Not lego related, but stumbled upon this and had to share. Enjoy✌️

someone on sellercentral posted a funny customer email they got:

LEGO Flower Bouquet 10280 $47.49 at amazon. Limit 20 https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Bouquet-Building-Creative-Project/dp/B08HW1L75J/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=lego+10280&qid=1621019249&sr=8-2 Alive for more than 2 hours now.

My response has been that I am now going to be even more vigilant in keeping 6ft distance and double-masking. The stupidest communication ever by the CDC. SMH.

First images released.

I'm starting to think some people on this thread are size 4XL

Something tells me Eric found out...

I just know around here, my family and friends are the few who will still be cautious. We're only protecting ourselves at this point, instead of others.

I want to do these:

Am i alone in saying that I sometimes prefer the anonymity that the mask provides? Buying tons of legos as an adult is one of those times

I'm not a big fan of Endgame either, Infinity War was far superior.

Thanks. $60 back for a Hogwarts Castle will be sweet. $10, not so much.

Let's keep the discussion civil. I prefer not to clean up **** on Fridays

conditioned...? to consider the other people around you when you make decisions? This is one of the most dumbfounding assertions to me... that it is zero sum, that if you understand that a significant amount of people have a somewhat reasonable fear, acting to show that you have considered them when you are walking through the world means that you are a sheeple.

Have you considered triple masking? If only we had stars on our bellies to tell each other apart.

My wife and I are fully vaxxed. Kids got their first shots yesterday as well. By dropping the incentive to get vaccinated and take precautions before you are, the CDC effectively creates a pool of people in whom the virus can go rampant, create more lethal/viral/aggressive mutations etc., with no safeguards in place to prevent the spread. Which will come back to bite all of us when the vaccine's firewalls get breached. The best method to prevent this spread is to have those who could harbor it wear masks and stay 6ft away. Since the CDC now allows these people to not wear a mask, the best I can do to protect myself and my family is to keep wearing my masks (I always double-mask) and keep distance. I know my mask wearing is only part effective (the way to stop the spread is to have the infected wear masks) but it is better than nothing.

@BrickLegacy= eric

Most of the data currently says that if you test positive while being fully vaccinated your chances of developing severe symptoms are low and likewise your ability to transmit is also low. Again, this is just the data they have on hand that is only about 100+ days old so it’s very possible things could change. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

😂😂😂. I didn’t know preorder were up

To be more clear. You will receive the percentage back originally quoted to you but not until the item ships -- even if/when it changes later.

I did like the haircut joke tho

I need to really organize my tools better...seeing that shames me

Yes I know, which is why I used the phrase "less likely." I never implied an absolute. You did. Here is your quote where you speak in absolutes. I'm not trying to be combative but you are just speculating. I'm attempting to explain what conventional virology would predict as a likely outcome. Not to beat a dead horse. But it would be considered Covid 21.

When it ships as that's when an order is considered completed.

So why do LEGO put the recommended age on the box only to ignore it on their ad materials? The box says 14+, but this kid does not look 14:

I think it's become more of a courtesy issue Hard to wantonly walk into an enclosed public place w/ no mask...seems rude to me

So much to unpack here but I fell off my rocker when he says 'once she get that good good from me' I will definitely be using that on the wifey later Yes people are very strange indeed. From my perspective (medical biology background) @Phil Bis taking the necessary precautions to protect his clan. Its unfortunate he HAS to do this, but like you said, people are strange. As we are all seeing this play out in front of our eyes, the vaccine is no guarantee. Choosing to not get a vaccine or not wear a mask just makes zero sense to me. Someone said it earlier, what a crazy hill to die on. I get it, we all would like to move on with our lives. The people who choose to act recklessly, are only making this last longer for the rest of us.

He's got you fam...

I felt the CDC's announcement yesterday was premature. In any case, we'll still be wearing masks wherever we go like we've always been unless we know for sure the people we are hanging out with are vaccinated. We've come this far, and I'm not taking any unnecessary chances yet. My 13yo daughter is going to get her first shot on Sunday, and we're hoping our 8yo son can be eligible to get his soon.

Since there is no way people can be forced to disclose their vaccination status, anyone can take off their mask. The intent of the CDC statements are good (create an incentive for people to get vaccinated) in practice it doesn't work.

Did you get your vax? If so then why would you consider going even more extreme? People are strange.

oh yeah - they are mean with that shipping bite but time to time they have some store exclusives like hedwig and imp tie fighter helmet to get the order over the free threshold and they do not charge sales tax if you live outside NY. also they are top notch in terms of shipping stuff without getting damaged ( at least for me though i live in the next state).

Might be the cheapest set to acquire that windshield piece. The minifigure detailing is really good.

Are you sure you want to go back to this guy? Altho it's typically more expensive like 1.5-2x, it may or may not be more expensive to go to a specialist if the dentist is over-charging. About half of all malpractice suits are root canal related...that kinda tells you how often they have issues. The reason is that it's hard to get all of the root out. The actual act is to use a file and basically fish out the root. Thinking cleaning out a clogged drain using a pipe cleaner. My root actually made a U-shape and the Endo specialist said it was the first time he saw that. The benefit of a specialist; other than obviously knowing their shiz really well...they do like 2-4 everyday whereas a general practitioner does maybe 1-2 a month...specialist have up-to-date specialized equipment such as a microscope (the standard now among endodontist); a general dentist would never invest in such a specialized machine. It enables them to see the canal much better (obviously).

Finally sold my $7 AMC stocks for $14. Next round of tap water is on me...

Everyone knows that Ryan started the fire

roses still available (limit 1 and they will cancel) at legoland new york - https://shop-newyork.legoland.com/products/lego®-roses-40460 tulips is sold out but pops up from time to time.

Tie their fingers together, so they can't snap them.

I will certainly be getting it.

My grandson's class is too cute! Pre-K 3--His class is the winner of the SPS Lego Contest for the "mystery lot" in the sweepstakes! Their class and 5th grade! (hmmmmm, I wonder who's kid is in fifth grade???)

I think thats a great idea. But remeber, bricklink is now owned by TLG. Any website/software/digital upgrades will have to be approved by their IT department.

Caught me! However, none of this new aged fandangle pens, vapes or carts. You can call me old fashioned, I prefer my green in flower form

My first root canal was on a "hot tooth" that wouldn't go numb because the pain was so severe. They tried novocaine twice and also a shot of marcaine, nothing worked (this was Navy dental so they weren't about to give me any kind of gas). Eventually a male assistant stood above my head and put me in a headlock to hold me steady while the dentist drilled in without it being numb. Worst pain I have ever felt, and I have been unfortunate enough to pass 4 kidney stones. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk
