christmas card swap 2006 list sent

[anna_66]

I just wanted to thank everyone that I've gotten a card from and thank those who I didn't (so can't wait to get yours Isabel...maybe mine is *still in the twilight zone...LOL!.) It's the thought that counts right? I love you all
Now can't we all just get along

And, as an aside, I happen to recall a certain person making noise about other stuff involving exhanges, that, frankly, I didn't see a need to post at all, yet, I respected their rights to post it. It is one thing to talk about embracing differences. It is quite another to live it. If you don't care, GREAT! I do care.

Quite right too!!! Well said!!!! Oooops it was me

(and before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, Johanna and I have been pming each other and all is well with the world )

Lori Jordan,

Don't feel bad because you didn't send cards! I am happy to hear that you are getting better now

So, next year, we'll wait for a card with a picture including all your lovely dogs, OK?

[sandragonfly]

lori, your post made me sad, you didn't had to apologize!! I'm SO glad you're feeling all better! just a little darn we're not going to see your lovely dogs. I'm sorry if you were removed off gift swap - if I were the swap director, I'd give everybody a second chance for this reason. I just hope you GOT the cards when you were IN hospital!

yikes, cataholic, she's gini, I thought you were talking to me! sweet gini, we all have different expectations in this swap. I check the list to make sure not any of cards got lost in mail. I almost lost three of my packages last christmas and it felt really suck! so, when we see the names on list, we are expecting them to come unless we heard something else happened, right? I'm sure you would be disappointed if half of the cards never came.

I'm sorry this is a bit old, I'm glad you edited your posts vela, they were hurtful to read especially calling person a name when a person is already feeling bad and trying to offer something else. I'm at least happy she got my card through this rough time, it's nice thing we could do for her. and for corinna too.

captain and kfamr, I still would like to know what card you sent so I will know if they did came! I've looked over everywhere for them and I don't usually lost things...shucks if they got lost in mail..

[Husky_mom]

I also kept a list to keep track of MY OWN cards........but glad to know what happened to the ones that hadn´t arrived.......I think letting you know they hadn´t arrived would make anyone think "hey I did send it, what happened?" and not meant to be like "hey you didn´t send to me ".......just to let everyone now what happened with their cards while onthe "twilight"....LOL

Lori: I know what your reasons were.......you don´t need to apologize AT ALL, I think we are smart enough to understand and just be there when you need us.......((hugs)) and don´t worry about the gift swap I think you are welcomed to join

and on a brighter note........

I got two more cards!!! YAY!!!

muchas gracias Karlyb and thank you Captain adn the spotties.......lovely lovely cards.......

hopefully more and more of my cards come out from wherever they are

[sandragonfly]

sorry about my inbox being full, and I did read your first PM.

I hate to state more here but it has already started here. as much as we prefer, you could have emailed me if you had more to say, it's in there. I was talking about your first post too and I felt it was fair for everybody to see my this morning post since you made a public post too as well as you did it again now. I know it was a bit old but I didn't get a chance to post the night I wanted to. and I believe I am allowed to post my opinions/thoughts/feelings anytime anywhere I want to as long as I don't say anything harsh.

so, it IS personal to me when someone's just so rude to somebody else. especially when someone did the similar thing to me. I've lived with enough with rudeness and I hurt when I see my friends hurt. like you said in PM, she is mad, and hurt and upset. JOYOUS -- it makes all sense to me when enough people made mistakes after hers, because she wants to be part of this big family she (and everyone) deserves.

frustrated. just that I read your post after I got an apology PM from bcmom for not getting her card and I wanted everyone to read me here too. I'm sorry if you didn't liked it.

we can continue this here or there but please email or wait a few minutes until I clean out my inbox, thank you.

[Husky_mom]

can't wait to get yours Isabel...maybe mine is *still in the twilight zone...LOL

I so hope.....:P send a big hug and a kiss to your kids......

I sure been missing your 2007 calendar......

[ramanth]

Actually Gina.. I never got a card from you.

[Cataholic]

I didn't get a card from Gina, either.


And, Vela- for what it is worth, I am in complete agreement with everything you have posted in this thread. I would have been incensed if someone told me to shut my trap. (LOL- just continue to do it behind my back, if you please). So, don't you go anywhere!

[sandragonfly]

quoted by vela
Whatever ... Have a nice day.

I liked you. I just got an abrupt PM, I don't want to continue there. I said I'm sorry IF it was unnecessary, I was referring to your very first post here. PMs doesn't always works, why do I always have to feel cautious at what I say here.

yes ramanth, 9 of you (9 last in the list, I think) didn't get my cards I couldn't finish last time and mailed them out yesterday so you should get it soon. but cataholic, you should have gotten my card.

edit ~ sigh. you keep editing, vela! I read and was replying to the original one -- it's not fair for us. please think twice before you post anything.

[ramanth]

Gotcha... will keep an eye out for it.

[Husky_mom]

Come on you guys........let´s be nice and stop being rude it´s not worth it......

some thing were said and some one felt bad but let it go........come on.....

let´s keep the joy of the card swap as it´s meant to be......sending and receiving cards form our friends all over the world.........

I know at least 20 of my cards haven´t been received and I hope they do soon.........and I hope the recipients are aware of that, so they can let me know when they get theirs.......(that´s why I have a list, not for anything else)

[Vela]

You are right Husky Mom, I am going to delete every post I made here in this thread, just because this is not the place, not because I don't stand by what I have said (which by the way was NOT a bunch of name calling). I made a mistake in posting here, I want this thread to remain nice for Corinna in her memory, so if anyone has anything to say, please PM me.

[borzoimom]

okay- I may have no right to say anything as I was not in this, or the coming gift swap either- but I will say this- after reading how ugly this turned, how feelings got hurt- count me out of all swaps but the compliment thread....
For God sake Lori was ill, BC mom got hit hard the whole month of december, and instead of sympathy, I see an attack.. The others- well I do not know- but from the point of a reader of this thread, NEVER will I join a swap.. And I am deleting my " kicking dirt clods" I cant join the gift swap.. To me- none of this is worth it and highly juvenile in appearance..
For God sake- we should hold each other up- NOT kick them when they are already down...

[borzoimom]

as my grandmother use to say " not all comments have to be said.. " And I am SURE I am not the only reader to see this, that thinks the same way.
I didnt know Corinna very well- but the pms I got from her were positive, loving and caring and never finger pointing. ...
