unfortunatley, I can't use the card though, the nearest OD around here is about 2 hours away. I dont' mean to be crabby...but maybe for the next round...if you are sending to your secret pal, just be sure they can use the gift card you are sending. And the earrings just aren't my style. I don't even think I put down earrings either..... I just think you should go by your partners wish list..and if you aren't sure about something ask. I still don't know who my pal was. I do appreciate the gesture of sending something out...it's just the last pkg was nothing I could use.

I just figure this is part of doing the swaps and everything else on here. Every package is not going to have everything in it you like especially if people only know each other by a list of likes and dislikes. Did you put down you cant use gift cards? With as much trading as you do i bet you can come out real good trading the card. Just my 2 cents worth..............

I wasn't by any means trying to be rude...
BUT even at that..I may not have even wore earrings...
yes, this is suppose to be fun...but when you get something you can't use..it's really not much fun. that's why we put down a list.
If we wanted it to be a "surprise" swap, we wouldn't put down lists.
Your right, we may not know each other..but that's why we have a list to go by. I went by my partners' list.
I listed I think walmart/kmart gift cards. I wasn't trying to be rude.
yes, I do lots of trades, but I dont' expect to get something just so that I can trade.
You asked us to post feedback? was I suppose to lie and say everything was great? I'm sorry, but that is wrong. We all have different opinions and maybe I am way off on this one. I guess as the saying goes, be happy with what you got? Not always...I did say that I appreciated the gesture but I think that in the future if your going to join the swaps, you need to go by your partners list.
I have never tried to be mean or rude. AND there has been lots of times that I have rec'd items that were broke, ruined during shipping that I never said anything because I didn't want to hurt anyones feelings. BUT there are also times that you have to say something. So I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings, but I was just being truthful.
AND yes, anyone can trade anything...so I guess that means, you can just send the person whatever and if they don't like it..they can trade it? I also think your statement was "rude". I guess I shouldn't have said anything. I guess that's what happens when you are honest. I just think, if you want to make this thing work, you need to state some rules. I'm sorry for hurting anyone's feelings, I guess mine didn't matter. I guess, I'll just stay out of the secret pal swaps, because I have different ideas then others. I just think when you send out a list...your suppose to send their "likes". So whoever was my secret pal, I appreciate that you did send something, and I'm sorry, If I stepped on your toes. Even if I did know who you were, I wouldn't have posted names.

HOW WAS MY STATEMENT RUDE? YOU LAID THIS OUT FOR ALL TO SEE AND YOU DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT SOMEONES FEELINGS? COME ON...

I thought the point of secret pals was to get things on their list? That way you know that you are giving them something they want and/or need?
