So how does this work? I added my email address to list. What happens next?

You will have to wait for Tasha to send you an email with your penpal names who you are responsible to buy up to 10 dollars worth of goodies and shipping cost( I paid 13 due to they were out of small flat rate boxes <5.80>at the post office so I had to use the Medium flat rate box) is separate from the 10 dollars. Once you receive her email you should have everything you need to shop for them and make contact to ensure you have everything you need and then expect an email from someone who will be your penpal (sending you something) will be emailing you instead of you emailing them asking questions that they may want to ask specifically about goodies they can send. The list has already gone out for March and people should be or have received their packages by now. I cant wait for April , my penpal this month was awesome. I hope that clarifies how it works and once you receive your package you are supposed to show thanks to your penpal and post on " what I got from my penpal" thread..

That other one is not working my penpal was actually the one who was trying to start it but there wasn't enough interest but your right its $15-20 but seem people may not be able to afford it so I guess for those $10 min .....

I just got home from a super stressful trip and had a wonderful care package waiting for me from my pen pal. It was such an awesome surprise and everything in it was amazing. It was a much needed boost to my spirits.

Tasha,

I'm sorry but I just have to say this.... I hope you understand and maybe it will help and maybe it won't I don't know....

Hey you know what I got from my Pen Pal in February.... nothing, they didn't send me a box.... I'm glad I sent my box out though....cause the Pen Pal I had loved the items I included in her box....

You know what I got in my box from my Pen Pal in March..... nothing, my second Pen Pal didn't send out a box either... And I sent out two box in March because of a miscommunication I wanted to make sure what has been happening to me didn't happen to others, so I had two names and I sent to both.... I know at least one person loved the items in her box because she sent me a message thanking me, I'm sure the other person enjoyed the items too......

Seriously folks if your going to sign up for this Pen Pal project, at least follow through and do what you promise to and if your having your surgery in a particular month (like I'm having my surgery on April 8, I plan to not participate for April because I know it will be too hard to deal with my health and trying to deal with filling a box with items and mailing it off.... so sit out the month of your surgery or if you insist on being in the project, as I said earlier, have the decency to follow through and send out your box.

I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm bitching or whatever, but I am sure I am not the only one this has happened to, I know the person organizing this whole thing didn't get a box in February either.... it's just not fair.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
