Ok.. I am about to ask a STUPID QUESTION...

How does one obtain a secret pal???

Just fill out the questionnaire and send it back to me at: [email protected] and I'll assign you for the next month. Agreement By signing up for the OH Secret Pals program, you are committing yourself to an assigned Pal for the duration of 12 months, beginning January 1st, 2007. You are expected to send your assigned Pal a gift equaling $10.00 or more, before shipping, on or by the 15th of each month. If for any reason you find yourself in a situation where you can no longer participate in the program, please contact me immediately at: [email protected] and you will be removed, no questions asked. If cir****tances change and you wish to rejoin the program, providing you had held up your end of the commitment prior, you may be re-added to the program. All gifts should be received by the end of each month, regardless of location. If you have not received your package by the 1st of the following month, please contact me so that I can contact your sender. Please be patient and do not contact me UNTIL the 1st of the following month. If you have not sent out your gift by the 15th and have a valid reason for delay, you MUST contact me by the 15th so that your Pal can be made aware of the situation. If you have not contacted me, and your Pal has not received their package by the 1st of the following month, you will be removed, and a new Secret Pal will be assigned as soon as another is available. I understand that cir****tances arise and you may not be able to contact me, I will do my best to work with you once you return and are able to fulfill your commitment, however I can not promise you will continue with your originally assigned Pal. If you do not receive your package, this is NO reason for neglecting to send out your own Pal's gift. I absolutely will not accept this excuse, and will promptly remove you from the program. It is encouraged although not mandatory that you try to keep yourself a 'secret' until the year ends reveal. You can do this by simply registering a new 'secret' account on obesityhelp.com. If you are interested in joining the program, please copy (ctrl-C) and paste (ctrl-V) the following questionnaire into a word document and email it to: [email protected] Please title the email: Secret Pal Questionnaire. Pals will be assigned in December, and gifts for your new Pal should be sent out by January 15th, 2007. This really is a great program, despite a few hiccups here and there but I will do my very best to keep things running smoothly. I look forward to spending the next year with all of you! - Anissa Secret Pal Questionnaire OH screen name: Surgery Date: Name: Address: City: State: Zip: E-mail: Birth Date: Do you have any children?

I sent in my info a couple weeks ago, and I know I wont get assigned until Feb,,,but will I get any kind of confirmation? Or will I just get an email with my new pal info?? I'm kind of anxious to get started. I gotta remember to come here and read the posts! And I've got to put a reminder on my calender to take care of my pal too!

You will most likely get a confirmation email within a few days of sending in new questionnaires, but because of my surgery and recovery, Ive been alittle slow on that this month. I'll be sure to add a note when Ive assigned pals again, that way you'll know if I got yours forsure.. otherwise look out for a confirmation email

thanks for the quick response...you'll know when you read mine. I had two usernames, and then fixed them...used to be gottatri, now its Princess T. Sorry for making it confusing. Are you feeling better since your surgery? I certainly hope so. No rush on getting me assigned...I am excited to get started - but your rest and recovery is truly far more important. I can wait!! Again, thanks for the quick answer! ZZZZZ...goodnight!
