I need to know if i owe anyone anything in trade I will be leaving the trading scene.
It seems to me that no matter how hard you try some people can not be satisfied with anything you do.
I cant take it and wont put up with it.
I would like to get any trades that i owe taken care of before i leave.
Thank You All for your friendship and all the Lovely trades we have done.

CLOSED: Need to know?
Oh, Robbie what has happened? Email me privately if you want to.

If you stay I will send you a seed. :)
You are a wonderful lady and trader - don't let them run you off.
PS - You could just do private trades with those who know and love you!
Agreed! They're everywhere in life. Once identified, we can write them off. Don't leave!
Karen :~D
I am sorry to see that someone has upset you.
I agree with Sequee.
Gee, if it wasn't for you helping me, I wouldn't have been able to get the Backwards Twisted Robin up and flying! And we all know how important that is...LOL
Please stay and give us all another chance.

Robbie, You would not believe some of the emails I get. Just let it roll off your back like water off a ducks back. I will share and give just about anything..Which sometimes has nothing to do with seeds. I love people and love to share, give, and interact. But there's a thin line between love and hate. I can get really ugly too! I will forgive..forgive..and forgive. But I don't forget and will cut someone off with the quickness! I remember my very first trade..I was in tears with this woman. We can not please everyone all of the time. I now realize that some people are miserable, and misery sometimes likes company. You are right, you don't have to put up with anything. As long as you know you've done your best. What more can you do? Also NEVER be afraid to say No. This will eat you up if you try to please everyone. I'm just talking from my own personal experience. I believe all are innocent until proven guilty. But once you prove yourself guilty with me...your lost not mine. I'm sure Dave might erase this line...But my Motto is "BITE ME!"
Let it be yours too!! ha ha ha ha
Diane! If you stay I will send you a seed. :)
ROFLLL!!!!! LMBO!!!!!! gota laugh at this one Robbie!
Please don't go we need the good traders here. The bad ones don't last long, don't let them spoil it for you.
i think everyone above has said it perfectly.
PLEASE stay with cream on top!!! things will get better. just write that person off and dont trade with them no more. for all the bad there is ten times the good here. Please stay.
OH I love you all, I am not leaving Dave's I love it here and all of you, but I wont be doing any trading for a while,
somehow someone found out how to get my home email Addy and my messenger id and wont let me be.
I would love to keep doing trades but with this person bugging me for something i know i sent 2 times with confirmation the 2nd time so i know she got it,I am going to stop for a bit.
i could prove she got them then she said that they were the wrong seeds, and we didn't have a trade really, i saw that she was looking for something i had and i said i would share just send an SASE with 80 postage.
well first of all not enough postage when i get it,{ no problem } i have added postage before as i am sure some of you must have done it for me a time or two.
And i even put in a few of the seeds i only had 3 or 4 of, rare ones.
And now i get emails everyday i cant even be on line without her finding me its like she is a hacker or something.
I turn on my yahoo messenger and bam there she is.
so if i just stop trading i wont get theses kind of people bothering me.
But i will lurk from time to time just to see what you are all doing.
I might try to do a little privet trading as sequee said.
I don't know right now what i will do but i am glad i have you all here at Dave's.
I don't need the messenger anymore if people can find you that easy while on them.
I hate it cause thats how i talk to the boys in the 278th.
You are all right i know, i will have to be a duck and let it roll off me, but sometimes it is hard when you have done all you can and the person still wont let you be.
This has never happened like this before i have had a few people to harass me but this girl is getting into my messenger and that is too much if she can do that what else can she do?
I don't like hackers when the kids did the yahoo messenger thing and they would get hacked it would through a bug in the works and i would have to do a lot of cleanup on this thing to get it back right.
my firewall tells me every time she gets in to the messenger and it even has her ip address it keeps her out of my computer but she can turn off my messenger.{getting rid of this if i cant fix it with the firewall}
got to get a new firewall this weekend i am thinking of going with Norton.
That should do the trick cause my fire wall Black ice isn't stopping her.
Thank You all for your concern i wont leave Dave's...,But I wont do any trading for a while, till i see if she is going to leave me alone.
I sent her a email letting her know i would post her name if she didn't STOP what she was doing to me.
I hope it works.
Thanks all I love you.
I sure thought i owed someone something.
You all put a smile on my face thank you for that.

i would go to yahoo and tell them she is stalking you. also your own internet company get them to change your ip address due to stalking.
if need be go to your poilce dept . this falls under the law stalking and when she or he starts doing things to your computer and stuff she can get a hold of a lot more. i wouldnt mess with this. i would call the law because if it was me i would be worried and scared by now.
also another thing go change your password on yahoo. make it harder for her to get into it.
but seriously take action now it just may get worse if they are doing this to you.
also talk to Dave if you know who she is with this. best of luck
I wouldn't give up on talking to my kids on yahoo messenger because some idiot is out there. You can log in as invisble and let your kids know your there. If she is finding you while your invisible, I can give you instructions on how to close out your yahoo, to where she can not tell your online, even when your invisible.
Hello, rh. We've never traded, but I've seen you on the boards and wanted to suggest a little something. :)
If you have Yahoo Messenger 6 (I don't know about previous versions), you can block messages from an individual by doing the following:
From the "Messenger" tab, select "Privacy Options", then "Ignore List", and set the "Ignore only the people below" button. Click on "Add", type in the meanie's screen name, then Click "Ignore".
Wishing you peace,
Donna
Edited... I didn't read closely enough and it sounds like there's a larger issue at stake. :( I'm leaving the rest of this message, though, in case someone else wonders how to ignore a person on YIM.

You can put a block on that person in messenger and you won't get their messages........yeah what tuttifruitti said! LOL, sorry for the echo!
deb
Thank You, I went into my messenger and did as you said she has been blocked.
I am also going to call my local web server and find out about changing my ip.
I changed all of my passwords and am in the process of taking all my info off the web sites i trade on.
Wouldn't you know it..., i don't go to my page at gw often and today i did and my email is on my page now i know how she found it.
I have turned off all my email for GW just a few min ago.
I don't think i will let anyone send me mail unless they are answering a post i started.
I need to watch what all i put out on line, i never knew someone could do the things she is doing,and all over some stupid seeds i was giving her.
OH well live and learn, it was scary the first few times it happened but it was just maddening after that.
I have been on here for 20 min or more and no problems as of yet, hope she took the warning and stopped.
Thanks to you all for your words of kindness and for your help with the messenger and ip.
Talk to yall later.
RH
rh, don't go far, you were one of the first (and best) I traded with, it was folk like you that enticed me to be a member, we will all miss your trades.
Doris
Blocking her name will only work until she signs up with another name. I am not familiar with yahoo, but in IM, you can block anyone who isn't on you buddy list. If you do that, the IM will send you a message that "so and so" is trying to send you a message, and ask if you want to allow it. Try that. I'm sure there is a way to do it in yahoo as well.
Good luck.
We shall boil them in oil!!!!! I'll get the feathers!
Yep Yep blocking works on yahoo too.
i think i will have to stop putting all of my info on the web it only causes trouble for me.
I havent had any problems today and i hope she has thought about all that i said to her in my last email this morning.
I think i will just take a few weeks off from trading and work on getting my flower beds ready.
I have a ton of work to do in the yard,so i will take this time to catch up on all that i have put off.
Thanks,See ya around the forums
RH
So glad to hear that my info helped, RH! And now you can focus on the important things, like the actual gardening we're all yearning to commence. 'Tis good for the soul. :)
Something else good has happened through this, too. You've gone through and changed passwords on everything, which we *ALL* should do from time to time in securing our own computers and accounts, but typically don't. You've now probably better off than any of the rest of us. GOOD JOB!
Looking forward to getting to know you better through Forums,
Donna
P.S. If you ever want to test whether you can block someone new from IMing you without your permission, feel free to email me here on DG and we'll set up a little test just so you can see that it works. :)
Thanks Donna I will do that.
I am so glad i haven't been bothered tonight.
it wasn't fun this past week, just trying to stay out of site was hard.
i love to come here and be on my messenger at the same time, so i don't miss the boys when they are on line.
I have got to get to studying some of the books my son sent me on how to do all kind of stuff with this thing.
I know how to do a few thing's but not as many as i would like too.
I can get to the sites i like and clean the cookies and run Norton system works for the things i don't know how to do.
I spend a lot of money on this thing, just getting it fixed when one of us mess it up.
I can clean out old programs and do the simple stuff but i have to be walked through some thing's.
LOL @ me i didn't want the thing in the first place and now i am the reason we will never be without one.
See ya around the forums,
RH
This is so sad.:(
RH
Have you remember you send me rhizoms of Anemone when I was a nonsubscriber member and here is a picture of your plants which are bloomed here.
Kaleem
oh gumlla they are lovely thank you for posting the pic.
{Big Grin} :}
Love you all see ya around in a few weeks bye till then.
RH
Lovely flowers Gumlla, and look at all those buds! Very nice!
Oh, Robbie!!!! I'm so glad you're staying. Just ignore that.... girl (I was going to use a stronger word but decided not to). Eventually, she should give up if she doesn't get any response and satisfaction from her actions.
We all know that you're one of the great ones! Haven't all the great friends and trades overshadowed the occassional bad eggs? You just get one once in a while, like some one else here said, let it roll off you!
I'm sorry for your problems, but I'm so glad you're staying. You are a real asset here and such a nice person, Robbie!
Happy gardening.
Susan
I wanna know who it is. I don't wanna be harassed.
I know you don't wanna post someone's name on here and talk trash but you could at least leave her negative feedback so we can all see who it is. She'd probably do it back but at least you can comment to that.
Maybe I'm wrong. But I don't wanna deal with soeone like that.
Michelle
How true Michelle, neither would I.
~* Robin
I thought that was the reason why we all wanted the feedback option to begin with.
Michelle
hello all i am back.
And she is no longer a problem for me.
I have been gone for a while and when i got on line today to check my emails i had 305 of them and not one was from her Thank Goodness.
the moderator in the yahoo group took care of her for me.
I was hard not being able to sign on at DG but I am haveing fun lurking around today reading up on all that i have been missing.
see you around the foums.
:}
RH
Woooo Hoooooo!
Welcome back, Robbie! Missed your posts!
I found this thread a while ago & was hoping you'd be able to shake loose this creep.... sorry you had a bad experience. I'm glad you didn't give up!
Thank You It was hard to stay away for so long I missed everyone bunches, but I got tons of things done in the yard.
I still have a ton more to go, but it has been most satisfying for me.
I think I will have to start doing some night time gardening, so I can get every thing ready before the fair gets here.
I would love to have a new entry for the show this year.
I guess I will close this thing here so I can catch up on everything that has been going on have a good day!
:}
RH
Yes, Robbie! We certainly missed your posts!
