Someone else will have to

take over the secret pal thing next time.  I am so sorry, but I have had several people explain to me that I did not do a fair secret pal round.  Therefore, I will not do this again.  I hope I am not hurting anyone, but someone much more qualified than myself needs to do this.   I don't have the time nor the energy for the criticism and backlash that I have gotten lately.   This is just plain silly and childish.

I will not defend myself because as I explained before, I did not select the pals, I did it on a program on line.  

I am not mad at anyone.  I hated to post this now with all this other stuff going on, but someone needs to take this over soon.  The one that is currently going on will end on December 15. 

Thank you to all of you who have been so supportive of me and been great secret pals.

It was fair and square on my end !! And I think you did an amazing job!!  All this back lashing needs to stop!! If you Criticized Carmen then you need to take the job!! And you can reap the rewards of all that money she got paid for doing it !! See how the shoe fits on the other foot!!

(((Momma)))
I love you!!
You are such an awesome person and inspire me!
What do you need??
I'm here.. don't know if I can take the flaming or not myself. But I'm willing to try.
Sounds bad though.. shame shame.. this is suppose to be FUN!!

THEY ARE SILLY AND CHILDISH--not you Carmen.  You should not stop because oif them.  THey should be ashamed of themselves--you have done a GREAT JOB!!  YOu should continue this.

We Love you Carmen!! and the great job you have done.

On top of all that--you can not please everyone.  WHo ever does this will have someonethat is not pleased with the job that is done.  UGHHHHHHHHHH ..I am sorry-this just disgust me when this happenes to a good person.

I loved doing it Becky, but it takes a lot of my time and it is just not worth the hassle.  No, the people fussing sure are not going to head it up.  I am just stepping aside and maybe someone else will do a better job and make these disgruntled people happy.  I love you and miss you!!!

Carmen,
YOu did a great job , BUT I UNDERSTAND completely . I too, would let them have it..
Lordy, since they think it unfair, why not step up and run it their way and see just how fair it is and what everyone will have to say about their efforts.
You went above and beyond on my behalf a couple times and I know you did others...so, I completely understand your position.
I appreciate ALL YOU DID and think you should be commended ..
Hugs

I do understand Carmen--and beleive me I understand---its not worth there fussing over this nonsense.  You know what?  If you will help me get it started I will gladly take it over when the time comes. You know my cir****tances -- so you know then I do have the time.  PM me if you want to discuss it.  Know that you are a great person and you have done a great job--THANKS !!  Miss you lady!

Good morning my friend!  I HATE that you are going through this.  YOU KEEP DOING THIS AND LET CHILDREN BE CHILDREN!  You know me!  I say expose them on the board with their Email to you!  I hide nothing!  LOL

I love you and I am praying for you..........AND FOR THESE CHILDREN that have nothing better to do..........

Randall I would this time, but they sent everything anonymously.  They forwarded me emails from three different email addresses that I do not recognize telling me that they were so disappointed in me for "choosing peoples pals".  You know...John told me a while back to drop it, but I wouldn't because I wanted to at least finish.  Then when Rhonda was unable to take it back over (and she has good reason not to), I thought well...I would give it another shot and maybe people would settle down.  However, there are people, who are suppose to be adults acting like 5 year olds.  It is just not worth it.  This is a program to just lighten up someone's world once a month and I am not going to allow it to darken mine.  I honestly hope someone else will take it over.  I just can't.  I love you!!!!

I gotta say.. I know you love me.. unconditionally.. even spoil me with it! (or maybe it's cause I was never loved like that before)
With that being said... I know you don't PICK pals! My first secret pal never contacted me.
I got assigned another pal. And I'm not complaining.. I've had good pals and sometimes people get caught up in their own lives.. I know I do. I wish I could spoil my pal more. But with being sick I can barely do what I do -- sometimes sending a gift card and not personalizing it.
I believe you have done a great job, showed no favor to anyone and treated people the way you want to be treated. No one could ask for any more.
I love you and sometimes you need a break! You do so much Momma!!
And I hate drama myself but it always finds me! lol

THANK YOU!!
