DISLIKES: No atcs nothing personal i just dont like them . nothing that smells of cigarette smoke they will go into the trash immediately . thanks for understanding .

Let me say I give hearts generously because I think anyone who takes time out of their day to send me something deserves a heart . Just because I dont like it is not a reason not to give a heart . If you contact me saying you will be late with a swap then I will understand HOWEVER I DONT CHASE SWAPS OR RATINGS .IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE YOUR SWAP GOT TO ME NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND . Things happen but communication should happen as well . thanks. Also should your swap come here ripped up then i wont rate you at all because that is neither your fault or mine . I hope you understand that .

Also please message me for my zip code if you are sending a swap to me.

If you dont see a rating from me it is because i never got the swap from you and i do rate as soon as i get them .

I also want to put up here if you don't rate that is just rude .

Any swap I host I will make note of the swappers who don't rate and you wont be welcome in any of my swaps .

I WILL NOT BE BULLIED BY ANYONE .YES IT HAS HAPPENED . SOME HOSTESS THINK THEY CAN BULLY PEOPLE INTO REMOVING RATINGS . I DID IT ONCE IM NOT DOING IT AGAIN . IF YOU GET RATED DOWN YOU DESERVE IT . IM NICE TO A POINT . THEN IM NOT SO NICE .

And futhermore you relay attitude towards me you will be banned also from any future swaps I host . Since some of you think it is okay to be nasty to a swap host or hostess .
