    So how is everyone enjoying their summer so far?

    My pool is green, having one heck of a time trying to clear that up.

    Lowes is supposed to be building me a deck... but I'm getting the run around.

    Contractor: Where's the supplies, didn't Lowes deliver them?
    Me: Nope, haven't heard anything..
    Lowes: The contractor is supposed to buy and bring the supplies.
    Contractor: That's news to me...

    Central Air seems to be on the fritz...

    So... in conclusion... summer is going great so far... *smirk* *snicker*

    That's not surprising, but it's frustrating that a lot of companies can't seem to communicate well and end up giving customers the run-around..

    i'm pretty sure the contractor buys and brings the stuff.

    anyways, had a garage door done a year ago. guy didn't have the right parts. says its on his paperwork. also he installed a dented panel.

    so i say, you dont have the locking mechanism we asked for, and the panel is dented.

    he goes "where's my money?" i said, well, you didnt do your job correctly and you didnt install what i paid for.

    "that's what they put in my truck" so i say "arent you supposed to atleast check you have what you are supposed to have?"

    he says "we're going to put a lean on your house if you dont pay"

    so i say, take a hike and i'm calling the company.

    company had to special order the dented panel and they fixed everything and had to come back 3 days later to fix the door because it wouldnt shut all the way.

    people that have contractor jobs are normally fuck ups in life and prefer that line of work because they can fuckup and then go on to the next thing.

    they would be fired if they were in a company and had to do the same thing every day and be accountable for what they did. in this line of work there are factors that keep them employed for a while. the company needs them real bad, or they can blame shit on other people.

    Been raining every day which sucks. Also extremely hot... like 90-94 everyday heat index 105 and humid.

    Florida is supposed to be the sunshine state but this time of year, not much to do but sit around waiting.

    I'm in part of the country that tends to get a lot of rain through the year (NW Oregon), but it doesn't feel nearly as humid as parts of the midwest I've been to. I've visited Missouri and Texas, and in the summer it can get very humid there. I had one of my cameras with me for one of the trips, and the lens would fog up when I went outside, which doesn't happen in Oregon. After a few minutes, the camera would acclimate and would be okay.

    We tend to get fairly dry in the summer though, since it doesn't rain as often in the summer.

    I'm a little further north (SW BC) and it has been oddly humid and cool for July. Normally it is hot and dry by now.

    We've had some rather cool days here recently too, and a few lightning/thunder storms with some heavy rain. It hasn't been as hot here as it usually is this time of year.

    My part of the country has actually been a bit cool for this time of year. I do feel bad for the people in the areas with heat waves though. I don't like hot weather much myself. :/

    I think it's fairly well accepted that global warming is a real thing. The issue is whether it's man-made or natural. They say the earth has naturally gone through cycles of cold and hot weather throughout its history.

    well they say global warming and then global cooling. we dont have much weather data if you think about it. scientists are wrong about a lot of things.

    we dont really have much evidence because we only started making records of weather conditions fairly recently in comparison to how long the earth has been here and we have been here.

    we really know nothing.
    and when we think we know something by digging [btw, cant dig far either] or whatever, it gets proven wrong.

    You replied to me but quoted someone else..

    he quoted your message and replied to you... he didn't reply to your text, though ;)

    use the '*' character when reading on a synchronet system and you can see the thread tree...

    i've fixed the quotes above to look how they would be if today's quoting in FTNs were to be used... yes, i know this is not a FTN ;)

    That's kinda what I was saying. He quoted part of my message, but the part he quoted was not written by me. I've seen this happening a lot more lately, people replying to a message and quoting someone else's text in that message, so the reply is not directed toward the person who wrote the text that was quoted.

    yeah i dont know why they are doing it and i dont really see them giving an answer saying why. i'm not sure if their msg editor is messed up or what.

    if they want to comment on something and not be specific about who they reply to they can always change the TO: to ALL

    that's pretty normal from what i've seen... i see a lot of it in newsgroups, too... the main difference is they don't have a To: field in them unless you're using a FTN news server like JAMNNTPd...

    in FTNs we also have what is known as "comment reply" in addition to the normal "reply"... that's where i can hit a key to reply to a message you wrote and the message is addressed to the person you wrote your's to... in other words, my reply is a comment to your reply and they're both addressed to the another person...

    Well here, the order is SUBJ, TO, FROM
    in say outlook, it is FROM, TO , SUBJ

    So if you're not paying attention and used to a particular client's order of these, you may confuse who sent it with who they sent it to.

    Sounds lame but I really think that might be my issue and I'm so lazy I just hit reply because I want to reply to the whole thing (probably should change TO to ALL in that case as suggested).

    This is probably a result of the interwebz taking over and everyone "commenting" on stuff like FB.

    Feel free to call me a d-bag, just pls put up with my stupidity kindly :)
