Vibes. My round 1 came after flying as well, couple weeks after mask became optional in the air. Flew to France and back, miraculously I didn't get it on the way there to fuck up my time off but on the way back I was surrounded by people with the black lung and was sick by the time I got off the plane. The sky incubator will get you every time.Quote:

I'm convinced that an airplane is where I caught my two cases of COVID. Both times seated near someone coughing their head off, with no mask.Quote:

Boissal, I would definitely be taking a much harder line with this than you. Much. But I'm glad everyone in your own family is getting better.
Great. Now I'm hungry for cheese...Quote:

See this all the time on Facebook from businesses and athletes and whatever. These are autoposts to FB from IG, I think. And FB doesn't have a "bio". So if you want to see that link you have to go to IG and find that company/athlete or google or whatever, which entirely defeats the whole point of the post.
I chuckled.Quote:

I ordered a Murphy bed on Wayfair last year that I just got around to installing this week due to being in the middle of a move and it not being a huge priority to install right away.
Come to find out I'm missing an entire part of the kit needed for the actual bed frame portion of the furniture, not to mention they didn't ship the two side cabinets included in the order. Called Wayfair twice because the first customer rep was useless, second time got a "senior" rep who was slightly more useful in that she gave me a number for the manufacturer/wholesaler but still said she couldn't do anything for me.
So now I'm sitting on a pile of boards with no actual hardware to be able to assemble the bed itself and still missing essentially half of what I originally placed the order for. This is partly my fault for not opening up the boxes right away, but they were huge and heavy as fuck so figured everything was in them. It also doesn't shift the blame away from Wayfair for being shady AF and not providing what I paid for. They only shipped 2 boxes which I now realize should have been at least 4.
That’s absolutely shit and it sucks you have to put up with that kind of bullshit. You could try to price at leevalley/woodcraft/rockler the missing hardware but fuck wayfair
When your kid gets a flat and you drive to where she is and the jack that came with the car is missing a critical piece. I had to leave and drive to where I had a strong enough signal to get the AAA app to work. PITA...
You’ve had quite run of a few days GL.Quote:

Had a major one with my mom's hearing aids that cost around $6k. She never told us she got them (bravo for her doing it) but when she had issues putting them in, she never told anyone and just didn't use them. It's a stupid design that someone without dexterity or good cognitive ability won't be able to handle since you have to hold it a certain way putting it in. Now it's too late to return them for a different design and we're stuck with it, or will have to pay more $$$ for ones she'll actually be able to use.
I'm mostly annoyed at the hearing aid place for sending her out the door with them when she clearly couldn't get them in herself.
Winning! No... The best part is the week isn't over yet. Yay. I did solve the plumbing problem painlessly so that was nice.Quote:
