Corinna- Thanks for the birthday envie! It was the first b-day 'card' I got this year!

 

[disneyfan61]

Just got back from Disney last night. Thank you Karen (Mskayjay) for another huge envie!!! I still have not gone thru the envie I got before we left for our trip!! I just downloaded all the pics I took (approx 530) & then had to go to our photopass share & look & edit all of those pics.

Rosie-It was great meeting you last Friday. I will post a pick when I get some downloaded into photobucket.

tinkerbell423-I will get an envie out to you sometime this week. I have a ton to go thru & will probably send them out in more than one envie as I do not think I have one big enough to put them all in

Well back to the real world. Doing

Tinashaver, that was an awesome envie that arrived today~~~many thanks!

 

[SHAYMARAYSMOM]

I got coupons today from Lori,Corinna,Elna and Shirley.

I also got one that was inside a bag and could not tell where it was from sorry. The mail machine seemed to have trashed it pretty good.

GaryDeb-Not too many coupons in today's paper, but I will be working on them tomorrow so I can get your envie out Monday or Tuesday.

Sleepy-I have one last envie that I will be sending since I know you are leaving soon. Hopefully it gets to you before you leave

Corrina,

Usandthem, I have your envelope ready to go tomorrow.

DISNEYJAN, your envie just needs to be sealed and taped and it will be on its way to you tomorrow.

In addition/regard to my newsletter: If you get multiple inserts of coupons from friends, family or if you buy multiple newspapers, please send them all to your assigned buddy. Even if you are mailing multiple of the same coupons to her, she can take as many of those that she likes and pass the rest on. Your buddy may use multiple of them before they expire, if not maybe her buddy will. If you are willing to send multiple envies to multiple people, this is no different than sending multiple envies to your assigned buddy. Thanks for your understanding.

SO if I get ONE paper I send my extras to my buddy but if I get from friends, family and/or BUY extra I have to send ALL my extras to my buddy? I like to send everyone a birthday envie. BUT if I understand correctly I should be sending ALL my extras only to my buddy. PLEASE clarify. Thanks!

Dang I have to quote myself since I did NOT read the newsletter first. Sorry about that. Ok, a few bad apples and we have to penalize everyone. I get that. Can we still send out birthday envies that include coupons or only cards? Thank you for all your time in running this train.

Yes, you should only be mailing to your assigned buddy from now on.

I wouldn't say we have any "bad apples", it's just not the way I want the train to operate. I'm to blame as well, I have sent multiple envies to people as well, and looking back I think my buddy may have missed out on some things, therefore for now I'd like it if everyone will only send coupons to their assigned buddies. In regards to b-day enveis/cards, I obviously can't stop anyone from sending cards out, that's up to you. However, I think with tough times in the economy right now, maybe we should all try to cut back and just send some b-day cheer via the thread.

I just had someone message me and ask this question...."Some people might not need for example Pet coupons or baby coupons. Would it be okay to know who can use those and send them." My answer is....even if you know your buddy does not have pets or babies, please send ALL your coupons to her because her buddy might. Eventually those coupons will get to someone that can use them....that's the purpose of the 'train'.

Sorry if this is upsetting to any of you, but I feel this is the way the train operates the best and it was the way it was started, so you all knew this going into it. When new people join I send them all a lengthy "rules" info type message. It says, that you are required to purchase the Sunday newspaper each week, cut all coupons, of course keep the ones you will use and pass the rest on to your assigned buddy. I feel if everyone does this, eventually you will end up getting your wishlist items and really no one is getting short changed.

Again, thanks for understanding.

I have been MIA for the past 2 weeks, lots of issues, even death, but I have to put my 2 cents worth in and say I completely agree with Corinna. It is nice to get from different people but we surely do not want to short the person we are responsible for on the train.

Shaymaraysmom - the messed up envelope last week was me. Sorry. I sent my DH to the post office, and forgot to mention to tape it within an inch of its' life. Oops.

 

[jeankeri]

tngramma- sorry to hear you have had a rough spell- glad to see you back!
I also am glad about going back to the 'basics' of the train. As someone who never sent out to anyone but my sender, I know they made out well. I'm excited to see how this works out.....

Not upset but can't say I LOVE the idea. I'm sorta sad about not sending out birthday envies as I really enjoyed sending birthday greetings with a few coupons enclosed. (I have an envie sealed and STAMPED for Jeankeri so I'm still going to mail it out rather than waste the postage).

Thanks again for keeping this awesome coupon train on track.

Sorry for your loss. Hope things are looking better for you this week.

Lilsweetpea,
I am your new sendee - I have two envies ready for the mail tomorrow. I am too lazy to go to the PO and get it weighed.

Corina,
Thank you so much for organzing us all.
