I just got an order of Temco wire, & a small box of rayon from Amazon, & I got tracking #'s. There have been a couple of times I've had split orders that part had tracking & part didn't. I think it's usually "add on" stuff that ships from odd stores that don't provide tracking.
I just keep up wid da porches! Every once in a while, someone here will post a link that I'll check out due to curiosity. Otherwise, since my derriere fits my chair and my tush fills da cush, I stay 'rooted' on da porches...
Ya need to drop in more often!

I mean the amazon fulfillment tracking doesn't exist. just a green bar that says it left and when it arrives. If it ever does. The tracking number they use is theirs alone and I think it's just an algorithm that is based on time.

Fulfilled by amazon or third party. Third party "should" have normal tracking. I meant "amazon logistics" shipping. Has a tracking number but it's their own and you can't use it to track anything. The only one who knows who the carrier is is amazon. And there's dozens of carriers listed on their site. You can only find them by pulling teeth.
LOL!! Thanks for that, Semi... now I'm probably gonna have nightmares about giant spiders tonight!
ARRGGHHHhhh.... and NOW that song is stuck in my head!
So your spider will not only be big, but he will sing too...
So your spider will not only be big, but he will sing too...
Great..... my dream is going to be a musical where a spider eats a T-rex.
Looks like I'll be grabbing a bottle of No-Doze on my way home from work!
Ok, I get it now! And, in thinking about it, I do recall a couple of times that I got that same thing. I had to wait for the notification message from Amazon. Hated that!
((((((((Birdy))))))))) good to see you hun!! How are you doing??
that's lovely 3mg!
As 3mg said........we're here with ya darlin! So wish we could wave a magic wand and make everything better for so many here. Then again, I'm reminded of the story of a butterfly struggling so hard to get out of it's chrysalis. A kind hearted soul was so distraught over it struggling so hard and seemingly getting no where that they cut the opening larger in the chrysalis, so the butterfly had an easier time. A short time later the butterfly was dead. An older man who had seen this told the younger one that as the butterfly struggles to emerge from the cocoon, water is squeezed out of it's wings, so that once out, they quickly dry and it can fly off to begin it's new life. Since this one didn't struggle, the wings were weighed down with fluid and it couldn't move. When we don't struggle in the valleys, we can't soar in the mountains.
we miss you too hun! Can't wait til all this is done, y'all are moved, and you can relax a bit.
((((((((Bea))))))))))Me too. I was one of those unwanteds
oh thanks for the reminder. I forgot to set the DVR for this! It looked really interesting! Wish my brother were alive, he'd love to see this.
Jup they sure have. Some of the things are nice, but just more stuff to break on em. The last car I had, bought in 2004, son traded it in in 2012 (it was a 98 Taurus), was the first car I'd had that even had power windows! hehehe
Love the purple part!!We talked, we cried, we held each other close, and then we ate stuff that was bad for us and watched TV and laughed. All in all, it was a pretty decent weekend.
that's what I wuz thinking when she posted that. I saw green maters and got excited. Then she said she ripened em. what????Noooooooo.... don't wait for them to ripen. Batter them in corn meal and fry them! Fried green tomatoes are AWESOME!!
LOVEEEEEEEEE me some fried green maters, and hardly ever get em. I do about 2/3 cornmeal to 1/3 flour. Season the maters and the breading with a lil salt and garlic powder. Then fry em in bacon grease!! Hey, I'm southern.......veggies aren't allowed to be healthy here! oh that's awful. Hope you can get some new ones soon.
My son never did get any orthotics that helped with his, they all made him hurt worse. But the compression socks did help quite a bit. A pain, cuz you have to hand wash em and they take forever to dry, but worth it cuz they helped. The VA only gave him 3 pr. I'm certain I had it also when I was workin on my feet all the time, but never knew it. Just didn't have brains enough to go to a doc cuz my feet hurt. Was always much worse after sitting for a bit. Like driving home. Could barely stand on em getting outta the car into the house.
Wow......I always thought, and still do that WA state would be a gorgeous place to visit, but man I sure wouldn't wanna live there.
lmao. I do this to my son all the time. We'll be talkin bout sumpthin. Then get quiet. My brain goes off on 1003 bunny trails, and suddenly I'll pipe up with something that is sooooo far from what we were talking about, that he shakes his head like he got whiplash and asks, where did that come from???? Well, it wuz sorta a logical progression. He's learning to hang on to my train of thought a bit better so he don't fall off going around them sharp turns!Well you ever try to take a nap in the afternoon, but your mind wanders so much you can't test. Well it happens to me a lot. It goes something like this:
Laid down and thought about Little Bird checking in and how good it was.
That led me to wondering about Bells - no vids for a couple of days.
That led me to thinking about drones.
Which led me to thinking about the guy who uses drones with his ghouls for Halloween scare tactics.
Which led me to thinking about scary movies with ghouls, vampires, bugs, dinosaurs and such.
Which led me to thinking about a giant spider that was so big he ate a T-Rex as a snack.
Just then the spider looked at me and I jumped awake and decided an afternoon cup of coffee was a better idea...
(((((((((((((((((Russell)))))))))))) dunno if it's that time for you or not, but there are times ya gotta get some folks outta yur life, or at least stop dealing with them. We teach people how to treat us by what we allow from them.
I found ya.....yur over there ~~~~~~~~~~~~>
yay!!!!! Hope it stays that way!
is that at 20 or 40 drops/ml? I need to figger a % At some point I need to git some of dat stuffs. Lurve me some key lime.
Love me some fried dill pickles!!
Good to see ya hun!! How are you doing????
I think it's a great idea! And agree it would definitely need to be locked with 2 or 3 gatekeepers that are on here all the time and are long timers. I say long timers just in case folks from the past show up......newer porchers wouldn't know who they are.
this I have wanted for a long time!! Sometimes we've found out what happened to someone, sometimes they'd just disappeared and we've never known. I have phone #'s for a lotta folks, as many of us do. But would also be nice to have a family contact in case we can't get hold of someone.
oh wow congrats to her!!!! Wish I could send you first class!!! You'll go if we gotta start a go fund me thingy for ya!!
you probably also remember this. I was living in Galveston when they started putting these on I-45 Folks would find out where they were and go shoot em! lol
I quit a job over them not letting me know if my vacation was approved or not when I'd put in for it way in advance when my son graduated basic. He was leaving for a year to CA for language training, then 4 months of other training, and no way to know if he'd have any time at home before being deployed. Did the same thing with another one when the director had just told me that he still hadn't heard from the head office. My dad was dying, and I needed to get to Houston. After a meeting in his office, my team mgr came and told me she'd seen the letter open on his desk saying it was approved. I yelled at him in front of everyone, told him exactly what I thought of him, and where he could stick his job and stormed out. Then my car wouldn't start
Don't git between me and those I love! Neither one was a great job, but it really wouldn't have mattered. I knew my dad was going to die while I was there. She later told me he felt awful when he found out my dad had died while I was there. Good to see ya!
love this and totally swiped it!! Just hate all you're going through. Just try to deal with it with humor as much as you can hun.
Sent from a dark, twisted corner of the back porch, covered in cobwebs and slightly damp.
Is this logistics thing something they ship a lotta stuff through? Didn't you say you were having these things shipped to the states, or did I misunderstand?
that's adorable, but that poor lil puppy looks freaked out!
Great..... my dream is going to be a musical where a spider eats a T-rex.
I tried to introduce a "No spiders allowed" bill on the back porch some time ago but even after a anti-arachnid fueled filibuster on my part I wasn't successful. So, in the spirit of "If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em" I submit the following:
Creepy lookin' little critter, isn't he?

Bravo, Deb... Bravo... I do believe that was a Record multi-quote!!! *insert slow-clap here*
I absolutely agree, Darlin'. I've often said that this struggle is the forge fire that will strengthen us for the battle to come. Having reached our current point, I am oddly grateful for the things that we have faced before now... we are more prepared for the things that we are currently facing, and the things that are still to come. I just pray that the Good Lord doesn't think that we need much more strengthening...
I agree... I can't imagine how much it would cost to repair some of those fancy new systems!
Hahahhahahaha! Sometimes we just need to do the things that make us smile and laugh.
Mama always just used cornmeal (seasoned with salt and a l'il cayenne), but yeah... definitely fried in bacon grease!!
I had one pair that worked pretty well for a while, but they weren't prescription ones from a doctor. I had found a place that did custom ones based on a mold of your foot. I don't remember where that was, so I figure I should probably just get a doc to do it... but maybe I should try to find another custom place. Might be easier and more comfortable. Mine seem to be worse when I spend any real length of time on my feet. Usually sitting for a while and then standing doesn't particularly make it any worse.
That's horrible! He felt awful? Really? SMH... he'd have felt a whole lot worse when I got done with him! The nerve of some people...
Hahahaha! That one's actually kinda cute! Almost like a dog/bat/spider!

Took 1/2 hour to catch up from yesterday. Course, 15 minutes was spent reading @Debadoo's post! Clearly, that's where I picked up this bad habit!
I've been thinking of getting a watercolor semi colon on the back of my neck. There's a thing called the Semi Colon Project, mostly geared towards young people who have changed direction. The semi colon reminds them that they have a choice, and that their past doesn't necessarily dictate their future. I love that.

I know we porchers swing from dismay through humor in our responses to your situations. Regardless, we do this only to give you either some understanding, support, hugs, a 'wake-up' call, humorous frustration/diversion or any combination thereof.
Within this cyber porch family, there are at least a few others that have battled some of your challenges. You have not received an ironclad solution due to the fact that you are you and we all have been dealt different 'hands'.
Just know that we care and would provide a solution if we could. Nonetheless, PLEASE keep us updated in case a porcher can 'click da switch'!
With love from many here, take care of yourself first...
Fried green tomatoes and fried dill pickles. <swooning>
No Amazon issues... No UPS issues, either. Hmmm.
Omega. Wonderful!I was thinking of getting a tattoo.
My first choice is:
But, then I thought maybe:
Not as pretty and spiritual. But, I love the multiple meanings. Plus, my daughter, Melinda, says she'll get a matching alpha to go with it.

LOL! She really did secure her place as Queen of the Multi-Quote with that post!
That is a very cool sounding project! I'm going to go look into that to learn more about it. What a wonderful sentiment.
awwwwww thanks sweetie! You even did that maths for me....... luv ya!!!40dp/ml
.45ml/30ml nic base
1.5%
Don't ferget da lemon juice! And noper, ain't measuring dat...
hehehe it's right up there for sure, but may or may not have had some that have been longer in the past
No kiddin! I've had a few talks with him about his sneakiness at times. One part He says He'll ever put on me more than I can bear.......then he sneaks in....... But you can bear ALL things through ME.I just pray that the Good Lord doesn't think that we need much more strengthening...
Mike had put up a link to some that he said were amazing. I'd showed em to my son, but he didn't get em.
Now I have no idea where I saved the link, but I'm sure @MikeE3 knows it. no kiddin! He didn't feel too danged good by the time I got done with him I was seeing red when I walked out........ but was later told that most everyone in the office (30-40 peeplez) were sitting there with their mouths hangin open. But to borrow Iffy's expression, being an azzhat wuz somethin most had come to expect from him. Some folks are just angry bitter people. It's a shame, but ya can't do much with most of em.
hehehe but that's a good habit! I am just trying to help matt out. Instead of him fretting over not being caught up.......all he has to do is search for one or two of my posts, and he'll know most everything that's happened here since his last visit!Took 1/2 hour to catch up from yesterday. Course, 15 minutes was spent reading @Debadoo's post!
Plus I'm conserving posts so we don't have to move so often. Oh....that is sooooo kewl!
