| Should the GE have a Cap on Spending? I am posting this poll in hopes that those who don't want to air their feelings in public (and, I totally get that) will be able to be heard. You don't have to post a response or anything so no worries. But I am hoping everyone with any interest/feelings about/griefs with the GE will respond to the poll. Thanks

| So, I'm playing devils advocate here... Lets say a cap is set and someone goes over it, what happens? Do they not get to do GE any more?? Who will "police" the spending? Will receipts be required? The gift exchange is optional. No one has to sign up. if you dont want to spend the money, dont sign up. Those who don't have the money this time, often sit out. Those with multiple dogs rotate dogs. I do know that some people sign up and don't fulfill their end of the bargain, and that's wrong, but putting a cap on someone's GENEROSITY??? That's completely wrong.

But I know if the cap was set at $80, I would go over every time... IMO, this would only be a temporary fix.

As far as policing it, we won't. We'd hope and expect that people would respect the guidelines and their fellow participants by not going overboard and thereby risking making that person (ostensibly and potentially) feel as if they didn't do enough on their end.

| I'm actually disappointed that there hasn't been more people to vote! All these people who won't speak up apparently still aren't when they have a chance. I honestly don't get it. I got talked to like crap for putting my opinion out and I'm still speaking up. I have 5 animals and have became good at watching for deals. I use every possible coupon I can get my hands on so that like Heather said.... she could ONLY spend $15.00 on $70 worth of products. That is why I mentioned in the other post. That I would only count the money I spent not the original asking price. My buddy would still get an awesome box with my budget. I said I was going to spend $125.00ish.... IF there was a cap I was thinking more along the lines of $200.00. Sometimes, I wish here on YT that everyone could just agree to disagree.

| I definitely agree to disagree. At this point in time right now, 193 people have viewed this thread and only 29 have voted. C'mon - it's anonymous. Why open the thread and not chose an option and vote? Even if you don't participate in the GE's, surely you have an opinion - you may want to participate later if it is more appealing to you, right? Please vote - this is where we can all show how we feel about it without it being personally public.

| i voted...in the end i just wish it didnt come down to one person feeling like they got cheated if you cant spend 150 bucks or something like that.....i did hear some comments to that affect in the only ge i joined in on from a person who thought enough wasnt spent in comparision to what they spent. i wish the focus was more on how special the things are that are bought, handmade and picked out for your baby.
