Man, these 'Theories of International Politics', GET IN MY HEAD!
Still have until Monday, but it's getting closer.
The fact that there is such a thing as a Becker forum ain't helping, lol.
 
Fried okra, chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes with gravy, and you got yourself one of the best meals of all time.

Dickey's was a godsend. Here in WV their idea of barbecue is, well, terrible. Pork is the only option typically, and it is always sweet barbecue sauce, like they never heard of hickory before. So Dickey's opens up, and I go there to try it out, and I know five seconds after walking in it is going to be good, like barbecue was back home in Oklahoma. Talked to the owner, (and the boy talked to the owners daughter, high five little man) and he said they won't even let you open a restaurant unless you go stay with them in Texas for a week to learn how to make proper barbecue. Now, being from Oklahoma, I am pretty certain that Texas is an abomination and a slight against god, but I will admit they know how to cook, and they at least know how to barbecue some frickin brisket.

Potato you say, hmmm.......

So for those of us scoring at home, this still counts as a serving of 'vegetables' right?

Yes, as well as the chives, those count too. And the onion. To be honest, this was a huge helping of vegetables and just a little meat. I should be ashamed.
 
Anybody else use the Snow Peak 600? Got a nice lid for mine, which really helps with water boiling or just heat up.

hot sauce is always a must!

So i gave up on a missing package. i ordered a bk9 for a xmas gift a couple months ago and it was lost in the mail, tomars didnt have insurance on it so i got nothing from that! paypal said that tracking shows its in my city, but has never been delivered so i should go pick it up. i tried over 10 times and they cant locate the package, after 15 days it was suppose to be returned to tomars but it was never located and i never got a refund. i know tomars shipped it, so i just blame the post office... sux tho-

that's odd.
If the PO shows it was never delivered, Tomars should refund you, IMO.
Insurance protects the sender, not the recipient. If a vendor doesn't want to insure their packages, they're ethically on the hook for the lost package. Did you talk to Tomars?

Yea we emailed back and forth for a while and then they told me to put the dispute in with paypal to get the money returned because they opened an investigation with USPS and couldnt do anything until that was over and it could take months, so i did, then paypal decided since tracking never updated and it still said it was in my city and since tomars provided tracking i didnt get a refund. i sent in some papers from the post office showing that the tracking had expired but could not update unless it was found and scanned in again or something like that and still i was denied the reversal with paypal since when they checked it on there computer tracking said it was still in my city. i spent hours on the phone with paypal and still no dice. then tomars stopped replying to my emails and i just gave up!

Sent them this via email. Don't know if it will help, but I know I won't recommend them as easily here if they don't insure their stuff.

Dear Tomar's:

I help moderate the Becker and the Ka-Bar subforums on Bladeforums.com

I am curious if you insure packages. There is a report on BFC currently that you do not. It strikes me as odd, and I just wanted to get the word straight from you. The subforums send a fair deal of business your way, and I am troubled by this report that you cannot make good more quickly on lost-package claims.

Granted, it's just one side of the story, but it appears that this guy is going to have his money tied up for months with no knife. Even though you told him to dispute a transaction with PayPal, he's gotten no satisfaction from their corner:

Ahhh!! You ever put something away then later go on the hunt looking for it? I put my trail hawk away cause it was sitting on my tool box and it was always getting in the way.. so I put it away now I can't find it...
 
So I'm driving around town and I get to cut off by 2 different women on cell phones, both with small children in the backseat. I wonder how many more people lose their lives to dumb people driving while talking on a cellphone than assault weapons. Why not ban cell phones? Or at least find a better way to enforce law that people cant use them while driving. Im all for a chip in every vehicle that disables all phones in the car while it is moving. No call or text is more important than the lives and safety of yourself and those around you. Sirry if there are any typos. Its hard to drive while typing this:Dl

This is exactly why I refuse to use the USPS anymore unless its insured. The PO sucks now.

I only use po for shipping, I always get A tracking number and priority flat rate shipping. only problem i ever had is someone gave me a wrong address after telling me that's where they want it shipped.

really? that level of collapse is completely contrary to my USPS experience.
I wonder if there's a bad link in the chain. What state do you live in, Worldwood?

Wow. Klondike Derby. Haven't heard that term in years. I competed in mine in....ready for it?...1961! They told us each patrol had to build a sled, so we did. I did a search dog demo at the same camp a few years ago and was telling the guy who was in charge of the camp that I'd been there as a kid doing the Klondike. He just grinned. He said they are STILL using those sleds we built back in the last century! I guess we did a good job. :D
