Sympathy like.

I think that's pretty bogus because they are supposed to deliver it TO you...if you aren't there, they might as well just drop it off at the nearest mall and let anyone have it...if they don't need proof (signature) to show that they actually did deliver it to the right person, how do we hold them accountable? They could just keep it and SAY they delivered it.

Actually not minding it since it is so pretty. And the temps are mid 30s so not too cold.

This is true. Amazon is piloting a program in our area where you can give them a key and they can leave the package inside the door. I don't know anyone who trusts them enough to give them a key though, LOL. Maybe a garage door opener....
This time of year a lot of packages go missing. Amazon is usually really good at replacing stolen goods, but we haven't had luck at other retailers. For this reason, most of our online holiday shopping comes from Amazon.

They SHOULD be if they didn't deliver it properly. Leaving it unattended and unlocked is not delivering it properly.

So....this was my day.
DD did the top border...she's still learning and wanted to practice, so I did the bottom one to show her how to do it, and she did the top one and I repaired a couple of places. DS is thrilled with it. I felt bad though...I told him I'd make something for him to take to chess tonight to share and I totally forgot, and this is for tomorrow, so I had to get chips for him to take to chess instead of making something. Mom fail. I totally dropped the ball.

5 days?? Wow!! We went in the Summer just for 1 day and got almost everything in that we wanted to do. There were things I would have liked to do, but DS didn't want to, so we skipped those. We did everything else though. I hope you have a great time!!

I don't send out cards simply for the fact that it's too expensive with international postage. I would have to send 100+ cards to the US, plus about 50 to 100 here. It would cost me hundreds of dollars to do. So I don't.

Oh no!! Do you get a different day off instead?I am so tired today. I always leave my phone on at night in case work needs me. I have email and most other things on silent and family and friends know not to WhatsApp between 10pm and 5.30am. This morning just after 3am my phone starts buzzing, I get up to check and it is my sister in law in Australia. She is so excited because she just finished her last day of work. I didn't have the heart to tell her she woke me up so we chatted for a bit about her upcoming flights and the trip etc.
Normally I would have cut it shorts to go back to sleep but today was my day off so I figured I could sleep in and take it easy today. Maybe even have a nap...
So I go back to bed at 5am only for my work to call me at 6am to ask me to come in.

Technically they are if they deliver a box in the front door and they fake the signature when "signature" is required.

Cancel it and resend it.
There must be something blocking the communication correctly.
Do you see the printer in your PRINTER AND SCANNERS section?
If you do, click on it then select MANAGE (in windows 10)
then to PRINTER PREFERENCES.
Now this is tricky as every printer as its own system.
But there should be a MAINTENANCE area or something similar that allows changing options of the printer.
What you need to check is the "printer wake up" or "standby" settings to see if your computer is set to "wake up" the printer when its in low power mode (standby, idle, etc..)
If the printer is NOT visible in the list, then something is definitively blocking the drivers from seeing the printer.
Id recommend that you try going to the printer with your problematic computer and put a USB cable and see if it sees the printer as USB device, and then print on it.
If it prints via USB then its the wireless connection. If it does not see the printer, then its the computer and the drivers not sending the proper connections.

Sometimes you have to open the queue and click on RESTART .Can't say that thought didn't cross my mind. Restarted the computer, and nothing. Document still in queue.

Your Printer smells fear. Because it seems that as soon you call me or @StarWarsGirl.. it starts working again

I still think its an awful idea. The same day shipping service used by amazon.. is subcontracted if I remember correctly.
and I read that most of them are felons and criminals.
Giving them your keys is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad idea.

It is subcontracted and it is a bad idea,... but most of the drivers we've had also had Uber and whatnot decals on their cars or been young kids like pizza delivery people. I'm not saying I'd trust them in my house, but I'm pretty sure the majority aren't felons and criminals.

We changed it up a bit and did a themed card this year because it seems like the "awkward family photo" thing is getting a bit too mainstream. Everyone is doing it. I sound like a hipster right now, LOL. We just try to have fun with it
Personally, I like beardless.
Now you're going to show me a picture of a beardless chameleon or something, right?
Love the cake! What kind is it?

@RedNoseMickey My half brother lives in Australia with his family. He told me to install What's App months ago. Never could get it to work. Installed it again after seeing your post. I messaged him not expecting anything back since it is a 16 hour difference between the East Coast and Melbourne. He surprisingly answered. He was on his way home from a Christmas party for his office at 2am their time. We rarely get to chat so that was awesome. Thanks. I tried to use imessage with him before but he was afraid of fees. This is free plus we can send each other long videos. Thanks!

Sympathy like sending warm {{HUGS}} and some hot chocolateI guess it is okay when it disappears within a few hours and the temps go above 60 the next day. I just checked the weather and wow that jet stream totally dipped down south just about as far south as the southeastern border of Texas. Crazy.Oh, and apparently my area is going to see some snow starting in 29 minutes. No temps over 41 for the foreseeable future.
Praying for a freak winter warm-up. Oh wait, we're not in winter yet.
Enjoy the warmth down in Florida @Gabe1
