First of all, I think this should be the perfect forum for posting about a lost item, particularly a fan which one of us might observe on another or maybe found and picked up. Should be. Yobe didn't come here for judgment on her losing of the fan; so why so free with all the condemnation? I'm sure she felt bad enough without all the 'prophets or prophetesses of doom and gloom' putting on their goody two shoes hats and expressing dismay that she would be SO irresponsible over something SO important.

SEcond, there are folks out here that are not emotionally capable of doing anything but 'joking' about anything that is posted. I've gotten bad repped before for being 'too serious' in someone's mind. That is their problem not mine. I'm not going to be 'Pollyanna' if the occasion doesn't demand it. I'm sure I'll find bad rep before the end of the day over this post, in fact.

Bottom line: Yobe didn't come here for judgment on her losing of the fan, she came her hoping someone might see it and it would be returned to her. She looked for friendship and support. Did she get it? Precious little.

Dear Washakie Witch,
On behalf of all the posters here that have a sense of humour, may i say, :taunting:

If you can see, here's a pic of her fan. I'm a relative/friend/coworker of YOBE'S, and I'm just trying to help her out by posting this pic. Some comments were made jokingly, but joking aside, there were some good points made about why it is missing. I believe that bit also. Everything happens for a reason.

Anyhow, YOBE hopes that someone at that pow-wow found it and returns it. In fact, there's already word that someone found a fan. But until she finds out for sure, she clings to that hope that it is. If not, well, she will eventually move on. The experience will be a great lesson.

Lighten up.

Why should someone new, who has basically been 'shamed' by others return to post?

And for me speaking for her, no one can speak for another person.

I also adhere to the philosophy of 'things happen for a reason', but rubbing someone's nose in their mistakes isn't very nice.

You're cracking me up now! :lol2: No one rubbed anyones nose in it. For pizz sakes she said "that is like losing one of your kids" how is that rubbing her nose in it?

And as for your "me" complex, that was not adressed to you. It was to ac miss and digital. The miss was speaking for yobe.
And while we're still talking about this stupid crap -- why is it SHE has a pic of the fan? Things like that make me go humm. :23:

I think that is what burbs was getting at. These things are precious to us. Don't know why that's such a problem to understand. Just cause we jokes doesn't mean there is a lack of compassion. I once read on the board that "you know your ndn if - you always have to explain your jokes" .

I also agree that things come and go in our lives for reasons we could never understand. I know a woman that has gone into the circle hungover after vowing in the circle a year before sobriety and she has lost three feathers and her fan. Sometimes we should not have these things. Sometimes we need a lesson in some area such as humility. And sometimes- shyt happens. I also know I would not want the "mojo" associated with stolen feathers. No way!

Am I the only one that thinks it is strange that "yobe" has not come back on here and said a word but instead the people that have a prob with the jokes are doing the speaking for her? Things to make me go hm.

I'm also of the belief that things happen for a reason. If these feathers were lost through carelessness then perhaps they now reside with someone who can and will take better care of them. If they were taken by someone who had no right to them, then that person shall reap what she sows by stealing something so precious and sacred.

As for what many percieve as harshness from those like dat1 and burbs and I (and other) for expressing what we think, sometimes it's necessary to "tell it like it is" - if you think it a scolding then my belief is it's likely a deserved one.

I can surely empathize with you, it's like loosing a member of the family, and just because it's a fan, does not mean it has any less value!

Greetings everyone...I am in need of your help. I lost my fan at Traders Village Powwow at Grand Prarie, Texas in September of this year. The fan is made with immature golden tail feathers (black tips & speckled underneath). There is no beadwork on the handle but sewn with white leather and several colored threads wrapped on the end of each feather. As with everyone else, my fan is very special to me and has been apart of my spirit from the beginning. IF you know anyone who has found a fan similar to my description, please contact me.

I really hope that you find your fan, and that it comes back to you :( I can surely empathize with you, it's like loosing a member of the family, and just because it's a fan, does not mean it has any less value! Keep you in my thoughts and prayers that it comes back to you, take care and keep well! *hugs*****

Happy Posting! :man:

And you exercise that right by writing ignorant statements, not just with this thread but elsewhere. I'm sure you're glad of the fact that you can freely state your opinions on here. Without these discussions, your little world would not exist. So there...HAPPY POSTING TO YOU AS WELL.

You're most welcome of the negative reputation you received from me. I for one do not hide what I write.

Yobe, I apologize for these interuptions. As with any compassionate person would do, I certainly do hope you find your fan.
