Yeah, I knew she was online righthandman because I logged in to a bunch of likes this morning. I also just want to point out that she's not the only one with a new baby. And although I don't have kids, I know babies are hard. I don't want to call her an asshole, because I'd like to think there's some sort of halfway innocent explanation. I'm just hurt, honestly. DH got me a new Legos video game to make up for it yesterday, so I'm not totally out My gift was most expensive. Nah nah. Lol. So when you haven't acknowledged the gift after the deadline Elfster reminds you. There's an option to say you haven't received it yet, which pops up a window so you can email your Santa. Oh my god, guys. What would you even say in a message like that? Yeah, this is where I am. Like, if we found out that she had experienced a personal tragedy and it derailed everything, it would affect my assessment. She should still have sent a message, or at minimum post an effusive apology yesterday, so it wouldn't completely change the scenario, but it would mitigate it. But yeah, lots of people have managed to do SS with new babies, or skip it if they didn't think they'd be able to. I’m an asshole, because I have no problem calling her an asshole. She’s been on HTH liking posts multiple times since names were drawn. If she did have a personal tragedy, she could’ve used the time she spent on liking posts, to notify linger and bellaluna.

Okay so what happened was I forgot my password and so I clicked "sign in with FB" and that made me a new account and I didn't realize it right away. Sorry to those I inconvenienced! I'm just picturing you in my head when you realized what happened, going "ohshitohshitohshit!" I'm sure it wasn't funny to you at the time, but everything worked out and it made me laugh. That is literally exactly what happened. Exact words.

Who would have thought that LINGERLONGER would be the nice one out of all of us? I kid, I kid! But I'll be a dick: 1) Not a brand new baby. At all. 2) Don't sign up.3) Babies can sometimes be hard, but it's not 24/7, you always have 5 minutes and that's enough because (See #4) 4) THAT'S WHAT AMAZON IS FOR. Even if you thought "OH SHIT" three days ago, LINGERLONGER should still have a gift in her lap right now. All praise Amazon Jesus. I'm sorry that this happened This is where I am, full stop. An infant does not give you the excuse to be a jerk, and I hate that people give others that out. "Oh, you acted in a supremely sucky manner, but you have a baby so you totally get a pass!" Nah.

This baby WILL NOT SLEEP. 646 A.M. he's in my lap WIDE AWAKE. Send him to me. I just had coffee and could use some baby snuggles/play time. Stuffing him in a box as we speak. I'll but a bottle in with him and a few diapers.

Can you drug him dirrtybutter? I kid, I kid. But really.... Lol LMC, I can assure you if it was anyone else here I'd be leading the charge and carrying the biggest pitchfork. I'm not nice. I just care less about getting fucked over than I care about someone else getting fucked. Also, meh, it's a gift. It's not life or death. Also I love you and thank you.

This is exactly it. It's OK to need to back out in an emergency. Really, it is. There are PLENTY of us (I would venture to say literally everyone else in the exchange) who would have been more than willing to send another gift or contribute towards another gift. There is truly no excuse for not reaching out for a full month.

As I said in an earlier post today, if she'd said, "Something terrible happened, and my gift will be late. I'm so sorry," I think people would understand. Going silent? Yeah, no.

I almost sent a "Hey, did you forget me?" But I already knew the answer.

So does anyone want to chip into a GoFundMe to buy LINGERLONGER a pony? I mean, it's a really practical gift that I think she would enjoy.

There is truly no excuse for not reaching out for a full month. I daresay that if Linger's address was public knowledge, she'd be getting a shower of gifts next week. I truly can't comprehend having the time to read and like posts, but not figure out SS or back out of it. Shit happens, life gets in the way, whatever. We're a reasonable group of people. Just SAY SOMETHING. Avoiding the whole deal is incredibly shitty. Are we taking bets on if @rajahbfmd is ever going to come back once she realizes the shit she's in?
