My grandpa always warned me about OrbX.

Half man, half woman, with a soild white ORB for a head. Those who have actually SEEN him/it are now blind.

Built from years of RAGE and FRUSTRATION, OrbX resides in the deepest bowls of the underworld, manifesting itself in mirrors uncovered after MIDNIGHT. At night on weekends he swoops down from the neverworld and mutilates and harvests the souls of young children in rusty magnesium containers.

Weekdays he works at taco bell. Smilie

laugh out loud At least you have some "beach" Yah, I prefer Orange County's real beaches! laugh out loud Nice you got to lay out. Could probably hide your kindle under those rocks Teehee

Sorry about all that crazy Express stuff. I feel like I dodged a bullet! Guess they must be "upgrading" their warehouse like VS that one time Crazy
Yeah yeah real beaches, lol.
Oh about my Kindle.... I left it in Wisconsin Sadwalk 95% sure I left it in the hotel room. They have basically asked me to stop calling them everyday to check on it. Frown The rental car agency, I can't get a hold of the physical office . It was a DX (the big one). I'd had it for several years but the price has never dropped, there are no refurbs, and they have hardly updated it according to DH... making it frustrating to have to buy another one. I like the e-ink, didn't really want a tablet and DH got it so I could read science articles for school. So. Sad.
Quote from nerdgirl :
i called them and it was relatively easy - they refunded me (my clutches are oos now) and i'm supposed to ship back the 2 missing items. the items are actually tagged with the order # - the number on the larger sticker on the bag that starts with 16 is your order number - so i told the girl that order number and she looked it up and sure enough, it was an order with the tank and undies that i received. laugh out loud

anyway, she was really nice and actually noted my account to give me free overnight shipping on my next order. i have no idea how that would actually be applied, but it was very nice of her to do that. all i really wanted was my refund, bc i had reordered my clutches anyway. hopefully my 2nd order was actually clutches and not some other random items!
woot That is good to hear that it's easy and they are trying negate the inconvenience with the FS offer. Smilie I'll have to check my bags nod

Oh noes!! That's so sad :[ Sadwalk I'm sorry to hear that it's gone. I hope you can get a good deal on it. I know that K promotes Kindle when there are sales, I think? I can't remember, but maybe there might be a sale sometime...or I'm sure you can convince your DH to get you another one nod Sly

what?! noooo! i'm so sorry... Frown

the smaller ones are sooo cheap nowadays (i bought one at target on black friday... it was one of the doorbuster specials that no one cleared out - i guess people don't read around here laugh out loud). i know the dx is really the way to go when you have school stuff to read - i've been contemplating getting one when i'll have lots of pdf'd study materials to read through. i've been waiting for the price to drop on them as well... but i still love the size of the little one! plus it's super convenient to have the free 3g when i'm travelling (when i was in asia i didn't bother asking how much data would cost me a la carte - instead i did my surfing on the kindle. annoyingly slow, but it worked and was free).

i actually have 2 kindles... the 1st one was a small one, 2nd gen, that cost like $370. EEK! the knob button finally broke, so i decided it was time to upgrade - the newer ones are lighter. but i feel bad that dbf spent so much money getting me a kindle that i just went out and replaced.

My hair dryer (Conair) died this morning. I'm browsing Folica for a replacement. Any recommendations?

Also, I sent a big ole' box of returns to VS that was delivered on June 13. Hasn't processed yet. I e-mailed CS once, they told me to give the returns center up to 2 weeks (until June 27) to process the return. No sign of them yet, so I e-mailed once more and was told to give them up to 30 days to process returns. Huh? It usually takes a week to 10 days, and now I've been told two different things. Are anyone else's returns taking a long time, too? (At least I know the package got there safely, but I'm not used to waiting this long.)

Mine normally take 7-14 days from when I send it in. They are pretty fast.

Taryn, I have this [folica.com] dryer I like it. I think many of us actually have it. Just don't forget to use the recycle code and send in for the rebate. It should cost you less than $40.

Sometimes, they have the hair dryer in bundles with other stuff (which is how I got mine). I'm not sure how long you can wait, but they'll probably do a bundle for back to school, which will be pretty cheap. I know that's when I got mine last year. Hope that helps!

hopefully they are re-training the warehouse employees not to charge a shipping label charge on every order. shake head

mine usually take 2 or 3 business days after delivery to get processed. last time, i didn't check when it was delivered, but from sending to processing, it took about 10 days. but that was also when i had the annoying hiccup of having a return label charge on every single order. i had to call in for them to fix it.

also, i have the same dryer as red3. it works well - a LOT better than any conairs i've owned in the past!

Oh, with folica, you can either use the recycle code for $40 off or if you don't want to send in a dryer (or say you did), the code BIRTHDAY gives you a free sedu travel dryer and flat iron. I have both the travel dryer an travel flat iron (which I was stupid enough to buy about a year and a half ago), and I love them both. They really travel well and come in a nice case. It's a code at least worth mentioning.

Also, sephora stacking stopped working. Bad beauty times are upon us all Frown
