Frustrated!

I hardly ever post on here, but I really feel like I need to now. I have enjoyed being part of this program and I signed up to do it again, but I am very frustrated. The person I send to rarely acknowledges my gifts or e-mails. I don't expect a huge thank you and I don't expect her to love everything I send, but some kind of appreciation would be nice. I know she has received everything because I always use delivery confirmation. I realize people are busy, but when someone spends a lot of time and money sending you a present, please acknowledge it. A simple "I got it or thank you" would be fine. Sorry about going on like this. I don't think I am the only one this is happening to though and if you don't have the time to respond to a gift, I don't think you should be in this program again. I hope this doesn't offend anyone. By the way, my buddy who sends to me is awesome. I wish I could keep her forever! Melissa

Melissa, I agree with you totally. I think people can be so rude and that is a shame...Even if they do not like the gift they should still reply. I am in this for friendship and as long as I know I am doing my part then I feel good. Hopefully your new buddy will respond more. I am sure everything was appreciated that you sent. ~~hugs and well wishes~` Chris

Melissa... I can understand and relate..I recently got a secret pal and since have sent several things to her and I couldn't tell you if she got them or not because I have not seen a single post from her acknowledging she did...but...I know the gifts came from my heart so I will leave it at that... Happy Thanksgiving

I know just how you feel Melissa I have not heard from my pal ion months....its almost like she jsut fell off the earth. My secret pal that sends to me was gonna send me something last Oct.....still waiting as I see. Guess she lost me too--maybe I can start off fresh this time too. becky

Hey Becky, Me too I have not heard from my secret Pal in 3 months now.I posted that I hope everything was ok but I did understand if she could not send me a gift.But still nothing.I hope she will let me know who she is at least.I guess I will find out the end of this month. Hey did I tell you how much you are missed. I miss you so much. memaw pat

Me too, Melissa. I think that the person I buy for must not think. She has only responded once or twice to my annonymous s/n, which she has. It is ok if she does not like what I send, in fact, I wish she would tell me and I would try to do better. However, I just wish she would let me at least know she got it. Carmen

I agree totally Melissa....my secret pal is a no show in the thank you department too....I don;t expect her to fall all over me, but an acknowledgment would be nice! It seems to me that is part of the purpose of sending these small surprises, to form an on going bond or friendship, however small it might be, to add a little extra support to our weight loss journey! I checked the profile for my "pal" and she has been on here and updated, so she could take a few minutes to drop a line and say Thanks or whatever! I've sent little extra's in between our normal gift sending time too...no response.. I really enjoy the program...but I agree with you totally! *getting down off my soap box now*
