Wanted to share my books

Wanted to share my books

I've bought all used. Didn't know how much I would like these books. (Farmer boy isn't the 2nd book in Germany. In fact, I had no idea it was translated until a few months ago when I found the rare translated copy from 1956) I got of course "in the big woods" first. It's a new copy, new copies have no illustrations :(.

Then I bought "lhotp" and a few others, which are older books but have the nice illustrations. So I tried to get the older copies if they where available for a good price. I've also bought farmer boy and the first 4 years in English, because they were cheap and I couldn't find these used for a good price.

My dream would be to own the other ones from the same publisher as the german Farmer boy.

Reading LTOTP for the first time and I hate Eliza Jane

She is such an UNFAIR teacher! It really made me angry how she treated Carrie and Laura. only picking on these 2 AND then lies to Pa and the others! I wish some of the kids spoke up about her.

Just had to rant 😤

Obnoxious loud neighbor

It's 5am. I'm laying awake because my stupid manchild of neighbor can't stop rev the engine of his stupid car at 4am! They are across the street and I hear it like it's standing in front of my bedroom window. This happens almost every morning from 4am-5am (and multiple times during the day) they also have a kid (around 6yo) who just screams. No word, only annoying loud screams!

Usually I have to get up at 6 for work. But because of them, I'm laying awake for 2 hours.

I'm so tired. Can't think of a proper note to write.also thought about contacting police but I have bad experience with them. What would you do?

(I'm living in Europe btw)

I think I deleted Pokemon Y from it's cartridge TToTT

I wanted to save the game on my modded 3DS. Used the create CIA file. It showed up normally. Then I tried Zelda Oot. Y showed only a balck square and wouldn't work. I tried the game cartridge but it showed a message erroe. Now none of my 3DS system can read it. It's like no game is inserted. I could cry.

Friend who's to lazy to drive himself

I have a friend who dislikes driving a car. He has a license and a car but lets his retired mom drive him to work, every single day. (They have 2 cars but only drive 1 ...)

When we meet at my place, his mom drives him here and picks him up.. When we made other plans I was usually the one who drove. Had to pick him up etc. BUT he was never in time! This annoyed me. Like I have to drive to your place, at a time YOU decided/ agreed, it's not on my way and you let me wait?! He had stupid excuses like he didn't wanted to stay in the cold. But could stand outside in front of the restaurant and talk with people. He even promised he'll be in time but surprise, he wasn't. I thought about driving off without him but waited and he made a fuss when I said he was late again. Since that I don't wanna go out of my way and drive him.

Anyway, he asked me if I wanna go to the cinema with him. Linked me a trailer. And said it would need to be on a Friday (because his mom isn't home that day) I watched the trailer but wasn't interested in watching the movie so I declined. He only replied with an "okayyy" which came of as annoyed but text isn't easy to interpret.

Later I occurred to me! He has the habit of going to the cinema almost every day (with his mom because she drives him) and his mom not being there, she couldn't drive him. So he asked me, and probably expected ME to drive as well since his mom uses the car!

I kinda was glad I declined because I'm not his fucking UBER.

Story about a blanket

This happened last Christmas time but popped up in my head.

Someone I know from school texted me, complaining it soooo cold at the market she's selling her things and if I don't want to come to chat with her. (Has done that multiple times so she knew it'll be cold)

I said: oh no. yes the wind is cold. No I have no time.

She" should have brought a blanket or jacket"

me: you haven't one in your car?

She "only a thin horse blanket that smells of horse."

Me: oh. Keep moving and have warm thoughts. (Keeping it short because I had friends over.)

She kept texting that it was sooo cold. And she couldn't move that much to stay warm. And that I should come and buy something.

my friends left. I thought if I was in her situation I would be happy if someone brought me a blanket. Well I'm bad at reading people but thought that would be nice.

Me: I could bring you a blanket but I only have thin ones.

She"I doubt it would be warm"

Me: oh ok.

She" but but if it's wool it could be warm"

Me: I have no wool blanket, only polyester ones.

She"better than nothing I guess"

Blabla I ended up bringing her a blanket as it was a short walk for me. She thanked me. But it took over a week of me asking when I'll get that blanket back. When I finally got it she handed it to me in a tote bag, insisting to have the bag back the next day.

When I was home and unwrapped the blanke, I noticed that she HAD NOT even washed it. It was full of grass and a few twigs!

Reprints from non official publishers?

I was browsing ebay for a used collection in my country language (sadly no luck) but I came across these. From Malaysia

It says "perfect for collector" a few sentences later "THIS IS NOT AN COLLECTOR ITEM AS IT'S PRINTED IN OUR STORE. NON OFFICIAL"

Recently I've seen "bootlegs" from the manga beastar. But now also

Dungeon meshi.

Why are they allowed to print and sell these?

Also, would you buy these or other mangas?

Tbh if it was a manga that's not available in my country, or out of print and otherwise costs 200€ I would buy a fake copy.

Started reading the manga. And was surprised about Bill.

In the anime, it never occurred to me that Bill ate a finger from the old man. Thought he really wanted to but didn't have enough money or was told off by his friends and got distressed Legoshi running away. Seeing Bill in another light now

Can't decide if I should make it all black or not

I've bought these red and blue koinobori patches but wanted one black 🎏 so I started covering the parts. Now unsure if I should make it all black or leave some parts red. ( my fingers scream leave some red 😅)

They really have gone bad. Missing item. Seller opened dispute. I upload pic and entire unboxing video showing the amount. Got NO refund.

Now I'm really worried about the one parcel stuck in transit. It's worth 40€ and if they don't even give me a few cents back, how will they handle a higher amount....

u/sodamnsleepy — 3 months ago

Received less then ordered. So asked seller for partial refund. They opened a case. Should I provide video of unboxing to helpfuly win. Or should I close it and save the help for important items.

This is just a few bucks and maybe I even have to send it back..

I'm waiting for A parcel that's stuck since a month with several orders in it. I'm scared I won't get my.money back if I have too many disputes. I've never had a something stuck for so long. And I lost hope. I've contacted support and stores multiple times. Some say it's because of the delivery company, while others say ir it got damaged and will be fixed. I just want my money back at this point. Order again fast so I it will arrive before the 3€ on everything start.

I only saw now that my package, which still hasn't moved, was inspected at customs... How bad is this. Had this something to do with the delay?

u/sodamnsleepy — 3 months ago

I've ordered some things on 20.4 for mothers day and father day.. Thought it'll arrive because usually delivery took around 10-14 days (choice). Should have arrived May2nd according to parcelsapp. But last update was on 25 April. All tracking sites show the same status. DHL only showing the parcels was announced.

I contacted customer support they said they contacted the delivery company and my parcel is now priority...which I doubt. Especially because of the holidays I highly doubt it arrives faster.

Funny thing is, 2 items I ordered at the same time or later already arrived.

Parcel status:Delivering nation:Mainland China -> Germany
