Oh, dear! I never wanted it posted who hadn't sent because of the fact that once you hand it over to the men in brown or blue, it is totally out of your hands. The only reason I tried to keep up with the people who still needed to get their packages was because I was "trying" to comment on everyone's gifts and it got too confusing quickly. I found myself clicking through page after page to see if I'd already commented on someone's box only to do the same thing the next day. By watching my chart, I was able to see whose thread I needed to comment on and it eased my frustration. (Sorry to say that I have a few I haven't gotten to in the last few days because I have had other activities going.)
It distresses me to see the bickering and such on this thread since it has my name as the one who originated it. The irony is that I was trying to do something nice for Linda when I posted it. (I bet she wished her name wasn't in the title, too! Sorry, Linda).
This has been a wonderful experience for me but frankly the fussing does drain some of the joy out of it. I am still learning the ins and outs of the board and probably should have sent my comment to Linda in a PM. However, I did think that if there were errors in my system, then someone could amend the mistake.
My ramblings were meant to help me be sure I commented on each person's gifts and nothing else! Until a couple of days ago, I had no idea who had not had their "sent" box unveiled. I was strictly trying to be sure I commented when a box was celebrated. I didn't want the ones who got theirs later on not have people acknowledge their Yorkie's stuff.
I apologize if my interest and observations have contributed to anyone's anxiety and hurt anyone's feelings. I assure you it was entirely unintentional.
I would greatly appreciate it if Admin would close this thread. It has veered so far from its intent that it's hardly recognizable plus I never meant it to distress anyone. Next time I will know to send my musings in a PM. Sorry... |
