  1. i bought an inexpensive item from ebay, but i was tracking today because its really late and found it has been sitting in INDIANAPOLIS for 11 days. So much for 2 to 5 days shipping. its been 14 total so far
  2. there was a dealership that was in the shrewsbury/red bank nj area that had its 60s original dealership signs up for the longest time. its been a long time since i have been over there, so i dont know if they still do. i thought it was cool, seeing the old time dealership, but had new cars
  3. i got a funny one. i had a package arrive and leave the local hub for 4 days, finally it left to get to my local post office 15 minutes away from the hub, and it only took 4 days to go those 15 minutes
  4. does the hood sit right or is it messed up
  5. does this kit have the same issues with the hood not sitting flush. i dont know why moebius kits all have issues with the hoods not fitting
  6. i find that the estimated delivery date for my packages are always and i stress always at lease 1 day later than the promised date. the local distribution place is 20 minutes from my house, but will stay there at a minimum of 24 hours from the time it arrives to the time it leaves the building. if it gets there at midnight, it wont ship until at least the next midnight.
  7. i will never forget when i first moved out on my own in 1999. my family had a really, really old microwave, from when they first came out, so when i moved out, i bought my own microwave. i didnt realize how much more powerful the new ones were vs the ones my family had. the first time i cooked popcorn i put it on for 5 minutes, which was what my families microwave would take, after a few minutes, i smelled it burning and saw it was on fire in the microwave. i put the next one in and did like 2 minutes and they were completely burned. then i noticed there was a button labeled popcorn. i hit it and it was like 45 seconds or something like that.
  8. Kind of a funny story. My wife got me 3x 10 dollar gift cards to McDonald's as a gift. Today I decided to use it, so I got food and it came out to 14 dollars, so I gave the lady two of the gift cards and after swiping both she said the cards are both empty and tried to take them. I said wat. One of them should hav like ,6 dollars more, so she looked at me and then gave them to me me. On the receipt it even showed a balance. I'm pretty sure she was trying to steal it. She looked at the receipt before saying it and it was very clear there was balance on the cards
  9. Here is Gracie just chilling with her momma
  10. Arnold is now losing his mind because we woke him up
  11. Arnold is flexing his muscles over the fish tank
  12. Tickie is sleeping with his face/nose against the foam on my slot car track table. I have never seen that before. He slept like that for a long while. Here is our baby Gracie laying with my cars on the track
  13. Kelce's shoving the coach and losing his mind on him was unreal. any other player in any other game would have been benched. he should have benched him at least for 1 period to show him its not ok
  14. Tickles is ready to go driving
  15. well my day got worse. went to kohls today to return stuff to amazon, and someone hit my truck when it was parked and didnt leave a not or anything. i contacted insurance company and i have to pay my deductible. i guess next time i will just keep the stuff from amazon, now im out 500 dollars
  16. mailman once again tossed a package and once again, i got a broken item. this time a 150 dollar slot car. im really mad because its not fixable, the chassis is broken, the body pieces are broken off. im saving the ring video of the mailman tossing it and seeing if they will refund me
  17. we got the ring camera. it is supposed to have a long battery life, but what they dont tell you is that in reality it only lasts about a month if you keep the motion detectors on and get any decent amount of foot traffic, say 10 people walking by per day. last night at 4:45 am the ring starts ringing my phone because the battery is low again. apparently there is not a way to turn off this notification either. of course, with it waking me up like that, i had a hard time falling asleep again. i have since turned on bedtime mode on my phone, which is supposed to suppress all messages, but lets see if it works for the ring
  18. My sisters house had terrible heating and they installed a wood burning stove. In that room it would be so hot and the rest was freezing
  19. Apparently, USPS realized that the best route from michigan to nj is through hawaii. Arrived at USPS Regional Facility HONOLULU HI DISTRIBUTION CENTER January 15, 2024, 4:26 pm Arrived at USPS Regional Origin Facility DETROIT MI NETWORK DISTRIBUTION CENTER January 12, 2024, 10:15 pm
  20. I am on week 5 of my covid cough and feeling really tired and weak. i went to the doctor and they told me i have pneumonia and probably bronchitis and that my lungs are still very enflamed from covid. that is not the worst part of this. since i work from home, i rarely leave my house normally. i get my groceries delivered and i have amazon prime, so i rarely need to go out. anyway, right before i caught covid, i went to 3 places. it was my wedding anniversary and my wife wanted to do these 3 things. one was to go to a specialty food store, one was to get a nice meal for our anniversary and one was to get our new kittens pictured with a santa that the shelter was putting on. i found out that the person running the picture with santa for the cats and dogs had covid with symptoms, knew they had covid, but kept the event on anyway because she didnt want to disappoint the other people at the shelter group. she never told anyone in the shelter group that she had covid until after. we only found out because my sister in law is friends with the person that started the shelter and that lady told her. my sister in law questioned why she would go to the event, knowing she had covid. then told her that my wife and i got really sick from it. her response. it happens. what is worse, the lady with the covid was there taking the pictures, so she was the person that interacted with everyone because she needed to get everyone's email addresses to send the pictures to them. nearly everyone has a cell phone with a camera. it is not like this lady needed to be there. anyone else could have done it. shoot, if i had my choice, i would have volunteered to do the pictures over getting covid. also, there is no end in sight either. the cough is not getting any better and neither is the weakness. i hope there is a special place in the afterlife this lady
