I got a few minutes. Here is a summary of our communications: 1. I posted to the item listing on 10/23/08 at 6:38 pm expressing interest and informing him I was sending a PM. The link to that thread is here: m 2. I PMed Mr. Young on 10/23/08 at 6:40 pm expressing interest, providing my address , and...

I'll work on uploading the stack of print outs from the other PMs, emails, postings, etc. as time allows. Perhaps on my lunch hour or later tonight. I have to work and go to a continuing ed thing tonight.

Jess

Now we see if I am smart enough to upload a pdf.
Hopefully this is my first PM to him and his reply to it.
Here goes.

Jess

Everything you say is absolutely true Jess. I have all the emails too. And where do you see me blaming everything on you Jess? Go reread what I wrote, I was surprised it had been 20 days and I was about to ship your grill when it was realized we had no address for you...because unlike everyone else...

Jess

I can't figure out how to forward a message I have saved. I'll print it and pdf it and figure out how to upload it tomorrow.

Jess

Ok. Now I am angry. Now I have no doubt you are dishonest. I was also very clear about the fact that the PMs fill up fast from the post I made a week or so ago. I caught on to this excuse early on. That's why I utilized your emails of furnaceplans@hotmail.com and partsandtechnical@hotmail.com That's...

BTW, I just realized that Talbot had won my item at auction back in Feb of 2008:

What happened?

Jess

Mr. Young, I have yet to lose my temper. I am very cool at the moment. Considering the number of people who have PMed me in the last couple of hours, I think you have problems. As I indicated in my voice mail, I would like to know 1. Has the grill has shipped yet? If so, via what service and with wh...

Jess

I paid for an item some time ago that has not been delivered. Communication has been very poor. I still want to give him the benefit of the very small doubt that remains in my mind. I'd like to give him a phone call and resolve this in a friendly manner if at all possible. Anybody have a phone or ad...

Andrew Young,

It has been 20 days since I paypaled you money for the bar grill.
Has it shipped yet and via what service?
If there is a problem please advise. I still hope for a friendly resolution. Thanks!

Has this shipped yet?

Jess

Bump for lack of response.

Jess

Andrew,

Just checking in since I read you lost some messages.

I paypaled you on Oct 25. Has this shipped out to me yet? I am hoping to work on it this weekend.

Murdockie, I have paid thousands of dollars for custom armor that didn't fit. Some armourers wanted to make it based on my height and weight and a body profile. Some wanted to make it off measurements. It never works. It doesn't fit. I think that's because I'm a chunky woman with freaky proportions....

Jess

Ooh. And it is payday! I want it. PM on the way.

Rust-oleum Rust Reformer. I'm in love with this stuff. I haven't reapplied it since I made the original post. I intentionally poured water and gatorade on it at war, whenever I would get a drink. It still looks awesome. There are some tiny flecks of rust if you study it very closely. However, they a...

The concept of bleach turning it yellow is news to me. Maybe that's silk you are thinking of?

I bleach all my braies to get the mud and grass stains off the butt.

The Romance of Silence has a lot of good dialogue on gender roles and the 13th century view of women's nature.

Jess

I am a newish fighter, recently authorized within the month, and been in armor almost 20 times now. Well, don't let that stop you. Sounds like the will is there but the killer instinct isn't. A womans nautal instinct is to mother or nurture. Not hunt and gather. My daughter is the same way, but whe...

Read these three books and you will know more than many of the Mafioso wanna bes: 1. Deeds of Arms by Steven Muhlberger -- I think it's scholarly but accessible and easy to read. Read this one and when the Mafiosos start talking about specific deeds and people, you will know what and who they are ta...

I use two pairs. One of those fill up the whole shoe footprint gel type insoles go in my turnshoes first. Then I add on top a pair of the smaller arch/heel cup supports.

Jess

I have sewn children's soccer knee pads (you can get them at Dick's) into my gambeson as if they were shoulder pads. Works great.

Jess

I understand it. I'm not capable of doing it, but my father might be. Since my bascinet already has a center hinge installed that attaches the bar grill (and it looks like my klappvisor is gong to "mate" with it without difficulty), I was hoping that there was some simple yet authetic remo...

Jess

Actually, your post was the first one I could understand.

Jess

I want to make my bar grill and my klappvisor easily interchangeable, so I can swap out without any tools or serious effort at an event or practice. I currently have a simple center hinge. I am not mailing my helmet off for a professional to do it. Any idiot proof instructions out there? Thanks!

Most attorneys use large heavy leather pilot's cases: m They are crazy expensive ($200-400) and we HATE the locks on them. It requires us to remember numbers and if we could do that we would have been engineers. I would think there would be a huge market, and they would be simple to make, compared t...

Maybe ask this guy?

A point brought up earlier is one we have never had to face, what do we do when we exceed our number? Then you just do it again. Is it not the usual practice to run it twice? Let the second set of guys go out for the second scenario, and let those who desire to repeat to fill in the numbers. That s...

Jess

Are you a female with a small head?

I am. So I used to freak out when I would read those heavy helmet posts that guys would make. When your head is small there's a reduction in the weight. Get a well-made 12 or 14 gauge helm, pad it up, and don't worry about it.

Jess

I really don't think you should work on my stuff until I meet up with you to give you measurements or you make patterns or however you work. I've had way too many "custom" orders that simply do not fit. It is completely depressing. Maybe I can catch up with you at MKAD? Or if not, look at ...

Do you know ANDREW YOUNG?

quick change center hinge for grill/visor?
