A Quick Hello

Hey all,

I just wanted to take a second to say hello to everyone officially.  I have been around since the good old days of overnight delivery in the US.  I took a break for a few years when that all went south and ended up getting screwed over by the first couple of iop and e-mail vendors that were "highly recommended".  I'm dipping my toes back in the water again, but very cautiously this time.  So...I'll probably be doing a lot more reading and researching than I will posting.

I'm thrilled to find a site with so much information and feedback from others who appear to have been around the block a time to ten.  Even a great vendor will sometimes pack it in and leave us all hanging, but the more we know the better we are...so many thanks to all of you who share you valuable experience, and even more to the brave souls that risk taking one for the team when someone new shows up on the radar.

I'll be around, will familiarize myself with the rules of the board, and will hopefully get to know some of you better with time. 

Oh, and on a more personal note I have Fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, and slipped and fell and suffered a massive concussion about a week ago (lets blame my rambling on that bit shall well).  Oh, and I have chronic anxiety and panic attacks as well...so I get the whole trifecta...chronic pain, inability to fall asleep, inability to stay awake enough to function, stupid amounts of anxiety, and now a banged up brain to top the whole thing off. 

So much for my "quick" hello.  /default_smile.png

ETA:  I was going to give a quick (in theory) positive review to the only IOP I have been brave enough to order from thus far.  I have had great luck with them, but their thread appears to be locked (won't go into why or it would give it away - they aren't on the blacklist though).  I just happened to notice that most of the threads in that section appear to be locked.  I haven't looked through them yet to see why each would have been other than the one I was going to post under.  I was just curious if they were really locked, or just locked to me since I'm so new?  They aren't part of the 50 post count forums.

Thanks!

Hello Eidolon and welcome to the forum.  It sounds like you are well on your way to familiarizing yourself and be sure to read the rules and the thread called Helpful Quoted info for new people located in the same section.  I think that the SY (Mexican) section is locked for comments when you are new and I think you need a certain amount of posts in order to comment in them. Oh wait, you said it was an IOP so I'm not sure why that is but I have a feeling it does need a certain number of posts because they don't look locked to me.  Anyway, I'm glad you are having some luck ordering and let me know if you have questions that I can help with.

edit to add:  I checked out the IOP list and you are right that there are a lot of locked ones but the ones on top (about 8) are the ones currently used.  I'm just guessing here but I think the locked ones are because they were not reliable anymore.  The admin. of this site works hard to protect us from being scammed.  Not saying the locked threads are scammers but they could be locked for other reasons unknown to me.

Just a hello? What a perfect intro IMHO.

@Suzie and all - SY is locked to members with under 50 replies/posts. This is a relatively new situation, but after reading up over there it makes a tremendous amount of sense.

Read up, read well and again: Welcome to you Eidolon!

 
Welcome Eidolon!   I sent you an PM, but wanted to 'formally" welcome you to the group!  You will meet lots of great and kind people here!

  1. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  11. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though
  19. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
