I quit doing GE's because I felt that my GE buddy was missing out on some of the fun - although they didn't realize it until the exchange was over.

Another option to the traditional GE is to select a member at random - perhaps one you don't know very well and send them a small brighten your day gift and tell them to "pass it forward".


... and for the record, this is post 16,000 for me

Congrats on reaching 1600 post !!

I love the pay it forward idea

I think it's sad, too because it really is not required or necessary to always be on here giving hints and such. I think I did it so much just because I had time and it was fun for me. Really, the over spending and the time of the hints and smileboxes has gotten to where it runs people off I think.

I think maybe if we all did a GE and said, "Nobody spends over $80" and you can do 1 hint a week if you want and smileboxes are good because you don't have to re-size pics, but not necessary....maybe we'd have a lot more interest.

I'm super interested but I can't trust myself not to spend so I can only do max of 2 a year.

Both are really great ideas.
