I've been dealing with this so long actually probably most of my life but diagnosed for two decades and honestly it's just exhausting. Right now I've been waiting to have my GI tract behave something closer to normal so that I can do my cologuard test. Like basically I'm trying to not send colgard a box of loose stools. So I ended up having my gallbladder out before I got diagnosed with all of this because they thought that that was the problem and guess what, it wasn't. But they took it out and now I'm dealing with the additional GI issues of not having a working gallbladder so I have to think could it have been gluten or was it maybe just too much fat (thanks no gall bladder) or is it a GI bug or maybe something more serious, my mother and Aunt both died from pancreatic cancer.

It's just fucking exhausting and I'm sure that I'm not the only one that's dealing with this.

I'm happily surprised, it's a mix of driving, I would have expected this number if it was mostly Interstate but it's not. I have almost 5,000 miles on it already and that number comes off of the trip odometer that I accidentally reset about a thousand miles in so that's an average for the last 4,000 ish miles.

I can't say that I drive like a grandma, but there's some areas near where I live in that I definitely do pay attention to the speed limit, mostly because I like to keep my money but overall I'm not driving in a way to save money on gas, if that makes sense.

I was visiting with my kid that has the '24 Crosstrek wilderness and compared MPG and I'm getting better numbers.

So yesterday we got a notification for another software update, it's the third since March. I'm curious if it's a touring/hands-free software tweaking thing or if it was pushed to all models.

​

I haven't done it yet because it always seems that it's asking for it whenever I'm either not home or have something else to do. It's on my to-do list for this morning.

So I decided today then I was going to utilize the ability to report an issue with the order through the Shopify app. I did it this way rather than emailing directly because I've already done that and gotten the same message that everyone else has and thought at least this way there is a record of my complaint with Shopify.

​

I know that I'm not the only one waiting, and perhaps I wouldn't be nearly as pissed off but I've already had to pay off that credit card bill because they charged right away and can't seem to give a legitimate shipment date. They had no problem emailing asking me for a review of a printer I have no idea when I may actually receive.

​

This next bit is for flashforge, the Federal Trade Commission and also many states have laws against what is transpiring here (in some states the purchase amount alone qualifies as a felony). We (the buyers) entered into an agreement and at the time of the agreement flashforge was conveying that shipment would be at the beginning of May. They have 30 days from the date of order to ship, for many of us they've missed that date and they should have been reaching out to us after day 30 giving us the option to cancel the order.

​

I would encourage anyone that is contemplating a chargeback to look at the timeline to make sure that you don't miss the time frame to do this, you have 60 days from the statement close date to contest the transaction.

​

It's such a shame because I really do like the Adventurer that I have and have been really impressed with the machine but this whole debacle with lack of communication and charging everybody up front has been a real disappointment.

Previously I had the car in for the firmware update for hands-free and I was able to make the appointment in the app and everything was just so much smoother. They implemented this AI phone system and at the same time it seems like they've pulled the ability to make appointments through the app. Then to top it off the actual Service number in the app when I would call it would hang up on me did it twice and then I had to call sales to get put through to the freaking AI that couldn't help me make the appointment.

For a minute I thought I had called the Hyundai dealer (known for crappy customer service).

I'm just annoyed I shouldn't have to make six phone calls and spend a half an hour of my life just to make a freaking oil change and minor warranty work appointment when it easily could be done in the app.

Anyone else encountered AI for dealing with service at dealerships?

So I have the shop app on my phone and I've opened it up and looked up the order in the past and it would always show something like awaiting shipping ( I can't remember exactly what it said). Today when I looked it said delivery not completed. I'm not sure exactly how I should take that but that's rather concerning, anyone else showing this also. I paid in full on the 20th of April so maybe it's something with timing although 44 days would be kind of odd threshold for a system to automatically switch status.

I feel like I am doing everyone a disservice by not having a picture. In Milford and Lewes both have a restaurant called Kick n' chicken and they both have dedicated kitchen space and fryers and they don't upcharge for gluten-free. They have a bunch of choices from Wings to these huge tenders to buckets of chicken. They also have fried mushrooms and cheese sticks and a bunch of different sides and usually have gluten-free desserts, available. I've eaten there numerous times (we live in Delaware) and never gotten sick. I usually end up getting the five piece tenders meal and bring it home and the leftovers the next day go into a salad ($17.95 for the tenders, sauce and fries that effectively makes three meals because the next day the salad I share with my husband). Anyhow it's not a dressy restaurant, just thought I would mention that so that you can moderate your expectations when you walk in.

For those that are planning a summer trip to Delmarva beaches the one in Lewes isn't too far off of Delaware 1 and the one in Milford is a good stopping point if you're heading to Ocean City.
