Not even USPS?

When I order something from the US not having USPS is a deal breaker. When from Canada my choice is Purolator.

UPS charges me 50$ to do the border transactions, total BS.

Well, I might have lied in the previous post, since I didn't check the 6-8 business day one.  That one might have been USPS.  It was free shipping though, so I went with the overnight option after clicking through the two day and 3-5 business day versions, which were all UPS.  USPS would stick it in my locked mailbox, which is always nice.

Dude, you live in San Antonio...you're lucky if your stuff doesn't end up south of the border.

Was in a car crash today. It had a lot of stereotypes, young reckless male driver, a not-so-good blonde female driver and an impatient taxi driver. I was in the taxi.

I'm okay!

Hooray!

What about all those other folks.  I assume the pavement was not littered with human debris, since you don't seem very affected by it. :P

Nobody got badly hurt, though don't know about the youth as he drove off. The accident was mostly his fault.

Yes. Estadounidenses.

Are there any other words or phrases in Spanish that use that 'enses' ending?

Many demonyms end like that. For example londinense (London), platense (Rio de la Plata), bonaerense (Buenos Aires) or costarricense (Costa Rica).

Lame.  I think it would be fair to be Americanos, since we were first and all the other countries have proper names of their own anyway.

Most people will use americanos instead of the proper estadounidense.

sending shit

Therein might lie your problem.

Although I suppose there might be come historical significance to it to you beaners.

Parading around corpses and whatnot.

Who's to say there are not magical powers to feces?

IDK.

Apparently some dude is plagarizing fanfics, self puplishing them via kindle and selling them on Amazon.  Lol

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Can we expect Sav's Anne Frank with racoons any time soon?

Don't think there's much of a market for that. He's putting stuff up from large and popular series like WarHammer40k.

Like what kind of problems?  Other than lazy UPS dudes who can't push a little button on the wall right above where they put the packages, I have no issues at all.  USPS either puts it in my box or if it's too big for that or whatever, rings the doorbell and leaves a note if no one answers.  FedEx seems to regularly ring the doorbell as well.  I've never used DHL.  One of those will also leave it with a neighbor sometimes as well.  Haven't had that happen in a while though, so don't know which one it is (could be all of them vOv).

Of course, I, and the people who send stuff to me, can properly package things and fill out an address correctly and legibly, so maybe that's where you and Tonitrus go wrong.  :D

Don't know if anyone is watching the womens soccer WC but it's Brazil - USA right now and the ref really screwed it up giving a red card to a US player and a penalty, and then when the keeper makes a save then let them take the penalty again for no obvious reason. :tinfoil: So I'm cheering for the US right now. Go USA!
