People want the jars back
accidentally put them in the recycle bin or say they broke because they shouldn't have been repurposed
I can't go smashing people's jars in this economy!
@Taleya :blobcatsurprised: oh! how demanding of them!
I feel you are failing to understand the sequence.
I am drowning in lemon curd. I Cannot on gift this lemon curd because the original gifters want the jars back. These jars therefore cannot in good faith be passed to yet another party who may fail to return them. I am now their custodian, the one to guarantee their safe return. They have become chinese obligations.
@Taleya I get that.
so I do not understand the sarcasm you appeared to employ when I reply to "can you give them to someone else" with "They want the jars back", you see my quandary?
Or it may have not been sarcasm I'm kinda working against both text interface and a peak ASD day here
@Taleya I'm not being sarcastic.
