christmas card swap 2006 list sent

[Husky_mom]

I'm sorry that no one received a card from me. I told those who were running it that they could delete me from the list earlier, but they said they would leave me on it.

I didn't have the extra cash to send you all cards from the M&M's and I because Molly had to get several tests done and have surgery.

I was disappointed to hear that several members were concerned about me participating in the gift swap. I guess I can't blame you, though.

If anyone would like me to reimburse for the cost of the card and shipping, please PM me.

yes you told me, and I suggested a virtual card which you could post here, because of the $$ issue and you said it was ok, but I haven´t seen that either........if you didn´t had the money you were not expected to send but at least have the detail to do as I suggested, as in a Thank you way.........

I think the concern mayorly is because if in the gift swap, whatever problem arises and you back down, your recipient will get nothing (not that we´ll let that happen) and in the card swap even you sent none we still got cards from several others.........IMO

I don´t think anyone wants a reimbursement, I think it was money well spent, at least for me, I loved giving/sending cards, and if I don´t get the rest I won´t go asking for reinburments to the ones who got mine........

sorry if I sound rude, I´m not trying to at all.........just to leave everything clear

maybe you should save a bit for when the swap begins and a little extra for shipping as it may be you get a foreign or overseas swap.......and be sure to follow through.........JMO

Alright. If it would make everyone happy, remove me from the gift swap. I can list a few people who would be JOYOUS if I was removed.
I tried to apologize.

oh... I didn't know that. I'm sad I'm not going to get your card I was looking forward to. awhell, you're welcome anyway.

I hope you're not gonna leave.

A drama queen?

We had tests and medication from our vet before we went to the humane society. The EXPLORATION was not free, but the respaying was.

I was told by KAREN to post this in here, so I suggest you shut your trap.

Catlvrs: had issues, but said she would still send as soon as she got $$ (posted in this thread around pg23-24 i think)

I will be sending mine out soon just had to get situated with just getting the job and moving. Had to catch up on some things! I have all the cards done just need to get the stamps and they will be out! Thank you all for understanding!

It'll be fun to get one more card whenever it does arrive!

I know Corinna would just be thrilled that such idiocy is being brought to Pet Talk and in this thread.

I am glad you are still sending them. It certainly will be a joy to receive it!

We can certainly understand. It was tough getting mine out, as I spent nearly $900 on Mufasa (my new puppy) alone just last month. And then I also spent an additional $200 or so on flea medications and treatments because he came infested with fleas and gave them to my other three dogs and our house. I HOPE *knock on wood* we have it under control now.

Thankfully, I was still able to get them out, even if they were a few days late. But it's always fun to extend Christmas and I don't think it's right not to follow through with something like this.

I received Isabel's last week and it was so cool. It's crazy how wierd the mail service works. It was also neat to see the Mexican stamp.

My mom rolled her eyes and said "You're STILL receiving cards?!?"
So, when your's comes I'm sure she'll be especially jealous. Thank you for still sending them, and don't worry about them being late - as long as we get them!

It is so interesting............I was thrilled with each card that I received.

But, I didn't go back and check the list to be sure that EVERYONE sent me a card. I just assumed that if I didn't get a card that there was a good reason behind it. Things happen in life and sometimes you cannot keep a promise and are embarrassed to say so.

This has happened before with the Christmas card swap - some people just couldn't get the cards out. But it never spoiled the wonderful cards that I did receive or the season and spirit of our exchange.

The gift exchange is different - if one person is counting on receiving a gift -
then that is important and you shouldn't sign up unless you are positive that you can afford to do it and that you want to do it.

But NOTHING should spoil our beautiful card exchange that took place in Corinna's name. She wouldn't want us fighting over it - for sure!

xxoo to all

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Oh good grief! How can something so lovely turn so sour!!!!!

I didn't write a list of who sent me a card and who didn't - it was just wonderful to receive some What would Corinna think of the bickering eh?

[borzoimom]

Good grief- now I am glad I can not take part- I do not need the raised the blood pressure.. I think I will just stay a poster and NOT someone involved in any swap. ...

[Husky_mom]

I just made the list to keep track, and to help me notice if someone has had trouble or something.........it made me realize a few members that haven´t been around lately and made me wonder if they were ok......

I´m happy too with the cards I´ve received........it I get them all.....GREAT......but if not (for whatever reason) I´m happy too as I was a part of it.........

I totally understand if someone can´t send, but it´s nice to know as of why *I think*.......

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

OMG so much anger . Isn't even a nice sweet thread like a cardswap safe for fights anymore?? Good grief

I wanted to thank you all for the christmas Cards,They ment alot to me,I know i did not give that in return and i am sorry for that,It is not like i ment not too send any in return,I have been through alot the last month that has prevented me on doing anything.

Most of you know,For the ones that don't:......


Decemeber I was not feeling well,was on the couch for 3 days,in the weeks prior i lost nearly 35 pounds,i was being treated for pneumonia,I was soo sick for 2 days before i was taken to the hospital,I had no energy every time i stood up i would fall down,I was taken to emergency i thought i was having a heartattach,I was having trouble breathing,Long story short I have been diagnosed with type 1 daibetes,I had sugars at 48...I was in a coma,and near death,So i was totally misdiagnosed....

I was in the hospital all through the holidays.

Now there has been some concern with the gift swap,And im not here to start a fight,I have no intentions on recieving something and not doing anything in return,The Card Swap i missed with good reason,I was hanging on to dear life.

I'm fine now,Struggling my life has completly changed,But i am able to go on now,I was a little upset yesterday when i got the email about your concerns,All im asking is for another chance,I did not skip anything on purpose.

The decision is not up to me but i do hope i can perticipate in this gift swap,
Again Thank you all for the cards,Next year i will make it up too everyone
