As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Re: Complaint of the Day
Doing laundry this morning. While closing the washer lid, the hinge on the left side broke through the plastic. Not possible to fix, so I have to order whole new lid: $175!!! Why can they not make appliances that last!!!!! Ugh.

On the flip-side...
A couple of years ago the inner panel and insulation started separating on our chest freezer's door. I could have bought the parts and fixed it myself, but they would have cost more than just buying an entirely new freezer.

You are making me nervous - I am doing my laundry and I just put something in the fridge.
My complaint of the day? I sing too beautifully.*

TFW you're looking at making a significant watch purchase, but you wait too long to pull the trigger and then unexpected bills show up.

Re: Complaint of the Day
My complaint of the day: companies that generate a UPS or FedEx shipping label, thereby generating a shipment notification email, but then wait several days before actually shipping.

Re: Complaint of the Day
Best NFL coach rant by a factor of 10 that no one knows about.
Jerry Burns has a complaint about the fans booing and wanting Burns to fire the late Vikings OC Bob Schnelker.
This complaint/rant came after a come from behind overtime victory against the Rams.
Jerry had to get one more F--kers in under his breath on the way out, I love Burnsie!

Re: Complaint of the Day
I love Oris. I truly do. But when will they actually create something new? All these special editions based on the same watch bodies? It’s getting a bit boring.

Re: Complaint of the Day
This may be in the wrong place.
On ebay I hate to give a newby (gold star - 30 or 40 f/b) but what do you think?
In the description he wrote "fast shipping" Auction closed evening of Sat. Aug 1. I Paypaled him $$$ that evening. USPS got the watct on 8/6.
What was he doing with my watch from 8/1 to 8/6?? Did his delivery snail break down? No his fault that USPS still hasn't delivered it - its been raining in the Lou - but why did it take so long for him to get it to USPS?
Would you neg the jerk??

Re: Complaint of the Day
You can still give a neutral rating, right? If not, just call out shipping delay in the feedback.rich_in_the_lou wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 10:51 am This may be in the wrong place.

If not, I recall that you can give a star rating for specifics like shipping, etc.

I hate the feeling after missing out on a great deal.
