UPDATE 2/11/21

ALL SWAPS ARE RATED!!!! I am caught up on everything. Time for an update on what's going on with me. I had a meeting at work on November 4, 2020, that the plant would be shutting down and that everyone would be laid off or we could transfer to another plant if that plant needed what we are. Not wanting to be laid off in this time I told them I would transfer. #WHY did I do that? That started a roller coaster that lastest 3 months and landed me in Odessa, Texas! lol (laughing out loud for those of you who don't do the texting language) On January 5th I signed papers on a new home and that started me on a whole different roller coaster. A month later, I now have everything I need turned on and a mailbox (which took me 45 days to get as the postoffice here says it takes that long to change out a lock) YAY, I now have somewhere to get all my bills and the happy part a place to receive my swaps... I have missed swapping so much. I lived in a hotel while trying to buy a home and that is where my last issues occurred. I tried to do 3 or 4 swaps and have them sent to the hotel I was staying at and they just didn't understand that people living in a hotel need to receive mail as well. They did the best they know how I am sure but that didn't help me on my ratings here with swaps. I'm truly SORRY that some swaps made it to my partners and some did not without resends. (which I was happy to do until my partner got their swap.) Now, I am home in the great city of Odessa, Texas, and ready for life to start again.

March 16, 2016

Hi and happy swapping to everyone!

Thank you all so much for swapping with me in 2016. I'm so looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you better in 2017!!!!

Swap-Bot for me is about having fun! It is #NOT a job for me. I love sending and receiving mail.

I live in a small town with a little over 200 people. I receive my mail from the neighboring town. So, if I put my mail in my box (most of the time) it gets picked up the next day and postmarked the day after that. I always mark my items sent when I put them in the box and raise the flag because they are out of my hands and on their way to you.

I have had 2 surgeries on my left arm and running behind on ratings and getting a swap out!!!! I am working on that swap right now! I am very sorry for my lateness and hope that all understand. If you haven't gotten a swap from me.. Please, please let me know before rating me! I have no problem sending it again if need be!

Update: 1/15/18

I am slowly getting all my swaps redone and getting them out to my Partners! I wanted to update this and take the time to THANK everyone for giving me a chance to resend before rating and a BIG THANK YOU to the last one that I have going in the mailbox tomorrow! CraftyMommaonaBUDGET You are a wonderful person and I thank you so much for understanding everything!

I used a mail service called Postnet in which didn't work out very well for me! It was however cheaper and I'm all about saving a few dollars where I can and thought this would be great! WRONG... Almost every one of my swaps has gone missing and I hope to hear that one day they turn up to all my partners. I have now finished all my resends and am happy to have had very pleasant and understanding partners through all this... Yes, of course, they were late as I had to resend so the 3's are understandable but I have not ever and will not ever flake on anyone!

11/17/2018

As there are a lot of newbie-friendly profile ones I am running late on rating some of them! Please, be patient with me I am doing some every time that I am on. If you notice someone not sending or rating please send me a message as I might not catch it as soon as you have. Thank you all so much for being in these swaps.

Update: 11/28/2018

I am caught up on rating all my swaps but for the internet ones of this week. (the week after thanksgiving) I love hearing from each of you and I will be working on getting each swap rated each and every time that I am on swap-bot.... off to rate...

UPDATE

On December 9 I was admitted into the local hospital and was released on December 15 @ 2:17 pm. I had 3 swaps on my dashboard that I had not completed when I went into the hospital and they are now completed! I hope that my partners will understand the reason why I am late. I am very sorry. If you have sent me mail and have not been rated I will be working on all that today. I truly know what it is like when you send a swap and you are waiting for your partner to give you a rating and of course it is not fun. Thanks to everyone for bearing with me!

Update 4/10/2019

I love receiving mail and sending mail as most all of us do! My thing has always been letters. I love reading a nice little letter from someone whether it be about something serious or just light chit-chat! (weather, planting a garden, or just a hey how are you! ) On 4/8/2019, I received a letter from a person here on swap-bot that apparently didn't like me and let me know all about it in the 3-page letter that they sent! Okay, as we can all tell my ratings are not perfect as I am only human and while some of us here at swap-bot can get hit by cars and still get things sent out on time my body will not let me! I truly wish that it would as there wouldn't be days I would go without getting mail. lol (laughing out loud for those that don't do the texting language) I have and am working very hard to please everyone here and make whatever everyone feels I did wrong, Right..... There was not a need in a letter like this to be sent to me or anyone else for that matter! So, if for some reason you don't like me and we end up in a swap that calls for a letter please DO NOT downgrade me just simply put it on a piece of paper I don't like you and don't want to write you! No one likes everyone and I think that would cover it! I will not rate down for this, I respect your feelings PLEASE, RESPECT MINE!

So apparently no one else is a bad swapper and they are back on me again! (you know the people that can get hit by cars and never miss a beat in their life or a swap)

I really don't feel that I should have to explain to mean and downright hateful people but here we go!

I had a seizure at work and was transported to the local hospital where I stayed for 23 days!!! Diagnosed with being a diabetic after days of no one knowing what was going on with me! While I was in the Hospital it flooded here in TEXAS guess what it was all over the news..... Renting a house if the owner doesn't want to fix it they don't have to soooooooo YES, I lost my home and the floodwaters took all of my belongings! I went home and 3 days later landed right back in the hospital for 9 days!
FYI: knitterofhats and MNJoviGirl … I don't have luck at all! I have FAITH... FAITH in my LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!!!!! I understand that the 2 of you dislike me and HEY that's ok. no one likes everyone but don't you think enough is enough on one person? I am truly very sorry that I was sick and couldn't get out 7 swaps... Honestly, I was more worried about living than a swap.

Update on FORUMS: 2/11/2021

So, it seems that I have made some people upset because I join or host 3 to 5 swaps a week that are quick and or easy swaps to work on getting my ratings up. I have never dealt with in any way the swapper named FeltPrincess nor did I know they even existed. With that being said I will address her on MY OWN PROFILE instead of LASHING out at the world (as I'm been so conveniently accused of in the past)

1. never swapped with you or even knew you were alive

2. I am not controlling how many swaps you join or what type of swap you join.

3. It is not dishonest to host or join 3 to 5 swaps a week to get your ratings up.

4. Most of my swaps have to be mailed so how is that not the old fashion way?

And for your statement (word for word) It pisses me off that she can be in swaps that I can't. This sounds a little childish to me but okay let's go there.
I have worked hard to come back from where I was whether it be internet swaps or mailing swaps. You are hosting 4 swaps now yourself and have a problem with me hosting the same type and calling it dishonest. Hmmm, how does that work? May God Bless you. I'll be praying for you!

With all that is going on, I want everyone to be aware that I wash my hands before doing any swaps and my going out is VERY limited as one of my jobs has shut down till this is over. #However, I will be continuing to work as long as I can and I WILL BE GOING TO CHURCH.

4/15/2020

I am home all the time except CHURCH and the store once a week now. Mask and gloves are worn each and every time I go to the store and to CHURCH.

9/14/20

I am back to work 2 days a week now with wearing mask. Going to church is still with mask and 6 feet apart but no longer in our cars.
