Just need to ventI'm not sure what it is, but have never felt like anybody actually likes me. Before y'all go biting my head off, I better explain why....
Whenever I post offering hexie requests, my tutorials, anything of mine, etc, everyone is like responding. Sometimes I say, I'll do __ amount of hexie request and I normally end up with more than that. Now I don't mind doing them too much, as long as the person says, something like "oops, guess I missed my chance." If you apply and don't say something like sorry after you've gone over my limit, I really don't feel like making that hexie. Also when I do these, it seems like I get even more through email and aim even though I've even reached my limit. whenever people say "will you pleeease do this for me?" i normally give in even though in my mind I'm saying "No, not another one!" It's making it quite un-enjoyable. Unless I'm offering to do some, I really don't want to make them at the time.
Whenever I post for suggestions for me, or say one of my kids is having a BIRTHDAY, or ask for help uploading, etc., i'm lucky if i get one response (btw, yes sango, it'd be great if you made some sort of cute Halloween drink). Most of the time, when I make suggestions like for things hexed, no one responds. As for birthdays, I asked 2 things yesterday- 1, will someone upload a card for me and 2- can people wish logan a happy one month old birthday.
It crushed me to come on today to see that NO ONE even wished him a happy birthday or made him a card. I did get one well wishing through email which I was thankful for. I can't tell you how many cards I've made lately.
The BC has turned into a take-take situation. I give and I give and I give, but get nothing back! Not only is it driving me crazy, it's making me want to leave the bc. The only thing that keeps me in here is the fact that I love my babyz and I love playing with them. It'd be nice if someone could actually help when I asked.
Logan's month old birthday is today, September 20th. Tara's month old birthday is in 2 days, September 22nd.
Darcey's 6 month old birthday is in 5 days, September 25th.
Not that anyone will even look at this post or even notice my kids are ignored :(. All my friends seem to be leaving left and right. I feel like a slave here almost? Does anyone else feel this way? I doubt I'll get any response to this post. I've been in the bc for awhile and I'd really appreciate some decent responses. This isn't next message is probably applying to everyone. Reply to post, make cards for people, encourage each other. This place will be so much better is people will start doing things for others instead of always taking. I won't say names, but their are people in the bc who have a take-take reputation. Asking for a baby once in a while is okay, I guess, but you SHOULD wait for a hexie request and apoligize if you aren't one of the first __ to respond. You may actually get the hexie. So instead of constantly asking for things, start praising the hexers. We all work so hard to make them and sometimes, we don't even get a thank-you! I hope I made my point across with my head still attached and I'm still pondering what to do. Unless change happens, I don't know how much longer i'll be around!

- I see what you mean, and I don't even come close to giving as much to the BC as you do. I know that it would be SO different around here without each and every one of you that put in so much time to make it better for all of us. If I would have been around to see those posts, I would have done my best to reply if I got the chance, and I'm going to make your kiddos some cards, not to try to "make up" or because I feel guilty, but because its your turn to recieve, I only wish I could do more.If I would have seen the first post I would have done my best to get some done sooner, and if you don't mind, could you IM me some pics of the bday babyz for their cards? :) fleurofessence (NT) -- Elizabeth, 12:20:39 09/20/03 Sat

- Ok, i know i left, but i have to say this: Westie, you are SO appreciated here, at least by me! You're so much fun to talk to, and you are an amazing hexer and are so giving! I think anyone who doesn't realize that is an ungreatful, stupid bitch. *hugs you* Don't you leave now, or i might have no reason to ever come back! ;-) Love you Westie!
