in this situation, i'd use a priority mail envelope with delivery confirmation. i got delivery confirmation (and its international equivalent) for both dolls i shipped and nej's gift, and i will get it again when i ship out the rest of the gifts. :\

it's pretty cheap and effective; the number on the confirmation ticket allows you to track the shipment online through USPS's site. :\

if you're feeling extra paranoid, they offer insurance and such, but i wouldn't be so stressed about it. :\

What Kari said. I swear by Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation, as it allows me to track it and it arrives very quickly

Priority mail's probably the way to go if you're going to be paranoid about it; that's how my mother sent my insurance card. For my own mailing, I don't really worry that much. I put my faith in the United States Postal Service even when no one else will.

And I keep my typewriter in my trunk beside my tent. For emergencies.

Nanami has been operating at 4.0 GHz for a full day now.

Nichi · January 07, 2012, 08:14:55 PM

hey guys, for anyone unfamiliar with the MBTA, here's a minor map:

(i've rode to the end of the longest green line. took me about an hour and a half from park street, which is basically the epicenter.)

Ah, even more memories of FO 3... traversing the subways... what's left of them anyway.

Nichi · January 08, 2012, 10:10:06 AM

I'm eventually going to get back to FO3, once I have 2k running again in full.

Well, today got off to an interesting start. After getting home from a trip to the store (Needed pepperonis for the pizza we're going to make soon :3), I get a call from my sister the instant I step in the front door; her informing me that she'll be over tomorrow morning to take a shower before work, as the water meter was pulled at her house, and to make matters worse, the money was not going where it was needed (In their agreement with the house's owner, a portion of the money is deducted from what goes toward paying off the place to go to paying the water bill. They where not doing this). So, needless to say she wasn't in a great mood

Then, as I begin to unwind from that mom decided that she absolutely must drag me along to church, so I'm trying to stay home so I can relax before I begin working on 2k, rather than going into a place that brings back terrible memories of my childhood >_<

Thanks for the mail advice guys. I'll send the things priority, it can't be that much more than regular, right?

Why don't you just tell your mom you don't want to go? :/

Nichi · January 08, 2012, 11:45:10 AM

I managed to get out of it, thankfully. I think maybe she took the hint about me not getting dressed to go

Anyway, I'm finally back on 2k-tan the Desktop now. Currently reinstalling everything else, but I at least have all the major stuff installed at the moment :3

Nah, the Metro always pretty much looked like that.

Dilapidated and full of nuclear waste?

Chocofreak13 · January 08, 2012, 02:41:57 PM

the subway isn't THAT bad.

@pentium: couldn't your sister take her landlord to small claims court over that? there's gotta be some legal issue here.
@bella: no, it's not much more expensive. though you have to buy the container. :\

guys, since the SOPA thread closed due to nationalism differences, i'll post this here:
http://www.sopalist.com/
i'm going to boycott as many as i can while writing letters to the companies explaining why i'm no longer going to use their services, like my brother is doing. :\

(plus, since some of the places supporting SOPA are big national chains, like walmart, boycotting them will help local business anyway. :3)
