Did you list it as a gift? Ive always had good luck shipping there.


OT: Good to be back in the forum here. Spent the time after the Olympics getting ready for the first visit from my in-laws. My husband's parents were super nice to me. No complaints. They are impressed I can speak Norwegian. But the 3 twenty year old nieces, after staying with us couldnt even be bothered with a simple thank you email. Or a photo with us on FB out of the 150+ they posted. What a bunch of spoiled princesses. It really hurt my husbands feelings. Anyway so glad his daughter is now married and all this getting together with exes and etc. is over. His family relations are not simple or pleasant all the time. I must admit my family is very high maintenance as well. I am suddenly remembering why I live so far away from both of them.
Well, his parents come back tomorrow for a few more days. Which is fine. ANother chance to test my language skills.

In-laws can be mighty difficult. My mother-in-law used to be feisty and temperamental but now I'm dealing with a mother-in-law who is experiencing Alzheimer symptoms. The feistiness and hot temper ares gone.....now we're dealing with someone who can't make any decisions. So sad to see her go downhill.

I know the feeling.

OT: Chinese spammers that speak French.

Not to say I wouldn't be just as bothered by French spammers that speak Chinese.

And on the other side of the coin, people that DON'T cancel their turn signal.

I feel like pulling up next to them, taking out my flashlight and flashing it in their face until they get the message!!

I got tired of that too. So I setup a squid proxy on my VPS to block ads, cookies and all those nasty little web trackers - at least 99.9% of what I don't like.

Sounds like about as endearing as a turkey burger and a flat Coke.
