Birds of a Feather

speaking of tanks... that stupid goldfish of mine that tried to off hisself has made a complete recovery, aside from the missing scales. Even the red is almost completely gone from his tail! I need a bigger tank...

So sorry for your loss Keyt

Thanks guys.

So I need some advice. What do you do if someone you considered a very dear friend, who helped you in many ways and you looked up to suddenly stops talking to you and you don't know why? I have emailed this person several times both here on BYC and regular email and haven't received a response. BF is just as confused and worried and suggested I call this person but I'm afraid to for a few reasons.
The only thing I can think of is last weekend this person asked my advice on something and I gave my suggestions but may have said something I shouldn't. I don't know. I thought this person felt the same way so it wouldn't have been such a big deal but they stopped talking to me after that email.

Any ideas? Aric keeps trying to push me to call but I'm really afraid. I have been really hurt and upset by it and just don't know what to do.


The good news is bf started putting the metal roof on our small house!!!

Not a clue. You can do so much, then that's it... Let the other person make the next move.

 

[keyt1969]

That's what I'm afraid of, that they won't. Then I'm really caught because they have something of mine that I NEED back very soon!

 

[NovaAman]

Well, in that case, call and email a message, saying that you are going to show up on such and such a date and time to pick up your possession, and could they please leave it by the door, or whatever safe and dry location outside so you can retrieve it. Failing that, could they drop it off to you, and leave it in such and such location if they do not wish to visit, thanks very much, it is appreciated.

I more or less did that. I gave them Aric's email address and asked them to arrange a time for Aric to get it since he works near their place. Neither of us have received a msg. It's just so heartbreaking because I really looked up to this person. Aric and I both really, REALLY hate it when people act mad but won't give a reason why. As he said, this person may think we did something but how can we do anything without knowing what it is?? Sigh.


Well, a few people have asked for photos of our chickens because I'm always taking pics of the ducks or pigs. So I finally went in there and sat down and got some shots. I'll share some later but for now I need to go lay down. Feeding everyone and getting pics wore me out. I feel a little bit better today but still cough some and feel weak.

Oh, we sold the last coop of the year. Well, unless someone orders one.

Glad you're feeling better, Keyt! Hopefully the person will return your item soon

I would wait out .. maybe if you said or did something they perceived as wrong they will calm down and also remember that they need to give the item back .... hope you work things out !?!
