Do maturity and honesty grow together?

PMG is the subject of this all.

Story:

She made a post that she needed money, I and several others decided to buy some of her stuff, to help a fellow asylumite out.

I sent her $50 (I believe that was the amount) and was waiting for her painting from June.

Jun 27th we had this conversation:

Session Ident: PMG (cuntor@AsylumNation-34922.dublin7.oh.pub-ip.psi.net)
21:59] PMG: heya that Pic of traffic is a detail, the scanner cut off the left side, which is nothing but black with another circle of light. it's roughly 11 x 9 inches, I'd have to go measure it for you. I sell fer 40. If you want to commission one from me we can do that too, price would depend on size. pay half when commission starts, other half when completed. You approve sketches, so you know what you're getting before I start. I paint woo
22:00] PMG: woops cut of. I can do it on canvas if that's what you perfer.
22:00] Caff^: hmm, i'd have to think about commissioning for one, get more of an idea of what i want
22:00] PMG: that's cool
22:01] Caff^: if you could measure it for me, ill just make sure i have a spot for it. 40 would be fine
22:01] PMG: sure hold on
22:03] PMG: ok it's 11 inches wide and 7 inches high
22:04] Caff^: ok, that'd fit fine actually you have paypal, no?
22:04] PMG: yah
22:04] Caff^: email address?
22:05] PMG: postmodgirl@earthlink.net
22:05] PMG: you pay shipping?
22:05] Caff^: Sure. Shipping will be what? 5?
22:05] PMG: something like that
22:06] Caff^: i'll send 47 in a minute
22:06] PMG: ok werks fer me
22:10] PMG: you're getting a good deal what I'll send besides the painting are care instructions, & a certificate stating when it was painted, on what, and my contact info. If it gets damaged or anything let me know and I'll do the restoration (provided it can be restored) at no cost. Standard deal
22:11] Caff^: so if i somehow spill coffee on my wall.. i get it restored???
22:11] PMG: oh and pleez email me your home addy
22:11] Caff^: it'll be automatically sent to you, one sec
22:12] PMG: coffee wont damage it unless you soak the thing in it
22:12] Caff^: and if i do...
22:12] PMG: damage is like if it becomes scratched or something.
22:12] PMG: I'll tell you how to fix (a damp cloth for cawfee).
22:21] Caff^: ok, you should have the money
22:22] PMG: yes I'll send it out in a few days I need to print up the material that goes with it (which means going to my bro's haus)
22:22] PMG: tanks
22:22] PMG: you're gonna like this
22:22] Caff^: i already do! thanks
22:23] PMG:

22:35] PMG: I cant find it }:
22:35] PMG: I'm gonna call them tomorrow
22:35] Caffeine: how did you ship it?
22:35] PMG: the place where I sent it from should have the info
22:35] PMG: UPS
22:35] Caffeine: what type of shipping though, what was it called?
22:35] PMG: standard
22:36] PMG: ::sigh:: this was supposed to be faster
22:36] PMG: I am being oppressed
22:47] Caffeine: with ground it has a guaranteed date, what was the one on the package?
22:48] PMG: there was no gaunteed date, they said it could arrive as soon as next tuesday (which was last week)
22:48] Caffeine: herm, that date seems to be only for comercial stuff.
22:49] PMG: yah, you pay more for that shit
22:49] PMG: I know you can pay to have it arrive at a specific time too

[23:28] Kayla: i happen to live in quite a nice area
[23:28] Kayla: suburbia r0x0rs you
[23:28] PMG: I wanna go west. not east

So, my question is this:

What is maturity?
Can someone lie and lie and lie and still be mature?
What if that stuff is trivial, that stuff being what the lies are about?

What makes one immature?

Serious questions, serious responses.
Oh yes.

Well?
Okay.

Blah blah blah chat drama blah blah.

Can't we talk about abortion or religion or something less likely to piss everyone off?

I say, someone can lie and still be mature. Truth is not the defining characteristic of adulthood. Parents lie to their children about Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy....any number of things. To say truth is the basis of maturity, all criminals are immature.

I do not agree.

Honesty is not a precursor to maturity.

Oh, it has already been handled.
This is what provoked a small debate on what maturity really is.

Like Wraith said, organized crime is rather mature, yet full of lies.

I think it is hard to be developed without being honest. That maturity is too often tied in with age, and misunderstood, as a word.

okay well...
um, i dunno...

im immature and altho i try and be honest, at times i dont even know what the truth is let alone will i be able to express it to someone else.

i try and be honest, but sometimes, what i feel or think one minute may change suddenly for one reason or another and then...whatever..yada yada i change my mind...im a chick, we are allowed to be finiky and stuff.

okay so anyways, yeah sara took a while to send me my stuff, and i knew about caff having problems getting his painting etc...but like i told him..this is the internet, any money sent out is lost, you may or may not get something in return, even if they are a friend.

it does make me reluctant to help people out this way in the future which is unfortunate.

but im not perfect, so im not gonna start bitching about sara's modus operondi *spelling?*

okay so..
thats it
and i think caff is mature even if he did lie about the mike thing.
i still think he is a wonderful person.

and ditto for sara...
cest la vie

I've heard this "Caff" / "Mike" thing several times now, yet, am completely oblivious to what transpired. Who wants to bring me up to speed?

this is an issue that has already been settled. Caff is just trying to dig up old old shit because he feels resentful or something.

Can't say I blame him.

btw, Caff paid $47.00 for the painting. I priced it low because at the time I was unemployed and desperate.

this is it

I spent aprox 25-30 hrs on it
now, consider that I spent that much time on the damn thing, and consider what he paid for it...
I was making a bout a 1.50 an hour on the thing.

that, coupled with the discovery of Caff's age, made me balk at sending it.
I don't know about you kids, but I don't know too many people who have kept nice things from when they were in their teens, and since my work is kinda like my kids.... I was hesitant in letting him have it.

So I told a lie to not insult him, and sent his money back.

the issue, is resolved.

I can understand him feeling salty, but I don't feel bad about not releasing the work.

and thar ya ar.

Caff pretended to be some famous skater named Mike Budnick, or some such nonsense. I missed out on most of the drama as this was a LONG time ago.

I don't know anything about what is currently going on.

Sara: Bad business practice, regardless of how you felt.

Bad business practice? Perhaps, but she's an artist. She put a lot of work into that painting, and she decided she didn't want to sell it for as little as she had been. So she backed out. Perhaps she should've been more upfront about it, but I don't think she was wrong in not selling it if she didn't want to.

As for the maturity aspect? I don't see how it comes into play at all, in this situation. That's just me, I guess.
