THANKS - AND THANKS FOR NOTHING
"Helen J. Foss" wrote in message ... For several years now I have posted 'FREE SEEDS - POSTAGE PAID' on rec/gardens and received multi requests for tomato seeds. I filled the requests for what folks asked for. Took the time to label the individual little 'baggies', insert the seeds, secured them between cardboard sheets and mailed them off at my own expense. I didn't, and don't have a problem with this. I put together over 300 packets last fall alone and enjoyed doing it. The ONLY thing I asked in return was that the recipients of my labors, notify me when they received the seeds....I don't think that was too much to ask for. A few offered me some different seeds, which I though was a nice gesture on their part, and I accepted the offer. To this day I have not received any seeds, but that doesn't really bother me as much as the fact that a few of the ones I sent seeds to, didn't have the common courtesy to sit at the keyboard for one minute, and tell me they received the seeds....how long does it take to say 'I got them'? I have sent seeds to many States, Alaska (I know it's a State), Australia, United Kingdom and Wales and received reports that the seeds have done well in their area. Now suddenly I'm receiving further requests for seeds, and have already maialed out over 150 packets, for which I have received replies of their arrival. To the folks that sent me messages telling me of their arrival, I say a BIG THANK you, and hope I'll be able to send you some new and different seeds next fall. To the folks that were too busy to spend a minute on the keyboard, I say THANKS FOR NOTHING, and there will be no further shipments from this source. To those who want to flame me, just want to say that I had to vent my disappointment in certain people that have no time to show a little common courtesy to a fellow gardener. Hope you all have a great growing season and abundant crops. It isnt FREE if you demand some sort of payment............and it looks like you do. Expectation breeds resentment. chaz- |
