Pen Pal Goodie Boxes?

  • Popular Post

So, I was thinking, how fun would it be to have a monthly pen pal? Someone new each month to send a box of goodies or things that you have found helpful. It is something that I have been thinking about for sometime now and would like to get started. There would of course be a spending limit and some general rules but I wanted to get a feel as to if anyone would be interested in participating.

If you are interested reply with an email that I could send you more info to. I would love to get this started!!

Can we mention where we are from so that we can ensure we don't pick a pen pal from the same area?

I would like a pen pal. I could send things that I found helpful during my journey.

So where are you from?

I'm from New Orleans. I figured knowing where ppl were from would help to be pen pals and create care packages.

Im having surgery tomorrow.im scared to death.would love to have people to talk too.im sure im going to need help along this journey.oh my name is tracey.

I understand that feeling. You have chosen a Dr that you believe has your best interest at hands, so you will do good. This is a hard decision that we have all fought with. But imagine the benefits after the struggle. I'm 4 days Post-op and I struggled today with it being Easter. But a lady reminded me that we just need to stick it out this time and next year we will be good. I'll give you my email if you would like. Best of Luck and you can do it.

Is this still going on? I would like to join in on the fun. fritzfive@comcast.net. I'm in Seattle.

Yes would like your email.i hope you are doing well.and your right next yr we will be good.packing my bag now.then going to try to sleep.will let you know how everything goes tomorrow.

I started a convoy with you and it includes my email. Have a good night's sleep.

Hello all,

I was thinking about this thread and how we could really start it going.

Besides finding out where everyone is from. We can chat about what WLS we had and when. That way it would help anyone creating a goodie box on what to put in it. What do you think?

hello... i'd love to do the pen pal goody box thing too. I did the pen pal thing few months ago. I sent Seattle stuff to my pen pal to someone back east and NEVER got a a goody box back. Very disappointed. Oh well...I hope she liked the Seahawk stuff she got....Go Hawks...... But i'd try it again, cause it would be fun.... ;)
