Cards

Hello All, I know I send a lot of ecards, but decided not to send them any more. I would never want to send a card that is some thing not wanted. I just wanted to give a little back to all the joy that has been brought to me. I am sorry to those I offened. Gail

Gail, I am so sorry if someone has led you to believe that you could have offended them by sending an ecard. That is CRAZY!!!! You are well loved and appreciated and those of us who have received your ecards have appreciated them as well as felt the love that you had sent along with it! OR I guess I should say MOST ALL of us anyway! I hope that whomever it was that was obviously RUDE and hurtful can realize that you are an angel and have been through alot along your journey and deserve to feel happiness through whatever means that you choose and at least your choice was sending free ecards and inspiration as well as support to your loved ones here on OH! Please do not let someone ruin your happiness and have you feeling down about doing something that not only you enjoyed but many of us enjoyed as well! I know that I may not be the most communicative person on the board, but I have been going through some emotional and personal obstacles within myself as well as my family- that being said- whenever I have received something from you it was definately most appreciated and usually needed. Definately lifted my spirits and let me know that even though I may not feel the love within myself that I do indeed have an angel out there, that is you my friend! I Love Ya- keep up your great journey and know that I and MANY others appreciate you and many of the things/support that you have given not only on this board but in person as well as through email! Hugz Dawn EDITED TO ADD- I wrote this BEFORE seeing SHERRIS post- so if that is what this is in regards to, I have to say, ok, ask if they want your ecards- BUT I too, agree with Sherri- keep me on your list and remove those that do not wish to have the extra support and inspirations that come along with your ecards! I love emails sssooo- anyway- didn't mean to step on ANYONES toes, but agree that the DIRECORY addys are intended for other things, maybe we could start a group of names that wouldn't mind- i dunno know! LOL Hugz Anyway, and still love ya! Don't be offended, just see who likes your ECARDS and send them on! If ya like! Hugz Dawn

OMG...I can't believe someone would not want your hugs and cheery ecards! As far as I am concerned keep them coming! I WANT ALL the ecards y'all can send and also all the funny little emails or even the ones that make ya cry! Thats what online friends are for...and to also meet in person! IF I send an email or ecard and y'all do not want them any longer please email me back and tell me!

GAIL and EVERYONE keep me on your lists! luv y'all and especially my sunny girlfriend Gail! hugggggggs Janene

Gail,

I don't know what's happened but I'm so upset that someone has made you feel this way.  You are one of the most wonderfully sweet people I've ever known.  Your cards always make me smile.  I hope you will rethink this decision because you have a gift of making others feel special.  I hope you don't let someone steal that gift from you.

Know I love you lots and lots.

Although I do not post a lot, I do read everyday.  This wonderulf group has been such an inspiration for me.  I greatly appreciated the cards that you sent to me and hope that you will keep me on your list.  I also am not the best communicator, however it is nice to know people care enough to send somebody they do not know a card.  You are so thoughtfule.  My opinion, if someone does not want communication from others, take your name off of the directory.  I hope you get feeling better soon.  You are in my prayers. Hugs Deborah

Gail, Please,please don't stop sending your ecards. I love getting them. DO not ever feel like people don't want them. I believe Sherri was talking about those forwarded emails that can be a little risque'. BUT FOR anyone reading this please continue to keep me on your lists and send me anything you want!!! again email is [email protected]!!! Thnaks SHanna For me the Raunchier the better, most of my friends and family have a very sick sense of humor.  

I, too, want as many of the cute, funny, raunchy, disgusting, illegal, immoral, and fattening jokes, cards, and e-mails you can send! I have a very sick and sadistic family that loves thos things! Please pass them all on to me! LOL

Gail and anyone else I love to receive email be it jokes of any type and email please feel free to keep me on your lists. [email protected]

Gail..and all the other ecard/funny senders, My note yesterday was not to be directed toward any individual, especially not yourself Gail. You should know by now hon that there is no way I would hurt your feelings for anything in the world.  Some people..in fact, most people, really do appreciate ecards. For me, they put a smile on my face...and usually such a much needed, well-timed one! For a few others though, they are viewed differently. I'm not sure that anyone who loves them so would be able to understand that viewpoint. I really tried hard to explain it...and aparently, I failed. For that, I am very sorry.  From the very start however, Floyd & I have tried to make it very clear on here that the Hoosier Directory is NOT to be used for forwarding jokes, SPAM, etc. Some people view yes, even ecards, in that same category. The person who specifically talked with me about it, I admit, I have sent funnies to. I'm not offended though that they would prefer not to recieve them...I just removed them from my 'send' list. No big deal. I don't want to flood anyone's mailbox with something they don't appreciate...and in their particular situation, they simply do not have time to filter through the emails they get each day. So please don't take the stance of 'Fine, I just won't send them to anyone then'...because if you do, you are not only robbing yourself of the pleasure of sending them, but of the joy that it brings to those who do enjoy them.  One simple email to those in your address book can take care of this...and I mean this for EVERYONE who sends out funnies &/or ecards: Send one email to those in your address book and simply ask them to reply 'yes' for funnies, and 'yes' to ecards. Any no's...respect that...and if you reply with a 'no'..but only want ones that are NOT risque' or other stipulation, let the sender kknow that in your reply. Any non-replies, take that as a 'no'. My message yesterday was referring to ALL funnies (risque' or not) and to ALL ecards...anything except email 'communication'. As I said..some people such as muself appreciate it all..some don't appreciate any of it. Some appreciate some...well..maybe...if it fits certain criteria. So..know your audience! Find out who likes what...or doesn't, and then respect that before you hit that 'send' button. It should not be the recipients responsability to come forward and say 'stop sending them'...afterall, they didn't ask you to start sending them to start with. So be curtious...ASK before you send. And then make an Address Group for those who do say 'yes'. For those who still feel that the recipients should just say something...they don't want to hurt your feelings.. They don't want anyone to get mad and just say 'fine, I won't send it to anyone then'. Gail...they also wouldn't have wanted to hurt your feelings, nor would they want you to stop sending them to those who do appreciate them. Janene...I know I appreciate the ecards from you too..but are you VERY sure that everyone on your list feels as I do? Perhaps they don't want to hurt your feelings either. I KNOW that the particular one I talked with thinks the world of you ladies...just not of ecards, funnies, SPAM, anything of that sort. So, please, send out that quick email...ok? And then repect the replies you get...and don't take offence to the 'no' replies or the no replies at all (which IS saying 'no' to both). Sherri

Hello, I just didn't think that maybe some people wouldn,t want a card. And I should have checked before sending ecards out. I would love to keep sending them, i know the above OH family would like to keep sending them so I will. I love you all and wouldn't want to send you something you do not want. Hugs & Blessings, Gail
