Max's family thread (no, it's not a contest)

[wvducklady]

On his adoption application, his distinguishing features said "obese black Lab male with white patch on chest and piggy eyes". He was the love of Max's life.

Awwww! Im so glad they found each other.

Have the eGrip from Foggy that's going to Seth...then the green Disrupter battery, the topbox mini kit, the taifun clone, STM, nano tank and a small tool box loaded with pre-wound coils, rayon, screwdrivers, scissors, tweezers, extra box of .5 OCC coils, and orings. There's some extra metal drip tips that ive removed from every tank I get, some silicone drop tips, a few tank bands and 6 bottles of juice. After it gets there, we're gonna Skype and do a quick lesson on rebuilding the Kanger coils and RBAs and the taifun RTA.

Wow! That is an awesome goody bag!

I am curious...I have 2 orders that were at least 15 minutes apart yet they both have the same tracking number...I have ordered a lot of stuff from "same ebay seller on the same day" and have never had this happen. They always have different tracking numbers for each order.

I wonder if we all have the same tracking number ?

Mine end in 654CN

Mine was 797CN....I bet you'll get yours. I'll never see mine, and I just want my money back now.

That is a great story! He must have been one big boy! I bet he was beautiful! Labs are so cute too! The polaroid camera is classic and funny! They were so awesome!

He was grossly obese...like 123 lbs obese....to get him to exercise, we had Maxwell run around the backyard with a Pupperoni...he would trot along behind him trying to catch it.

 

[redrebel821]

Wow! That is an awesome goody bag!

They have rent and student loans to contend with....I send a goody box every so often. This one is just bigger...and I forgot the Justfog tank I was sent to PIF...lol

You wanna talk corruption, you should look at NY state and NYC politics. In the past 10 years, there's been about 10 NY politicians that's been convicted in federal court for different crimes related to their position. Most recently, the most powerful Democrat and Republic in the state legislature was convicted within weeks of each other. And now the federal prosecutor has set his sights on the mayor of NY. He is so anti-cop that the guy he appointed to run the Civilian Complaint Board (the agency that investigates complaints against the police) is an attorney whose law firm represents clients suing the police. The feds are currently looking into the mayor's PAC, because it looks like he was using it to circumvent political donation limits. Several people that does business with the city, and has gotten favorable treatment from the mayor, has donated upwards of $500,000 to his PAC. The problem is the mayor controls the PAC and decides where the money is spent. And as a PAC, they don't need to disclose who they got their contributions from and how much.

And then you have the Speaker of the Assembly (the Democrat), who was convicted last year for pay-for-play. As the speaker, he awarded research grants for mesothelioma to a doctor at Columbia. In return, that doctor referred patients to a law firm that specialized in mesothelioma lawsuits. That law firm in return has paid over $5 million in referral fees to the speaker. And the speaker also controlled the court appointments, so that law firm got preferential treatment in court and had all their lawsuits scheduled first. Upon conviction he lost his seat, but he still gets to collect his pension for being a legislator. The feds now wants him sentenced to 15 years in prison (he's in his 70's), but he is claiming that he has prostate cancer so he wants leniency from the court and just be sentenced to probation. The feds also wants to seize his "profits" from his crimes and are going after him for over $5 million, but he is disputing the amount of his profits. They held the special election this past Tuesday for his replacement, and the person who won was hand-picked by him to replace him.

The President of the Assembly (the Republican), was convicted for getting his son a highly-paid no show job and a highly-paid no show consulting gig at two companies who he "helped". His son was caught on a wiretap complaining about his supervisor at the job who questioned why he was an employee there since he never showed up for work. He was screaming at that guy's boss that his supervisor should be fired, or else his dad will take care of it.

There has been over 10 highly ranked police officials that have been demoted and put on modified duty for doing "favors" for two individuals who are heavy donors to the mayor and his PAC in return for trips and gifts such as diamonds.

And the feds are also investigating the sale of a city-owned nursing home. They sold the home for $28 million under the "verbal" promise that the new owners would maintain it as a nursing home. The zoning for the building also had restrictions that required it to be used as a nursing home. A lobbyist for the new owners, a big donor to the mayor and his PAC, got the city to remove the restriction in exchange for $16 million. Days later, the new owners flipped the building to a condo developer for $116 million, a $72 million profit. And evidence suggests that they had actually made the deal to sell the building before they got the restriction lifted, provided that they could get the restriction lifted.

They're just following the old NY traditions of Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed.

That is just sick isnt it! Sometimes I wonder how can there truly be people that horrible? That stuff right there makes me so mad when we have so many animals, organizations, States and people that could be helped with the money they steal. Then everyone wonders why the world is going to crap....there are times when I think maybe we should "get rid" of people like that...

I think it's crazy as they are still selling the item - regardless of the price, they are obligated to send you what you ordered...it's their fault it's broken.
If they didn't have more I could understand...but NOT with them still selling them - they have more !

Right???? That's what I told Paypal...they have more, they admitted they made a mistake in the listing, and they refuse to honor my purchase even though they are still (I hope) honoring all of everyone else's. Effing scammers!!!

Kidlets replacement mod should be here tomorrow, and the nano tanks are scheduled to arrive Monday. PayPal updated my dispute about the eVics....yesterday, it was "being reviewed", today they have requested more info from them. When I first opened the claim, they were asked to respond and gave the taking number...lol...I responded by copying their comment about it being crushed and thrown away. Now I guess they wanna find out about that. Sigh. Has anyone else's tracking updated yet?

No change in mine. Tho I did get feedback from the seller. Still nada on 17track also

You are right about some idiots who get a little bit of power...its never good. We actually do have some good ones though Thankfully I have never heard anything like that idiot you guys dealt with near me. It was probably one of those horrible towns that nobody likes to go to.... Several years ago on other side of the state a shelter was shut down and people were arrested for animal abuse. I cannot remember exactly where, but so many people were furious. I think I may have been in highschool when it happened.
The county I grew up in, when I was little there was this lady who started a shelter for dogs. She set it up on her property (she had quite a bit of land) and she would not kill the dogs if no homes were found. She was really good at finding them new homes, traveled to different states and people from different states came to her to adopt the dogs. She did some wonderful things The 2 shelters in the 2 different counties outside of mine they are good too. They have rehomed so many dogs and cats (one is just for dogs and the other does dogs and cats), and they treat the animals respectfully and proper.

That reminds me of The Cat House on The Kings. A lady bought a house with a good bit of land in California. Ended up turning it into a shelter for cats.
