@PlacidPenguin

I wonder what this says about me.

That you go quack quack and don’t want anyone to know?

@PlacidPenguin hmm didn’t realize the line through it wouldn’t cooperate with copy with the > function. Hey @shawn there’s a glitch in this here piece of forum foolishness formatting…

@Kidsandliz @shawn

Sure it works.

I wonder what this says about me.

@PlacidPenguin @shawn How’d you do that?

I wonder what this says about me.

I just did it again. Broken. Put “>” then copied and pasted what I wanted to show up. You cheated somehow. What did you do to make it work?

@Kidsandliz @shawn

To strike through text, put two of these on either end of the letter/word/sentence/paragraph: ~.

---

Hooray for tildes!!!

@PlacidPenguin @shawn Oh. Thanks. But it should work as a copy/paste too of when the original had already done it and it doesn’t. Thus BROKEN.

@Kidsandliz @shawn

You could say the same thing about text size manipulation.

But you don’t have to.

@PlacidPenguin I don’t even know how to do that (text manipulation). What is that trick?

@Kidsandliz

Use the pound sign ().

You could use 1-5, with one being the largest text size, and each additional pound sign reducing the size.

Though I fear we’re going off topic.

@Kidsandliz @PlacidPenguin

do what?

like this?

@PlacidPenguin @therealjrn umm yeah…

@Kidsandliz @PlacidPenguin What is this “topic” of which you speak? This is a remarkably linear and coherent discussion. All those I post go wildly off the rails, and wind up somewhere northwest of next week.

@Kidsandliz @OldCatLady @PlacidPenguin

@Kidsandliz

Correction. You could use 1-6.

@wmbarr Isn’t that just prostitution?

@ShotgunX @wmbarr Only if it includes a happy ending.

@ShotgunX @wmbarr I’m pretty sure there is little genuine affection and no gratitude, other than for being paid, involved in prostitution.

@Kidsandliz

I have a green hubman…

@PlacidPenguin I thought you didn’t since we had corresponded before… I’ll take it presuming postage will be cheap and what you want for it is cheap.

@Kidsandliz

I have one available.

Though I’d need to figure out the best way to ship it to you.

---

Edit: Flat rate padded envelope would probably be cheapest, though I would need to wait for more envelopes to be delivered to me.

@PlacidPenguin Well I do have until shortly before christmas… hope that is enough months.

@Kidsandliz I have one green hubman if you want him.

@Kidsandliz I meant one new in the package. (I have others in various states strewn across the house somewhere.)

@tnhillbillygal Thanks, whisper what you want for it - money for postage, stuff on my trade list further down this thread…

Anyone get a Rolls Royce in their Fuku. I got a Ferrari in mine and it’s really cramping my style. Will trade for a Rolls or a Bentley.

@OnionSoup I’ll trade you my Rolls. Be warned though, it has someone else’s order phrase and an RMA number written across the trunk. I haven’t taken it off the included car carrier yet so I’m not sure it actually works.

@cinoclav if it doesn’t work it’s no problem. I’ll have the staff lift the car and carry me where I need to go.

@sammydog01

@sammydog01
/giphy dancing for joy

Thank you thank you!
Were you looking for anything? I’d like to send you something in return. I don’t have any talking robots to spare though!

@mfladd you would identify with Patrick, wouldn’t you?

Congrats on your doorbell score. @sammydog01 is awesome. But if you tell her I said so, I will deny it.

@mfladd she’s totally awesome!

@mikibell The comment I made was about the power brush and @amehzinggrace is sending one. But she doesn’t have a hair straightener. I bet she would love that. I will send you something nice (just don’t know what it is yet) for it

@amehzinggrace @mfladd @mikibell

This?

@amehzinggrace @mikibell @PlacidPenguin
Now I am not sure which one she is sending.

@mfladd

This might be extra. I asked somebody IRL if they want it, but they have yet to respond.

Would this be good? Or is it not what you’re looking for?

@amehzinggrace @mfladd @PlacidPenguin yes, that is what I have…

@mfladd @mikibell @PlacidPenguin
This isn’t the same one that I am sending…there is still time to not send it as I was putting all effort into getting a test passed this morning…so nothing has gone out yet - @mfladd - its the pink version of the brush you commented on in the fuko reveal thread - I still don’t need it either way

@amehzinggrace @mikibell @PlacidPenguin

Miki, I will take yours since it has both if you are offering. I will send something back in return…muwahahahaha.

@amehzinggrace Thank you so much for your offer, and letting me know it hadn’t been sent yet. You should post it here for a trade.
Thank you too, Penguin!

@mfladd k… need address…

@mikibell You already know everything else about me

@mfladd

@mikibell knows stuff about you which I don’t know?

@mfladd @mikibell @PlacidPenguin
So in addition to the food saver I got today in my winning fuko…I also got a hot pink hair straightener…matches that other hair dryer/brush thingy…I have a complete hair win…still don’t want/need it though…lol

@mfladd last time I mailed you something a little sweetheart intercepted it!

@amehzinggrace @mikibell @PlacidPenguin Oh come on - what the hell is happening here? Now you have both?

Miki, she did!

@mfladd @mikibell @PlacidPenguin
I’m pretty sure the meh gods are laughing

@Kidsandliz

I have a green hubman available.

(I gave away the flat iron & brush combo though.)

@Kidsandliz thank you, but not necessary… I am trying to get rid of stuff! Three trips to goodwill and my sunroom is still not inhabitable!

PK that would be under “would like” iphone keychain charger.

@mikibell Yikes!!! Good luck finishing the job without going nuts, getting covered in bruises or hurting your back (or pissing off someone by ditching their stuff )

@mikibell

Any electronics?

@PlacidPenguin depends on definition of electronics, there was a Mr. Coffee, a crayon melter, a variety of drones… no pcs or such, we have an electronics drive coming up. Anything with a servo motor goes to the kid…

@mikibell

Ok.

@PlacidPenguin looking for something in particular?

@mikibell @PlacidPenguin @Fluffy might need a styling brush.

@therealjrn since it looks like I will be mailing stuff out… will you ping @Mick to see if she wants the small shirt? It has been in my briefcase for a week now!

@mikibell

Any sort of external hard drive.

@PlacidPenguin will ask the hubs… I have a 2 terabytes external drive but I use it to backup my pcs…

@mick @mikibell OK.

@mikibell

No rush. I’m not particularly in a hurry for over.

And anyways, I doubt I’d have anything you’d want in return.

@mikibell @therealjrn my apologies. sorry about the briefcase… my email is a hot mess right now 2837 mails i got to clean up. sooo i am just going to whisper my address at this time. lol thank you@mikibell

Meant to make it clear I will send people anything on that list even without a trade, they just need to pay the postage.

@mikibell But you kept Irk, right? You’d never get rid of him, right?

@OldCatLady I am looking for a second husband named Rik… but havent gotten rid of the first hubby yet… Might be a flaw in my plan!

@mikibell

@mikibell Well you could convert to a different religion that allows more than one…just sayin’

@Kidsandliz it is isnt religion stopping me…it is sanity!! One at a time is MORE than enough.

@Kidsandliz @mikibell Amen to that!

@mick @therealjrn btw, mick, you are an amateur with unread emails

this is one of my personal email boxes:

and this one is my work email box:

@mikibell so the moral of this story is don’t send emails, instead whisper?

@Kidsandliz naahhhh I am used to onslaughts of emails.

@mikibell @OldCatLady my husbands name is rick… lol

@mikibell you are right. and i never want to see something that nightmarish… lol

@mick

pillow is no longer available

@accumulator not until the first Irk goes on sale.

@CaptAmehrican how could anyone not want something that arrived in a fuku?

@CaptAmehrican @Kidsandliz

I have 7 boxes all packed already. Shame I can only give away 3 in each Mehxchange.

@CaptAmehrican True, but there might be some higher ticket items that people want to trade for.

@PlacidPenguin - well you could decide to randomly gift someone or more than one someone’s participating in the mehrichan exchange. Just sayin’

@CaptAmehrican A Meh exchange is kind of a different deal though, innit? They are great fun and all, but it’s a roll of the dice that you’ll get anything useful. Always fun, but seldom useful.

Whereas I believe @mfladd (correct me if I’m off base here @mfladd?) created the trading post in the hope of shifting Fuk merch from folks who don’t have a use for an otherwise decent item, to folks who will be able to make use of it?

For example the very decent NIB air fryer I received is a great item, but I don’t have room for any more kitchen appliances. Size and weight don’t make it an ideal item for the Meh exchange, but it would be a shame to let it go to seed. So perhaps something like this trading post is an opportunity to trade for something I actually have a use for.

@ruouttaurmind

Throw in the air fryer, and I’ll let you have the dashmounts in exchange.

@PlacidPenguin Fair enough. You pay shipping for the lot and we’ll call it even.

@ruouttaurmind

I’ll make it easier for you by letting you keep the dashmounts.

It would save time and effort.

@amehzinggrace My trade stuff is up higher ( https://meh.com/forum/topics/the-fuko-trading-post#5b560ebd78126e008a2fd174 ). I’d be interested in a trade for the pink hair stuff for my daughter.

@Kidsandliz I am only looking for an air fryer…but I am happy to send you the hair items without trading…just pay back postage when you get it!

@amehzinggrace Did @ruouttaurmind already get rid of his air fryer? He didn’t want it.

@amehzinggrace if you get no takers for the hair items, I am interested

@moonhat If that doesn’t pan out I have that same blower brush thing you can have if you want to cross the sound to come get it.

@metaphore don’t tease! Are you the one on the kitsap peninsula? Bremerton-ish?

@moonhat One of the ones over here, I think there’s a few of us now. If you’re interested I can make sure it works and we can make arrangements

@metaphore you mean a few of us in the Seattle area or a few in the Bremerton area? (We should have a get together!).

@metaphore if we could make arrangements of some sort that would be wonderful but that could be hard.

@moonhat Few in Bremerton, there’s a whole mess of us in the Seattle/Sound area. I’m close enough to the ferry you could do walk-on, but I don’t really know if a hair-brush-dryer-thingy is really worth the time to get here and back.

@metaphore well if by any chance you yourself take the ferry over to Seattle during workday hours let me know and I’ll run down from the office to get it

@metaphore yes I think @The_Tim @2many2no @joy823 @walarney @Crlaozwyz are in the Seattle area…?

@2many2no @Joy823 @metaphore @The_Tim @walarney oh and @daveinwarsh? Or someone in “warsh”

@2many2no @Joy823 @metaphore @moonhat @The_Tim @walarney What? Someone talking about me??
I haven’t got a fuko since mid-2016.

@2many2no @daveinwarsh @Joy823 @metaphore @The_Tim @walarney hi Dave, no, we were just talking about those of us in the Seattle area/wa state…

@2many2no @Joy823 @metaphore @moonhat @The_Tim @walarney I’m between Port Orchard & Gig Harbor. I rarely go to Seattle, in fact I avoid it unless we have company over & they want to see Pike or the Space needle.

@stardate820926 I have a video doorbell- sans instruction…not sure if it works…but for postage it could be yours…

Anyone getting rid an Ion Sound Shine? I got one in my last Fuko and would love try putting one in my other lamp to use the stereo optuon.

I have all sorts of random crap laying around my house so let me know what you are looking for.

@amehzinggrace Thanks for an amehzing trade

@speediedelivery Tell us more about these “shirts”

@amehzinggrace For sure an Irk and a V, Mens L.

@speediedelivery to trade or for wants?

@amehzinggrace @speediedelivery I’d be interested in a shirt in Mens L. Looking forward to seeing if you have some for trade!

@PlacidPenguin I’m interested! How much do you estimate shipping might be to Seattle?

Update: It’s gone.

Thanks @moonhat.

@PlacidPenguin so excited!
/giphy woohoo!

@reg036 You can also have them shipped to your house for free!
https://store.usps.com/store/results/flat-rate/shipping-supplies/_/N-1xg11gfZ7d0v8v

@medz

Usually they’re good with getting them to me fast, though sometimes they’ve sent the wrong style box, but the correct size. (Mainly when I request medium flat rate.)

In the end, I had to order a couple of variety packs to get 2 of the correct version.

@reg036 Most post offices will NOT have the padded flat rate envelope. It can be ordered free from usps.com.

@speediedelivery It’s great because it’s basically the same price as the small flat rate, but it holds a lot more. You can even put a box inside it for more protection!

@medz @speediedelivery

I once sent a Mehmber a padded flat rate envelope with a neoprene netbook (I think) sleeve in in.

Inside the sleeve, however, was a whole lot of stuff.

It was great, because instead of having everything loose in a medium flat rate box, for less than half the price, I used a padded envelope.

@medz @PlacidPenguin I was surprised when those came out. Nice size and savings for most things. Many people don’t know about them.

@medz @PlacidPenguin @speediedelivery
I use those padded envelopes for pretty much all of my online sales. I frequently use a box inside too unless I’m shipping something flat like comics.

@medz @speediedelivery @stardate820926

I also really like Media Mail.

I mean, I’m trying to sell Yo-Yo Ma: 30 Years Outside the Box.

It weighs 16 or so pounds, though with Media Mail, it would cost less than commercial rate for large flat rate, and it doesn’t even fit in a large flat rate box.

@medz @speediedelivery I just looked and the priority padded envelopes are the only that costs money to order - $7.25.

@medz @mfladd @speediedelivery That must be relatively new. I stocked up on them some time ago and haven’t needed to order again.

@medz @speediedelivery @stardate820926
https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/priority-mail-forever-prepaid-flat-rate-padded-envelope-P_PPEP14PE

Edit: wait I see…you buy it for $7.25 and it ships for $7.25, you are prepaying - I think.

@medz @mfladd @speediedelivery That’s for the prepaid ones. Although I guess it works out about the same, you just pay the postage now instead of when you ship it.

https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/priority-mail-padded-flat-rate-envelope-P_EP14PE

@medz @mfladd @speediedelivery @stardate820926

I use a commercial rate when shipping, so prepaying would cost more for padded envelopes.

Only slightly more though.

@stardate820926
Ahhhhh…thanks! Did not see that listing.

@medz @PlacidPenguin @speediedelivery @stardate820926 I like Media Mail too. Last year, some dept. in my vast company installed a bunch of new 27" iMacs and threw the packaging & boxes into a dumpster. Turns out that those are worth about $50-80 on eBay, so I snagged 7 or 8 and brought them home.
Shipping a box that size (even mostly empty) can cost a small fortune. My solution was to include 2 or 3 vinyl LPs in each box to qualify for Media Mail; brought the price all the way down to $7-8. Sold every last one of them.

@stardate820926 I bought 50 new pizza boxes for a little over $15. I find they’re very handy for shipping the online re-sales I occasionally have; for me it’s usually cheaper than the flat-rate boxes.

@compunaut @medz @PlacidPenguin @speediedelivery Maybe I’m missing something…why would someone want an empty box? I mean, I’ve kept boxes from some things (video game systems, DSLR camera) but I wouldn’t buy an empty one.

Edit - I’m not questioning your story. I see the listings/demand on eBay. I just don’t understand it from the buyer’s prospective perspective.

@compunaut @stardate820926 Me neither. MAYBE $15 for a fancy box. Not $80. You can by a refurbished chromebook with box for that. My guess is these ebay sellers are hoping to scam people by tricking people into buying an empty box. (bidding on picture alone or something)

@compunaut @medz @stardate820926

Humans are weird.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks guys- I didn’t know there was a flat rate padded envelope. I just ordered a pack.

@mfladd

Did you get your other box?

@PlacidPenguin What box!?

@mfladd

I thought that you were waiting for another Fuko.

@PlacidPenguin I am waiting on one more (in transit). Just updated: 16x13x11 in., 7.1lbs

@mfladd

Well after it gets delivered and you examine the contents, I expect a list on this thread with what you have available to trade.

@mfladd I’m kinda waiting to see what my last fukos hold and then I hope to get involved.

@mfladd Function of mehmbers who read the forum and boxes still arriving is my guess.

@mfladd I wish I had stuff to trade, all my stuff is returned stuff so far.

@reg036 But isn’t most all the higher ticket stuff returned?

@mfladd @reg036 My airfryer big ticket item was all burnt up and melted.

N/C for the trash haul, meh.com.

@reg036 @therealjrn So sorry to hear that…damn. Luck of the draw as to what return you get, apparently.

@mfladd @reg036 Yup. Actually, if anybody should get a broken airfryer, it is me. I have a fantastic Breville counter-top convection oven, so it would not have been used much anyway. No hard feelings here.

@mfladd

When is the box expected to be delivered?

That would be having this stuff up for offer, not wanting them.

@Kidsandliz I thought you had kids.

@therealjrn I decided to put aside for 3 or 4 years (based on the size of the socks) a couple of pairs for the now 2 year old girl and hope I can find them again when they will fit her. Multiple gray ones though so don’t need that many gray.

@Kidsandliz I would be interested in that, Liz

@moonhat When I hear back from someone else I will let you know. You are second. The ones in the sealed box are iLive, the others no name. They are just ear buds connected by a wire with the little controller thing in the middle of the wire.

@moonhat Heard back. They are yours if you want them.

Earbuds are taken and mailed

@reg036 Also have:
-A pink Hair brush/blower thing, box was opened and taped shut, it works and looks unused.
-A spider scary mug
-A very beat up doorbell cam, no way to test.

I’m interested in any food saver accessories someone might not want.

@reg036 what kind of foodsaver accessories? I got the purple food saver with dishes and such with it. I am dying for one of those brush/blower things. Should I gather my foodsaver items and tell you about them?

@moonhat we should talk lol. I’m out for the night now but tomorrow I’m free

@tinamarie1974 edit…mini styler is a flat iron

I also have an interchangeable styling rod (3 sizes) but it did not come w the glove.

@tinamarie1974 What do you want for the playing cards?

@bramby2 Oh I don’t know. What do you want to trade?

@tinamarie1974 I’ve got some stuff from my Fuko:

@tinamarie1974 …or I have Kylo Ren, or I have Anakin…

I got one of those pillows too. New and not an open return. I’d trade or send. Between @tinamarie1974 and myself then someone could have 2 that matched. I find that it is a bit bouncy through; softer but sort of pushes back a bit. I cant’ bunch it up very well and that is important to me.

@Kidsandliz whisper your address and it’s yours!

@bramby2 Thanks but I want to ditch the pillow too. I only posted that under yours because some folks like “matching sets” and mine plus yours (I thought it was @tinamarie1974 who had it so I managed to screw that up - oops) means they’d then have a matching set.

@bramby2 @Kidsandliz I’d be interested in the pillow(s) but I don’t know that I have anything decent to trade.

@stardate820926 If you have any iphone cords? I’d trade for that. Or…? Feel free to whisper back if you want to do it that way.

@Kidsandliz @stardate820926 if I don’t send the pillow to someone, I am just going to put it in the donate pile. Whisper me your address

@stardate820926 Well bad news for you. My daughter finally answered my text and she wants the pillow. Sorry about that.

@Kidsandliz No problem, Thank you anyway

@bramby2 ok. How about the brownie pan? Sorry about the delay, was trying to avoid social media as much as possible for a few days

@tinamarie1974 this one? It doesn’t say it’s a brownie pan, but I think it could certainly be used for brownies!

Whisper your address and it’s yours!

@tinamarie1974 you didn’t whisper. I can see your address. Might want to delete.

@tinamarie1974 mehbe @narfcake or @tHumperchick or @Ignorant can fixit?

@moose @chadp can you guys delete my mistake post. It was suppose to be a whisper

@ChadP @Moose @tinamarie1974 In the meantime - everyone send stuff to @tinamarie1974

@Moose @tinamarie1974 Done.

@ChadP @Moose thanks guys! I appreciate it

@amehzinggrace @ChadP @Moose But only good stuff, no weird stalker-y stuff please

@riotdemon @therealjrn thanks for the heads up/help this morning!! I’m blaming my lack of caffeine lol

@RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 When the box from Tulsa gets there, make sure to let them out.

@RiotDemon @therealjrn

@tnhillbillygal I am interested in the king sheets if you see anything of interest on my list. Otherwise I have another box coming Saturday w untold goodies!

@tnhillbillygal @oldcatlady was interested in a doorbell… I would pay to ship it to her! Not sure what I have to trade too early to think.

@OldCatLady @tnhillbillygal still trying to come up with cool trade stuff – I don’t have attack on titans, sorry I have a wireless bbq grill thermometer? umm did you need a meh t-shirt? are you a harry potter person? need more input than dorky, because that is not unique in my house!!!

@mikibell @OldCatLady i’m easy to work with! I’ll send you a pm

@tnhillbillygal What dorky things would you like in exchange for the sets of playing cards?

@bramby2 what is the appeal of these cards? I got a set and if they are cool, I will gift them in stockings – if they are not, I am afraid to gift them in stockings

@mikibell
The face cards and jokers have famous faces on them - Rock, Pop, Hip Hop, and Fashion icons.

@mikibell @stardate820926 to answer mikibell’s question…’cause I think they are cool

@bramby2 oh, i wasn"t questioning your specific interest… Now that I have seen them, they are cool. I feared they were naughty cards and would be gift inappropriate

@mikibell Why would naughty make them gift inappropriate?

@stardate820926 Cooool beans… I have two guys in our family that I always buy lots of little stuff for… these will be good for them!

@mfladd my mother in law frowns on naughty gifts at Christmas… I just bareeeellllly got away with the poop playdoh.

@therealjrn @tinamarie1974

a vibrator in any form

umm ANY form? I have a broken one that came in my fuko in the trash. Weakly vibrates for a couple of seconds and appears to be “used”.

@therealjrn @tinamarie1974 I thought it was just MY dirty mind…

@Kidsandliz @therealjrn yeah, so I don’t like to share my boys or my toys lol. And true, broken is just a sad form

@mikibell @therealjrn I think we ALL have dirty minds!!! Clearly I was a bit slow with my original post though…woops…clearly I need to explain myself better…although I bet a true workout vibrator would get more people to the gym

@mikibell @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 Umm hmm and you want us to believe THAT??? OK. We won’t tell :laughing".

@Kidsandliz @mikibell @therealjrn oh my…no, do you know what I am talking about? It is like a vibrating base thing. I saw a few ppl got them. I do not know what they are officially called.

However, I am not opposed to a good vibration now and again

@Kidsandliz @mikibell @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 it’s a thing.

@Kidsandliz @mikibell @therealjrn all good lol!!

@PlacidPenguin What the heck is an umbrella in a bottle?

@Kidsandliz

@Kidsandliz @PlacidPenguin that’s awesome!

Knife was claimed (off Meh).

@PlacidPenguin Oh my LOL. Clever though. I wonder how hard it is to get them back in the bottle once you have used it. They sell them online from $2.74 and brand it how you want https://www.everythingbranded.com/wine-bottle-umbrella-2?gclid=Cj0KCQjw45_bBRD_ARIsAJ6wUXT8ClTTRn9eS8E9Um_GjhgvFBYfQ3y1JzY2wKWBUGGW_ZirEWh0K5AaAokeEALw_wcB . Meh should sell them on casemates or put meh on them Reviews are all over the place though but that is about in line with meh stuff most of the time…

@Kidsandliz @PlacidPenguin It’s not to difficult getting it back in the bottle. I have one from another brand and once it’s wrapped up it slides in pretty easily. (I’m sure there’s a non-sexual sounding way to say that but I’m too lazy to figure it out right now lol).

The umbrella itself isn’t great though so I could totally see one with Meh printed on the side.

@Kidsandliz @PlacidPenguin @stardate820926
That umbrella looks OK…but these are being sold on Woot right now. If someone has one of these to trade…
