Shout out to HHV... I remember the days of standard pricing all year round, so when there's a sale I absolutely have to jump on it. The day I run out of "purple caps" is the day my wife starts smoking again, so we can't have that....
Got a refurbished reo grand sitting here waiting for some serendipity for myself.
And the tube stores the honey do.

Thank you for still rocking out the flavor.

I love this post! I will pass on your message to Heather. It means a lot to her that she's still making people happy, but especially keeping people off of cigs. Thank you!

I just put my order in. How long do you want me to wait to PM you my order number? It's not that I don't trust you guys to fulfill it, but my mailman is an idiot and I have to chase stuff down sometimes.

That is one of two reasons why I have a PO Box in the next county over, unreliable postal workers. The second reason is that we live a fer piece from civilization and thefts from mail boxes is not unusual. It became critical when the insurance company gave me the choice of switching to their mail order or go to the pharmacy and pay darn near full freight.

Believe me I have considered it. My biggest problem here is I live at xx west ------- st and a block away is xx east ------- st. Everybody gets it messed up. Mail, fedex, pizza...I've had contractors just climb up on my roof and argue with me when I say they have the wrong house. There was Thai food delivery lady who got mad at me because it was raining and she didn't want to take it down the street to whoever ordered it. One time a social worker showed up and stuck her foot in my door to try to get in-this was somewhat comical though because it was lunchtime on a school day, my kids were watching tv while eating their lunch-I homeschool, perfectly legal, have all my paperwork from the county school board and everything, she just thought I was committing the crime of the century and she wasn't even supposed to be at my house! So, yeah, I babysit tracking numbers pretty faithfully.

The town my MIL lives in has something similar. A river splits the town in two. The two roads on either side of the river are called First Street and First Avenue. Then Second Street and Second Avenue as you move away from the river. Goes some 20 streets/avenues like that in both directions. Naturally the mail and and everything else gets screwed up. I'd like to know who came up with that hair brained idea. And worse, why haven't they changed it? The town is 150 years old.

FedEx and UPS, if the Garmin maps aren't updated then lord only knows who is getting an Amazon shipment.
A thumbs up to the home schooling idea!

Main Street is what divides us. But we also have a South St, and a West St to throw into the mix too. I am in our town's historic village district, I don't think there was a whole lot of thought behind things like this when they planned the town. Oh well. Makes things interesting I guess...

Now we know why USPS employees go postal.

You can PM me your order number anytime. It's normally a day or two for orders to be shipped because every bottle ordered is hand-mixed. They don't make big batches and bottle them ahead of time.

Since it's during a sale and over a holiday weekend, there will be a lot of orders to fill. You should have a shipping notice by Thursday or Friday. If you don't get a shipping notice, let me know and I will look it up for you.

How awesome that you homeschool! I homeschooled my oldest two for two years. That was in the late 90's and even then the "officials" made me feel like a criminal. I would have loved to continue during their entire schooling and for my youngest two. Circumstances made that impossible. I can tell you that within two weeks of sending them to public school they were different children. And not in a good way.

Stay strong! It's a true blessing you are giving them.

Thanks. I will give it until the end of the week then, I imagine they will be quite busy mixing with the increased volume from the sale.

Thanks! I've been lucky so far, I've only had to fight a truancy notice once-the second (or maybe third) year I was doing it I did my notifications, got my compulsory attendance excuse like normal, and then got summoned to juvenile court for truancy-the lady at the county spelled my last name wrong...ugh. I am praying all continues to go well, I'm a little unnerved because our community has turned into a war zone over a school levy that we just voted down a couple weeks ago, I'm hoping they don't take it out on me and the other homeschoolers in our district.

I'm glad I've been able to do it for them, but I am getting tired. I homeschooled my oldest (23) from 3rd grade through hs graduation. He started out at a small Christian school, but when my other son was born I was faced with the decision to go back to work so I could afford the tuition, or stay at home and teach them myself (I just couldn't do the government school, no offense to any of you who do). Youngest is now 16, just recently completed his sophomore year, so 2 more to go!

Really great and amazing! I started for the same reason as you. I was unable to afford the tuition at the small Christian school. I couldn’t go back to work because I also had a toddler and infant. It is a tiring task. I only did elementary school. I’m sure higher grades are even harder. The paperwork was ridiculous. But what you faced with truancy is insane! Education was a harsh issue years ago and it really is getting worse. So many things are.

@DavidOH , I hear Ohio is getting tornadoes tonight. Please let us know if you are okay. There are 4-5 going off right about now.
8 tornado warnings going off in Ohio right now. The Dayton area has been hit. I am not sure where David lives exactly. Dayton hit twice by tornadoes 30 minutes apart.

Don't know where David is. I'm ok. Son's fiancee saw it as it skirted by her apt but she's ok. Just heard from him, she's without power so she's getting food and stuff she wants to save and they will head back to his apt. He said there are big trees and power poles/lines down everywhere. He's supposed to het with me again when they are both in and safe for the night.

Local news is starting to show pics and video, looks pretty bad.

Hubby is driving his route. Just heard from him, he is ok for now but the route he has tonight is further east, so he is not yet in the clear.

I hope you are all okay, especially your husband. I didn’t know you were in Ohio. That had to be terrifying. My prayers are with you and everyone affected.

He had to take his route a couple stops out of order tonight, so this made it so he wasn't where one of them hit. Last I heard from him about an hour and a half ago he was trying to get there, but the highway is a parking lot, couple of semis got twisted up on it, and he doesn't know when he will make it home.

Tornadoes are not anything new here, but these were much larger than what we usually see here, and it hit some more heavily populated areas.
