Truthfully though, the rhyme at straight face value is a head scratcher. The term "redress" is a synonym for "remedy, correct, set right, resolve", and so on, making the statement similar to "Admitting you have a problem is one half of the solution". Honestly just looking at the word "redress", I see "dress" as in "putting on one's clothes" then "re" as in "do over" and think the same thing of "wait, so who's getting dressed again?". The English language can be downright confusing. A hilarious thought considering I speak it. Haha. Anyway sometimes what works for others does not for me therefore I reword such phrases to where it does. "A fault of thyself confessed is an issue half addressed."

Alpinemaps Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Glad you opened the case. I know it doesn't seem like it's worth it sometimes, but sometimes, it's just enough or someone to look and go, WTF?, make a phone call, and get it going in the right direction again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsuskee Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Just a heads up for anyone else that ordered 60050 Train Station from Amazon earlier in the week when it was on sale for $48 or so. Both of mine came with the seals having been peeled back. They didn't do a very good job either as they had dirt and dog hair under the seal when they tried to put it back on as well as a little tearing around that area of the box. The only thing that seems to be missing from both sets is the 4 pieces of track. Maybe this is just the evil side of me speaking but if I was going to open a box and then return it (which I have never done) I think I would pull more than just track. My first return to Amazon after doing this for 14 months now. I know I should feel lucky that it hasn't happened before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarleyMoose Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Was going to make a WM run this morning but this damn blizzard said nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 That's okay. I went out to WM this morning for you. Had to take off my sweatshirt when I got out of the car - it was already in the mid-70s. They had a ton of Spaceports, all still at RRP.

speedsausage Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 You know you're a lego investor if... For a single set that's TRU, but when you take a bunch of sets apart and mix and MOC all the pieces it becomes more problematic. I mean when kids do that, yeah kids. Thats hilarious that auto correct came up with TRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feed Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Couriers not showing up at all for a rescheduled delivery Stores “losing” web orders and lying that they were ever there Companies shipping part orders but not refunding or even telling me Had them all yesterday, and today I battle with customer services to try to get them fixed.

wsuskee Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 WM's in my area going the Costco route as you leave the store. I know this is to cut down on theft which leads to price increases but I would rather pay the higher price than deal with the line leaving WM's. Some of my stores they stop everyone like in the bigger city stores while the rural ones are just random stops. It also doesn't help that most people don't have any of their items in bags since my county banned plastic bags and charges for paper so most people pass on the bag. At times the line can be 15 to 20 people deep which really sucks when you are picking up something for work and you decide to run through the Lego isle. At the stores where its random I guess I look shady since I get stopped every time when I dont have my kids or wife with me. Bring the 3 year old with me and its a fast pass through the line sort of speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsuskee Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Totally agree as I have walked past a few times and they say hey wait and I say have a wonderful day. I have seen them bring people back into the store which would really set off my temper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're going to implement policies like this, then they need to optimize cash registers so that once you pass through, you can't go back in the store. If you want to leave without passing through the register, then you're subject to more scrutiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would demand security, their manager and police if they insisted on searching my bag of my property that I legally paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
