Does anyone know if there's going to be a MW gift exchange this year like last year?
Are you thinking of a Xmas get together with a big secret gift exchange? A car club I'm in does one every year. It's a lot of fun. - ScooterMike1959.8 #35 11-16-12 11:43AMLike Reply
No, last year for Christmas there was a huge gift exchange with 2 options. To do the "Snail Mail Exchange" or "Meet in the parks to Exchange." It looks like a lot of fun, but hard to coordinate. If someone is up for the challenge to keep everything straight, go for it! I love doing a Christmas Card Exchange with everyone! :) - Armenda 993.6 #89 11-16-12 11:45AM
Yeah, I live in Oregon, so it was nice I could participate in the Snail Mail Exchange and give a little something to MW. - Lkphair 166.3 #2067 11-16-12 11:48AM

Having been through some pretty horrific things in my life, I have learned to trust in the fact that every thing happens for a reason. It may take a while to find out what that reason is, but you will see it. Be patient. "That which doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger". Give yourself time to hurt, to grieve, don't feel rushed by others to "get over it". Talk it through to someone, or even just yourself. Write it down. Paint. Let the thoughts out and you will find a way through it. And above all, take care of YOU!! - Gia785.4 #120 6-15-11 10:56PMLike Reply
