  1. The babies got a picture with Santa
  2. Our babies are completely bonded. They are brother and sister, and here they are laying together. The girl is laying her head on the boys belly The boy will cry out for the girl when she is not in the same room and the girl comes running to him I have never had bonded cats before
  3. many years ago, i had fedex or ups, i dont remember which, leave every package that was for our apartment complex left at our door. like 15 boxes. i put them in my pickup and brought them to each apartment. if it happened today, i would have just called them and said come get this mess. i dont have the same abilities to carry stuff like i used to. my left elbow has so much pain that even lifting my 2 pound laptop causes severe pain.
  4. i am going to give a little background on why im hesitant. i had something not deliver even though it said out for delivery after 5pm, it said that there was an issue or whatever and it would be delivered the next day. it was an item that was close to 90 dollars, and that is a lot of money for me. the next day, i checked it and it didnt say out for delivery, so i assumed it was coming. the mailman usually comes around noon or 1 or so, but i saw him go by and deliver my mail, but no package. then i checked the tracking again, and it said delivered at 8am to my po box. however, i dont have a po box. I called the local post office and explained what i was seeing. he called the mailman, and he said he was doing his mail, but would deliver the package after. the next day, the mailman said to me that he had a doctors appointment and had to have a half day and that was why my package wasnt delivered, i tried to explain i wasnt complaining it wasnt delivered, i was worried since it was marked as delivered to a po box, which i dont have. ever since then, i been noticing that im hearing boxes being dropped. maybe he always did this, i dont know. i only recently got the ring to see what i saw, so maybe he has been a jerk the whole time with boxes, but i dont want to complain after calling previously and it being worse than it is. honestly, if the thing didnt break, i wouldnt have cared if he tossed it. i know it wasnt the first time it was tossed during the delivery, so it could have broken anywhere in the line of tosses. i really have difficulties going out to get stuff and rely on deliveries for 90% of the things in my life. i do not need to have things stop showing up or getting "lost"
  5. I honestly dont want to go that route. im sure the guy knows that we have the ring and doesnt care. if we call and complain, he might just smash stuff away from the camera before gently placing it down on my porch, and then claim it was like it when he got it. its similar to how i will never complain about my food at a restaurant, poorly tasting food is much better than spit filled food obviously if something breaks and is not fixable, i might ask the postmaster to cover it. this on the other hand, it was 25 to 30 minutes of getting it apart and putting it back together
  6. We got the ring camera and boy is it shocking how stuff is delivered. For example, i got a model train car delivered today, marked as extremely fragile, I watched the video of the mailman throwing in stride at my door from the sidewalk. Didn't even slow down. The weight in the train popped out so I had to take it apart and tape it down again Yesterday he was a little more careful because my neighbor was there, he actually stopped but dropped them waste high
  7. i tried all sorts of things on glass before. nothing looked perfect. i guess it depends on how much you can live with hobby lobby sells clear plastic sheets of styrene
  8. this is what i was working on. not really model related, but i used the same techniques i use on modeling. its not done yet, but im pretty happy with it so far. it was originally an r2d2, with silver and blue head and the panels were blue yellow is my favorite color
  9. i am painting a custom toy that was silver and blue and i wanted it white. i tried tamiya white primer, but you could still see the blue under it and the silver made the white look gray. i had bought the tamiya base while a while back and figured, let me give that a try. wow. its completely white. you cant see any of the old color at all. it was pretty expensive, but it did exactly what i needed it to do
  10. our boy is still very angry that we got the kittens. hissing at them and even swatting at under the door. unfortunately for me, i have been sleeping on the couch with him so he knows that he is really important, but tonight i tried to go back to the bedroom and he cried at the door. tomorrow im going back. i cant keep sleeping on the couch
  11. My wife and I got two kittens last night, brother and sister from a local rescue. Our cat died about a month ago and our other cat seemed very lonely Our existing cat does not yet love the kittens but my wife and I are introducing them very slowly for just a short time until our boy stops hissing Anyways here are the two babies Arnold and Gracie
  12. i got one going on now, something arrived at my local post office, 20 minutes later it says business closed, delivery next business day....except im not a business, and i doubt they got it pulled from a truck, loaded into one for delivery, and failed at my apartment, which is apparently now a business on ups, they sent something from Indianapolis all the way to washington state, then back to nj. apparently thats the fastest route. its now day 10 now and still not delivered
  13. our cat kammy died last week from a mouth cancer. Originally the vet said it was an issue with her teeth and we had a scheduled surgery for her, but a few days before the day she stopped eating. we took her to a different vet, who looked at her and said that its a mouth cancer, and will not survive and there is nothing they can do. she was about 16 years old. about 14 years ago, my wife originally fostered her for a local shelter, but she was at the end of her "allowed time", so we officially adopted her so she wouldn't get put down, and she had many happy years with us. it came as a big surprise to us, and our other cat seems very depressed now, and is meowing a lot and wanting a lot of extra attention. this is kammy from just before she got sick, hugging the ugly baby yoda doll
  14. I had a package once from somewhere, ship to the state I live in, only to end up in Hawaii the next day,bthe day it was supposed to be delivered. I called and they said it will still be delivered, they have until whatever time to deliver it bim like it's in Hawaii right now. It will be on time 2 or 3 days later it eventually arrived. The customer service was amazing that day
  15. i hope you named them. i think one should be arnold and the other should be darcy
  16. i used to love pee wee's playhouse when i was a kid. it all got cancelled for the arrest but i was too young to really understand. i loved his movies as a kid too. i will say as an adult now, it doesnt have the same appeal
  17. i was able to pick up the box. the final person i spoke to i guess did what they said they would do, but man this was painful. the item was 400 dollars, which is a really lot of money for me, and i didnt trust they would deliver it, especially since the driver never even showed up to mark it as not available. the guy at the fedex office was cool. it was a big, and heavy box and he wheeled it out to my truck for me.
  18. i am so annoyed right now. i had a package due for delivery today with fedex. i kept the door open all day so i could hear them if they came, and i sit facing the window where i could see them pull up. i get an email that says my package could not be delivered because the resident was not home. however, i have been home all day by the door. so i call fedex like 5 minutes after getting this email, and ask if they can swing back by because i am home. the person i spoke to just said its now schedule to be delivered tomorrow. i said, please let me speak to a supervisor to see what we can do with this. he refused. he said he could make notes that say to knock on the door or ring the door bell, and i was, are you serious. they should already be doing that. so i asked again, and again he said no. i hung up, called right back and got someone that would transfer me to a USA supervisor. i spoke with him and he said that he spoke to the local office to see if they can come by again and they would call me back. nobody called me back after 3 hours. i decided i should call again because if they arent going to redeliver it, then i will just pick it up. i call, and get a person that just kept saying we have 7 days to deliver this. i kept saying i was working with someone already on this. they refused to help, so i asked to speak to a supervisor. she refused. kept saying that they had 7 days. i said, please connect me to a supervisor because i would like to make a complaint. she said about what. i said about you, you refuse to help me. she said i can document your complaint. i asked several more times, she just said no. i hung up and called back and just said i need to make a complaint, and would like to speak with a supervisor. i got the supervisor right away, and explained what is going on, that i just want to pick up the package at this point because they didnt call back and i would also like, if it is possible to listen to the prior call i had because it was by far the worst customer service i already had. so after work i will go to fedex and see if they have my package or if i am just going to be disappointed again
