Exactly. He should have told you at the outset he wanted to write two. You would have said sorry, every author writes one, that's the structure of the book. Then he should have said, "Oh damn, I didn't realize that. Oh well, I'll take snowdrops then." If he really wanted crocuses he could try to get the other guy to trade.

That is only the tip of the iceberg. R. is also irked that when he writes about a plant, people ask him "Where do you get this?" Well, of course they do! I told him he should clearly state in his original post or article where the plant can be sourced and if it is very rare and not available, he should say that too. Which begs the question, why is he writing about an unobtainable plant? To show off, is the answer. :P
But, I'm being harsh. R. had a difficult childhood, the only son of an Army vet who was shot in the head in the Korean War. His mother, also a military child, tried to hide her husband's difficulties from him and his sister and was very much a helicopter parent. R. is in therapy constantly but IMO has never overcome the insecurities and issues of his childhood. I'll try to be more tolerant.

Don't want to hijack friend Chuck's blog much longer, but wanted to report that R. called me this afternoon and we had a totally delightful conversation about witch hazels. Go figure!

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
How is everyone doing this weekend?
Work has been pretty busy lately, but I've stayed on top of everything, and I'm able to relax this weekend.
Still a lot of snow around, it's been too cold for anything to melt.
I have no major plans for this weekend, I plan to just take it easy. I do need to get to grocery store. I've been invited to a Superbowl party next weekend, and have been asked to make some stromboli for the party, so I want to get the stuff I need now, before it's sold out next weekend.
I also need to increase the pressure in my tires, the cold has caused it to drop in all 4 tires. I'll top off the tank while I'm doing that. Finally, I'll hit CVS to pick up a prescription, and other items I need, using the gift cards I got at Christmas.
