EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Phage]

Thing is, if she'd not immediately come at me aggressively and rudely I'd have been willing to do something for her like a free bar or a coupon. But no, she didn't just say "hey the bars are a little underweight even accounting for the variance of hand cutting, can you work with me?" and instead said "what gives? you aren't a real hippie I want free stuff to compensate". If you are intentionally complaining to get something for free I'm less inclined to want to do anything for you. And then when I reminded her that I do mention it's possible since water evaporation and hand cutting both factor into the weight of a bar when it arrives to you she got even worse and I ended up having to report her to the site for her harrassment. She was actually saying things like "you're a fraud and not a real hippie and you should honestly go kill yourself."

She sounds like a bit of a psycho but I like Benny's idea, and would prefer to err on the side of over sending product, especially if there may also be an unknown amount of water evaporation

Not Habalicious. Oh poop.

Poor habs... sigh.

I've since bought a miter box which allows me to be a lot more accurate. I actually end up over-cutting bars more often now and they end up a little bigger than even water evaporation will cover. But even so, her reaction was totally uncalled for over a bar of soap which even she admits still was a quality product despite the variance.

So my kid apparently takes after me and already has tiny teeth nubbins threatening to cut out of his gums. I got my first teeth at 2 months and he's only a month old. We showed his relatives at his cousin's baby's birthday party tonight and apparently early teeth run in his family too.

Hey folks, long time no see. I'm not entirely sure I was ready to come back here yet, but I kinda feel like everyone I used to talk to a lot should know why I've been gone. I didn't think just being on the site would upset me so badly, but I guess I'm still not over what's happened.

Shortly after I disappeared I was forced to sell my chickens and it's left behind a strange kind of hole. I always thought that I'd be fine if I ever had to sell them all, but I'm not. For the first time in my nearly 28 years of life, I don't have chickens and I don't have them 'safe at home' to look forward to. They're all gone and, after returning here a few moments ago, I realized I'm not ok.

I keep trying to tell myself they're just chickens and I'll get more when we're in a better place money-wise, but waiting for that to happen actually hurts more than I thought it would.

I had a choice and I sold the chickens rather than letting them starve. I had to decide between my horse and my chickens and my horse won because I can't bring myself to send him off into the unknown after all the abuse he suffered at the hands of previous owners.

I made the right choice, but I never thought it would leave a hole like this.

ETA: Just noticed the BYC Friend badge, I know it had to be some of y'all.

I am also chickenless not out of choice. - for the second time.

I understand the feeling but I also know that it is ok, and you will get more when the time is right.

Thanks Phage! I'll certainly get there when the time is right. I'll just miss having them in the mean time.

Hi Raz! You know it's really strange that you just wrote because I was thinking about you and how I hadn't seen you in awhile when I was waiting at the hospital last week. It's good to see you! I was going to ask about you when I got back on here but you totally beat me...lol.

Hey Wicked! That is pretty funny. I just felt like it was time to return. It doesn't matter that I don't have chickens. What matters is that there are so many people here I missed talking to.

Exactly!
