Random Rants

Maybe it's time to call in a professional. At some point soon, that will cost less (in both time and money) than trapping it yourself.
Unless, of course, it's been a bit boring around the house and you're looking for some excitement. You can't put a price on that

I saw a mama skunk with a bunch of babies following her around a couple weeks ago and it was one of the cutest things I've ever seen.

Skunk update—no more pics or smells [emoji2371]. I’ve covered the hole and we are leaving for vacation tomorrow. Fingers crossed nothing goes awry while we’re gone. Neighbors on the lookout now too so it’s become a team effort to find Pepe a new home. Will report when we get home next week.

I went in Ooni’s website exactly one time at work. 4 days later I receive this in the mail at home. First ever time I’ve received an ad from them. Think is a coincidence? I think not. That’s a bold move openly letting people know you are tracking their home address from a click. Currently looking into the competitors pizza setup .

Won’t happen again. Works well. -
MY IH indigo henley was marked as delivered by UPS. I was not home so no one signed for it, and there was no package. My neighbor was outside weeding and we live on a dead end street, and he said no UPS truck came. There were no camera events on my doorbell camera. So, the driver failed to deliver the package, claimed that he did, and falsified my signature.
I have filed a claim with UPS but I am pissed off.

@mclaincausey really sorry about this. We will investigate and escalate it our end as well and hopefully get this resolved for you. We will keep you updated via email

Thank you—I was not angling for you to get involved and it is not your fault but the help is as appreciated as it is unsurprising, @AdamC

It is sad… Work ethic is in the toilet right now. I don't know what happened here and I am hoping it was a simple mistake, though it's hard to imagine how you type someone's name in in a digital signature when the practice is for them to ask your name and type that in. The only thing I think is plausible is they entered my name from the label, perhaps being lazy and dropping at the wrong address and not getting a signature. The whole point of the signature option that IH is paying them for is moot when this type of practice occurs.
Anyway--IH is going above and beyond as usual, and this rant was not an attempt to trigger action on their end (I didn't even think to mention it to them, and if I had would have done so directly). I was just genuinely pissed off and ranting. So, random love for IH proactively giving a shit about something that is not their fault.

@AdamC is already on it–these guys are good! thanks Adam!
-
and it's here!!
thanks @AdamC you can release the one you had saved
-
Thanks–me too. I really wanted a backup and a slightly larger one
-
@mclaincausey Glad this had a happy ending! Was it just a driver error?
-
simple mistake! just off by a house and nthe gentleman next store signed. I thought they usually ask for your name which is why I went to something nefarious but that was not the case
-
Same here. A lesson, no matter how damning the circumstances may at first appear, there may be a simple, non-nefarious explanation.
I won't go so far as to say my (nonexistent) faith in humanity is restored, but that would've been the first shipping SNAFU in my IH journey, so I am very pleased it has worked out.

Man…. United didn’t bother with Crisco, much less a reach around.
We’re flying to Dubrovnik, Croatia, on my wife’s dream vacation of many years to tour Dalmatia. We had a 3 hour layover built into our itinerary in Newark. There are only a couple of direct flights from there each week. We are traveling with a 20 month old. We did our part.
They had us on the tarmac for 3 hours. Second consecutive United leg I’ve been on where this has occurred. (I am being literal, return flight from Philly and outbound to Newark both 3 hours with a baby on a tarmac). I get it, weather happens, and don’t travel through these airports in the summer if possible.
I run across the concourse full speed, blistering my heel and rubbing a layer of skin off my lumbar as I’m carrying a bunch of bags on my back. Of course the arrival and departure gates are as far from one another as they literally could have been. Get to the gate and am looking at the plane with the jetway retracted for 20 minutes while they refuse to let us on.
Shitty service the whole time as a series of continued fuckups occurs, starting with the app indicating our bags were on their way to baggage claim, making us leave the secure area, where we learn our bags will in fact go to Dubrovnik per usual even though the app lied (getting someone on the phone or getting help in person is a several hour wait at this point). In the end this may have been a happy accident because we wound up getting in a much shorter line to rebook. That of course was a shit show, and took an act of Congress to get our daughter’s trans-Atlantic seats sorted without their trying to charge us for a seat we had purchased already (I’m still showing her as a lap baby so we’re not done with that battle in all likelihood).
Wind up getting to nyc midnight by train last night because we had no other options but to stay here as everything was booked in Newark. All told, a 24 hour travel day and not one hot meal, no clothes, god knows where our luggage is, no accountability from the airline that put us in this mess, and we’re flying through Frankfurt tonight, missing well over a day and paid-for lodging while having to pay out of pocket for lodging and travel expenses to make up for United sucking ass.
Not good, United. This is a trip we have had our eyes on for years and it got off unnecessarily to an unimaginably terrible start. We are going to rally and make the best of it, but this should not have happened, and you should have been remotely accountable and sympathetic instead of brusque, entitled, incompetent, and rude.
Not really many options in Denver, but they’ve left us no choice but to think about Delta or American (Southwest man here but we need an international airline and Brandi has standardized on these undeserving rats).
