You should have known I was going to leave you a message before you leave.

You have been an excellent mentor to me and an even better friend. I can't thank you enough for all of your help, your encouragement, and even your occasional ranting. You will be truly missed.

I hope you accomplish what you have set out to do, and have a great time doing it. Best of luck to you!

Sorry about this being a little mushy.

I already follow you on instagram. There need to apologies or worry about people understanding when it come to better yourself. If they are truly your friend they will be happy for you as I am.

I have 10+ VFT seeds from either my Maroon Monster or my Low Giant. The winner will choose which pod parent they want. These are the only two fly traps I let flower these year, and they were open pollinated.

I will use a random number generator to select the winner on Sunday Sept 3rd at 8am eastern standard time. I will cover the shipping.

Rules:
US resident's only
You must have 25 thank you's
Standard list form

Best of luck to everyone!

Thank you KK, fishman, and Matt for the kind words.

I'm still trying to figure out how you balance it all, Matt. Lol

Shoot me a message on there I'm not sure if I follow you. I'm a little slow on the technology side of thingsImage.

You are absolutely correct sir.

I'm trying anyways. I get distracted pretty easily, so time management has never really been a strong suit.

You have to do what is best for you and that is understandable. I don't know you that well, but you have helped me a lot just from reading your replies on other members posts. I wish you the best of luck and you will obviously be missed.

Thank you very much for the kind words, and good thoughts. It should help make the transition a little easier for me. It's become second nature to scroll on hereImage

I don't see this as mushy at all. It's heartfelt, and from a supportive and good friend makes it that much better.Image So thank you for the kind words, although I don't feel as though I am a "mentor" to anyone. I only try to be helpful by sharing my experiences.

Boarderlib, will be such a bitter goodbye, as I am planing on leaving this forum one day or another. It was fun having everyone here and was a great forums for the 1+ year that I was here, getting plants and information!

just chiming in to say I've enjoyed reading your posts both current and seeing you responding back to tons of older posts in my own research getting into things

best of lucking diving fullspeed into Sarracenia also, it is something I want to start getting into next season it just seems like such an expensive thing to get into, I have my reservations I already know I love them and want like 9080808 of the different crosses I've seen people post online and for sale!

I'll still lurk the instagram when I happen to see a post! a lot of the photos get lost on mine since its more or less a junk catchall add everyone account for the small record label my wife and I run - I just use it for personal stuff too to lurk other things I enjoy like....your plants!

Thank you for the kind words, both of you!

As my last official post here at FTC, I want to thank everyone once more, for your time, support, and the laughs. Best of luck to everyone, may your plants all flourish, and may you be blessed with pest free growing!

And the trap slams shut on my time here. Image Image
