That is so true Tiggerrets....but sometimes you have to make exceptions for LOVE.................

AWWW!!!

True :)


This v-day i dont have specific plans with the misses. I am throwing an all day v-day park party called "Fall in love with me". It is the 5th anniversary of our first v-day park party of the same name.
I am hosting it with my ex-biz partner and ex-girlfriend. We used to be a powerful team back in the day, but personal and extreme differences led to us all breaking up. While we are still friendly, we are barely friends. This is an awesome re-boot of our promotional relationships and really an altruistic event to put on for tucson.
The show is completely free to attend, and family friendly.

Well, I'm about to head to the post office to file another complaint. Once again, an Express Mail package is late--and, of course, the tracking information provides no information (it hasn't been scanned since Monday night). Fortunately, it is slightly less urgent than when this happened a month ago. I hate them. . .

Hope everyone is having a nice day.

#3 I hosted a contest back in mid-August, re-gifting 180ml of 240ml e-liquid I won in a contest. One of the packages sent September 3rd was just returned to me today, the addresses and postage are correct but it was labelled "Return to Sender/Unable to Forward". 2 packages from China totaling ~$90 ordered late December are MIA, tracking numbers don't work. Shipping woes.:confused:

5- I hear you on the china shipments, as far as know if it went China or Hong Kong post, they are still backlogged on inspections. I am using new methods when getting R/C stuff from over there.

Following the thread on the place "we all love to hate", almost everyone is getting their shipments, even those sent after mine. BTW, mine were sent well before CNY. Some of it is non-vape related and I kinda need it, "yesterday". I'll keep my whining on this issue in that thread in the future, apologies.

What are they and what do they do . . .:unsure:




SO - DITTO ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Hmm well the easy way to explain it, breaks down the page and turns off all pictures, scans the page for certain key words and phrases and sends me a message on my primary machine to check those links.
It also is using what is called a crawler program, google is one that almost every one knows, but this one is a little more directed at going 3 links deep, so it is scanning about 2 million pages in a day.
Not the most effective method, but since I am doing the responses myself no harm or foul.
Mind you I have very good internet, and my ISP and I have an agreement on what I can and can not do, I have to notify them before I do any penetration testing so it does not get a red flag because the ISP can sometimes see the easier stuff I start off working with in that job role.
Then I start with more tech stuff, and by now your eyeballs are most likely starting to roll to the back of your head lol.

WhoWouldaThunkIt!?
Just found out i can claim my misses as a dependant.
evidently, if you are not married, live together, and one of you makes under $3,800, the other can claim them!

my return was going to be 1/3 less this year compared to last (they reduced my EIC) so this will get about half of that loss back!!!
Ill most likely give 90% of the return to the misses. I hate that she has no monies, and she doesnt like to ask. Sometimes i have to sneak money into her wallet...
She should be at home right now putting in some online applications. i tried to get her to commit to at least two a day, an easy feat IMO, but shes slacking. Once she applies herself she will find something quickly. she's just gotta break free of the rut..


when not in use, do you remove the battery from your mechs?
i usually bring both a vamo and a nem to work each day, leaving one in the car. Should i remove the battery from the nem when not in use? i dont have any misfires with the locking ring on, just curious if its worth taking precaution.

a) Congratulations! And good luck with the rest of that. :)
b) answered in the other thread:
(click on blue arrow above ^^^)



c) The package wasn't opened, I hope it was a address mistake made by the recipient. I had cut and paste it and then printed it out, just rechecked today and everything is correct AFAIK. I never heard anything about it, if kind of thing happens to you (undelivered contest prize)... say something! :ohmy:
