It is pretty easy to get behind. I checked the list and I saw some that I forgot about. I am so glad you guys have that database.
I'm glad the db is there, too. But sometimes I forget it exists. I have a nice little excel sheet with all the info, and usually I get things out way before they're due, but this time I forgot. I'd never been on the list before, and now I have.supertalya wrote:It is pretty easy to get behind. I checked the list and I saw some that I forgot about. I am so glad you guys have that database.
Eeek!
I was on the list for a long while and all my books were mailed out to people. Life happened and I fell behind, you will get your books, be patient. On the most part we are a very dedicated group of book swappers and sharers!!MaplesFlowers wrote:I just have to say that looking at the list makes my stomach just clench! Every single book that is owed to me is by someone who is on this list - except for the very last one I selected. That doesn't inspire confidence that I'll ever get any of the books that I have chosen. That is really disappointing!

I have not been on the list but might be in the future as I mail my books from the US. It is not a matter of keeping up or economic problems but simply US postage is 1/3 the cost of Cdn. There are a myriad of reasons why everyone is not as speedy as the recipient wants them to be.MaplesFlowers wrote:Rosie, I'm so sorry if you took my post personally.I really didn't mean it against anyone in particular. I was just shocked at how many people that owe me books were on the list. There's only like 5 people that owe me a book. It was just that almost everyone was on the list!! Although I have tried my best, and been successful so far for the most part, at keeping up with sending books out, I can honestly understand how easily it can happen. I'm just catching up on sending things to my monthly exchanges and trades from when I was in my accident and in and out of the hospital so much the last couple of months.
I would just like to say that I think the key thing is to keep communication open. If you're getting behind, please tell the people you owe books to. I'd rather know that I may not get the books owed to me for a few extra months because of economic problems or other such woes, than not hear anything from the person and continue to sit and wonder if the books will ever come! I even offered one person that owes me a book the postage to send the book because I was really wanting it badly. The person has never even acknowledged my email. Sad!!
Well I was nearly on the list if it weren't for the fabulous Giz! I was shocked cause normally I am pretty quick in sending out my books but because of all the health problems I did not .
I am playing much less in swaps cause like in Canada the prices have gone up again. Every year they go up here in January and I cannot afford it anymore. I live on the dole. well not really, it is named different.. because I am sick I get a minimum which is just as much as dole (social security?) is. I am considered 100% not able to work. (I wish i could work, at least you can look forward to the weekends)
so only thing I could do was swap less. Pick my swaps wisely. That sucks cause I love swapping but I notice I am not the only one. Was exited to get 19 people for my Birthday swap. Lately a lot of swaps get cancelled.
I will send out all the books I owe.

Can someone do me a favor and download the books I owe from zoho to an excel sheet and email it to me? nessabutterfly80 (at) gmail (dot) com.
The database does not load for me at home ever since they "upgraded" and I have no idea how current my list is that I have here.
