Today is the 24th, All packages should be on there way to your Secret Pals ! If not, Please do so ASAP. Also if you could please post when you mail/recieve that would be great.

After MUCH thought, I have decided that this is NOT working out. Alot of bickering, People making nasty posts, etc, I will NOT continue to host this. I put alot of work into this and feel pretty hurt by it all. I can deal with my feelings hurt, What I cant deal with is people writing me telling me all of the sudden they cant " afford " to mail their package, Posts about feeling out of the Clique, Nasty emails to me, etc. I was just trying to do something motivating For all of us. I feel its turned into a disaster. So if you wish to continue with your secret pal, please do so, If not, please send the one and only package that was due out on the 23rd. I AM not bashing anyone, making excuses or any of that. I enjoyed getting it all together. I do feel that if you joined the swap that you should be sending at least your ONE package, afterall , it would not be fair for one person to get one and one to not.

I am so sad to hear that this went badly - I was looking forward to being in the next one. I completely understand you wanting out - to work hard on something to benefit others, and then have some of them have the unmitigated gall to criticize or back out....I'd be FURIOUS!! Those of you who did this - SHAME on you.
Now someone will probably be mad at me, but I don't care.

Thank you for your efforts, SC!!

Sea Im sorry this is happening to you. I appreciate the effort you put into this and am having a grand time picking out things. Already getting stuff for my next package. I have no intention of stopping until Xmas as planned.

Seems some really like to be ugly in email huh? Thats a shame. We are all ADULTS right??

Anyone wanna send me nasty mail go for it. Just lay off Sea! She put a lot into this and it is supposed to be fun!

And yall wonder why I dont post much anymore.

Hi Sea! I am so sorry you have been having such a time with the phen pal thing. I honestly think it is a great idea you started. It is so fun waiting for something other than a bill in the mail...I just did post on Robin's Who is not a secret pal and I realize that may have hurt your feelings. I am always impressed with people who take the time to start something like this. You are obviously a motivated and hard working person. I don't visit the forum every day and I missed the post about the unhappy phen pal. It looks like a lot of people are excited about the gifts they have received...but what is so nice is they are even more excited about the gifts they are giving. I guess you can tell I'm a "glass is half full" kinda gal. Hang in there Sea and if you are really feeling down...scroll back and count the positive posts about the secret phen pal exchange...I think you will find that they out number the negatives by far....

Take care Sea!

Hi again Sea! I just saw Nitra's post when the page refreshed...Nitra, way to prove my point about people being more excited about giving than receiving!!!! I also realized Sea that I never actually apologized for possibly hurting your feelings by being silly in Robin's post...If I did make you feel badly sea...I am so sorry...you have been so gracious in this forum and I truly did not mean to hurt you...Take good care Sea!

I can't believe you got nasty e-mail. I had fun shopping for my pal, and I am going to continue to send as planned. It was and still is a GREAT IDEA!!!! I think you did a wonderful thing and I hope everyone continues as planned, but I will not be offended if I don't receive anything. Please don't let "some people" ruin it for everyone!!!!!!

Sorry that you have been blasted in emails, Sea - you certainly don't one deserve that. You tried to do something that was positive and (once again) the negative vibe that permeates this forum messed things up again! You did a great job and you are to be commended. It was a tremendous effort and I hope that you know that.
All you can do is the best you can do ... but the best you can do is enough.

Sea,

I don't know what happened with your secret phen people. I hope my topic didn't have anything to do with this. I think what you started is great! I was the one who told you guys to go to Rena's site and get this started over there because J & J weren't going to let the email exchange go on here. I think it's wonderful to see how many people are doing this. It's great support!

I'm just in my own little world in that other topic. That is a bi*ch topic. It's rainy and cloudy over there. I'm pi$$ed at Jipi! If I said anything in that topic that makes you think I was making fun of your Phen group, I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to do that. This had nothing to do with anyone here besides John and Jipi. My saying my topic looked the best meaning ... the stars****. It was my way of getting over what Jipi did to my topic be editing my words. He still didn't win! I can forgive him this way. That's all I meant.

Have you noticed how all of the weird people are posting in that topic? It's kinda scary
