i bought a dried rose today at the little shop on the corner and the woman behind the counter looked at me for a long moment and said a young man used to come in on Saturdays and buy one, always on Saturdays, always one, and he would hold it like it was made of glass!!!! she said he moved away maybe two years ago and she still keeps the brown paper ready on Saturdays just in case!!! has anyone else heard this, is this a real sighting or am i being fed a story to make me buy more dried flowers??? does anyone know WHEN he moved and WHERE to

*always on Saturdays* Rhonda at the pharmacy said the same thing about the orange cough syrup - Saturdays, always Saturdays. That's a detail you don't make up.

Saturdays is a pattern I can work with, ClassOf04. But nobody's asking the real question - which Saturday? Gabriel timeline has him in three cities over the last two years and the "moved away maybe two years ago" could mean 2004, 2005, or August 2006 depending on whose calendar you use. Rhonda at the pharmacy gave a day but no date. Same as every other "sighting" on this board - all day, no year. Just saying.

but WHERE did he move to, the paper is not the point

The paper IS the point, actually. Because "always on Saturdays" doesnt mean anything without a date range. Saturdays from when to when? If the shopkeeper says "maybe two years ago" that could be October 2004 OR she could mean summer 2005 OR she could mean "two years ago but i dont really remember because the only thing i remember is the brown paper". Nobody in this thread has asked her for a single date. Not one.

ClassOf04 said Rhonda at the pharmacy said Saturdays too. That's two separate businesses saying Saturdays. That's a real pattern worth investigating IF someone gets a year out of either of them. But nobody will because its easier to say "always Saturdays" and leave it vague than to ask "which October did you first notice" and get an answer that might not fit the timeline

SnowMaiden, if you go back to that shop, ask her what year the first Saturday was. Ask her if he came in winter. Ask her if the paper changed color. Ask questions that have answers instead of questions that only have prayers.

ok i will ask her about the year but she was kind to me the rose is on my windowsill now

SnowMaiden - did she say what COLOR the paper was?
