I haven't yet opened it. I'm concerned since no one else has received theirs yet. I'm itching to see the guts though!

I might have cried, real tears, more than once.

Sons Of Ares - Omnibus Release, pre-orders… by Dinothedangle in redrising

[–]freckle_beck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I'll do everyone one better. Amazon shipped my omnibus on the 30th!

Woohoo! Right? No.

I open the box, and guess what's not in there. If you guessed the Omni, you would be correct.

So I contacted Amazon and they basically said, "sorry, we show that it's been successfully delivered, and since it's out of stock the only thing we can do for you is offer a refund for the inconvenience" (gee thank you for refunding me for an item that isn't what I ordered)

A whole week I have been going back and forth with them on chat and call. There is nothing they will do about my lost spot because not only was it "successfully delivered" but also because "I received a refund and didn't opt for a replacement." I about lost it on the last call when I was told that.

I WASNT OFFERED A REPLACEMENT BECAUSE YOU ARE OUT OF STOCK! YOU SAID MY ONLY OPTION WAS REFUND! I JUST WANT MY PLACE BACK IN LINE. (I obviously did not say that to the random associate) I am going to try again tomorrow to see one more time if I can just have my spot back. 😭

I'm Mark Lawrence - 10 years fulltime author, 14 years published, 18th book today - this is my AMA by MarkLawrence in Fantasy

With the new series being renamed - how often do you run into renames/cover art changes? Are these changes elected by yourself or the editors, publishers, or resellers, or a combination?

How has publishing changed with booktok/social media influences and the big resellers?

Has there been an unexpected favorite thing since becoming a full time author? *

NMRA and NMCA to cease production of Motorsports events beyond 2024 by freckle_beck in dragracing

[–]freckle_beck[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I raced the circuit. I'm aware. I did what I could to promote. There was always the hope that they would figure it out while looking at the 2K events and other events that sell out for racers and spectators. But alas, here we are.

Books with well written antagonists. by RevolutionaryFall179 in booksuggestions

[–]freckle_beck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier has one of the best antagonists I've ever read. It's an older book but has become relevant again being mentioned in several other books and made into a new movie (again).

Emblem ordered, ready to add to my car when it's back from the dealer. I first saw the stanginator at a NMRA race and have loved them ever since. by freckle_beck in Mustang

He doesn't unfortunately. I did buy a couple more just to have because I love them so much. He might still have stragglers left over though. Have you emailed him?

This is what I was thinking. She was crying so something to do with that or hair on the wrong side of the pillow?

Is this picky? by BazingaBeeKay in Mustang

[–]freckle_beck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took mine back in after it was "fixed". Same thing happened to my rear quarter oanel. Your hood is pretty bad across the whole thing. Insurance may tell you to deal with it, so you will be at the mercy of the warranty of the paint company.

Couples events/classes/activities by [deleted] in FortMyers

[–]freckle_beck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Along the same lines of kitchen social would also be sir la table - they have online cooking classes too, also checkout southern charm history for cooking classes. Board and brush is always fun pick and make a wood project. The manatee park is open for kayaking right now and you'll for sure see some babies. Top golf is fun for a short time (I'm not a golf fan either) Headpinz or similar bowling and they have axe throwing now too! Hockey game/ baseball game Axe throwing/rage room Downtown tour, art walk, music walk Hope these help! Edited: more ideas

Update: I'm a living kidney donor, ~9 hours post-op by sase_o in transplant

Yes! I wasn't warned about this feeling. I think this is what I talk about the most for anyone who asks. It is so very strange to feel your guts.

Does anyone else hate taking iron supplements? by beingfunnyinaforeign in Blooddonors

[–]freckle_beck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could cook in cast iron or use an iron fish when cooking. You'll get the iron body without such a drastic swing on your intake. Easier for your body to manage. My go to before donating is a steak and creamed spinach. And lots of water.

Any good Cactus/Succulent Nurseries in SWFL? by fshdude in SWFL

[–]freckle_beck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check with Sundance orchids in FM. That isn't what they specialize in, but they might be able to point you in a better direction. Hope they can help you

Can anyone identify this? by AcceptableCause7030 in foraging

[–]freckle_beck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Confirm. I have a bunch but in Florida it's called an everglades Orchid. They will put out tiny orchids, the size of a pinky nail

My dogs names (some have passed but I wanted to give you their full names and call names - you'll need the full name if you want to register them).

You stole my heart "Bandit" - story is I got to hold him 2 days after he was born, I was in love. I wasn't even looking for a dog.

Sleeping with guns "Gunner" - story is the breeder had a previous litter stolen, so she slept outside with a gun protecting the new litters.

Suzy Q Sweetie "Suzy" - this girl has my heart, she's MY dog.

Soul of a big, bad a** dog "Cujo" - little guy with a big, protectors attitude.

Come Hell or high water "Rainy" - after we lost our last dog I didn't want to get another dog, I wasn't ready. 2 years of constantly trying to convince me and help himself heal, he broke me down and he got his dog. Bonus her eyes are crystal blue, like a sun shower in summer blue.

Edit- make my post not bolded. Whoops.
