Well I just have to say this..When DAH's (dumb@ss hubby)plant closed down 3 days before xmas, there were SEVERAL members here who sent my kids and me little things. I expressed my appreciation to ALL of them. Now that I have a job of my own, when I get caught up, I intend on sending EACH of them a little something in return to show my TRUE appreciation of their generosity.

Now, for your problem...maybe she just isn't really WORDY?? I know sometimes I'm not. She thought thanks was OK? I dunno..just a thought. But still a bit more would've been great.

But don't you guys think that it makes a difference in people's attitudes if they outright ask for handouts or if you just decide to do it on your own? I mean, I think some people expect things, to where others are just posting their concerns about the rough time they're having and don't expect anyone to do for them, except maybe give ideas. I think people are more grateful for an unexpected RAOK. JMO

I guess I should have explained...I didnt even get an answer to my many emails asking if the packages got there OK. I know they were delivered. Thats all I expect to get in return, I just want to make sure the stuff gets where its supposed to go.

I don't recall EVER asking for anything.

I was worried that that might be taken the wrong way. I'm not accusing anyone here of asking for anything. I'm talking about in life in general. I think some people scam others into doing for them, just to get something for nothing. Like that lady that said her little girl has cancer(?)and was trying to get donations and then come to find out her daughter wasn't sick and she scammed all those people. And others just talk/type/ect. about things going on and people just want to do for them. Like when you see in the paper that someone has lost their home, so you decide on your own to donate clothes to them, things like that. And then you see them on tv or whatever crying because it meant so much to them

THANK YOU EVERYONE, FROM EVERYONE!!!

Sorry, I am a natural born peace maker.

When I had my first baby shower (1990), I didn't have the $$$ to buy thank you notes. I mean it, I really didn't have the $$$. All our $$$ went to diapers, clothes, food, and gas. My mother bought some for me and then I lost my list and addresses. I made sure I bought some with Joey. I handed them out personally. I think a Thank You is meant to be sincere, and sometimes people don't know how to make it sound sincere.

If all else fails, though, get on Off Topic and send a big THANKS to those who have helped you.

Raven I do agree with what you said. I have done & will continue to do nice, unexpected things for people & will continue to do so.

I also do agree with what HotWheels said too. A plain & simple THANK YOU is not very difficult to do. She should not have had to ask if the package was received. To me it isn't important if someone sends me a Thank You card in the snail mail but a simple THANKS email should be in order. You can even go in OFF TOPIC & say thanks if you don't know/remember who if is from.

I just want to go on record here, I have never sent for more than 1 freebie nor have I made up a business name. When I vent/whine... trust me...my real world is probably 10 times worse that I type on here. And NO, no one has ever sent me anything other than the Secret Exchanges.

With all that said...HotWheels...hun you can bake me homemade bread anytime! *LOL*

ITA with you. The least she could have done was say thank you before having been asked.

To all concerned NO it wasn't MK it was someone else. They were begging me to send things to them. SAID THEY WERE DESPERATE.

I had referred them to several places in their area (Aggie's from the same area). I'm not sure if they ever checked into it or not. At this point I really don't care anymore.

Aggie isn't very verbal himself. I guess it comes from being in the military for so long and having the stepmother from H*LL.

My family on the other hand is very caring, close, verbal (sometimes loudly), emotional, giving. Something Aggie has had a hard time w/since he wasn't brought up that way.

After the holidays when everyone was gone he showed his gratefulness w/spraying w/shaving cream on the bathroom mirror

hotwheels (put real name) I love you so much and thank you from the bottom of my heart for a great Christmas. YOU DID IT.

That really made me feel special. He gave his thanks w/o saying a word. It really meant a LOT to me.

Nikkole,

Didn't I reply to your post about this??? If yes, then it is the same person. Haven't you seen them on here???? I have.
