It's killing me though not to participate and taking every ounce of willpower not to go ahead and sign up. I am trying so hard to learn how to be disciplined in what I plan and not just give in to my "want to's". You'd think I'd have that skill mastered but I'm nowhere near there.
But as far as fun goes? I enjoyed planning and snooping and "stalking" my buddies as much as anything I've been involved in since I retired. It is wonderful to know that you are a part in making someone's day happy.
Fun? I'd even go beyond that and maybe describe the GE as a celebration...at least that's the way I looked at it. I got to celebrate a new friend and her Yorkie and that is a joyful event! |
Thanks Debbie for you input...but me myself have been through a lot these last 2 years really and GE were something I used to enjoy until it got to serious....I mean don't need that extra stress on my shoulders about not posting on time or not being able to post pictures and people know i love to take pictures or just the thought that my buddy was not happy. So to me it isn't as fun anymore like it used to...it's so strict and regulated in a sense that if you don't do it like someone else you will be condemned for it....sorry that I did not read the new rules before posting my first post about pictures not require and that was my fault for not being in tuned with all the changes...i was thinking about signing up for this GE since it's been some time since my last ge and i wanted to have fun...then came across this thread and felt like wow maybe it's a bad idea...
