On Friday I did a difficult thing. I have owned a beading group for
the past 10 years. I started it with 5 members and built slowly from
there. Two members left the group to start their own group. This was
nothing new. It has happened more times than I remember. And I wasn't
surprised.. One had written me unpleasant letters in hopes that I would
remove her from the group. But I refused to do so. I knew she could
use that against me. Make me out to be the bad guy. I knew what was
happening--did not know how she was getting the discounts she did. It
just didn't compute. I can't say anymore--except that there are times
when things aren't as they appear to be. This is definitely one of those times.
I turned ownership of the board over to 3 friends and moderators, Sue B,
Carolyn G, and Anna T. When I clear myself with Yahoo, I will come
back. I was accused of making inappropriate remarks on the forum.
And of running a group that was a business. However, businesses make
money. I was constantly going in the hole. This last person that left was
sent 70.00 to supposedly cover shipping charges over a buy someone
had started and she had finished. But I was told that all funds had been
received. I was so concerned about her finances. Should have focused
more on my own.
So now, I am missing my group. But I's must be dotted and T's must be
crossed. So that is the partial ending. The rest I truly cannot disclose.
All for now
