Ok I think we are going to take a break for a few weeks and start up another round from May 1st to June 1st, then we will probably start another round June 15th (not exactly sure about that one yet).
Just an FYI to the ladies who have never done SS before and want to join. You have to have at LEAST 500 post and have been active on SOS for at LEAST 30 days from the date the sign-ups are due. There will be no exceptions.
DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU CANT FOLLOW THROUGH!! You are required to contact your SS (on SOS, e-mail, e-card) at LEAST 3 times every week.

Sooo all of your ladies who want to join, be on the lookout in the next week or two for the questionaire for the next round :woot

Anyone want to make any suggestions for names for the upcoming round? Throw some out there and we'll do like we did this time and take a poll.

so how do you get secret sister? and what do you do exactly. just contact them 3 times out of the week and thats it? I DONT GET IT!! im sorry!!:hide

you sign up, your assigned them. you can send them little care packages, contact them via board or e-card or some way so they don't know its you ....

I am unsure if i wanna do it this time. :thinking
well i have a while to think on it. lol

i would love to participate but i dont think i'd be that reliable.. alot of stuff is going to be happening in the next few months.. UGH.. i got excited for a second..
maybe after everything gets calm ill ask again about this.
thanks for the info.

it's always better to wait if you think you might be MIA for any length of time. It's not fair to your SS kwim. But rounds are pretty regular, so when you do have time to participate there will be round open. :D

ok i will do that as soon as i can!! thanks so much girl.
hopefully around june or somethin after everything is settled!
cant wait. i love sending gifts to people. ha ha.

Awww man! You mean I have to wait another month!!! I didn't have enough posts last time, so I have been patiently waiting.....
As for what to call it, how about Summer Sisters?

Sorry, we are just finishing another round and need some time to re-group and get things set up. Can't do them that close together.

Yep! I'm doing that on a good day, don't need to make it any worse for myself :rofl

If you need any help organizing I'd gladly help.

can't wait!

I'm definitely doing it this round. I was eligible to do it last round but I knew I had too much going on. Yay! I like the sound of "Summer Sisters" too. Simple and sweet. :)

I think I wanna do it this time! Things have been craazy around here but we're finally settling down so it'll be a good time. :)

"Sisters bringing sunshine for the summertime" or "Sisters spreadin' sunshine for the summertime." (I know they're long, but that's what came to my head. LOL!

Or "Summertime Smiles across the miles."

Or since it's May . . . "Sisters gettin' over April Showers by sending out May Flowers."

Ok, I'm done now. LOL!

I am unsure if i wanna do it this time. :thinking
well i have a while to think on it. lol

I'm on the fence about it too...

Unless something major happens, count me IN! :yahoo I love SS! I find it a lot of fun getting to know someone else.

Ok.. I suppose I'll just wait it out... :waiting LOL! I just don't know if I can contain myself!

I'm totally going to sign up!!!!

I'm looking forward to the next round...March flew by for me it was great :) and I had a lot of fun :yes

I am 99% sure I'm not doing this next round

I think I am actually going to do this next round!! I wanted to do it this last time but was chicken (scared I would not be a good sister) but I know I can do it!!!!! I can't wait!

sounds like fun.

I'll be doing this next round!! How much total $'s do people usually spend on their SS? Just want to get an idea. Also, at the end are you supposed to get them a "big" present? Thanks!!

you don't have to spend any money. That is the beauty of SS. You just have to make them feel special, via e-cards or just posts on the board. You don't have to get them a big gift at the end.

Count me in for this one! I missed the last one because of family issues and being out of state, but I'm staying put this time :)

I'm going to pass on this round :( Cause I don't know how long it will be till I get internet set up at Ft. Bragg or let alone a house :( But next one for sure!

I couldn't do the last round because I didn't have enough posts but count me in this round. I am stoked :cp How about the theme May Days?

I'll join next round if nothing MAJOR comes up :D

:yay thats perfect timing :) :woot

i'm so excited. i think i'll barely make the 30 day cutoff, whew :D

I HOPE I CANT JOIN THIS TIME...I'LL MAKE A NOTE OF IT, SO MAY 1ST RIGHT? I CAN'T WAIT.

Also remember that you can PM me and I will add anyone who fails to follow thru to the master list of game flakes :D I have it in the staff forum. This isnt to be mean but so that we only have serious peeps playing

i think i may do it...not 100% sure yet.....

OH I want to! I think i can! I have over 500 posts and have been on for more then 30 days. What exactly do I get to do?

I need to PM you anyway about some things that happened during the last round and see what your opinion is of if we should add them to the list or not.

you can send e-cards, post on the board, send them gifts or points donations. Send snail mail cards or gifts via snail mail.
The main thing is to contact your SS 3x a week, via posts on the board, email or what have you. :D

Darn I keep seeing this thread pop up thinking that we are getting ready to send in the info and start everything up... I am so excited!!

I'm glad you're going to join us this round!! It will be fun.

Can't wait for the questionaire. :jump4joy

I'm glad you're going to join us this round!! It will be fun.

I am glad I am too. I wanted to join the last one but because of medical reasons did not think that I would be able to give my ss the attention she deserves.
So now I am bouncing up and down waiting. :D

Yay, I can't wait! I had so much fun last round!

I wanna get back into this this summer. I'm excited - I had so much fun last time I played! But not this next one (finals)... and I'll have to see about the June 15th one (I have a week I have to go home, so it might not be the best).... And.... I'm rambling. But this was a :yahoo Secret Sister post. I hope people have lots of fun!

Thinking about joining this comming round. Seems fun :D

I would love to join....where exactly do I sign up to be a secret sister?

I am so doing this SS this time.....YAY!! I love being sweet to people...just feed that southern hospitality demon i was born with!

i have enjoyed SS the past 2 times i have done it.

Dang it! I was so excited to get to 500 posts so I could do SS this time and now it's changed to 1000 posts! :( :tears. Oh, well I understand totally. There's always next time! So I guess I will have to become a:postwhore. ha ha. Well I will def. do it at a later time then! :D

I am definetly doing it this coming round!!! I can't wait!! I haven't done it since last summer!

Awww man this sounds so neat but I am new and I'm way off on getting the 500 posts needed. Put me on a waiting list and I'll check back when I'm qualified...:(
