So these are the few rules this round will have!
I trust everyone to keep up with her pal! I don’t want to have to put up rules on this (ex. 250 plus posts of stupid things like that!)
I am going to put in the 3 strikes your out rule. If you don’t keep up with your pal then you’re letting them down. I will not accept that.
I’m just kind of copying the secret sister. Not completely. But I need a bit of a starting place!
Please keep in contact with your pal at least three times a week. Everyday would be great!
Once you receive your pal. Send them a pm to check up on them. Get to know each other.
Send a PM on here, e-mal, snail mail. Any way you can think of!
Let me know if your pal is not coming through!
I was thinking we keep this going for a month. Then we can add new people in and we can switch the pals up. That way if some ones SO are coming home soon they can be taken out. This way everyone should be kept happy. This is just the first round so things might change by the time we get to round too!

Please stop sending me forms till I ask for them!
That next round starts june 8th!

PM me your forms!
They are due by May 7th!
(If you think anything should be added let me know)

once I get your form I'll send you a Pm back letting you know
If you don't get a message back within a few days let me know!

I think what you are doing is great! Thank you for getting this started.

I will PM you in 5 minutes :) thanks so much!

DB isnt currently deployed, but if you have odd numbers I would love to adopt someone!

watch out for join 8th! we will have another round start

If we already did it this round, can we do it agian?

yeah
the reason we restart each month is because new people join and some SO get very close to coming home so they might want to drop out.
This keeps it from getting old. Plus you get a new pal each time!

Can't wait for June 8th round to start....My DH just deployed...he's been gone a week tomorrow and I'm trying to recover from pneumonia. Hope everyone has a great night

i dunno if i'm doing next round. i really tried to keep in touch with my pal, but she's never even initiated contact with me and only responded to me twice :( boo.

Also Im about to start a theard to here about ever one and their pal. If they don't reply to the thread by the time we start a new round they can't play in the next round.
I've heard about too much flaking to far and I'm upset about it :(

am I signed up and not know it? I dont want to let anyone down

did you submit a form? the list was posted almost a month ago. I don't know why ppl are freaking just realizing that oh look I signed up for this.
sorry people have frustrated me a lot with this.. I wish I could pin things so I wouldn't have to ask to have them pinned!!!

Can someone pm to remind me to sign up for the next round?? Pretty please. :)

are you going to be starting a new thread for sign ups?

If you are starting a new round? I would love to join, can you let me know????

Thanks!!

A new thread will be made. You will have to look at it and check in this page to see about postings and rules and who your pal is!
