Cordially,

Masked

I thought it was witty when I wrote it, but now it doesn't look very nice. My wife would have been embarrased. I am sorry.

the CORRECT phrase is.... ARE sub-standard teachers....

So what does THAT tell you??

People in glass houses??....

:beer: Good catch!
But for the record...I'm a product of public schooling not an educator.
Pete
 
I'm a product of Catholic schools, so I have to correct this...

Sorry, Neil, it was correct the first time...

ONE (of the main problems) IS, not ONE (of the main problems) ARE.

The tense is relative to the noun, not the prepositional phrase...

Sorry for being petty, but Sr. Joan would strangle me if I let that one slide....

Ooops I meant "Thanks"...darn I felt sooo good about my grammar too!
Pete
 
LOL Terese, I, too am a product of Catholic schools.
Wonder if it is the old Catholic guilt kicking in when I feel I must forgive and forget??




Anyway, I am happy you are satisfied with the product. Strange that was the flaw in the transaction with me and Upstate(or is that Upstate and I? too old to remember and do not really care lol) as well, UPS. Seems since they have moved they have had nothing but problems with them. Hoping all the rest come in fine.
 
Well, there I go again.... open mouth, insert foot!!

I thought because the word problem was plural, the word should have been "are".... I WAS DEAD WRONG!!

Pete... My sincere apologies!!

Keep my mouth shut and let people THINK I'm an idiot, or open it up and leave them NO DOUBT!!.... lol

One of these days, I'm going to be a GREAT WIT!!.... I'm Half-way there!!
 
Vinny,

Have you come up with a "Plan B" to get you through your opening?

Neil,

I'm sorry for being a grammar slob. I can't help myself. I'm looking for a 12-step program....
 
Plan B

Hello. Our plan B is a small 10 compartment baby holder that I got from Doug Barrs (real good guy).. It will hold the babies for a time, it's just very small (2' x1' x1') but it works. The other unit should be here this afternoon. I still haven't tracked it.

Had a stingray go "death curl" the day I got them and we have had to clean and disenfectall of the tanks. I need to find out what happened. Other than that, it's going very smooth. The sign guy came with our logo. I will post a pick this afternoon. I also have a shipment of Red-Eyes, fire millipedes and some Ts in this afternoon that have no housing. The good thing is that our local pet smart sells a vey nice and very cheap 2.5 gallon aquarium that will do.
 
IT ARRIVED TODAY!

Finally. The unit arrived today. UPS bumped it a little but no damage. I took it in and opened up everything. All was labeled as to what peice, orientation in the whole and helpful hints to help put it together faster. It only took about 1.5 hours. .5 of that was trying to open the boxes. They were taped up pretty good.

In shipping, some things were jostled and in need of tightening, but otherwise just as advertised. The plexiglass fit, which has been rare in my experience, and actually looks good. The light fixtures he sent are very neat. Small round units that have a cool plug. The plug is separate and each prong has a spike on the end. You place the cord over it and slid a conector on which forces the spike through the insulation and connects to the wire. I have never seen them and really liked their ease. I will post pics on Sunday afetr I wire and caulk it all. Good Job Sal. I give Sal a thumbs up and a "Good Guy" rating. Infact, this unit is big enough and sturdy enough that I won't be needing the other unit. I will just get my money from UPS.
 
This is sad

Two days after the completion of a transaction, that everyone watched with all hope it would fall apart so the bones of Upstate could be picked clean, only two people have commented on it.

I can understand that the world is not going to give Upstate a "good guy" label but 'ms_terese' had a great idea on a thread with Neil. We should at least acknowledge that they had good transaction. And all who cast the doubt through 19 pages should at least say that all the negitive garbage was misplaced and Upstate did ok.

So Vinny glad it turned out. And to Sal and Alison good job. Keep it up!!!

Who did this? I think that just about everyone who warned Vinny about Upstate's prior record wished him well and said that they hoped everything turned out ok for him.
I'll congratulate Upstate on finally making a customer happy but I'd still never send them my hard money. Mistakes happen but the way they've handled some of their past mistakes tells me all I need to know about them. Sorry, but one good transaction after their prior history hardly deserves accolades from the masses IMO.

I'll also stick to my opinion that melamine is a horrible cage material. I don't quite understand why anyone would choose to buy a cage that costs a fortune to ship just to have to assemble and seal it themselves. Why not just build it yourself at that point?
......but Vinny is happy and that's all that matters.
 
UMMMM Chris, ummmmm, excuse me, more than one customer, you can add me to the list.
Cool, maybe they can keep this tidal wave of support rolling.

and maybe Tim Bowles will sell a healthy Emerald Tree Boa so he can be a good guy again too.

Like I said, I'm glad Vinny is happy.
 
I agree Chris

I as well told Vinnie that i hope all went well , i also told him this more then once . I spoke with Vinnie several times Via Email , I still would have to say that while yes that Vinnie and Rozyann may have got a product snake/cage from them i still would not constitute that as being a fair enough reason to send them money for a snake or cage. I look at the reptile trade kindalike used car salesman and "shadytree garages"
Now while yes both of those can be a good buisness to deal with if you were to know of several people that bought a used car from Joes used cars , Joe says oh yeah this motor is in top shape you will get a easy 100,000 mile out of it ... and as you pull out of the lot and get a block away it blows up . Now joes says sorry i cant help you would you buy a car from Joe? now say a year later Joe is still in buisness and he has a car you want .. would you still buy that car from him knowing his track record ?

Same with a backyard garage ... if you took you car to have fixed .. they said it will be done in a week .. well a month passes and they avoid your calls and keep telling you it will be done , then tell you its ready you get there to find out its still on the rack and in peices .... you finally get your car back because they didnt do anything to it ... would you go back?
It may very well be that Sal & Allison may never have another bad transaction and honestly i hope that would be the case . but i still wouldnt send them my cash for a product from there past handling of deals and non delivery of goods they promised , even said was shipped out and never arrived then to tell you they have picked it up a week later at the place where it was shipped out from ?
i still am a firm beliver in my signature
"Buisnesses come and go everyday , what keeps you here tommorow , is how you treated your customer the day before "

its a proven fact that while you can have 100 happy deals made they dont get the notice as one single bad one does . and when that bad deal goes avoided or lied to or just ignored it cancels out all 100 good deals in the eyes of most due to the fact the consumer will look at it well maybe i will be the NEXT bad deal that goes on and on with thesame circumstances as there last bad deal.. so while yes i am happy for vinnie forthe deal going well. that is far as it goes for me . I still would not put trust in a company that doesnt make EVERY customer happy or atleast make every effort to make them happy , while i know not EVERY customer can be happy at every given deal. but what shows you tried is the quick responses to there needs , address there concerns and show them that you care that you are tryingto resolve there problem . then ifafter that you cant make them happy i would say no one can hold that against you .
 
Good Guy Thread

AS sad is it is, I have to place myself it that "for shame" category. I was nervous expecially after some misunderstandings and UPS' screwup. o way to go SAL and ALLSION.
