Howdy y'all... I'm still here, but between trips by ambulance to the hospital, moving my entire household (I had to leave the hospital Acute Care Cardiac Unit) the day our movers stood us up. Another heart episode, and I'm strapped to a heart monitor moving with my wife that has just had a car accident and is suffering whiplash. So, here I am at my new place patiently waiting for my internet provider (ROGERS) to come hook me up. After a week's wait they finally come. Oh, but because so much spam comes from Rogers, they have changed their email rules. IE: I CAN'T ACCESS ANY OUTSIDE SMTP SERVERS. I can't access my website mail, I can't access hotmail, yahoo mail, Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express.... NO OUTGOING MAIL AT ALL. Even their smtp servers are messed up. Not only that but their DNS servers are screwed and I can't even access their supplied email. I have to use passive port 587 or 465, but neitrher of them work. I suffer while they take my money and tell me they're working on it. Saddest thing is they are the ONLY supplier in town. Also, their 'new' format doesn't allow me to access any secure pages (HTTPS) so that screws my ebay logins, paypal logins, etc, etc, etc.....
Ok, enough with the sob story. Tina knows the rest of what I'm going through.
Paul, I have sent your stuff. I haven't received any email from you, or instant messages, or private messages...... My apologies if it's not there. I had been delayed in sending right around the move 2 weeks ago, but I'm all caught up. Let me tell you, that anything that COULD go wrong, DID go wrong, in triplicate.
I take care of my customers, especially return customers, and ESPECIALLY ones from this forum. Generally I give bonuses, freebies, extras, or double your order. I can tell ya though, I'm seriously thinking of giving up the business. It's either that or everyone pays exhorbinant fees for shipping, with tracking, overnight delivery, signature, guaranteed, insured...... I try and keep my costs down, make everyone happy. I can also tell ya that I have been pissed on an awful lot lately and I think If I do stay in business, that it'll be that. Purely business. No personal side to it. I'm so frustrated and tired of bending over for my customers just to take it......
Paul, as ever, if it's not there, I'll resend. I have never lost a package yet, granted sometimes the AMERICAN post office can be mighty slow, especially with packages that come cross border containing food items, powders, little vials, and whatever else I send out..... I just hate sending out ANOTHER package at my expense just to hear that it came in the mail the next day and not a lick of thanks......
soooooo, yes, I am still around, not as healthy as I'd like to be. I try my best folks. Cut me some slack.
This isn't a personal attack Paul, I'm just getting it from all angles..... Spitting it out makes me feel better.
