Gathering Ideas: The 2nd YorkieTalk Secret Buddy Gift Exchange! - Page 6 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I agree, a fall/winter theme is more appropriate than a holiday theme. Unless we let make it known what our beliefs are in our sign up post.

I agree with the rules, I sold someone a shirt on here and sent it out before I got the money and never did get the money, you just can't trust everyone. Just because you have a cute lil dog doesn't make you honest!

I will just keep posting to get my numbers up!

Ok, maybe I'm just confused or it's getting close to the end of the work day or the fact I have an interview in 2 hrs. I didn't get to participate in the first gift excahnge but sure I will be able to get to amount of past needed. So would I need to provide the deposit?

I think a season's theme would be easiest. However, if members really like the Halloween/ Christmas idea, maybe you could just say that members have to say yes or no to Halloween, Chirstmas, and Chanakuh (sorry, I'm sure I killed the spelling of that!). I know that would be some extra work, but you could pass that along to Brooke! Sounds great, and I'm definitely getting in on this one. Thanks Natalie for all of your hard work again!

O.k quick question. I will be getting 2 new fur babies in September can they be entered??? That would mean I would be entering 4 kiddos. Could 2 be paired to a person with 2 kiddos and the other 2 with another person with 2 kiddos. Hope you understand what I mean.

Smiles,

Myra

Yippee, I can't wait for it to start. I joined right when the gifts were being given on the last round! Any theme is fine with me....or even no theme, just buy what you think would suit your pal's pup

Can't wait to get started!
Hugs, Lori & Chica

Sounds like great fun - I know how much my boys (Maxwell & Zeus) love new toys. Deposit is not a problem I will keep my eyes open for sign up.

apaprikao · 08-04-2005, 11:40 AM

I'm all for it. I understand the reasoning for the deposit, so I'm okay with that. Sign-up starts soon! Yay!

natalie · 08-04-2005, 11:44 AM

It will start on Monday!
Keep an eye out.

The theme will indeed be

Fall & Winter.

centralnewyorki · 08-04-2005, 12:01 PM

Hooray!
Olivia and I are so excited! We've been brainstorming already!!

woo hoo luna and I are very excited 2 days left

kelley · 08-07-2005, 05:57 AM

Wow. I understand the reason for the deposit, but that's going to discourage quite a few people I would think. If you have 2 dogs-which many of us do (or even more

) it would probably get a little outragous.

This will discourage me-I don't have close to 500 posts, and I am probably the most honest person that you will ever find. If the deposit holds, I don't think I will do this-not with 2 dogs...the way that I understand this is that I will have $50 in a deposit. Right now I have soooo many things going on (2 kids going back to school, myself going back to school and medical bills out the whazoo), I don't think I could do it.

kelley · 08-07-2005, 06:02 AM

Has anyone thought about lowering the minimum number of posts? 500 seems like a lot.

kelley · 08-07-2005, 07:03 AM

I guess the more that I think about it-it's only $50 and you get it back. That's not such a big deal. It wouldn't discourage me, but for someone who had 3 or 4...that's $75-$100 in a deposit.
