Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Also I can argue all day long that I wanted a Female. Hopefully she gets what is coming to her. Theres a special place for people like her.
If I made a mistake unintentionally I would go out of my way to fix it. She KNOWS she did wrong. Clearly she is full of crap.
Im not going to do anything besides send a text. . I have faced my losses already. If he don't sell maybe I can get him a girl soon. Anyone have a specific local in mind? I don't.

Actually Bill, after reading your post over again. Seems like you have done nothing but take up for her and insult me. For what it is worth I take offense to that. "I should make better choices"????
If anyone here is from SoCal. I would think twice about buying from Julia. She has a retic for sale. It might be a python? Who knows.
Here is exactly what my wife said about the only conversation they had since we got the snake. Why am I the one having to explain myself here anyways?
Yeah no kidding! Idk what she's gonna do? I told her about the pattern on the snake didn't match the pic and she's like well that's not possible.. The patterns don't change, and I'm like I know.. This snake has bow ties and the one in the pic has the widows peaks. I said maybe you put the wrong pic up by mistake Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Well do what you have to do. Theres no way that this is an old pic of that snake. And its not even a female. So she should refund just for that.

Omg she just called me back! She's actually claiming that its the same snake from the picture but that the picture is old! And she said well there's nothing she can do about it. Maybe the guy at the pet shop was wrong, but thats what my vet said it was. And I said well maybe we can meet somewhere like ur vet and get this cleared up and she said well not right now I'm sick and I said well in a couple of days. And she said shed talk to her husband and give me a call back Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

I agree with this. Your wife could have simply refused the deal. And it was only $100.
It was inspected 'in person' prior to purchase.

I don't really care what you take offense to. I'm not sticking up for her and nor was I trying to insult you. But if you want to be that way then fine.
You actually had to read my post twice? So what are you like..the slowest sailor on your ship or something? My name is Chuck, not Bill.
You directed your wife to make the purchase - Bad Choice.
Your wife looked at the snake and could have walked away - Bad Choice.
So yes...you should learn from this and make better choices down the road. Or you can jump off your vessel and swim to Hawaii and text her like a lunatic and give her a piece of your mind. I don't really care.
Quite honestly if it were me I'd be more concerned and concentrated about doing my job and defending my country and coming home to my family in one piece. I think the last thing your buddy wants to know when he's laying in a pool of his own blood is that it may not have happened if you weren't so bent and so preoccupied in thoughts of vengeance over some CL skank.
Suck it up soldier and stand tall.

I don't think that justifies lying that a photo is an "older pic" of said snake when it was never a photo of the snake. If the seller was honest she should have said her camera is broken and the photo is "representative" of the snake in the add, just like they did for the vac.
I agree that death threats even "joking" are out of line.
To the OP - sorry you didn't get what you wanted, but lay off your wife a little eh? XP I don't blame my SO if they mess some snake stuff up when trying to do me a favor!
All that aside, thank you for serving!!!

why doesn't someone just contact her about the retic and ask for an address? Or heck... I'll email her and tell her that I am in the military at fort hood and need it shipped, so if she could give me a name and address I'll send a cashiers check >.>.... I go do that

Takes quite a gerry-mander to connect that dots such that the seller is not a lying POS. But I will not insult your intelligence and pretend that you meant what you really said.

Sure CHUCK, a 7 month deployment is not enough for you. I should spend every minute on my 7 month tour working?
If you would have read the post twice you would have caught where I said that the woman told my wife it was the same snake in the pic? But not all of us are as smart as you are here?
How can you question how I do my job anyways? You have no clue about how many hours we work. Then on top of that How many hours I stand a week standing watch. I probably <-(probably I said because I don't know) stand more hours of watch a week than you even work. On top of that we run countless numbers of drills. When the CIWS breaks, we don't stop working till it is fixed. I am homeward bound now. I have 13 days until I get to go home and see my wife for the first time in 7 months. I get to chose what I want to eat. Next time you go fill you car up with gas, instead of complaining about the prices, just be glad you have fuel because 24/7 theres a navy ship out in the persian gulf protecting the oil rigs. I know I am not in the Marines or Army out there fighting on land, I have lots of respect for them and can't wait to go IA to join them, but i do make sacrifices for people like you who don't appreciate them. Don't forget to thank a veteran today Chuck.

Thanks Ashley. I didn't know you were on here. Don't go off and do that. We don't want to harass a good honest hard working person out there or anything!
