Last Christmas I ordered a gift for my Wife from a company in Dallas, Texas

It went through Irving, Texas, then Memphis, Tennessee, then directly to Richmond, BC
I thought, great, it will be here in a day or so, but then noticed it was posted as an International shipment release ???
Next thing you know, it's on it's way to Paris, France :surprise:
After speaking with FedEx, it was sent from Paris back to Memphis, then finally made it's way here. All this in only 3 days
So now it's Dec 22
I unpack the gift, plug it in, and it goes Pffffttttt poof !!!

I contacted the vendor and after the laughter and appologies, they shipped another immediately, which made it by Dec 24 ... and it works
Whew, talk about cutting it close :mrgreen:

Last night I go to my granddaughters skating like I always. Last night they were doing their program for the little ones. I was doing a video for her mom who was working. Did a couple little videos during practice and warm up.

Checked batteries. Look good, have spares but dont need them right. :thumb: Did another check on skater before her. Ok, her turn. Music starts.....camera starts and just as she starts her program................batteries are dead and camera shuts down..:doh:...............:frusty:

By the time I get my iPhone out and on video, her program is half over.

Either murphys law or as I always say, one of my ancestors in Ireland caught a leprechaun doing something and family is cursed. :lol: :lol:

gregzz4 I would of been freaking out cutting it that close! Glad it worked out though.

Doug that sucks and it's true batteries always have a nack of dying at the worst time :sad:

I went to Arby's tonight and when I got home, sure enough, they had packed all the food but my sandwich :sad: Still got charged for it though :sad:
