    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Thomas Burnham aka TobyEking wooden snakes badguy

Ill say this and then Im going to bed.
I have been carving for a few years and this is the FIRST time I have ever had anything like this go wrong. I have sent sticks all across the US and thomas will get his!!!!!!!! If one complaint is all I get over several years I can live with that.
 
You know this has gotten old, He will get his stick period. I have admitted I was in the wrong.And as I just said ONE complaint in several years, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Nope. I figured if you had taken the picture in 2004, it would have taken you
a lot longer than the 4 minutes to reply.

Toby, I think for jerking him around so long by not sending his snakes, you know just where to shove your damn stick. hahaha But seriously, you seem like a waste of effort, big time scum bag. :icon_bs:

Nope I had just taken them a few minutes prior and had to put in new battieries and didnt take the time to set the date etc....Regardless of this ordeal Im not a bad person I have simply made a mistake. It will be corrected. I have a side to the story but I also dont feel this is the place to air it. I should have never replied in the first place but as I stated before I let my temper get the better ofme. Thomas will get his stick and be very happy with it. He got a hell of a deal ORIGINALLY but I did drag it out.

Heh heh heh....

You just have to laugh and be glad the dude wasn't actually designing canes for the elderly. Poor old folks would be laid out everywhere scratching and scooting along the sidewalk with thier fingertips.

The time for story telling is over and no one is interested in hearing your sad story and no one cares two giant farts about your temper!

Make the deal right with the stick or send the damn snakes back.

Can you manage that fella?

ok

first off the snakes i sent did not have mites, and if they did why was it NEVER mentioned to me? they were/are floridana kings a proven trio 1.2, nothing real special but nice,healthy, and no mites. toby loved them or so he said anyway i can find the email if neccesary. the point of this thread is a warning to show what happened to me. toby is talented im a lil speechless seeing the stick as its been 2 years with a whole lot of times saying it was done soon to be shipped,with never a pic. i really really felt like i was/am blown off and felt this post would be my only chance to recoup anything. im glad people like his camera and stick but i am out on this BIGTIME with still nothing to show for my trust except grief :( . think about this... trio value 300.00(toby agreed to this),now factor 2 breeding seasons'06&'07 producing lets just say both 15babies a season so 30 babies market price 20.00e,,,so DOH! exactly how much did this stick cost me? :eek: ,,,,,,,,,,thomas davis

Thomas, just to make sure you fully understand. The comments about the camera wasn't because I liked the pictures. I already new the model of the camera before I asked the question.

Some people just cant appreciate the good old fashioned detective work.

I was just to the point of telling both to take the stick and the camera and shove it up....

well.....lets keep my warning points at zero for at least a week.

Did you figure out that the camera time/date does not reset when the batteries are changed? Or am I wrong? :)

Even if you are correct, His buddy William A, will be along shortly to say that he saw him change the batteries in the flashlight, OOPS, camera. :rofl:

I don't know. It could be it is a new camera and it was set at that date.
The data is as follows.

But, I think it's pretty safe to assume that if he actually took the picture back in 2004 it probably would have taken awhile to remember which camera he used. I think the quick response of four minutes is a good sign that he just took the picture. Of course you can alter and look up the information but he could have simply changed it before he posted in that case. But, then the time stamp would have to be edited out as well.
 
This is sad for you people, you have nothing more to do than take this in this direction? I have admitted that it is a mistake on my part and that it will be corrected. I work 12 hours shifts and cant ship it out today or tomorrow but Im off Friday and it will be shipped.
Now the stick was carved and painted to match a snake that Thomas has this is going on two years which would have been 2005 unless I have pysic abilities I could not have known what his snake looked like in 2004 DUH!!!!. You people should really get a life you have nothing more to do than pick apart someone elses life? You are even questioning the picture that I posted? How crazy is that? It one mistake in several YEARS of doing these carvings.
Also Who are any of you to even know how long these sticks take me to carve. This isnt some crap ordered from overseas. There is ALOT of time involved in them. GET A LIFE.
But as long as you are dogging me someone else is getting a break from you guys.

And maybe you should get a job that pays well enough so it doesnt take two years to fulfill your end of a transaction.

We can play this game all day long if you'd like palo!

Ahhh yah but its one mistake you made that took two years for you to correct AND ONLY because it came here to the BOI.

To just about anyone it would appear you only responded out of fear of losing future sales. One mistake that if you were so concerned with making things right with just this one customer you'd have done a lot more to try and locate the guy then simply posting a notice on your website.

So blow it out your keester for thinking were all a bunch of dummies that don't have a life and need to resort to picking on your shortcomings. I think we are a bunch of nice folks looking out for each other and keeping peter puppers like you with lame excuses for not living up to their end of the bargain in check.
 
Charlie Brown fits you for an avatar cause you are funny. It makes me no difference whether I ever sell another stick or not as I just said its a hobby. So your assumption there is wrong. You are basing everything on one side of the story, doesnt matter what I have to say ( which I have NOT tried to justify what I did) You pick apart everything I say and none of it will be right to you. If this is what it take for you to FEEL like you belong and FEEL like you are a good person then please continue with your name calling and insults.
 
Come on guys you can do better. Here let me help.....
If you dont care whether you make another sell or not why did you make the deal with Thomas to begin with?? ooopps forgot to call myself a name here.

This help you out any?
