Ha-Ha!....yeah I remember that crazy day in the Vondelpark on mushies, all those years ago, and you man...what fun we had. I hope all is well in your world.
Yeah, I've had some rough times since, but I'm back in the free-world again, and have much to live for, and thru it all, the bad times, the good times all add up to enhance and embrace the rich tapestry of my life...
I just wrote an article on one aspect of my detention, if you've a mind to read it, check it out: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=329505

so do you still want seeds and stuff for the server fund? i was gonna make some seed out of the G-13 you sent me when i was wondering why you call freebies free if they aren't free.

All great mate, also few hectic years but seems like a walk through the park compared to yourself, congrats on marriage, what a diamond girl helping you through the last years, you are a very lucky man G.
If you ever find yourself in Catalunya give us a shout.

Sure....we always need seeds for the server fund, this is a free site for all, but bills have to be paid, and every little bit helps. By all means send in what you can, if you feel the need.
I don't know how long you have been involved with the global canna-community mate, particularly the online variety, but if you happened to go back to 1999, when there was only 3 main actors in the international seed distribution bizz, Heavens Stairway, Marc Emery and yours truly, you would know that I was first to start giving away seeds with every mail order, on condition that they were shared with someone that would grow them.
In 2000 I opened a shop in Amsterdam called 'Seedboutique', and anyone who entered that shop was given a free pack of seeds, whether they bought anything or not. I've been to many canna trade shows and festivals distributing free seeds also, and I reckon that this act of what most perceive as generosity has created legions of growers out there, who have in-turn understood very well what my aims have been, to grow growers, and breed breeders, and many of them have followed suit, to this day.
Not much is actually free in this world, someone has to pay for whatever it is at some point or other, and it was I who put his hand in his pocket and purchased these freebie seeds initially.....kilo's of them. This is not to boast, it's a fact and my way to help fuel the sharp increase in home hobby horticulturalists, many of which you might meet right here on ICMAG. It was a plan that has succeeded beyond all my expectations.
It's what I have always called 'My Cunning Plan'....
Yes amsterdammer, I am such a lucky man to find such a woman that stuck by me, thru thick and thin, she's not deserted me where most others would, and is keen to come to the UK with our son and daughter to be able to reunite our family after all the trouble and strife of recent years...
Once they manage to get here, and are settled in, I may well hitch up my caravan once again and take a tour of Spain with them, to visit many of my friends out that way, and naturally come and visit you too....it's very nice of you to invite me.
You know Gypsy you are not stuck in England. There are other places in the world with liberal visa requirements and low cost of living (if that matters I do not know). There may be a country close to her country or you can change continents. The point is, if England wants to be a C then just pick another country. There are countries out there where you can get 90 day visas and just border hop every three months until you figure out what you have to do in the UK. I know a lot of people do that in Central America and Thailand. I am sure it common a lot of places. I swear if it wasn't for my old mother I would be out of this country in a heart beat.

i was gonna do em for the free gypsy fund...but since you're free now...i'll send em to the server fund. i wasn't even trying to get anything just looking for some clarification on a misconception. and you send me some shits anyway. it would be pretty douchetacular to not give something back.
No problem PBL...I understand what you are saying, well kinda, except for this bit "and you send me some shits anyway.?'...
Thank you for your "Cunning Plan"...we'll puff puff pass one for you this Independence Day....

i'm saying you sent me some things ("shits") anyway, and i appreciate ya for it. #slanguage
Oh OK PBL....I get it.
Good news.
My wife just got her certification from the seminar she had to attend in Manila on marrying a foreigner. Its a requirement for her to be able to leave the country. Now she has to get some immigration exit pass for my 2 kids, and in 3 months we can finally apply for her UK family visa. I'm hoping to get them over here by early November.

Gypsy, you are made of some strong stock!!! You survived something most of us will never know, and have come out stronger and wiser. This community is blessed to have you back. Thank you for all your sacrifices. You are an inspiration to a lot of people. Keep telling your story, because it must be HEARD, and the unjustness of everything you have endured must be known. God bless you and yours.
