question - please explain

Hello everyone, I have a question...sorry if it's a dumb question... I am new to all this.... Just a few days ago I was assigned a "pal" I am really excited about this.... I just found out she is about to have her surgery....I wanted to send her a card...it that OK? Of course I just will not sign it... Also, when I mail my monthly packages to her.....do I just not put a return address?? Thanks, Ann

Some do put their return addresses on them and some don't. I normally do put mine just in case it does not make it to my sp. Also, when I send a card...I just sign it "your secret pal". I had a sp once that signed her card to me using the name "Rainbow Brite" which I thought was very cute. There are no dumb questions... always feel free to ask questions. Most everyone is so kind to help. Carmen

Thanks Carmen!! I have another question....... I notice some people have a screen name that says "AnnsSecretPal" so they can send messages and the person will not know who they are... how do they do that? Thanks for your help!! hugs, Ann

Thanks, Ann, for asking these questions! I'm sure you're we're not alone in wondering. Connie in CA

Ann I made up a false name on a new account so that I could send messages to my secret pal. I also added my infomation to my 'pals' information that I had saved on my computer so that I would not forget my sign-in name and password. Hope this helps.

Also Ann, if you go to the post office, they will not let you mail without a return address...however, I go to my local Mailboxes 'n More to do my shipping...they know me very well and they were kind enough to make a Secret Buddy address label just for me...so I can remain secret.
