Hi. I'm not new to Swap-Bot any more, but have been in-active for awhile. NOT new to swapping. I belong to one postcard group at Yahoo! and I used to belong to more groups on here, too. I was formerly, Mary Booth.

I'm a newlywed, sort of. Got married on July 9, 2010. I'm 55 and my husband is 62. We are able to get out more than we used to, so I kind of put swap-bot on the side. I hope to get back into it again.

I am a firm believer in rating swaps and in sending out the promised swap. I believe that if you are unable to send out on time, send your partner a pm to let them know!

If you do not intend to send out your swaps, do not sign up. Simple as that. Thank you.

FLAKED ON BY--
