'Looks like your plant collection is prospering as well. Congrats on the new son!
Thanks man! My Nepenthes collection is finally complete (minus the aristo I can't find), and a few hybrids.
Good to see ya bud.
Couldn't tell ya, I hadn't been on for nearly 3 months when I received the ban email. I can assume what it was for though. However, that means I got banned for a year over nothing forum related. But it is what it is, and it can stay in the past where it belongs.
And to answer your next question of what I assume the reason was.., my best friend was murdered in his home along side his wife and their two dogs, I resorted to an old drug addiction to cope with my downward spiral of depression, and as a result, I failed to ship hundreds of dollars worth of plants in the meantime. But ya know, I'll never forget that last night I laid the pipe down forever, because it was the same night I found out my wife was pregnant with our baby boy. That was 9mo and 8 days ago.. and counting.
Since then, I've paid off all of the PayPal claims filed, and have done my best to hunt down and repay those who were unable to file. I've faced numerous consequences, and lost a bunch of friends. I did however, find out who I hurt beyond repair, who my real friends were, and who's a judgmental donkey sitting on a high horse. TONs of those last people around here! Never wronged them, but the first to past judgment. But hey, all bad things happen for good reasons I guess. Because I've never been happier with my life, my friends, or my plants. Everything is great. I know life will always have it's curve balls, but I also know (now), there's better ways to deal with the depression that comes with it. New plants seem to help.
I hope that answers your question(s). I'm man enough to own up to my actions. Good and bad..Like I said, it is what it is. And let the Block party commence!
