AndreaSmondria 03/7/2008

i was thinking. i love the you've got mail and i think im capable of being in control of one. but im a sweet tooth, junk food, don't care if i get fat kinda girl ( i need to gain 20 pounds) and i got to thinking! so i want to know if people would be interested in a YGM food edition . i figure we only need about 10 or so to make it a nice haul and thats a minimum maybe even leesss if we have too. but i think it would be sweome. cuz you would get packages of sweets!!!!

NEED I SAY MORE????? i dont think so... i know theres a bunch of sweets lovers out there!

let me know!!!!

GaijinGirl 03/7/2008

Yay! I've been wanting to get in on a YGM, and I love food, especially sweets! Count me in :)

pahasiga 03/7/2008

Only if you promise I won't be the one receiving this heap of sweets. :)

GaijinGirl 03/7/2008

I'll take yours and mine pahasiga :) LOL. Well, since Andrea needs the extra lbs maybe I'll share with her ;)

pahasiga 03/7/2008

That's a good idea... Those who needs extra lbs will be among sending-and-receiving, and those who just cannot do without buying sweets but doesn't need extra lbs, will get her need satisfied and send extra lbs away to these who need them, i.e. be only sending. Yeah, cool.

I haven't been in any YGM before because I have been afraid of such a long-term commitment - I'm not sure that I would be able to send something more than a postcard every week (and just a postcard would be too cheap, wouldn't it?). But to buy chocolate every week - well I do it almost everyday anyway...

bubblygreek 03/7/2008

count me in!!!

Carolina 03/7/2008

Count me in too! My mouth is watering already! (Is that how we say it in English?). :9

I'm just wondering... What will be the amount $ of sweet we have to buy to each winner? I'm not the richest person right now, you know... :P

Justmeth81 03/7/2008

OH YEAH I would so be in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Justmeth81 03/7/2008

Maybe for those who want to join but don't want to receive thier names could be left out of the drawing. Still send but not receive or maybe if you don't want sweets she could say please no sweets send something else this go round!! I wouldn't mind!!!

As for $ amount ~ IF you get 10 or more people & they each send two items that would be 20 or more candy bars!!!LMAO I would be tickled to pieces!!!

LisseasLuxuries 03/7/2008

I'm in...please. I am new to this type of swap...any explaination on how it works...I think I kinda know, but would love the "real" rules.

CajunLady 03/7/2008

AndreaSmondria, I would so join. But unfortunately, I'm one of those girls who has about 20-40 pounds she could give you since you need to gain it! I swear, some people. All about I need to gain weight. Well I need to lose it. Someone needs to come up with a fat transplant surgery! Cuz I got enough to go around!! ~lol~

Crystal8577 03/7/2008

if we cut it off at a low number I'll join. I'm in a few YGM & I think it may be years before my name gets picked :( :)

pahasiga 03/7/2008

Count me in as a sending-only member! Even if I'd eat just two chocolate bars less every week because instead of eating I'd send it out, it still would be worth it. :P

rebowyer2000 03/7/2008

if you still have room, i'd like to join. not clear on what limit you are setting, or who is in, but it sounds fun. i will have to fight my children for some of it, but it still sounds fun.

florian 03/7/2008

i`d like to join. i love chocolate:)

dimanche 03/7/2008

I want in!

Carolina 03/8/2008

When are we going to start this? I'm hungry already! LOL!

AndreaSmondria 03/8/2008

WOW! i wasn't expecting such a response so quickly. And so many! im excited. so about the particulates

Q. Dollar amount on the candy?

A. i dont think theres a need for a dollar amount but it can be as little as say two bars or two packages of candy and as big as you like.

Q. the option to ask for a little something instead of sweets, if your weight conscience,BUt still want to send candy? * I personally dont have a problem with it. as well it would be two small items or more if you wish to send more. BUt i want to make sure that this is ok with everyone else participating.

Q. will there be a cap at how many people? * Seeing as this is my first running of a YGM i would like to make the first run with probably no more than 30 people just to get the hang of it than if it goes smoothly i would open it up to more.

Q. Who is this open too? * This would also be international because i love foreign sweets

Now i need your opinion on this one. i was thinking " if theres only one a month than it takes forever" so i was thinkin' over having two. but than would it be better to draw every two week? two at the one time? or just have one a month?

other than that im ready to start for April. so those who have show interest please send me your info Via PM. i will write up a list of the user names who are participating and post that in a new thread that i will dedicate to the food YGM!!!

IM EXCITED!

bubblygreek 03/9/2008

just sent my details!

Carolina 03/10/2008

I'm in too! :D

anaheimblackmailer 03/10/2008

What is a YGM?

Crystal8577 03/10/2008

You got mail. One winner is picked & everyone send to them

GaijinGirl 03/10/2008

I agree Andrea, if we have 30 people, 1 a month could mean almost 3 years before my name comes up! Since candy is so quick and easy to get I think 2 per month would be much better. Drawing 2 names once a month would mean less work for you, but drawing 1 every two weeks would give each winner their own "time to shine". Whichever way you prefer!

AndreaSmondria 03/10/2008

im going to go with two a month one every two weeks. so number 1 will announced april 1st and number two april 15th and so on...

Crystal got it perfectly right, a ygm or you've got mail is simply a tag where one person wins and everyone sends to that person.
