Like okay. I have already apologized for my impatience.

I changed the original post. There is no need to continue this...
Like simmer down....you weren't the OP, but your now edited post also showed your impatience as well.

As far as beating a dead horse we weren't even close to that as of my first post ITT. We may be getting closer now.
 
for me it was not about rushing Chris, sometime you just worry did something bad happen or did he go on vacation. you just want to know. if someone told me it will take a few months then i will just wait and not bother that person, but if someone told me I will have it to you soon, then you are expecting it in a few days. then if a few weeks goes by, you just want an update. communication is always the key in doing any kind of business. I'm a business owner myself, and i deal with a lot of customers on a daily basis, i always keep them inform of whats going on. I think everybody here is nice and friendly, and I enjoyed being a part of this chip community.
 
I have a white beard too, but I just got in a bag of powdered sugar.

It's delicious.

Almost everything else in modern society is designed to create instant gratification. PHONES and CASINOS are all about that. How can you not want the GEAR LABELS to get to you quicker after seeing all of the beautiful examples or the proofs @Gear has done. HE does such good work that you want it NOW. I get it. Patience without the information and history is VERY difficult for people in general.

@Jeevansluck don't let the haters get you down. Here's a post I wrote on another thread but think it still plays well here:

I understand it’s not appropriate or fair for members to bash vendors publicly for issues related to their specific order or product without attempting to resolve it with the vendor first but one of my biggest and only gripes with this site is members’ reluctance to have fair, open, and critical discussions about site vendors. Obviously many longtime members/customers have abnormally close relationship with the vendors that tend to occur within small marketplaces for niche products and leads them to want to defend vendors from slander.

This is truly an awesome thing and I’ve seen it executed perfectly and politely on here before when a member has been frustrated at a vendor and decided to react poorly to an issue they’ve had. I’ve also seen numerous instances of members reacting to criticism (some just some unjust) of a vendor like an English mob who’ve just cornered someone accused of spitting on the queen.

I’ve heard the same exact criticisms of some vendors from various members who don’t feel comfortable with expressing their issues publicly due to the response they’ve seen others receive. This reluctance not only hurts other members who now cannot make fully informed buying decisions but also the vendors who may not have been aware of the issue or the negative perception of them or their product and thus cannot fix it.

My point is, ensuring members feel comfortable with discussing the good, the bad, and the ugly, openly and without fear of undue criticism is a great thing that will only make this marketplace better for everyone.
 
A watched pot never boils....

I remember when I was a little kid and I first heard this phrase and I thought to myself “well golly, that just doesn’t make scientific sense.” So I decided that I had to test it - and that I would watch a pot of boiling water! The major problem was that I didn’t have a working stove at my time at my house so I decided to go to the neighbors next door.

I walked over and knocked on the door. I asked the next-door neighbor if I would be able to boil a pot of water. She said, “sure, no problem.” I first asked to borrow a pot. “Sure, no problem.” I then asked if I could fill it with water. “Sure, no problem.” I then asked if I could put the pot on a stove. “Sure, no problem.” I then asked if I could turn the stove on. She looked at me strangely and then leaned in to my ear to whisper....

”I need about tree fiddy.” At this point, I realized that this woman was an 8 story tall crustacean from the Paleozoic era. The god-damned Loch-Ness monster had tricked me again!

I.... I love you.
 
We were beating a dead horse and I missed the thread all day...not even an @ @Josh Kifer? Gahhhhh.

Also, I bought CCs and paid for labels as one of my first purchases back during Genes blowout sale. Still haven’t even started a design for these. Not sure if that’s patience or procrastination though...

I let you down, so now you know what it feels like to be one of my parents.
 
@Jeevansluck don't let the haters get you down. Here's a post I wrote on another thread but think it still plays well here:

This has nothing to do with haters. He was given a timeline from Chris, and before the time even arrives he's bitching about having to wait. So now what, Chris is supposed to make everyone else wait to get the order out to the most impatient customer?

@Gear provides an awesome service, which we should be thankful for. The last thing he should have to do is apologize for having a long wait list. Don't like it, fine, go to some big box store and buy your crap there.

I don't mind calling out bullshit when I see, and that's what @Jeevansluck posts reeked of. All that's required is a little friggin' patience.

In our .25/.50 games, a $3.50 bet will illicit much reaction from the table and we have dubbed it the Loch-Ness monster lol in honor of South Park.
 
Could you use the JACK design and change the name?
Love it. After this long here, the only thing I’m still a little fuzzy on is what’s allowed and not allowed with labels. I’ve searched the site and read a bunch, but occasionally I see conflicting information or labels in direct conflict with general rules.

But this would still take a designer yeah? I’d prefer to use J5 or PWoody, but they’re both months out and if I wait that long I might as well do a full custom label.

Well if we learned anything today. If someone is months out and before said months, don't post about it.
