The person I bought for posted happily that their gift had arrived - but nothing after Christmas Day :-( I concluded they didn't like it. Could have lived with that except the person buying for me made a big deal of posting how they hadn't been shopping and were sending something "pre-loved" - yep that made me feel wonderful!dreamcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512623516755804881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004263.post-1117884652128975182005-06-04T04:30:00.000-07:002005-06-04T04:30:00.000-07:00I would also be annnnoyed if there was no acknowle...I would also be annnnoyed if there was no acknowledgment of your efforts. i think its plain rude<BR/>cheers<BR/>nat in sunny QLD <BR/>knittingnatty.typepad.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004263.post-1117775522501641152005-06-02T22:12:00.000-07:002005-06-02T22:12:00.000-07:00you know, i'd be happy with any handspun you would...you know, i'd be happy with any handspun you would want to send, lol. i love handspun yarn!dragon knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876200889552460658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004263.post-1117775487370101312005-06-02T22:11:00.000-07:002005-06-02T22:11:00.000-07:00i do understand. the last package i sent my secre...i do understand. the last package i sent my secret pal, i got an email saying thank you, she was looking forward to knitting the yarn i'd sent her, and the other things were greatly appreciated, but while the previous packages i'd sent her were highly touted, this last one got a bare mention. i wasn't quite sure what to think. who knowsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004263.post-1117769027434094542005-06-02T20:23:00.000-07:002005-06-02T20:23:00.000-07:00You aren't overreacting, but you'll drive yourself...You aren't overreacting, but you'll drive yourself crazy if you choose to think the worst of this person. Maybe she's just clueless. By definition a random act of kindness is done because its kind. Not with any expectations attached to it. Most people in knitblog world are truly appreciative and vocal about it. Her lack of response does not take away from the beauty and thoughtfulness of your gift. Secret pals....same thing. You do it without assuming you will get reciprocity, otherwise you set yourself up for disappointment. For the record, it sounds like a fabulous RAOK, which makes you a terrific person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004263.post-1117723561988956542005-06-02T07:46:00.000-07:002005-06-02T07:46:00.000-07:00I would be pretty darn peeved myself by said lack ...I would be pretty darn peeved myself by said lack of reaction. Not even a thank you? Rude.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think I'd be happy for some local flavor from your locale rather than mine. It certainly wouldn't be cheap if I had to buy it, if I could even discover its existence and I think it add a certain something to the whole exchange idea.CrazyFiberLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406227355221687996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004263.post-1117710575697045592005-06-02T04:09:00.000-07:002005-06-02T04:09:00.000-07:00I would be totally peed off about not even getting...I would be totally peed off about not even getting a thank you. I mean i was busting a gut when you sent me my birthday pressie to show it off to everyone and to thank you for it!<BR/>I mean geeeeeeez at least a thank you and showing it wouldnt hurt! And doesnt cost anything.<BR/>I dont think you are over reacting.<BR/>And I agree about all that SP stuff!

I like people to be properly grateful for pressies! Especially well chosen, well thought out ones.<BR/><BR/>Hope the digestive bits get back to normal soon. No way could I survive that long without food - and having had gastro a couple of weeks ago I can identify with the liquids portion if not the rest!!!Sheeprustlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14927327455496824702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004263.post-1117683591201658102005-06-01T20:39:00.000-07:002005-06-01T20:39:00.000-07:00Glad to hear everything went well with the colonos...Glad to hear everything went well with the colonoscopy.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about the secret pals stuff.
