  1. @CGC Mike is this where they have gone now? Quality Control is no longer fixing this issue that is definitely the fault of a product they have decided to use for it's "clarity " and in spite of raising prices they now also do not standing behind the product they sell? This is asking for back charges and stop payment on failure to provide the services paid for.
  2. I appreciate you sharing that one. Will have to read that one. it's amazing how much some of the simplest things today required so much back then, and how much times have changed. I am lucky if the postal carrier even actually leaves my packages anymore. Half the time they will stack them up for a few days before they deliver them. Which would be a LOT more understandable if they were having to walk along the beach.
  3. Almost all of those same rules apply here. In addition to Jelly Fish we also have Portuguese Man O Wars. We also have a few bears and in south Florida we have the Florida Panthers. Also known as the Costa Rican Puma, The Florida Puma, or the Florida Cougar. (Not to be confused with the more common Florida Cougars found around here. ) Although the Panther encounters are rare as they are listed as endangered and they estimate only about 200-300 or so are left in the wild. The rest are probably in some crazy Miami dope dealers compound. We also have a lot of snakes as spiders as well that can do anything from make you sick to cause death, but as you mentioned this is usually less common depending on the common sense of the person. Still many people end up struck by Water Moccasins (Cottonmouth) [some of the most aggressive], Rattlesnakes(a BUNCH of varieties) , Copperheads, Coral , Eastern Brown snakes, or bit by black widow, brown recluse, or brown widows. Sharks as you mentioned most of the time aren't too bad . We have a bunch, but stay on land = not a problem. Still every year several people are bit. Although more people drown from rip tides and die from falling limbs. But it definitely is the humidity and bugs that do most in here.
  4. I do tan. I am white, but during the day I turn reddish purple. During the night that heat radiates and my skin tone settles to a dark bronze. (Not quite as dark as ol spray tan , but pretty close. )
  5. Yep. I definitely do not envy the amount of sun you guys get . Same goes for out west here in the states . You guys can have it. We get plenty and like you over there we have plenty of animals that will get you as quick at the sun. (Florida man included. ) I live in the upper panhandle of Florida. My back yard is on the North side of Yellow River. The South side of the river is Eglin Air Force Base and a HUGE natural preserve where ALOT of the US Military come to spend their Hell Week for training. I grew up on these trails and woods. It's crazy to see how many get taken out in ambulances due to heat exhaustion and animal encounters.
  6. Only joking of course as I live in a part of the south , but still Florida. Here they speak a whole variety of Jibber Jabber. I can usually discern the meaning.
  7. To be honest every time I have had books listed with MCS and price them fairly they either sell within the first week or the rest do the following week if I do the 5%+ discount bump. Only a couple of times have I had to do a second reduction. (Which usually results in a bump on their ebay listings)
