hi all, it's come to my attention that there are some of us who were in the exchange that have not heard anything at all from their partners.
we know it's a busy time of year and many things keeping us from replying, being busy, being ill, etc. But , sometimes the person on the other end does this exchange for many reasons, if they are lonely , to have contact with others, or perhaps to make new friends. Or perhaps they are going to move to a new province and would like contact to get to know others . Sometimes it's the only gift they received from anyone.
we ALL have busy lives and things that go on. ..my mom died this year on dec 14th, i had to fly home for the funeral and i still sent a quick email to my partner telling her i'd miss opening day and why and i would acknowledge when i got back which i did.
Your exchange partners wanted to be in this exhange to do something nice for someone else and yes to get something nice too.
So folks, no matter how busy you are, and when you are well if you were sick , could you not take the time to acknowledge your xmas xchange partner and say thanks
There were people here last year that did not get a gift from their partner and were sad and upset by it.
Well there are people here now who are sad and upset and hurt that they did not even get a thank you.
how about it folks? This was supposed to be a nice thing not something to make someone unhappy or sad or hurt.
Termit has gone out of her way to make this special for us and it's not up to her to ask folks to acknowledge.
