      Thank you, Mew. Feeling better but it'll be a few more days before I'm back to my old self. In the meantime, drinking plenty of fluids gets me through the day pretty well. That, plus an occasional shot of NyQuil

        Dropshippers! Especially the ones that steal pics/listings from Japanese auction/shopping sites and then put them on eBay for triple the price. There's a listing up for one of my fandoms right now, the original seller is selling it for dirt cheap (probably about £5, maybe a bit more with shipping), and an eBay dropshipper has copied their listing and is trying to flip it for almost £50 :/ Not sure how much that is in USD, but you get the idea. It just infuriates me, scammers taking advantage of buyers who don't know/realize they're being significantly overcharged... I despise scammers. People that try and overcharge for their own items, sure, okay - it's your item, you name the price, if it's too much then you probably won't sell it anyway. Dropshippers that try this scam with generic items that you can buy elsewhere are annoying, I don't like them, but at least with those you've got more options to buy the item than just them. if that makes sense.

        But these dropshippers that steal listings from Japanese auction sites... they really annoy me since they're deliberately building a "business model" on tricking people, targeting buyers that probably don't know about proxy sites to help you buy directly from Japan and whatnot. It's slimy, I hate it. And eBay won't do anything about it, of course :/ You report it and they go "nothing wrong here " and sigh.

          Dropshippers don't always charge more. I sell on Etsy, and dropshippers steal our photos and undercut our prices, and then send cheaper versions of stuff to the buyers. But it steals business from the real creators.

              Yesterday morning, Microsoft Edge glitched and wiped out all of my logins and saved passwords, as well as all of my preferences on MSN. Damn annoying. Didn't take too long to redo everything, except DeviantArt, which kept rejecting my password and repeatedly failed to send me the requested password reset email. The email was eventually sent when, four hours later, I tried yet again, but man, what an aggravating pain in the @$$.

                  With all due respect to Lauren, vegans are the grumpiest, most intolerant S.O.B's on the face of the Earth.

                    Truth. Probably from B 12 starvation.

                      There is absolutely no excuse for this @$$#0le's behavior. Life, no possibility of parole. EVER.

                        Internet went out yesterday afternoon due to heavy snow. A technician is coming out to look at the line Tuesday morning. In the meantime, I shelled out ten bucks to Xfinity about twenty minutes ago to access their wireless service until my regular connection with Frontier is restored. Pain in the @$$ but at least I'm online again. Winter blows.

                              You want cold? We got it. Over the last few days the weather here flip-flopped completely. On Saturday and Sunday the high was barely 51 degrees and it'll be the same for today and Tuesday. Currently 44 here, a little past midnight, bottoming out at 34 around 6:00 AM. I have decided not to complain about it.

                                I have something: So, on the 7th, the Police department invaded our apartment, for a couple minutes, asking for someone named Taylor. They thanked us for cooperating, and that they said Taylor is a dangerous individual. Yeah, they did come in, and check so they'd know we wasn't lying, when we said we didn't knew who Taylor was. They said they wouldn't bother us anymore, and that we were in the clear The fact they had a Guard dog too, whoever Taylor is, they must've done something really bad. Ironically, back on June 30, we had some girl knocking on our doors asking for a Taylor, which made me wonder if that's the same Taylor the police was searching for.

                                I don't know what was up with that, it was unexpected, and I hated it.
