November SS-

[Bad JuJu]

I get the idea of acknowledging gifts received--that makes sense to me.

I keep telling my brother and his wife to teach their kids to write thank-you notes (or at least thank-you emails) for that reason--certainly they need to learn to thank people for their generosity, but if nothing else, gift-givers who live far away just want to know that everything arrives as it's supposed to.

I like the idea of including little clues to identity--that sounds like fun!

OK, first and foremost, I did not make it clear in my above post that my SS did say thank you.

Please don't all shout at me, it was just one of those days and.........................and I felt, I dunno what I even felt.

Sheeeeesh, wanted to come on this site today and just delete what I had written but this is not fair to all the responses.

I suppose it is still fascinating to me, to be able to get in contact with people so very far away, obviously, different culture and very often we even use different words for things but no, I am in the wrong, why should I expect anybody to send me a PM, my SS did the correct thing, she thanked me on this thread. As Bad JuJu mentioned, it is meant to be 'Secret'.

I put my hand up on this one, I screwed up, sorry folks.

I look forward to receiving my SS gift, guess I am just impatient.

Hey Sally, don't feel bad! You really didn't say anything so terrible. We all word things in ways sometimes that might have been worded better- it's ok!
I hope your SS package arrives to you soon!

Sally, you didn't say anything wrong. I did thank my SS, but I must be bad at figuring out who mine is. I haven't figured it out the last two times and I would love for my SS to 'fess up so I can get to know her better (hint, hint ). Getting a gift is great any day, but getting to make a friend is even better in my book.
