| | Had a wonderful Father's Day, mostly because it was also my son's birthday:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1345483
My son had booked theatre tickets for us to the Top Gun, Maverick movie
at a very unique theatre, with a fabulous dinner and libations served before
and during the showing. Not bad 
We also visited the Oregon coast (razor clam season) and other wondrous places
up here. It was a good-to-be-alive type of time
Hope you got your Father's day gifts in time.
Bless you Dads. Stay strong!
|
Happy belated birthday to your son.
And a happy belated Father’s Day to you Cory.

I WILL NOT SPOIL IT. I watched it on the weekend and it was great. Back when
the first one came out it was epic (for its time). Now I've watched them
both and they are both awesome. I loved the effort and the whole movie.
The storyline was great and I recommend it to anyone who is thinking about watching
it.
What do you guys think of it?
What are your thoughts on the movie?

Excellent movie! In many ways better than the original.
I saw it in an IMAX theatre, and subconsciously picked seat F-18.
10/10 would definitely recommend.
I’ve built a very nice LEGO F-14 with working swing wings, I’m now looking for
a nice F-18 MOC to build.

I doubt it and believe it's the former, human cancer.

Random does not necessarily mean without conscience choice. Random simply refers
to something that cannot be anticipated in advance. So, from Nubs_Select's
perspective, this email appears random. They cannot even predict if it will be
in English or in French!

| | "random email from PayPal?"
In other words, you're asking if anyone has received emails (made, done,
happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision) from PayPal?
Do you honestly believe anything is "done without conscious decision" from any
entity such as PayPal?
The post is so ludicrous, I had trouble in formulating a rational reply. This
is the best I could do
|
Truth be told, in this day and age, the vast majority of emails are sent without
any conscious decision at all, by automated scripts and bots (unless, of course,
said email bots are conscious).
Of course, the person who wrote the script/bot was most likely conscious, but
even that cannot be taken for granted, for a significant amount of computer code
these days is written by… other code.

better serve the needs of the LEGO community. I can only imagine what the next
22 years will bring.
For context, here are some statistics: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1304

Thank you for the reminder. I personally love this place, and I don't know
what I would do without it. Here's to the next 22 years! 🎉🎉

Almost lost them over the winter. Not so much the lack of UV or growth cycles,
but because of a toxic-to-plants substance, I knew nothing about: cat piss! I
understand it's use as a derogatory, now
|
Had a client ones that did not understand why her shrub kept dying on a certain
side.
As we were talking the culprit showed up, did his business against said shrub
and strolled of

My son was away on business and had us sit his (unbeknownst to us) pregnant cat,
this she-demon: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1329051 She had for
some reason been pissing in the saplings' pots at night. Almost killing them
within hours. I have never smelt ammonia as strongly as her urine, pungent as
Hell itself.
|
Yup, I never advice clients with neighbors from hell that won’t keep in shape
their greenery’s over the border of their garden to use urine.
That would kill the problem fast…
| |
Well, I did the Botany ER thing with them for two months, I wasn't gonna
give up on them! I believe they’ll pull-through, against all odds.
|
Next time remove as much soil as possible, or give large amounts of water to
clear the soil.
| |
The First is now nearly 5 feet tall now, she is Jazz. The second is doing well
too with beautiful dark green foliage, is Gavin.

Nice going 👍

If you cat sit again, put aluminum foil in pots. The cats hate the foil and
it will keep them form climbing into pots to do business. Another option is
to put some tape sticky side up across tops of pots and they won’t mess with.

| the email was worded more like I'm now verified to use Paypal as a seller
not as much verified on a device which I should have added previously I can see
how I caused some confusion

| It kinda looks like the message I get when I use Paypal multiple times through
a browser. Initially, I would need to go through the "I am not a robot" click-thingy,
but after a few times a message comes up at login, saying something to the effect
that Paypal now trusts the device I am using, and the robot clicks are now no
longer needed (but obviously the password is still required).
It looks like you are using their app though - I don't have any experience
with that.
Niek.

| Yeah, I do think it's legit. and there isn't anything in my account when
I open it. I double-checked the address letter for the letter and the address
that sent it and it's all good and there aren't any links. It just reminded
me of when I had first to verify my account a while ago and they said I had to
send in a certain document and every time I submitted it they denied it but then
after submitting it like 15-20 times (not even exaggerating much) they accepted
it so maybe they had a copy of that in their system and they accepted it a second-time
by mistake since so many copies were sent.

It could be legit; especially if there's no link you've to click to.
If they require to do something, just open your account separately (no click)
and see if something is required there.
If not, send this e-mail to spoof@paypal.com - let them fix their own glitches

sent out with a system refresh (I don’t know if thats even possible)
