There was a coupon but no where did it state screaming was involved. Just a 'hey first time visitor! have a small coupon if you use our mobile app!' Oh well.

So I ordered a couple of those vertical planters thinking they'd be awesome for herbs, I now have worries of poisoning though.

I may have made a huge mistake.

You an adult? It's fine. Just don't use it for long term storage.

Heavy metal poisoning is more likely and a bigger deal for children, so maybe don't let kids drink from lead crystal.

My mini block pokemon things came today (shipping says 20 - 41 days, arrived in 17 and i even had notices from the post office that my parcel would arrive the day before and then what should we do with the parcel if you're not home, which isnt usual for aus post unless you pay for it???)

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr....28c34eff3dsanj

I didnt get a LOT, i did get 8 different ones. Each was individually packaged and then all were then in 1 parcel
I was going to say all is well (they say no box, but then fold the box up neatly and ship it as well) but the chinese instructions are un-usable. There is no way to tell what blocks to use or where one block ends and another starts. So i've had to find instructions that make sense.

But so far, no missing pieces, in fact quite a few spares.

(And again i think i paid a few cents less than what they are now with the sale)

Oh crap I just ordered the Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur from a different seller as a Christmas present for my nephew, didn't even consider that the instructions might end up being in Chinese. Oops.
He's 12 so maybe he can figure it out...

Otherwise I grabbed a bunch of other random small gifts for people with today's sale, and got a cute dress I had my eye on for 50% off

Almost got this for $20 over the Summer, left it in my wishlist and got a notification message about the prize getting dropped to $9 today :woop:

Not in chinese.

They are purely pictorial.

But
http://deaconross.com/post/127423882593/someone-asked-me-for-the-instructions-for

See in these instructions there are
1) what blocks you will need for each layer
2) you can actually SEE every block

So far it only has been with Snorlax (Charmander came with the better instructions and looking briefly at the others they also see a bit better) but remove the panel showing what blocks to get ready and then remove every single black/white outline from the blocks in the layer itself.

I'm waiting on a pillow that I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to dispute. The seller was very confused about my address and has provided multiple tracking numbers, none of which show any events. When I questioned this he told me

I think you find the best stuff by initially searching for something normal, then clicking the related links at the bottom of the page a few times and seeing where it leads.

e.g. these were all linked from the same search for "suit jacket"

Ordered a bunch of stuff yesterday, including a police scanner for my husband for his birthday and a big old winter hat for myself. Oh, and tons of make-up. My experience with makeup so far has been great. Nothing has been poor quality and most of the palettes and lipstick I've ordered have been top notch. The best face powder I've ever used I got on the AliExpress for less than two Euros. Foundation, BB and CC creams have been real hit or miss, but that's because it's hard as hell to match skin tone to a picture online.

Stuff is starting to ship out and one of the messages is from a guy who chose the English name of "Man Berryguy" for himself. I love it and have been puzzling over it all morning as to what direction he was trying to go in.

Ahh the bofeng u5R. This is actually a radio that can transmit.. be careful with it you don't want to broadcast on police frequencies... It's an okay scanner.. I use mine for both HAM and listening to the local non digital PD stations.

I have the regular 5R - it's solid feeling and seems to work fine, but I never caught anything interesting with it. Local cops are using digital supposedly, and from what I've read, it's not as sensitive as brand name 200+ radios, but I think that's ok if you just want to mess around with it.

Oh, thanks for the warning. I know nothing about radios and scanners, and I picked this one because it was priced right and people seemed to like it in the reviews. I'll be sure to tell him. It is obvious that you are transmitting? Can you disable that feature so you don't accidentally trigger it?
