Hi all! I’m on the search for some hardwood logs for mushroom growing. I’m looking for logs that are 3-4 feet long, freshly fallen or cut, and 4-6 inches in diameter. I need 4-5 beech, maple or oak logs, and 4-5 aspen or elder logs.
If anyone knows of an arborist or homeowner willing to part with a few healthy logs of these varieties, please lmk!!
My most recent ex (36) initiated the end of our relationship abruptly by text. When I accepted the breakup calmly and did not attempt to continue the relationship, his response shifted. In the weeks that followed, he continued contacting me with a mix of messages that alternated between asking to reconcile, expressing distress (thoughts of self-harm), angry songs, and making accusations. I maintained a consistent boundary that I would not re-enter the relationship and needed space, but his communication continued despite that.
After the breakup, I arranged for the return of his belongings in a clear, no-contact way by placing them at the end of my driveway, which I communicated in advance. He chose to bring a sheriff to retrieve the items, despite the exchange being straightforward and without issue (I was not present). I followed up promptly when he said something was missing and returned additional items. Despite this, he continued to message me, including statements with a hostile tone and vague references to legal action about a mattress? (I’ve not stored one for him), and also contacted people in my community (including an ex of mine) with claims about me that were not accurate.
Following the breakup, he has increased his presence in a community space I have attended regularly for many years by taking on work shifts that overlap with my longstanding schedule there. He also moved into a residence next to one of my closest friends, in close proximity to their home, and contacted them directly with messages that included both friendly outreach and subsequent legal threats. These actions contributed to a sense of escalation and discomfort within my existing community connections.
My therapist says this comes across as untreated BPD and to fully ignore all messages and threats. Any thoughts? I don’t want him to escalate.
