I'm doing fairly good. How are you?

Eh same old lol.
Kinda pissed now, i just rang the store to see where my new tv n stuff is, and ohh 1acqui forgot to tell them. How bloody convenient. After we just cleaned up everything too.

That's sucky. :(

You make it really gosh darn tempting to want to sell my Yan! D:

oh hey, are you questing for spirit of atlantis?

You know you want too :P
Not questing it, but i do need one. Have you got one?

Roachi is so... angelic without the wings or halo. Very lovely, hun.

Haha thanks Liz, i haven't finished yet - i had to run yesterday. :

well, My one thing with the Yan is while I never use it, I am a lil' attached to it. I'd kinda only want to trade it for/towards a '07 V-day item or a Pudao/fan. v.v


mebbe :ninja:

Roachi: - I have been watching your avatar change too. xD It is coming together really nicely! *nods*

I just noticed you were looking to buy the Spirit of Atlantis for 2.5k. I have one I can sell you if you want it. ; ) Let me know and I will send it over. ^_^

@Wingless - Lol alright. Im sure one will pop up :)
@Crunky - Yes please, thanks... Im at work on a sat so sad lol.

I would be taken back by that aswell lol. I hope you guys can work it out.

I'm waiting for my new 55" tv and laptop to be delivered. I hope they come today, will be pissed if they don't!!

Originally, she came to us as a representative of Arts & Expressions (a company that she does work for) and basically gave us the impression that she wanted to start a new line for the company and purchase our cans, but fill them with their products. That wasn't a problem for us - we do that sort of thing all of the time.

She then accidentally emailed us last month from a "Create-A-Grahm" email account, and we started getting suspicious. Then all of the designs she was sending started coming with a Create-A-Grahm logo.
(I honestly can't remember how she spelled Grahm, but you get the effect)
And so we started looking up the website (it's blank), and looking up her other products from the Arts Expressions, and it seems that they give the impression that they're doing all of the work themselves, but really they're not. Other companies are doing it (we found 2 or 3 companies with EXACT examples from this Arts & Expression company) and this woman is taking the credit for us. That was a just a HUGE red flag for us. No way in hell are we doing grunt work, using her nasty designs (they literally looked like a 2 year old did them while messing around on Mommy's computer), making them look the best they can be, and not getting credit for our work and having her make huge profits and get all of the credit. So not happening.

So, we emailed her professionally discussing this, and we have YET to hear back from her, which further proves our suspicions. So, we bought all of the websites with that name so she can't get them and we're now working on trademarking our name so it can't happen again :3
I mean, this woman even wanted to "tour" our place and see how we do things here. She was insistent on it. Kind makes sense why now lol

Haha Hopefully they do!!
What kind of laptop did you get?

Hiya hun - what's up? :)

Roachi: - ok, trade sent! I am heading out and may not be online again till Tuesday so if I don't accept the trade for awhile, that is why. Sorry to hear you have to work on a Saturday! :gonk: I used to have to work them one or two times a month myself but that was another job. We aren't open on Saturdays except the person on call can get emergencies but not the office. I keep forgetting you are ahead of me. It's only Friday evening for me. xD

Not too much here. Just the usual run of the mill stuff. Dealing with the power flickering thanks to a storm coming through. *wishes it would hurry up and pass by*

Haha hopefully it does!
And hopefully the power doesn't go out -- that's never fun :(

@Emma - figures lol. She's been caught out. I wonder what she has to say for herself. How rude, copying someone else's stuff and reaping the benefits - without giving credit. Betch lol.

Ohh nothing too flash, beats the old one though.
Here it is; MSI Global ? Notebook - CR640
It's gonna take some getting use too the sensor pad is very sensitive, and the keys are weird... Lol. And the mouse clicky buttons are quite hard as well.


@Crunky - No probs no rush. Yeah only half a day though, and my hours got cut down during the week so i could work the extra 4 hours today - so it wasn't too bad. Not to mention i have annual leave monday, so i still get 2.5 days rest lol.

Still buying <3
Now what to do with my cookie hoard, that im bored with xDD

Is your baby yan offer still valid, Roachi? ;)

Exactlyyy haha
4-5 days later and she STILL hasn't responded - so Mom refunded her the money for 2 cans she ordered and basically told her we're not doing them lol

Haha That's why I always used a USB mouse :3
Much easier haha

Oooo - that looks very very similar to the HP one my brother had!

It went out twice last night. Once was halfway through cooking dinner. Not fun. >.<
But it's been on since so I think the power company fixed the problem.

Siri: It sure is do you has a yan?? :)

Emma: Ahh well fair enough i say. Yeah that's prob the reason she hasn't responded. I wouldn't have even given her money back, the tramp lol.

Yeh i needa get one of those, and one of those laptop things you can sit on the bed with...

Oops sorry i accidentally pinged ya emz >___<

Yay for fixing the problem!

@Roachi: Haha Well, then she could turn around and be like "I ordered merchandise, paid for it, and never received it." blahblahblah - that would be illegal and dishonest :P
So, we just refunded her the money lol
It's not like we sent her the products or anything :3

Those never worked for me!
I had laptop coolers that were meant for your lap etc - they were pieces of crap lol
It's honestly so much easier (not to mention a saver on money) to have one of those breakfast trays or something - or even just using your lap on it's own - that was the only way I could get the laptop to not overheat LOL
Then again, my cooling vents were always in the oddest places, so that could be why xD;;
Where's yours?

Haha No worries!
It didn't even show up in my PMs!!
Didn't even know you did until I clicked on the thread and saw my name like that xD;

Ahh yeah well there is that ... LOL

Oh yeah i got one of those cooling pads, stupid flimsy plastic crap lol. Oh yeah breakfast tray, didn't think of that hahaha. Um mine are on the left hand side under neath. Why do they put them under neath?? Soo dumb lol.

Oh weird lol.
I gotta stay on here till these auctions end. Stupid new items. Why are they are a have? LOL

Haha Yeahhh - that :P
Kind of a biggie ;P

Hahaha Make sure it has a raised part on the top and bottom of the pad or it's going to over heat :3
Especially with them being underneath :3

I know right??
The laptop I had before this blue one - the Acer? ALL of the cooling fans were on the bottom in the back. I was like "Seriously??"
Let's just say that laptop almost blew up on me on more than one occasion lol

Maybe because you only wrote "Emma" instead of "Emma Corrin"?
Hilarious if you pinged someone else randomly XD;

I know right?
I hate those stupid auctions. They should seriously have a limit as to how many times you can bid - as in, if someone keeps bidding after the 60sec mark, it keeps going back to 140sec or something like that and it's a never ending cycle, the auctions take forever to end, and the items sky rocket because people are trying to win and make the time limit go out before someone bids again.
Seriously hate this whole MP system :/

And the worst part?
The new items?
They're being sold for 15k by users - even by Mods and such - right off the bat - it's either bid in an auction or pay 15k for an item >.>
It's like seriously people???

I know you'd think they woulda got the cooling part of a laptop sussed by now, and especially after all the fires they've caused. Lol

I guess i did coz it came up blue haha. Sorry emma?? xD

Yeah, thats how they work in real auctions though. On our online website trademe anyway. If someone bids at the last 1-2 mins it adds on 2 mins. I just think it's unfair that they've bought so many out at once. I don't think that's fair to people who don't have much gold. Plus there is no other way to get em other then bidding/buying em.
I just auto'bid 10k for those capes last night to ensure i won. But thats coz i could afford it, and i wasn't gonna wait till 2-3am lol.

Exactlyyy - Mine seriously smelled like it was burning at one point xD;
Got rid of that laptop and never bought another Acer :P

Hahaha Funnyyy!

Really?
For here it does that once - but it doesn't do it over and over and over again lol
The first time I can see it, but the rest are just honestly ridiculous lol

I know right?
They need to have some other way of distributing those Auctioneer items because it's seriously unfair to users. Some people try to hoard them so that they can sell them for the higher prices, and it's keeping people who want them from getting them :(
I honestly won't pay 10k+ for the items - I refuse lol
I don't want them that badly :P
I'll just add them to the Quest list and let them sit until they deflate :3
