Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T20:27:09-04:00
Wow. Why is nobody on here later? It's always busy about noon and then on occasion at like 9 pm or something. I guess that's slightly different in your time zone, but still.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-26T20:41:48-04:00
I don't know. I don't get it, either
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-26T21:00:46-04:00
Well, it took about 3 years, but I finally got a reward from one of the first projects I backed. As well as the refund I demanded(in money order form, so it damned well better be in US funds, which is what I paid it to the person as). And his "it's on the way + extras for being a backer" that he told me back in April, was a definite lie. The Mailing Office Date Stamp is 8/18/2015. At least I got my money(hopefully all of it) back.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T21:10:58-04:00
Just looking at what you've supported on your profile, GM, I know it has to be the 2013 calendar, amiright?!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T21:13:13-04:00
For the money, charge him for interest and inflation.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-26T21:29:39-04:00
So did you get the money AND the reward? or are those two different projects?
Hi guys! We had previously set something up with a backer who was moving out of country to NYC for a year. He had no forwarding address in this country, so the super sweet EK gang made sure he had someone in New York to receive his kittens!
I loved it! Though I felt bad because he missed an email from me and ending up traveling all the way to the upper east side (believe me, it's a pain in the ass), when I was in midtown. But yay kittens! My coworkers were soooo confused.
I'm doing okay. My Contractor thinks he can scratch a framing crew together that can start framing the house beginning Friday or maybe Monday, instead of the forst week in October. So that's good news.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-26T22:38:34-04:00
I'm doing well. I have another interview tomorrow, and then one on Friday with a lady who has a PhD. I'm not sure either will be a good fit, but I want to give everyone a chance
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-26T22:41:19-04:00
Are you still staying up til all hours baking for private customers Creeper?
I don't have any private orders at the moment. Either it's something I'm putting out there, or it's just the universe helping me. I'm busy as chef at this new place (meaning, I'm insecure, terrified and worried constantly and feel like a fraud always) while maintaining my waitressing job)
I only have one day off a week, and two days a week are double shifts. I am a very very sleepy kitten,
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T22:51:48-04:00
That explains why you're not on here much. Hi Creeper! (not necessarily in that order)
Had to do a prelab quiz that was FINALLY put up a couple of days late, leaving only tonight and early tomorrow morning to do it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T22:53:14-04:00
And that's awesome! I haven't looked at your twitter in some time, which makes sense because I avoid it like the cliches.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T22:55:43-04:00
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T22:56:58-04:00
And i made hot chocolate before checking my email and seeing the quiz was up. An hour later I just have chocolate. WHY, OH GOD OF TASTY FOOD? WHYYYY?!?!?!?!?!?!
hmm maybe they'll all just go to PAX and take their butt hurt out on them in person, at least there'll be kittens to defuse any angry people, oh and Matt
and also , I've backed a campaign that had a mishap with some shipping orders, but started to sell retail to the public. I was one of the people still waiting on my order. So though I was sympathetic and understood the situation, there was still a bit of frustration. We just need to be here to help!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T23:30:09-04:00
You don't know the pain, Creeper! You don't have to slog through trenches full of dirty, bloody, knife/gun/bayonet/grenade/shovel-wielding backers that didn't receive the one thing they've looked forward to since they were born and now it's being sold on amazon. AMAZON!!! The humanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-26T23:30:35-04:00
And judge (sorry, I couldn't resist), but mostly help
Micah - I was here during the campaign with the constant questions throughout. And though at times it can be frustrating (i have had a break down or two) we still need to remember our main intention.
i feel for them, i do but the last thing that's going to make things better is getting angry and pissy.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-27T00:08:47-04:00
We're not angry or pissy, they are. We try to rationalize and show them it's not actually WWI and to please put down the shovels and grenades. With the pins still in them.
*aims exploding kittens at fence**hopes for the best*
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-27T00:28:14-04:00
Holy cow alot happened in a short time.
I know, LZ, I want to put my profile picture on the Litter Box, but there's none so small!
Really? Only a barbed wire fence with concertina ribbon at the top? Dude, that's nothing when it comes to a kitten in distress!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-27T00:29:09-04:00
Use the kitten to do a rocket jump over the fence. Take another one so you can get back and some others to defend yourself from any unseemly neighbors taking aim.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-27T00:30:24-04:00
If the one with the goatee is the evil one, that explains why I'm a villain
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-27T00:30:34-04:00
Whoa, 11:30? I should go to bed too. Have to get up early and tomorrow is entirely labs and lab-lecture from 8:30 to 12:30. Everyone asks how the first days are going, but I can't wait for the first weekend.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-27T00:30:58-04:00
Should I grow a goatee as well? Nah, it wouldn't look good on me at all.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-27T00:48:26-04:00
Time for bed. Good night, though I suspect I'm the only one left.
This is for anyone still here quietly: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T07:28:40-04:00
Good morning all.
@LZ, you must have a good twin somewhere.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T08:32:18-04:00
I'm trying out an experiment.
In 59 minutes.... Good morning, BaKhan.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-27T09:17:01-04:00
@Trinkets, lol! That was awesome, and so close!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-27T09:17:30-04:00
Good Morning Corps!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T09:18:23-04:00
Lol, I thought it was usually about 8:30 when u showed up, so I was just swing how close I was.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-27T09:19:08-04:00
@Trinkets, pretty awesome deductive powers there mister!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-27T09:20:00-04:00
I just gotta say, cause I'm excited and all, I've lost 8.8lbs since Monday! Whoo hoo!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T09:40:50-04:00
Congratulations, @BaKhan!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T09:41:24-04:00
Hey, btw, how do you put the pic next to your name over at the Litter Box?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-27T09:47:02-04:00
@Trinkets, thanks! As far as the pic, I'm not sure I think its through your profile. Its been so long, I can't remember.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-27T09:49:31-04:00
@Trinkets, so, you go to your profile, and then go to the edit avatar tab. The rest is up to you! ;)
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T10:01:09-04:00
Boom! Got it @BaKhan. Thanks. I don't know how I missed that when I was looking around earlier.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T10:03:09-04:00
@LZ, we're you looking for a pic for the Litter Box? I saw you were looking for a 6kb pic. I just copied the pic next to my name on here and it worked.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T10:04:02-04:00
Isn't it about time for @PoT to grace us with his presence?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-27T10:08:41-04:00
@Trinkets, you're going to have to change your name to Trinkets&Bearerofthehourglass... ;)
Glad to help!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T10:09:14-04:00
Lol, I think it's too long as it is.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-27T10:11:43-04:00
Well I'm just saying... ;)
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T10:20:53-04:00
Looks like @PoT is turning me into a liar.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T10:35:15-04:00
PoT is off his game today.
So......how about a Lord Zombitten sighting?
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-27T10:49:54-04:00
Excuse you Trinkets? Off my game? I think not. I told you all last night I have a busy day on tap.
G' mornin'
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-27T10:52:42-04:00
@PoT, good morning sir!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T10:54:09-04:00
Lol, good morning @PoT.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-27T10:56:41-04:00
Good Morning Gentlemen! It's a lovely morning here in Chicago. Ambient local temperature is approximately 12 degrees.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-27T11:00:44-04:00
@PoT, celcius?
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-27T11:02:40-04:00
Fahrenheit. I'm a 'Murican damn it. We don't talk no sissy communist metric crap 'round these parts. An' Iffen you wanna live sonny Jim. Neither will you.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T11:05:15-04:00
Bravo, PoT!
'Murica!!
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-27T11:06:07-04:00
Okay, it was actually about 54 degrees when I rolled outta bed. But I WILL NOT turn the heat on in August! I simply will not.
What do you folks have on tap for the day?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T11:08:51-04:00
We had 42° F, ~5.5°C when I woke up at 6:00 am.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T11:09:54-04:00
Tons of work. Lots of staining and vanishing to do. Rebuild a window sash that has rotted, and rebuild a drawer core.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-27T11:09:59-04:00
Where are you Trinkets?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-27T11:10:56-04:00
I'm up (for you) in Tomah, WI
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-27T11:12:28-04:00
I have to finish memorizing two pieces for a show next week and get started on a third (if the damn script ever shows up). I have to take the dog to therapy, get him some food and check on the house. Then go to the store and get barbeque and dessert making supplies for tomorrow. That's a full workin' day lad!
Wow. Why is nobody on here later? It's always busy about noon and then on occasion at like 9 pm or something. I guess that's slightly different in your time zone, but still.
I don't know. I don't get it, either
Maybe everybody is playing Exploding Kittens?
Well, it took about 3 years, but I finally got a reward from one of the first projects I backed.

For the money, charge him for interest and inflation.
So did you get the money AND the reward? or are those two different projects?
I got the money order, and part of the reward. I didn't even care about getting the reward, since I demanded a refund.
Hello my lovely kittens!
I got to meet a kitten fan all the way from Brazil today- if you happened to catch my tweet @sugwhip
Creeper! That's so cool!
Hi Creeper!
Hi guys! We had previously set something up with a backer who was moving out of country to NYC for a year. He had no forwarding address in this country, so the super sweet EK gang made sure he had someone in New York to receive his kittens!
In steps creeper, and I was able to give him his kittens today!
Very cool!
I loved it! Though I felt bad because he missed an email from me and ending up traveling all the way to the upper east side (believe me, it's a pain in the ass), when I was in midtown. But yay kittens! My coworkers were soooo confused.
Yay kittens!
How are you gentleman?
I'm doing okay. My Contractor thinks he can scratch a framing crew together that can start framing the house beginning Friday or maybe Monday, instead of the forst week in October. So that's good news.
I'm doing well. I have another interview tomorrow, and then one on Friday with a lady who has a PhD. I'm not sure either will be a good fit, but I want to give everyone a chance
Are you still staying up til all hours baking for private customers Creeper?
Glad the house is progressing Pot! And sometimes the candidate you don't think will work ends up being perfect, so cheers for being fair, LZ
I don't have any private orders at the moment. Either it's something I'm putting out there, or it's just the universe helping me. I'm busy as chef at this new place (meaning, I'm insecure, terrified and worried constantly and feel like a fraud always) while maintaining my waitressing job)

Now I'm hungry because I looked at it. https://www.youtube.com/watch…
And i made hot chocolate before checking my email and seeing the quiz was up. An hour later I just have chocolate. WHY, OH GOD OF TASTY FOOD? WHYYYY?!?!?!?!?!?!
Mmmmmm.... Chocolate.
So, how's life?
good evening all. how was the butt hurt today?
We got our share, but thankfully they just opened the floodgates a smidge to let a draft in rather than dynamiting the dam.
I'm going to bed. busy day tomorrow then Friday I'm off to a barbeque competition. See ya'll in the morning.
Save me some barbecue! I love it and summer is ending so it's not so glorious. Just air-mail it to me.
hmm maybe they'll all just go to PAX and take their butt hurt out on them in person, at least there'll be kittens to defuse any angry people, oh and Matt
Now now, we can't be too judgey of everyone. Let us lead with love and cheese.
Because cheese.
and also , I've backed a campaign that had a mishap with some shipping orders, but started to sell retail to the public. I was one of the people still waiting on my order.

i meant them not us
Where the nuts does one find a pic that's smaller than 6 kb?!
Hey Mel. Good night.
Tchotchke! Just s I pop on to say goodnight.
It's like we're twins or something.
Evil twins.
Melissa "Taser Creeper" Nicole about 1 hour ago
Because cheese
@Creeper, you win teh Interwebz!!
There's only ever one evil one. And if South Park taught us anything it's that the one with the goatee is evil EXCEPT for Eric's, then it's reversed.
@LZ, did you try Amazon? They have EVERYTHING!
Ouch
Guyyyyysssss.... There is a kitten mewing in distress outside and I can't get to it.
Nice try Tchotchke.
Alrighty, off to bed.
Good night all.
THIS IS NOT OK.
I stood out by the back fence and talked. It would be quite for a bit, then start mewing again. STUPID FENCE
Did you try a water pistol?
Help teh kitteh!!!
Seriously, logging off. Nighty night.
It's off in the distance. Harrumph. Had to give up and go back inside.
Ok. I need sleep and to not try to figure out how to scale said fence and razor wire.
i have faith that'll you'll find a way Melissa!
*aims exploding kittens at fence**hopes for the best*
