@JoshC
don’t tempt me!! -
I was not sure which thread to post on but this one seems as good as any.
I wanted to express my thanks to both @Mizmazzle (Mark) and @Anesthetist (Matt) for both helping me out recently with a purchase from the US. Mizmazzle kindly offered me his spot on the Ship John wait list for a Wills jacket. The costs to ship to the UK were eyewatering, nearly as much as the cost of the jacket, something I had not anticipated.
With a little bit of creative thought we managed to get a workaround solution. I was aware that Anesthetist was heading to London on holiday with his family and a meet up and transfer of the jacket was organised. Mark really helped and got the jacket shipped to Matt for hand carry to the UK. Thanks Mark, super happy with the jacket.
I met Matt on Wednesday just gone in London and spent a lovely few hours with him and his family checking out the V&A museum, Harrods and then a London pub for Fish and Chips.
It is so nice to be able to meet like minded people who you have known / chatted to on the forum for several years. Easy conversation and really nice to see our similar age daughters hit it off and get along so well in such a short space of time. It is moments like this that make the forum and the people who use it very special. It was a real affirmation of the positivity that the forum offers.
Me and Matt post Fish and Chips. Enjoy the rest of your break with the family, it was a pleasure meeting you and the family.
There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

Well done @ddtrash, @Anesthetist and @Mizmazzle! I love these stories of worldwide forum smuggling
️. -
@sabergirl Smuggling or snuggling? I’m fine with either
-
Hell yeah, fantastic forumliness! Seeing that the Wills is quite a large beast, this means @Anesthetist will have some room in his suitcase to bring back some IH. Time to scoot on over to Rivet & Hide
-
Thanks Graham @ddtrash but the pleasure was all mine! I’m so glad it all worked out and it was a great afternoon. Thank you for the snacks and beer
as well. -

Hi friends! Thank you so much for checking with me, and your concern. We are doing fine. It is going to be a very challenging time as Asheville’s municipal water system was completely decimated by flooding and landslides. We expect to have our power back hopefully by Friday. It may be a month or more until there is running water.
We are the lucky ones! Our house had no damage, and we live in a very caring neighborhood that has become a hotbed of mutual aid activity. We are taking care of each other. We are both local government employees so we will be picking in with a lot of relief efforts in addition to pitching in around the neighborhood. There is a LOT to do, and we will keep busy.
Thank you for all of the love that you’re sending our way! Keep it coming. I will try to keep y’all updated as I am able.

@sabergirl ...a post I am so happy to see!! Love to both of you and know that we are here. Please let us know if there is anything you need or can do!
-
@sabergirl Thank you for checking in and good luck with all that lies ahead!

@sabergirl so happy to hear you and your fam are safe. What a tragedy and I’m sure a very harrowing experience.
