To those upset that Kym has not yet returned "payment" for hammocks you
sent - I'd like to suggest that you try looking at the situation through
generous eyes, rather than aggrieved eyes.  You ARE a generous person,
really, right?  that's why you sent the hammock - after all, you could
have gone to the local sweet shop for the fudge.
 
Maybe at one time or another you've donated a hammock, or something of
equal value or which required equal work, to someone who needed it.
Maybe you should try to consider the hammocks you sent Kym a donation
rather than an exchange.  Then you can feel generous - heck, you can even
deduct it from your taxes next year.  You can accrue good karma, or expect
your gifts to be returned to you threefold, whichever works for you.
And if the time should come when Kym is able to follow through with the
yummies - what an added bonus.
 
Meanwhile, maybe we should worry about Kym - why would a person caring and
committed enough to run a ferret shelter not have followed through?  Just
over-committed?  Or maybe ill health or personal or financial problems?
 
Just suggestions...
