Agri-starts.. - Page 15

I am not at all concerned about my plants; I am concerned for Richard. No one should ever think anything negative about him...that's ludicrous.

Taylor · 04-17-2009, 07:43 PM

Howard said what I wanted to...but didn't know how to word it.

Thanks, Howard.

Everyone should really relax, what is most important is the welfare of a friend. Plants can all be replaced, but people and friendships are fragile. We should all be respectful of Richard and the possibility that there is a problem which has side tracked his focus.

I just left a message for Richard (on his cell phone) a few moments ago. I get the feeling that something has happened beyond his control.
I have been to Richard's house last summer. He loaded me up with all kinds of tomatoes, cuttings, and I didn't pay a dime. That's the kind of man he is.
As Salty said, the guy is beyond reproach. No worries.

Thanks Scot, for calling.

Michael, I believe we are all trying to be respectful of Richard but we are very concerned about him, forget about the plants...

Scot, does Richard live alone?

The possibilities are horrible to think of.
I worked with a man whose elderly mother fell in her garage in winter, they found her deceased several days later, she had dragged herself under the car, they think to try and stay warm. I don't think my friend ever forgave himself, blamed himself for not calling to check in on her.

Hopefully everything will be fine and he was suddenly called away or something.

Richard, I will delete your phone numbers from here when you return! (This is not blackmail....it's just watching out for you.) I found it on this site from the address that was on my Google Checkout order.

Chironex · 04-17-2009, 08:36 PM

Richard just called me back. He is well and asks that you check the .pdf for shipping dates. He mentioned that the notes state the week that they would be shipped, not the specific date.
All the plants are fine and all of you will receive them as promised.
He had run into some personal issues that demanded more of his time and has not been able to get on the site since last Sunday.
The good news is that he is alive and well!

Stu, sorry the order has already been placed, paid and received. I am responding for Richard as he had some personal issues to attend to. He will be back soon. Perhaps someone has an extra SR that they will sell to you. If I had more than one, I would... but I lost my main plant over the winter so I just have a new pup growing back right now. Only 3-4 inches tall.
If you don't find another, check back with me in 2 months. These pup like crazy.

Something had to be seriously wrong for Richard not to be here for so long. Just glad he's OK.
