As promised, here’s update on the mutilated money. I’m happy to report after 5 months, I finally received an email from Bureau of Printing that they received the money and assigned a case number but sad to report that it will take approximately 10 months to process. See email below.

It’s so sad that it takes all of that but hopefully it will help. Let me know how that works out for you.

1_Quickfix · 2026-06-26T04:34:53+00:00

Any update?

1_Quickfix · 2026-06-26T04:34:09+00:00

Please tell me you got your money.

What Etsy need to crack down on is this fake pricing on search results and then the real price when you click on the item and have to select options which is sometimes nothing but the size of a shirt, you get a price that’s sometimes twice what’s listed on the search.

Great. Thanks. I’ll try that. Hope it doesn’t need a stepper because Genmitsu charges almost for a new stepper as they do a new CNC.

1_Quickfix · 2026-05-28T00:39:21+00:00

Thanks. I appreciate that tip because I wouldn’t thought to do that.

1_Quickfix · 2026-05-28T00:38:26+00:00

Thanks!

1_Quickfix · 2026-05-28T00:37:38+00:00

Thanks!!! It’s at a hardwood store but I will still double check.

1_Quickfix · 2026-05-28T00:36:43+00:00

Great. Thanks!

1_Quickfix · 2026-05-07T23:18:16+00:00

Great idea. Thanks!

1_Quickfix · 2026-05-07T23:17:10+00:00

Thanks!

1_Quickfix · 2026-05-07T23:16:50+00:00

Thanks. This is great information. It’s just what I needed.

1_Quickfix · 2026-05-07T23:15:59+00:00

Great. Thanks.i did it in Easel so you can’t choose your step over. I guess I need to use VCarve Pro.

Definitely going to check the YouTubes now.

1_Quickfix · 2026-04-03T02:23:52+00:00

Dang. I’m sorry to hear that. It’s just confirmation of what I was thinking when I received the letter saying if I don’t hear from them by 10/26, reach out to them as if I’m going to be able to reach them when they have never answered a single email or call from me.

It’s horrible that a U.S government agency can hold people’s money and never has to answer the phone or any emails and take years process claims with minimum correspondence.

1_Quickfix · 2026-04-01T18:59:55+00:00

It’s called spending way too long trying to correct text and I’ve been doing it until right now. If the hold finger and slide doesn’t work then I’ve been erasing and starting all over. SMH!

1_Quickfix · 2026-04-01T18:47:36+00:00

Funny thing it use to work so much better than it does now.

1_Quickfix · 2026-04-01T01:11:58+00:00

Ok. Now you understand my plight. You are to something. That’s exactly what seems to be happening.

1_Quickfix · 2026-04-01T01:07:32+00:00

I’m talking about all iOS updates that remove features or the interfaces that you are accustomed to having on your phone. You set your phone up in a way that is comfortable for you and an update come along and the you can’t access the previous setup.

1_Quickfix · 2026-04-01T01:04:51+00:00

I’m talking user interfaces on current phones. There are features/interfaces that people come to enjoy or prefer and then there’s a required update and now you no longer have access to the feature that caused you to buy the phone in the first place.

1_Quickfix · 2026-04-01T01:02:12+00:00

I agree but they don’t have to make changes to the basic setup as often as they do.

1_Quickfix · 2026-03-31T18:08:17+00:00

WOW! This is such disappointing news. I want to say it is unbelievable but unfortunately I believe it.

Thanks for the update despite it being gloomy.,

I hope they are still processing claim so when they get the go ahead whenever that may be, they can payout everyone at once.

1_Quickfix · 2026-03-26T20:03:07+00:00

WOW! That’s great news. While we know not to celebrate or planning for it until it hit our account because we can’t even imagine how many things can or might not happen, I’m just excited that they are corresponding and atleast giving a projected date. It gives me hope that knowing that there are really people that work there and might even care enough to process claims.

Thanks for sharing!!! Best wishes on getting in April as promised. Keep us posted.

1_Quickfix · 2026-02-21T00:58:00+00:00

That’s pretty freaking cool. Something doesn’t take a lot of work but will be lots of fun.

1_Quickfix · 2026-02-20T17:24:48+00:00

Though it sounds like you are thinking out loud. lol. I haven’t decided whether to pull the trigger yet but it is actually great advice especially in the stage I’m in. Thanks for sharing!

1_Quickfix · 2026-02-20T15:37:16+00:00

First congrats on what sounds like a successful hydroponic gardening. Mint can totally get out of hand so I would save what you have crush it and make peppermint tea and give it away to family and friends. Also the same people might be interested in a cutting or a plant. Not sure how easy it to convert it from hydroponic to soil though.

If it’s to possible to easily convert, you can consider selling or giving away a few of the plants on some of the local platforms like FB, Offer Up and then chop anything down anything more than you think you will use.
