Anybody not continuing to the next quarter please
I'm not going to participate next cycle. My buddy sucked - BIG TIME. I got one cheap dollar store present that arrived almost 3 weeks late and then nothing for last month (and don't expect anything for this month). It sucks because I was a good buddy and sent my buddy nice gifts (on time!) and haven't had a good experience in return.
So, thanks for everything, but this is enough for me. I'd still like to know my buddy's name so I could send them a message.
Summer,
I am really sorry you didn't have a good experience. Unfortunately you can not force anyone to do anything here. This is a voluntary program.
One thing for sure I can tell you is that the minimum of a gift is $10.00 before you pay for postage. If your pal sent stuff from the dollar store well maybe that is what she could afford at the time. I know now a days most people are having financial problems. The thought is what counts....
I don't like to create problems and I will not tell you who your pal was. I will not allow anyone to go and tell someone off. I would cut my losses and just move on.
In this program if you have been a great pal by sending your pal gifts on time and you didn't receive from your pal. There is really nothing you can do. Some people have been in your same shoes and has been blessed just by being a great pal to someone even if they didn't receive from their pals.
There is no need to continue in the program if you don't want to. But one thing I do expect from you is to keep your end of the bargain for the month of April.
Thank you for joining and trying. I am sorry it was not anything you expected it to be.
Sincerely,
I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind.

Hi Cira -
I understand about the value ... but even at the dollar store what I got wouldn't equal 10 bucks. A lot of stuff was stuff I specified on my list as "do not buys". I understnad people were going to buy what they wanted to ... but it was like my buddy just didn't care. AT ALL. No emails or anything. No present last month and nothing this month either, I'm sure.
Trust me, I wouldn't leave my buddy high and dry. I know how lousy it makes me feel that my buddy has been so ****ty .... I would never do that to someone else. I'm a better person than that! :) I bought her presents today!
