I've thought about joining and decided the entire process requires more than I can give. Things have changed so much with the GE, the fun is lost for me now with all of the expectations. What used to be a simple, fun exchange of a couple of gifts, and getting to know another member, has turned in to a cumbersome, almost competitive event, that caused me more stress than fun. Between the shopping, wrapping, packing, mailing, hint and thank you threads, thank you Smileboxes/videos, pictures, overall costs, doubting I've been generous enough, and finally the inevitable "someone not being done right" and subsequent complaint threads, the magic of the GE is gone for me.
