Official Spring/Easter Thank You Thread!



Recommended Posts

I agree...I know this may sound a bit greedy, but I spent my money and did my part to participate, and I have yet to receive any thing, or even a pm to let me know something was sent. I also feel bad for those of you who see your recipient posting in other places, but they didn't post here on the thank you thread. My recipient was kind enough to post here and send me a thank you pm. I'm feeling a bit bummed out about it because I was excited about getting something from the US. I'd really like to do a 4th of July exchange as well, but I'm not sure if people would be willing considering the way this exchange has gone. Of course this is the first exchange I have participated in. Maybe it's always like this? :)

Yeah, what K@t said! That darned LBT Easter Bunny gave me the shaft! I put a lot of effort into the gift that I sent, and Penni showed so much appreciation for it by posting photos and thanking me! Thats the way this whole thing should go... I guess I feel cheated that I went to the effort and whoever got my name didn't, or couldn't, or whatever... Even if my secret bunny had an emergency, got sick, or wasn't financially able to send a gift, a PM explaining the situation would have been appropriate; and would have been enough for me..... Guess that's the risk you take... I'll participate in the next one, and hope it turns out better! Okay, enough whining from me! Later LBT exchange friends!

Yea, Tina got her gift, thanks for the PM. :clap2:

I remember (formerly) bigbellieKellie did not get her Christmas gift, but I think she was the only one. It seems there are way too many that did not receive their secret bunnie gifts this time. Maybe it's time for who got who to be posted.

I hope all the bunnies who have not yet received their gifts get them very soon. :)

Well I would be interested in doing another one, I had a good time shopping and sending as well as recieving. This was my first exchange on here and I was fortunate enough to have no problems.

I do agree with the fact that before you sign up please stop and think about others and how you would feel participating in this and not recieving something back.....you should want to participate fully and 100%......

I feel aweful for those that did not recieve..Im sorry to hear that some were forgotten.....

Well, I'm glad to know I'm not alone. I agree with HarleyNana, I think the names should be posted.

At any rate, I'd like to do a 4th of July exchange....is it to early to start a thread?

Pat, I am HAPPY to say I received your Gift on Monday April 17. It is recieved with Open arms to a very grateful bunny. Thank you so much for the thoughtfulness you put into putting my basket together. I tried yesterday to post but I sincerly couldn't find this thread. I took a picture of the wonderful contents of my basket and will try to post it.

Pat was kind enough to send me a beautiful jeweled picture frame along with a set of leaf-shaped tea light candle holders and a wonderful smelling home interiors candle that smells of apples...yumm... and a great card that made me feel very special. Thank you Pat. I love it all!

I really hope that my not being able to find the thread until today has not hurt your feelings or come across as ungrateful. If it has, I do apologize. It was not my intention to let you go unthanked. I really do love all the gifts you sent me. As far as who signed for it I am not aware of that. My apartment complex's office signs for packages for us and then calls us when they "remember" to. I have caleed the office and they apoloized to me for not calling me sooner. I am sorry that I hurt your feelings Pat.

If it is any consulation I looked and didn't see that my secret bunny recieved her gift het either. Hope she did and that she liked them. They were mailed to OH.

I just want to say that I am so heart Sick that I did not send my receiver her Gift. I had all the intention to do so before Easter. I did PM her and let her know what was going on. I still have every intention of sending the gift but a surprise will be added because she was so kind in letting me slide. I also want to say to those if you that did not send a gift and said you would please PM, let the other person know what has happend - maybe you fell on hard times - maybe something in your life came up that you did not expect (like me).

And Kimber it is so easy to transpose numbers.

Jenna - I am still working at it.. The place never cleans out the voice mail box and when I pass no one is there. I would think sometime this week if not Sat and definitly on Sunday they would be there.

Tina, thanks again for posting, like I said in the reply to your PM, I was just concerned that someone ELSE was enjoying your package, LOL.

The apple candle does smell like a just baked pie.

Hugs Girl!

I am up for the July 4th exchange.....this was my first one, and I got some really nice things from my secret bunny, Txblue. I also, am sure my bunny was happy with her things. :D I had Jessebear....

I can't believe so many people didnt get anything, or didnt get acknowledged. (sp) :(

How sad is that......If someone wants to give me an addy of someone who didnt get anything, I will send something to that person....

Jenna can you send a note to the same address (the wrong one) and see if they got it and see if they would send it back to you. Just an idea.

This just makes me sick to think of all of you who never got your gifts. That is just rude.

*sigh* welp I haven't gotten a PM from any one so I can safely assume the Easter bunny gave me the shaft. I give up....

At any rate, I did make a new thread for a 4th of July/Summer exchange. I am going to try to do it differently with confirmation PM's before the exchange begins. I hope you all will participate because when these things go well its very enjoyable for every one.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
