Halloween Hangman Day 2: In case you missed it, here are the rules: 1) Each person can guess one letter per day (use GW time stamps -- EST). Once the body is complete, there will be no more letter guesses allowed. The hangman has 7 body parts, so choose letters wisely. First come, first served on letter guesses. 2) Each person can take one guess at the word per day. You do not have to guess the word at the same time you guess the letter. Words will all relate to Halloween. Sometimes it will be a garden/Halloween mash. Ex. Ghost + Ghost Pepper = Ghost Pepper. 3) This game will run Mon - Fri. I will post at different times each day to give everyone an equally random shot. By Fri, the person with the most points wins. Your prize will be sent out in your seed pack. (Due to GW's weirdness I had to use a dash to represent a space). Current Point Total: pmb2005 -- 1pt _______ I.............) I............ I............. I............. I............

I am here tonight for a favor. I am in need of quick prayers for my 24 year old daughter. She went to the emergency room yesterday because she first started having stabbing pains in her chest then her left side began tingling and she was dizzy and had difficulty concentrating. She was tested for stroke and bloodclot and when they could not find anything, sent her home. Her pain went away but not the tingling. I took her to the chiropractor and she didn't do any work on her because just simply looking at her and her reactions to certain tests made the chiro ask me to take her back to the er. I took her to a different hospital and they have admitted her. I know someone asked if MS was in the family and I do have a cousin. They are doing an MRI tomorrow and after reading the symptoms tonight, realize that Elizabeth has several of them and they even mentioned some patients had pains described as stabbing which is how this started. I am scared for my daughter and pray that MS is not the problem. Please keep her in your prayers and I will keep you posted. Thanks Margo

Hello everyone, I received an e-mail back from Tina, explaining that I have been dropped from the swap apparently because I haven't posted enough and haven't sent my boxes out. I am posting to explain some things before i stop following this swap for good since apparently Tina doesn't want me in it. 1. I did have a very bad health problem and some computer troubles from time to time but so did our host and I have made several posts, I think probably as many as several other members. 2. I have sent every box due out. Granted when I was sick I did get behind but I just sent my pal 2 boxes at the end of September (1 for August & 1 for September) I have the conf # for all of these boxes to prove that. 3. I have not received any box in this swap since July and Tina (HummingbirdDaisy) was my secret pal. I know this because in August she e-mailed me saying she was sending 2 boxes that month (1 extra for Kayla which had some yardsale toys and clothes in it) I never recieved it or any others. 4. I am sorry that I failed to keep up with whatever swap rules I broke that caused me to be removed. I really enjoyed picking out goodies for Bogartbaby and her furbabies. She was my secret pal. 5. I was finishing up the Halloween kitchen towel and was planning a Christmas towel to go with your Spring one you already recieved and the Fall one that is in the box you just recieved or should be recieving soon. Let me know if you would still like to have them (would make you a set of 4 total) and I will be glad to send them to you. 5. I have been very dissappointed in the actions of our host even though I still enjoyed the swap and would have continued being in it even though Iwas not receiving boxes in return. I think the secretness of the swap itself has allowed some people to get blamed for things they didn't do and others to take or give credit for other things to other people and no one can tell since we didn't know who our secret pals were. For example who would have thought the host would fail to send out any except the very first box. 6. Just to set the record straight the questionaire sent in by YOUR_SECRET_PAL was me. I was trying to get more conversations going on in this swap along with trying to pick out the perfect Christmas gift for Bogartbaby. 7. If I sound angry in this post I do sincerely apologize, to be quite honest my feelings are very hurt at the moment. I do not understand why Tina would not have at least e-mailed me about all of this and knowing who was pal to who she should have been able to tell that I was sending boxes since Bogatbaby has always posted what she recieved in them. It also hurts that she is accusing me of not sending boxes when she herself has only sent me one box throuhgout the entire swap. I have not had a problem with waiting for her to get caught back up with her boxes because I "thought" she was being patient with me getting caught up also. Apparently she wasn't that patient and simply dropped me without telling me. I do hope no one on here will feel angry with me or not trust me. I do so enjoy GardenWeb, trading and my favorite is the Round Robins. I know that reputation is very important on here and would just hate it if no one wants to trade or parnter with because of this. And Bogartbaby I am sorry that I will not be your secret pal anymore, I really do think you are a really great person. I even had your furdoggies some new toys and Halloween goodies for October's box. If you want them or the other to crossstitch towels, please let me know. I will miss you all. Hugs, Lisa & Kayla
