Sorry Jeff, I knew your name, but at the time I was sending all the emails and PMs and it was just a misprint that I called you Jim. I hate when that happens. I hope you don't take it too seriously. It was the first thing I was doing after getting up and I had a lot of emails to send as well as PMs. :(

BTW, thank you for the information. I just had gone to the list and it seemed the same, but I understand now that you have just left everything the way it was except for the change in position of people below the individual who dropped out.

Funny, I just looked at the list again and I guess I didn't hit the save button the last time I edited it. The (withdrew from list) is still there and people's names were not moved up. I know I did it but apparently I didn't save it properly. I am editing the final list now. Since the box has been mailed I will go ahead and close the list.

I'll head down to the PO first thing in the morning and see what the hold up is, I am terribly sorry for this delay. They've had it in their possession for almost 12 whole hours now, what do you think the hold up might be? Last time I use USPS!

Lol guys they probably just haven't updated tracking yet. Also bear in mind with the easter holiday and good Friday and all that they may run slow or not at all on parts of the weekend.

Also bear in mind Christmas is coming so you know how busy they get. Shipping this massive package during the busiest holiday of the year was nuts. I cant believe we didnt think of that. SMH

Did you check your mailbox yet, just got back from the PO and they assured me it left last night. Can't imagine what's taking so long!

I have a pal who maintains the quantum mail sort machine at USPS. Turns out, one of the new techs peeked inside the machine, and that instant of observation ruined the entire mailflow, so now they are back to sorting by automatic machine instead of quantum parcel entanglement :can:

Doesn't it depend on what your expectations would have been in the observation? This begs the question, what was he expecting? Guy didn't know a darn thing about quantum physics did he?

I know I applied for the job and they just laughed at me :mad:

Joke's on them. I just shipped them a zombie cat in a box. It was dead, but I closed the box and it came back to life. I assume.

Thanks, Jeff. That was what I was talking about when I asked you about the updating of the list. I wasn't intentionally wasting your time. The list didn't seemed updated to me when I went to see it. Sorry for the name mistake. Just chalk it up to a foggy mind. ;)

Wow that's a cool box!:D

I really thought it was pretty cheesy. I just had to make it stand out a little.

So who was observing the laser beam on the box as a wave? I was a little concerned knowig the quantum sorting device was being used. If too many people observed it as a wave the the transition between mass to energy might have damaged the goods inside. Assuming the rest of the box follows suit with the drawn laser beam on the side of it....

I'd assume the delay was due to Wednesday being tax day, so they were probably overloaded.

Forgot to mention how you apply the decals. It's fairly simple. The decal is in 3 layers - white transfer paper on bottom, the colored (or white) vinyl in the middle, and the clear transfer tape on top. The object of the game is to get the vinyl to stick to the transfer tape while you place it where you want it, then remove the transfer tape to reveal the decal.

To do this, rub the top of the decal with a credit card or similar to ensure the vinyl sticks to the transfer tape. Then carefully start peeling up the transfer tape from the backing and the vinyl should stick to it. If not, place it back down and rub it some more.
Now you have the tape+vinyl separated from the backing.

Place the tape+vinyl on the place you want to stick it, with the sticky-side down. Rub it with the card again or just use your fingers. Now slowly and carefully peel back the transfer tape. Because the vinyl has a stronger adhesive than the clear tape, the vinyl decal will stick to your surface and the transfer tape will come right off.

I definitely made that sound a lot more difficult than I needed to. If you didn't understand it, watch this video I made. It uses a different color transfer tape on top so you can see it better:
(Don't worry - I didn't keep the monogram decal from the video on my laptop :p)

If you've got anymore questions let me know :yh:
