May 10, 2008 New Ship Of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 5

Under the new system they will have it so sellers CANNOT leave feedback only buyers. Which is odd so if you join now and only buy you will never have feedback? I do not see how this helps anyone at all. You will no longer be able to see who is a scammer and get them blocked from things you sell and some people may leave bad feedback more often knowing they will not be getting negged in return. I mainly buy but have sold stuff on occasion and the system is indeed flawed but the new way is worse I think.

I'm not sure either way is all that great.

I bought something on Ebay on 1/21 and am still waiting for delivery. Tracking through USPS has finally shown that it left Utah on Thursday.
The seller has not left me feedback. I pay within minutes of winning a bid.

I know that if I say anything negative, they will in all likelyhood say something negative back.

Frozen milk!!!

Sometimes in Spring I have caught the time when the cows are let out of their barn and they go running and kind of frolicking around in their new found freedom. Makes me smile.

The farmer up the road used to be a dairy farmer but now raises Angus cows. I think he kept the milk cows in more than the beef but you see cows around his place all the time. In fact he had some calves not too long ago. Poor things, they all look cold to me.

Not been on a Magic cruise sorry.

Our longest cruise was on the Wonder. The other two have been on the Magic but 3 years apart. I don't think we have had really bad servers on any of the trips. Looks like we will just have to wait and see who we get and hope for the best.

Hello everyone!

I get home and there are 60 pages of part 5 PLUS all the pages from part 4 I missed out on....needless to say, there is no way of catching up for me. Hope everyone is doing well and had great weekends.

We had an amazing time in the mountains with beautiful weather and fabulous skiing. Back at work this am so i get to be on line...the laptop is still dead.

I was thinking to utilise a white skirt I have. I will look for a white blouse, or I actually have an orangy/red one that could do. Then a sash and some jewellery.



Our friends still have bottles of milk - I will mention to them to look out for green milk this year.

I am looking for a peasant skirt.

Green milk, St. Patrick's day Cows?

 

[pahrumpgirl]

Well, I guess we'll have to leave it to chance. If our server isn't up to Disney standards, we'll have to whip him or her into shape for the next cruisers.

We can do that!

Ok... so which Disney tropical one are you wearing so we don't clash...

They're mostly blue Hawaiian shirts & a dress. There are pictures of Mickey and other characters surfing. I bought them on clearance for only $14.99 each last fall. We probably won't be the only ones wearing them. I also think I have the same sparkly beaded red top that Nan is wearing in her formal night photo. Just warning you, Nan, I'm bringing the same old top again this year. Two women with the same dress.

At first I typed that as "two women in the same dress" Now that really would be

I have a Lifestyle photo confession to make...I forced my children (& husband) to dress and pose for pictures EVERY NIGHT

All of them have told me that they refuse to take pictures on this upcoming cruise like we did last time. What am I going to do?????

I so treasure these photos. They are a window into the memories of that trip, which was the best (so far).

Ok, this time I'm going to journal. That will have to tide me over.

We are crazy btw and yes we are sticking together

Nan, do you make appointments for the Lifestyle photos or just show up and stand in line? We've never done them, but I would like to try it this time.
Thanks

Cabins - we have had a cabin assigned since we booked...Guess we were lucky - although we did have a few that we requested.

I thought I would go on line and check and make sure, but you guessed it

or should I say

Yep, I've been waiting about 20 minutes to retrieve my reservation!

 

[HollyTyler]

And that's a single serving, right???!!!

Though I'm a Twizzler's gal...

Yes, that's a single size serving!

 

[gydell]

OK I have a problem Dominic has now seen these pics and is mad. He is not in them! So next time I will remember to take a picture of the boy! Here he is for his own amusement!

Cute!

"Life is like melted butter. . .once things cool down,
it can be reshaped!"

I liked the entire poem, but this is the line that made me laugh out loud. Thanks for the pick-me-up today.

I wonder - is anyone doing the cabin map thingie that shows a dot for a DIS'er - like where their cabin is?

That was me in December, . I could try again this year. What will we do with the life boat crew, hmmmm.


Here is what we did....

I took the map they give you at check-in, I have a scan, and put a green dot over every cabin that contained a DISER, or the main cabin for multi-unit DISers. Then on the side I did a Dis name only list with actual cabin #, sort of an index.

How small would it need to be to be added to Linda's Nav?

Does anyone want this?

Well we got some bad news today and need some prayers.

I was supposed to spend the first half of my day scrapping with my mom, she even took the day off. Well this morning she called to say her friend who has lukemia was on life support and they think she was not going to make it. SHe was going to visit her, I told her to stay as long as she needed we would do our things another day. They think the chemo instead of helping her is killing her. She has a daughter 26 year old daughter and new grandson. Yesterday she was haullcinating and today she is unresponsive. She still has a chance but it is small.

How is it that you have time to read other threads and I'm still not done with this one!!!!

It's called SPEED READING! Nan, the true DIS-addicts speed read!

I sell stuff on Ebay, and I'm from Utah, but I almost always ship within 24 hours of payment because my auctions close on Sunday so I ship on Mondays.

I did have this idiot buy something and he is in Puerto Rico and he bought on Dec. 15 and then said he didn't realize he was suppose to pay by Pay Pal. Wanted to know if I would ship COD. I said "NO", but send me a cashier's check and I will ship as soon as I receive. I have emailed him a half a dozen times with promises that the "check is in the mail". I still haven't received and reported him to Ebay as an unpaid seller. TOld him if payment wasn't here by Feb. 20 I was relisting on Ebay.

ALot of hassle for such a small item.
