Sure is hard to sleep in on the first morning back to regular time! Back to dark at 4 o'clock PM for awhile.
HERBavore, we were in the process of a slow and ordered retirement, including initial talks with our main competitor, Dave at UD. Two days after returning home we were invaded by lots and lots of police and shut down. They found out we do not grow or sell MJ(as they were told by a liar) and left after 6 hours with no one charged with anything. They did take EVERYTHING Aromazap related, including all our computers and a bunch of financial records. We have no idea when we will get anything back or if we ever will be able to go back in business. We are doing what we can with good legal help to get our affairs back in order but that will take more time. We surely wish this would all go away but it will take time and we cannot change that.
That was my main reason for wanting to post today. A few words on where we are with this event. The only word I have is Limbo. No news other than what I have previously mentioned. This is a strange one for sure. It is strange in so many ways, like us knowing the person who dropped the dime is always watching us on FC. That requires me to be tuned a little tighter than I like but that is the way it is.
Read post #9144 carefully for some real insight into what we have been dealing with for many years. The poster is the same person who filed a "report" on us which resulted in our current situation. My immediate suspicion when I saw the post was that it was that person. Since then we have quickly reviewed many past Emails to our son and me from the same person and have found almost identical lines, not to mention the general scolding theme, complete with a recap of the scolding in a final paragraph.
That post really made me feel good because somebodys chain got pulled enough to make that post(#9144). It is not easy for me to play such games but when I have to, a response like 9144 is great in my book. Once again, an indelible signature, just like on the day of the invasion.
So when all Zap friends here at FC see me go off on some tangent like Bounty Hunters or Integrity or The Covet Commandment, you may now understand more of the story.
I also want to say to a past competitor who expressed concern, etc for some guessing going on here last week, we knew it was not you who posted 9144. I knew you would never do that. I knew only one person would say that. Basically the poster said "buckle up Rick, give Idaho your house for making Aromazap". I also want to say thank you for your good wishes for us and we feel the same for you two. Glad to hear from you, through a friend. Email us if you would like. It's all over now.
Blog, etc on hold. This event needs to go through a chapter or two before we ask for community help. Who knows how the chapters will end? Much thanks to a dear old friend who did send us a big one for legal fee help.
