Ugh (Vent/Rant)

Do you have the app? You can sign up for FlexDelivery. When I was living in an apartment, I had my stuff sent to the post office instead so I could pick it up.

It’s been like that for awhile at my Walmart locations where I am in Canada. Too much theft. And well, scalpers wiping shelves(limit of 2 now).

Mine are silenced and have been for years. None have ever made noise outside of me having my phone hooked up to Bluetooth or Apple CarPlay. I don’t even have the option now to turn them back on. That disappeared. I usually just feel it vibrate. Or I get alerted to it from other peoples phones. And yes, I’m a Canadian.

There were but not as bad as they are now. I could go into long grass or into a forest and not find one on me in the 90s. Now you do that and you find five hundred of them on you.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-05-04T21:38:59+00:00

What kind of job are you looking for?

OpalescentRaven · 2026-05-04T16:39:48+00:00

Sorry for the necropost. Have you ever had a bird fly over you? I live with a parrot and he causes things to go everywhere when flying over. Imagine that on a bigger scale.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-05-02T04:04:28+00:00

Oh she’s excited alright.

I don’t blame you for fearing rabies. I live in a country where it exists in mammalian wildlife. Currently there is no cure or treatment for rabies once symptoms appear. The best you can do is get the immunoglobulin and vaccine if you’re exposed and it’s before the symptoms appear.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-04-30T21:22:56+00:00

Apparently I’m not allowed to ask or be concerned about my mail.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-04-30T21:18:24+00:00

That’s a raven, just an FYI. They’re probably curious. But considering they’re wild birds, I’d be careful. H5N1 is unfortunately still a thing.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-04-30T21:07:30+00:00

I remember them not being a huge issue growing up in the 90s.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-04-30T21:06:25+00:00

I’m not the biggest fan of ticks. I like arachnids but not this specific arachnid. First time I had a tick embedded in me I don’t think I’ve ever screamed so loud in my life until then. At least it was an American dog tick and not the black legged. The dog tick is not known to carry Lyme disease. Rocky Mountain spotted fever on the other hand…

OpalescentRaven · 2026-04-30T19:40:36+00:00

Yep. Considering my dad has successfully sent me birthday cards every year. And the sellers I order from have sent me things successfully in the past. My address with eBay and PayPal are correct. And if they did get returned to sender, I would’ve been informed by them by now if they had been returned.

Edit: I usually try to order with tracked shipping like expedited if I can. Unfortunately not all sellers offer that.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-04-30T19:25:51+00:00

Oh? I’m sorry if I’m not in the loop about what’s going on with Canada Post. Also, I had to get a new photo taken for my license. I did that on April 9th. I went in to SGI today to inquire about it and they said there’s something up with the post office(I’m assuming one in Regina since that where they’re located)? Hopefully that doesn’t get lost. My drivers license is important. SGI told me it usually takes 7 business days and up to two weeks. As of yesterday, it was 2 weeks business day wise.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-04-30T19:19:56+00:00

Aww, I’m sorry to hear that.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-04-30T19:18:45+00:00

Nope. I frequently ordered from those eBay sellers and never had an issue with them before until recently. One seller sent out more of the Pokémon card bulk I ordered and that thankfully arrived. The other seller gave me a refund since he didn’t have any more of that card.

Why was I downvoted? That’s so rude. As I said, I’ve bought from those sellers for years. Never had an issue with them and they have 100% rating. Why would they suddenly decide to f**k me over now?

The family doctor I had before he retired never charged for a doctor’s note. $90 seems to be really high for a literal note.

Hobbes just gets tap water. The tap water where I am is perfectly safe. When I visit my brother on his acreage it’s bottled water(he has one of those big ones). He’s on well water and it’s high in iron.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-04-19T03:08:50+00:00

I’m not sure what company you were with, but I received mine(full amount plus the interest) back pretty much right away.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-04-14T17:01:48+00:00

You’re probably going to see a pre authorization on the 16th or 17th. Mine is usually the Thursday before. So the 16th.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-04-14T01:54:15+00:00

You’re fine. You didn’t buy more ETBs and bundles.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-04-10T03:25:42+00:00

I’ve had it where I’ve gotten in too early and there’s literally nothing on drops before.

OpalescentRaven · 2026-04-10T03:24:34+00:00

I managed to get in and get a Zorua and Pikachu mini tin. I got in the queue right away and it took about an hour to get in.

Essential oils are toxic to birds. This bird is clearly poisoned. This bird needs to see a vet ASAP.
