Actaeon, did subtlesixer sale you anything ?

I just picked up that rifle the other day.
So I was good.

I did look around. Was looking for some cheap .308s for Black Betty.

Met another INGOer. I can't remember his name. He said he mainly reads, doesn't post much.

I picked up 4 boxes. I picked up a gun safe for the bedroom, and one for the truck. The one I have in the truck only fits medium guns like my M&P, but not a 1911 or Model 19. And the one I already have in the bedroom only fits the one pistol. So the second one allows me to put all my carry pistols in the room now.

I'll just toss this out there to call bull **** on the comments posted thus far. USPS just implemented a new tracking system at the beginning of the year. Formerly, the tracking was worthless. That is not true anymore. It's still not UPS quality, but it's not just 3 scans... This is copy and paste from a package I received today.

Here's a screen shot of the email alerts that I get each time it's scanned.

Well its 1:30am and I'm wide awake. My fingers no longer hurt. My wrist is still a little sore. No elbow pain at all. Shoulder is just a little sore but collar bone hurts a lot. Oh and my eyes are burning from the stench of the mentholated muscle rub.

No range of motion issues. Everything moves like it should. Biggest/only real concern is collar bone.

I think I'll probably have a bruise on my hip too.

I probably shouldn't fall down anymore.

 

[tv1217]

Solid plan. I learned that one after falling off a ladder only about 5 feet off the ground and tearing up my ankle and posterior cruciate ligament on opposite legs.

USPS has up to 11 scans for free on Standard Post and up. You can get tracking on first class mail but you pay for it. Still up to 11 scans. I sell alot of stuff on ebay and use USPS.

Lucky you. You must be special, because everything I've gotten (or sent) since the beginning of the year has been scanned once when it was sent and once when it was delivered. (Even if it was a week-long cross-country trip.)

 

[t_star]

in Lowell?

The one and only.

But I wasn't there. I had to suffer through Hooter's, then went to shoot pool league games. At least I was warm.

 

[aclark]

I was at the parade. Sat right in front of the Masonic Lodge, across from diamond jims.

Hum... So Jedi is not going crazy just yet then.
Jedi wonders if it's how the tracking number is created.
Are you doing it via PayPal, via the USPS website, or by going to a physcial USPS store?

I was up from just before midnight to shortly after 3am. Got back to sleep and slept unit 5:15am, woke up for a few minutes and fell back to sleep until about 7:30. MOST of my body is pretty much pain free. BUT my collar bone area is still in pain, especially if I lift my arm up over my head. I have full range of motion, but it hurts when I use all of it! There is a little bit of pain in my wrist, but honestly with the arthritis in my wrist I am used to that minor pain. So the new plan is now a 2 part plan. 1) Don't fall down. 2) Don't lift my right arm over my head.

Snowball had a good night last night. We were a bit worried because he was pretty uncomfortable during the evening. Just restless. So his night was much better than mine. I took him out one time, about midnight. Slept from midnight to morning. Never even a whimper.

Went back out a little while ago, he's limping a little bit, but no complaining or whimpering. Ate well, now curled up next to me resting comfortably.

Looks like the prednisone may be working, hopefully the 'cold laser' treatments work too.

I've been sleeping like that for a month :/

When I send, I always do it through USPS website. I assume that vendors do also, but who knows.

We should start an nwi insomniacs thread, cuz I'm in the same boat.

Been a terrible sleeper since I was a teenager though, so it's nothing new.
