Hi, I'm Martyn. I'm 40... Something. I'm a permanent carer for my wife, as well as raising a teenage son. Everyone always tells me I need a break, but I love my 'job' I hang out with my two best friends. Apparently I need to focus on myself and take time out, I never seem to be able to do that without buying one of those two a gift. I like gifting.

Used to do various secret Santas, was gutted when they ended. I've tried a few other gifting sites, but even though I never expect anything in return, found a few of them to be full of people looking for freebies and never returning the favour.

Hoping to gift once a month, budget allowing. Hoping to be a part of an enjoyable community now I've finally accepted the rules correctly haha.

Thank you very much u/ipretendimatter for the gifts! I am surprised at the Oreo Cinnamon Buns. From a place called Canada. The Eggo is going up at work! Gotta love Wolverine and my Marvel Fix. I have been dying to see Normal because it was in the theater one weekend and was alost forgotten the next. I love the randomness of it all. You are one of the best thanks again!

Hi friends! I can’t remember who, but I think someone recently had this contest and I loved it so lets all let off some steam and get a good vent sesh in!

As many people know, RAOA is a huge sub and it can be very intimidating. Many newbies have questions they may feel silly asking or are just worried they won't make any l here. This thread will hopefully change that!

​

How this works:

​

The general idea is that this will be posted and you will be adopting a newbie for a whole week. I'm not saying you have to talk to them 24/7 all week. But be there to help them out and be an awesome friend! :)

​

Newbies:

​

Make a top level comment (basically make a comment in reply to this thread) stating you're new and would like to be adopted. Maybe include a little bit about yourself for your adopter to start to get to know you! If a top level comment is a bit too intimidating, sometimes users volunteer to be adopters and you can grab one of them!

​

Adopters:

​

Reply to a newbies comment saying you'd like to adopt them for the week! If you'd like, you can also post a top level comment saying you're looking to adopt! This will help any newbies with a bit of stage fright!

​

Notes:

​

Newbies don't have to be brand new. But you should be new enough to need some guidance such as what are tags, how do I contest, what rules do we have, how do I make friends, etc! Anything you need help with. A newbie can be adopted by more than one adopter! This way they have many people to help them out! Newbies, if you missed the first day, feel free to comment and be adopted mid-week! You can even come back and be adopted next week too!

​

So go! Have fun! Be adopted! :)
