Nothing there is THAT important......


Create a "Burner" email address that is used for nothing else but signing up for those types of demanding sites. There would be no compelling reason to monitor the 'junk box' email address, only login occasionally to delete the inbox items and empty the trash if the trash does not get automatically deleted after 30 days.

With regards to public complaints about where a topic was posted, that's ego and having nothing better to do than derail a thread before it has barely been seen. There is a "report issue" button below each post in every thread, so a user can alert Admin without having to clutter the thread with nonsense.


Way back in my days, there was always one kid in every grade school classroom who took it on their own to make a list of names of the classmates who talked or misbehaved while the teacher was out of the room and gleefully handed the list to the returning teacher in the most angelic manner possible. That was their first opportunity at a position of authority (though self-appointed) and evidently some seem to have retained the need to assert that authority well into their adult years.

Interesting. Tillamook adds water. I wonder if that makes a difference. I'm going to go in and get a big bowl of ice cream?


Keep in mind, beer and wine also have a water component.

Sorry for this rant on customer service....okay....I'm really not....

8 months ago we moved from Wisconsin to Florida. We haven't regretted the move at all....okay that's not the rant.

I changed all our addresses...even on PayPal. Apparently I was supposed to get a verification email for them to verify the new address from PayPay, which I never got. Yet the only address on file with them was our Florida address.

Whenever I ordered something and used PayPal to pay for it, the item got shipped to Wisconsin, even though I put down our Florida address for the orders. I never put it all together until I ordered some things from Adorama and used PayPal for payment. When I called Adorama to ask why my items were getting sent to Wisconsin even though the only address they have is my Florida address....they told me it was because when I use PayPal the address they have overrides they shipping address.

When I contacted PayPal they had no explanation, thought they got the address change verified on the phone.

Okay....now the good part...or better part...

I've been going on with Adorama and USPS for nearly a month to coordinate getting the items that I ordered reshipped to where I actually live.

I've about had it with the customer service at Adorama. They can't seem to process the returns in less than a week even with my prodding and telling them that the item(s) have been delivered to them. The last straw was last night. I get an email from Adorama telling me that they were finally shipping my items to me. When I run the UPS tracking number....guess what? Yeah...they're shipping the items back to my old Wisconsin address...the same address that they just got it returned from.

When I contacted Adorama....I got asked where I wanted it shipped to. I told them the address but added that it's the only address that you have on file. When I asked why they were shipping it back to Wisconsin....no explanation.

I understand that in shipping some mistakes happen and initially this was not Adorama's fault, but they've hindered or messed up this whenever they've gotten the chance. I'm loyal to a company/retailer when they take care of me or provide good customer service when I need them to fix the mistake.

Adorama is not doing much to make me want to use them again.

Rant over...resume your normal activities.

About 4 years ago, I abandoned the PayPal ship after going through a similar scenario. The outcome was that PayPal froze my account and no one from PayPal could give me a reason for that action. I was actually shocked that I was able to even get someone from PayPal on the telephone to discuss the situation even if was to no avail. It is my opinion that PayPal is totally F.U.B.A.R., and I am elated since the divorce. Life is too short to waste it on worthless pursuits.

I've tried several things from online searches and from suggestions given here. Whatever technique I tried, the options available to me were different from the directions given. I think I finally found a solution.

Go to -
1. Control Panel
2. Network Adapters
3. Intel...
4. Power Management
5. Uncheck “Allow this device to wake the computer.”


How did you get from "CONTROL PANEL" to "NETWORK ADAPTORS" ? Did you omit a step or more?

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the "suits" are putting together their game plans for acquiring government bailouts because their self-destruction tactics didn't go as planned.

Yes, and I can understand that. I bought a nice carry-on years ago. I forget the brand, but I noticed that flight crews had the same one. I guess I made a good choice. TravelPro.

I like his videos. - "Pilot Debrief"

I watched a YouTube video the other day, and the guy did a plug for his sponsor, the maker of a beautiful, aluminum suitcase. As he described it, I guessed at the price - probably $400. At the end of his presentation, he said that clicking on his link would get you a $300 discount on this piece of luggage.

I wasn't sure of the brand, but I tracked it down. https://sterlingpacific.com/products/sterling-pacific-35l-cabin-carry-on-travel-case-luggage


I saw that also. He even commented that he could not use that case for his work travel because his airline mandated that pilots use black luggage. He must be making Bank from his YouTube and Airline gigs.

At Junior High School in the school office serving as an 'Office Aide' during the staff lunch period. Ironically, it was my own mother who telephoned the school to inform of the tragic event and I was the one who answered the telephone.
