Official Squatch Watchers

[Chickassan]

Forgive me ya'll i'm ranting a little. Man even though I said no offered thirty dollars for Marlene. Is he serious? He's impatient...aren't we all? She's not laying and she's not for sale. I offered to hatch him six to eight unsexed chicks and raise them to eight weeks for fourty dollars. Not bad! They'll be healthy and people freindly and by then he should know what he's getting. I think i'm being quite generous. I'm not liking he keeps pushing. He better chill or he can pad his flock at TSC.

Crazy... just want to verify, the "sister" is your son's at the most - half-sister, correct? We had a similar situation w my ex.. after my oldest was born he decided he wanted to contact his 'real' mom. We googled her and got ahold of her landlord who passed on his info. I *thought* she might be sane, but I really should have known better, but meeting her made my ex's mental issues make sense. He had 2 half sisters, we visited them a few times. They encouraged him to cheat on me and hosted a party so he and his mistress could spend NYE together. They literally cropped me out of a photo of my husband holding our daughter. Real crap people. So I totally understand why you guys don't want anything to do w/ them. If they keep bothering you, block their number. If you have verizon they only block for 3 months though. It's stupid. Return to sender any letters they send. She could be trying to contact your son b/c something happened to his dad, but I would think they'd have said that when you talked to them. My friend is estranged from her dad, he was trash and he got sick a while back and wanted to see her before he dies... she said no. Them clearing their conscience always makes the other person feel like garbage.


They can live as long as they don't come near me.


That's what we live w/ here... we still complain & that will happen every winter forever.


Awww nice dog!! Looks really fuffy and friendly.


I hope wherever you are you're not sending it this way.

Yes she would be a half sister at most. I keep thinking this is one of the two girls his now ex had before she met him. Does that make sense????

Basically no genetic relation at all.

Yeah, if something had happened to "dad" she should have said so. She did say she had been looking for him for years.......




Fun fact......
"Dad" did bebop up on my porch about 10 years agoto tell "Robert" he is an uncle. Um ok...... That's great but my sons name isn't Robert.

So it's not like we are unfindable.

What does your son think about all this mess?

THAT is an excellent question.

So my son re "dad"......
"Why would I want to know someone who decided I wasn't worth knowing before I was even born."

Re the random sister.....
"NO I don't want to talk to her. I don't know her and don't care to know her."

It's his choice. I did tell him not to jump to conclusions about her character. I also took down her number in case he changes his mind.

 

[Chickassan]

Well he's pretty set, he's not interested. He's probably being really smart too. He has the number, that is all you can do. I'm just glad you've got those big puppies to discourage unwanted guests.

THAT is an excellent question.

that does happen! It seems many think a chicken is a chicken-- like chicken dinner or some such nonesense

So he basically wants your sweet Marlene??

Heck no!!

You offered to hatch babies for him. I think that's very nice of you.

Lol. I wish him luck with TSC.
Might end up with a bunch of meaties or males.


Yes giant dogs!
Honestly I kinda feel bad for her. If she has questions then she likely is sad.

I picked up 6 black sex links to raise up to 6 weeks for the Pastors Wife. Of course I know that they look like as chicks LOL. They love their new flock too. They are 10 or so weeks old now and should be laying eggs after January

Hubs just texted me the dumbest question! I know they say there are no dumb questions but they are mistaken. He asked me if i'd be interested in selling a hen, as in one of my hens...lol nope. One of his coworkers is down to one rooster and one hen. What in the world good would one more hen do? A few of my girls aren't nice but i'd not sell them. I'm not that nice and nobody's sold me yet lol! I told him i'd happily hatch guy out some when it is possible but no way on the hen. Guy has his eye on Marlene, his flock were her broodmates and he likes those big eggs and big birds. He'll have to wait, that's about all I can tell him.

I'd suggest craigslist. People are getting rid of birds all the time. If he's willing to buy a bird I'm sure there's places all over that they could buy from, esp just ordering online.

Yeah, sounds like he's not missing out on much. I mean, I get her wanting some kind of connection if they are related, but knowing how people can be... you're likely better off. She may have been looking to find him b/c they have all those heartwarming 'finding a long lost family member' stories all over the place now.. but if he's not lost and doesn't want to deal w/ any of that, who can blame him. Personally, I wouldn't want to deal with it. I'm not very family oriented anyway... I have a full brother I haven't seen in about 3 1/2 years and haven't talked to since then. I texted w/ him a couple weeks ago for the first time in forever. Not that I have a problem with him.. we just don't family much.

THAT is an excellent question.

Having her number is good in case he decides he wants to contact her, but that's about as much as I'd do. My brother's ex keeps trying to go through our mom to get to my brother.. he's like IDGAF and my mom won't let it go. I think she's finally realized the ex is just trying to use her (she couldn't figure it out on her own that the ex just wanted someone to put her kid (not my brother's kid) on the bus was the only thing she was looking for)... You really have no idea of some people's motivation so it's better to be cautious in these situations. You did the right thing.

I got a message from the person who was supposed to take the boys almost 2 months ago asking if I still had them. Um, no. I did suggest watching craigslist when they're ready for them. People who bought those TSC chickens in the fall should be discovering they have roosters pretty soon.
