I've been really bad the past few years and haven't sent out xmas cards. -_-; Guess I've been a bit distracted. I do apologize to those who took the time to send me cards. I really did enjoy them. Instead I just wanted to post a Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays message to all my cel buddies around the world. ^_^ Have a wonderful holiday y'all!
Please take a moment to admire this piece of artwork:

Isn't it AWESOME! You see there's quite a story attached to this piece now. Apparently it was given to me by mistake. I had thought it was a gift, but was told there was a misunderstanding. So I offered to send the item back to the original owner and he said not to worry about it. Just keep it. I offered a couple different times. The owner, Jason, was an absolute dear and said no worries. So hurray for me right? WRONG!
Some ass hat of a collector decided that this wasn't ok since he wanted the settei. So he decides to contact anyone and everyone he can to complain about how I'm abusing my mod/admin status and robbing someone of their artwork. Seriously? Are you freakin kidding me? The original owner in the meantime is sitting back and watching this with a good laugh. As he should. It's ridiculous. I felt so bad for poor Jason to have to deal with this crap. This didn't even concern the other ass wipe. Needless to say I went ahead and offered to pay for the item and now it's in my gallery outright.
But let this be a lesson to people. If anyone sends you something and calls it a gift. Whether it was called a gift initially or after the fact....make sure you pay for the gift anyway. Also be aware that if you don't pay for these gifts that you'll be blacklisted by other collectors who had nothing to do with the situation.
Let's all admire the piece again:

Please note that this piece will never leave the USA! It will never be seen in France. NEVER!
I had initially removed my blacklist of people I hate because I hadn't needed it in awhile. Looks like I need to restart it. I'll need to find the other problem children from before, but in the meantime I've added the biggest one of them all on the front page.
If anyone reads beta they know that this is the LAST thing I need to deal with right now. I can remember Wendy blogging about an issue with a french collector awhile ago. There was a discussion why there were so many issues with them. At least I think it was on her blog....my memory is terrible these days with the stress. I've had plenty of issues before, but then they stopped and I began trusting them again. Well that is now shot to hell. No more dealings with France. I'm not racist, but I also don't feel like putting up with drama where there should be none.
To summarize.....always pay for items given to you. Never accept gifts.
To those innocent people out there reading this rant I apologize. I needed to vent somewhere and just get stuff off of my chest...."again no pun intended". ^_~
Now to get back to my doctor's appointments for biopsies. Yeehaw!
