Oct 31, 2011: Stones with Faces - Page 4

I wouldn't do the newspaper thing. If this is to do with some personal psychotherapy, it would be very embarrassing to have it all come out publicly.

In fact, this might be why the previous own freaks out when she sees you. "She must have found them. Has she found them? How many has she found? Dear God, does she know?"

Sorry, Sundae.

Can you get one of the neighbors that the previous owner isn't scared of to ask?

sandypossum · 11-07-2011, 09:07 PM

Yes yes yes, people! I promise I will keep on trying!

Have we spread into a general opinions on rocks in Australia now? Or am I missing a connection?

Will see the ex-owner tonight at a meeting and will try my best to raise the issue with her in a casual sort of way... "Oh hi, would you like a biscuit with that cuppa, and what's with all the creepy stones with faces?" something like that.

Stay tuned.

Think of it as continental drift. It happens a lot, and not just in Australia.

Spooky movie ... Wickerman ... picnic at hanging rock.

I wouldn't raise the issue this time. Build rapport. If she comes out with it, great, if not, some other time.

ETA: or, sod it, bring a couple of the stones and drop them on the table. "WTF are these?"

Clodfobble · 11-10-2011, 08:38 AM

That's actually a good idea, Zen--bring just one with you, say you found it and wanted to give it back to her in case it was a little memento lost in the yard by one of her children (or nieces/nephews if she has no kids.) That way, she doesn't have to panic thinking you found all of them, if it turns out they're hers and she's embarrassed.

But you're half a day ahead of us, so I'm too late anyway. Eager to hear what she said, sandy!

Sundae · 11-10-2011, 01:53 PM

We know all there is to know about rocks in Australia.

sandypossum · 11-10-2011, 03:52 PM

(drum roll....)

Okay, so I went to the meeting, met said lady, and basically did what ZenGum suggested: pulled one of the stones out of my pocket, and said "o hai, WTF are these?" And she told me.

But my other half says it would just spoil everything if I told you. As Winnie-the-Pooh wisely pointed out: there is a moment just before you eat the honey that is better than actually eating the honey.
