Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[madamwlf]

Krazy are you trying to say moving is hard work? LOL we've been in our house over a year, but I still have a wall of boxes to open. I'm seriously wanting to chuck it all, but then we would just end up buying more junk. Or I should say my hubby and son will buy more toys. I should get rid of most of my dress clothes though as its highly unlikely I'm going to need them on the farm. That in itself would get rid of probably 20 boxes. Hmmmmm a project for the next rainy day.

Forgive me for butting in--- KEEP your dresses, you will want a night out once in a while. Or you can live like I do: some days I change 6 times from farm clothes to town clothes and back again. I"m sure to mismatch at some point, usually wrong shoes! Left on my barn shoes.

yuk!

I have 5 Rhodebar out! I'm waiting for them to dry off enough to see what I have. I put 8 eggs into lockdown with 5 out so far! Yay! Maybe the hatching hodoo has gone away.

Ok guys.
I found a woman selling a 10 month old rottie female. Problem is; she's 3 hours away and $400. My husband is not going for it, although he wants her, due to the distance and money. He said he would pay or he would drive, but its too expensive to do both. Soooo, I am trying to make like $150 to pay the woman without my husband knowing it so he thinks its a good deal. Sheesh.
So, if anyone is interested in side swapping with me, I can ship BCM and Dutch eggs this coming week, or Salmon Faverolle after my three outstanding swaps. I can do up to a dozen, except for the faverolles, I can only do 6 on those in a shipment. Please PM me if interested. Thanks

no, no...to sum up: 

CPL, who has been a really generous and avid swapper in the past has had a lot of life-issues lately. And some people were getting worried that she had dropped off the edge of the world because she has also been completely avalanched by pm's.  (But without any communication, they did not know what was up.)  This was compounded by a couple of boxes of eggs that didn't arrive in good shape because of her husband trying to help packing them.  BM6 was kind enough to let us in on a bit of what was going on because she's a friend and knows her offline also.  but unfortunately now CPL is overwhelmed and feeling like everyone has ganged up. 

Life does get overwhelming sometimes. but letting people in can also be cathartic, too.  People want to be understanding and can be if they know what is going on.

it is an unfortunate situation. I want to hug everyone but I cant.

Wow thank you SO MUCH!!, yes life happens and several people here have been nice enough to send me the highlights of people bashing me and BM6 lately. Do I need to remind everyone that I started this swap? I have no intention of cheating anyone of anything least of all some eggs. I don't take full credit for the success of the swap, Madamwlf 1st started offering her CCL and Tolbunts on the swap and that helped me make the decision to offer my rare breeds to all. I am super glad Madamwlf offered to take the swap at the 1st of the year. Giving it up was one of te hardest decisions I have ever made in my life, and I was a corporate executive for years before I became disabled so I have made some hard decisions in my life. With my mother in law dying in my living room this Winter and my declining health, giving up the swap turned out for the best. I have been told some people are calling me "Wayne" seriously?? Give me a break, sticks and stones and all that. If I intended to rip anyone off here I would have been long gone. I want to thank all the people who have sent me encouraging PM's especially my Christian friends. Pysanksi girl. I am so sorry to hear about your recent troubles.

So publicly so there is no confusion I am setting the last of my eggs this Sunday/Monday for chick shipping and then I will resume sending out eggs. To those who have been especially nasty during all of this I will be sending you paypal refunds, I do not care to waste my rarebreed eggs or time and money on you.

I want to thank everyone who has been supportive communicated or not communicated, I know who you are. I apologize for my absence and lack of communication these past few months, I will try to make myself more avalible now. I do still have over 300+ PM's to answer and I will try to get to them all.

And to those whining about me buying birds on RBA recently, I make no apologies it is much easier to make a bid on RBA in a few seconds and get offline than to answer PM's or check the chat board. Forgive me and as always I plan to share eggs/chicks from any newly acquired breeds.

Please if you have any issues with me or questions PM me instead of stewing about it, I will try to get back to you as soon as I can.

It is good to hear from you. I hope that life starts being a bit kinder to you. You have been through a lot this year! I look forward to you being all caught up and back with us again. Please stay in touch, even if just a weekly update here, it helps to know you haven't forgotten us (I never claimed anything from you, but I have enjoyed your presence here). Thank you for starting this swap, it really has been good for me and I love the group of people it has attracted.

I am an optimist and believe you will make good on all your swaps because you seem to have an honest presence.
