Crushed!

Each and every one of them, the Papaya seeds sent to me were completely and totally crushed. All there is in the packet is pulp mush and bits of seed hull. I'm crushed. I want to kill the post office. :evil:

FUCKASSES!


Sorry, had to vent, because on top of that, something is attacking some of my plants and making the leaves lacy. I tried to take pix, but they didn't come out at all, so either something is wrong with the card, the camera, or I suddenly suck a whole lot worse at taking pix than I ever did.

AND, on top of it all, I have to take my son to the Sacto International Airport tonight and I-5 is being worked on. We should get to the airport just fine, but getting home is gonna be tricky, very very tricky.

I'm a born and raised Cali girl!!! In fact we used to have family picnics every year at Elk Grove Park!!! My home stomping ground was Roseville!!! Moved away 4 years ago. I miss many things about Cali.... but then again... there are many things I don't miss!

To Seamaiden.... take digital pictures (of seeds and package) and send them to the vendor... they might take pitty and send you a replacement...hopefully via fed ex. :D

Nope, I'm in the Sierra. I missed your interview! Can you find a link or something maybe?

I can't remember who asked if I'll complain, but I wanted to answer. I make MANY complaints to our local USPS. They nod, they say how it's too bad, and then tell me, essentially, tough shit. I've had bills that were put in the wrong neighbor's box, and they come back, sometimes TWO WEEKS LATE with a note scribbled on the envelope -- WRONG ADDRESS! It doesn't change a God damned thing. My county is called Amateur county, and there's a fucking reason!

Oh, and it gets even more podunk than that. We've got some neighbors who run a couple of businesses. One of them runs a consignment (clothing and furniture) shop. She's pissed because she also wants to run a coffee shop in the same business and the county won't license her. Who the hell wants to drink coffee while they shop for clothes??? Not to mention that it's CONSIGNMENT, so if the clothing is ruined by someone's spilled coffee, she has to buy it. She doesn't realize how lucky she is that it's just a consignment shop. The other neighbor just opened up a new business in the same storefront as well, selling (get this) motorcycles and cabinetry. :| He's called it Wood n Wheels.

I live in fucking Podunkville, I swear to GOD. :rolleyes:

Dang.. we've got HELLA locals here! We're gonna have to do something up at Lake Tahoe or something, Dave and I have a favorite sushi restaurant up there, a place called Sato, and a favorite sushi chef (Shea). Or... maybe something more local... ;)

The "vendor" has taken great pity upon me and is resupplying. He deserves major mad props. 8)

This makes me think of two things:

One, my ex and I were on one of our many road trips (oh for the days when gas didn't cost $5 a gallon!), and somewhere in CA we saw a little general store with a sign out front that said, "Smokes! Sweats! Lotto!" Like, why not buy your clothing where you buy your cigarettes and lottery tickets? Makes perfect sense.

The other is that my ex lived in TX (indeed, several of my exes DO live in Texas), way out in the 'burbs of Dallas, where all the houses look the same and the developments have names like "Cedarwood Gardens" or "Dogwood Terrace" or whatever. Basically it's a lot of upper-middle-class folks and lots of places for them to shop. Tons of strip malls where you can spend your money on totally unnecessary things. One store was called "Billiards and Barstools," and I always thought that was pretty specific. Like, how many times have you thought that you needed to go shopping for both of those things at the same time? Another shop was called "Fetal Fotos." (Not kidding.) I always wondered exactly what went on in there -- ultrasounds framed in some sort of overpriced keepsake frames? There are so many totally ridiculous things to waste your money on in this country, it's unbelievable.

I am in love with Mexico, and for the past 3 years I've gone once a year. It's just completely insane the difference in income levels between our country and theirs, given that they border one another. Everybody there isn't walking around with a Bluetooth thing in their ear, buying their $4 coffee at Starbucks, and going to the mall. Their grocery stores are nothing at all like ours -- you can get the basics and lots of fresh produce, but not 45 different kinds of cereal and other overpackaged processed foods. When I went there last year, Spongebob had just started showing on Mexican TV. I saw Spongebob shaped ice cream and pictures of Spongebob on one brand of cookies. I saw a balloon vendor wtih Spongebob balloons. But that was all the marketing I saw. Kids didn't have backpacks and t-shirts and cereals and action figures and all the other completely ridiculous shit US parents buy, usually because "all the other kids have it." It was really refreshing not to see that degree of marketing of useless crap.

I'm psyched your seeds made it to you intact, I wonder where along the way Hydrotech's got crushed.

Littlebat, my B-I-L is Mexican, un bombero. He goes down to the old country at least once a year for various things, to train los bomberos Mexicanos, to bring clothing to donate to the poor, and to do some sort of charity bike race. Also, my folks and sister and B-I-L have a couple of timeshares in Cabo San Lucas. I've never been, but I think I'd like to try it, especially for the fishing and diving (probably not dive the point or the Pacific side, I hear the currents are treacherous).

So, next county over, there's a little town called West Point (Google Leonard Lake/Charles Ng), and right there in 'town' is an Auto Repare. :lol:

Sonoma's nice, I just got to revisit Santa Rosa (and spread a little secret love at the Hotel La Rose) for the first time since I was a kid. We're in the Sierra, between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite (much closer to Tahoe).

At the moment I am researching leafminer control, those little FUCKS.

I like Twistyman's idea the best, because I've never received a crushed CD case yet, not even from our Amateur County USPS dipshits. That, or the bubblewrap-padded envelop.

But hey, there's always next time! Dave's got family there, and I've pretty much fallen in love with them.
