mail your package unless you contact me and I am aware of the problem, will get you banned for the next month. I taught myself how to do a spreadsheet and even learned to use color coding so be forwarned, you are being tracked by the hostess!
