@cazzy Yep, it's sent. As soon as it powers on and connects and I get confirmation, I'll feel better.

Ton the other hand...they could juer turn their WiFi off and jack your data, assuming it's not password protected.

Exactly. And I doubt it was even connected to the hotel WiFi, my little guy was just using it to watch his Mighty Machines videos.

It's hard to stop looking at a fresh train wreck.

@sgh I just broke my large, mini max, and xl. I look forward to your generosity.

If it really happened to you, I would be the very first to offer to help. 

Brother working on his tax write offs for next year? :-)

@SGH about those tractor rides, my boy is turning 6 soon.

Brother I ride every kid in the neighborhood on my big tractor. Come on by. . .  About the only thing I enjoy as much as cooking is seeing a child happy. Bring him on by anytime.

Ohhhhh . . . . . .  now I understand why you appeal to so many on this forum

Good grief. I posted about my egg getting broke. I never asked for a damned thing other than maybe a little sympathy. When a few of you brought up the idea of making a donation fund for me I was truly touched. Thank you to those with a kind heart. It's obvious you understand how upset I am that this happened. The others who have insinuated that this was some sort of ploy to get money, well, I won't say what I'd like to, so I'll just leave it as you're wrong. As tempting as it is to accept donations since grilling season is here and now I have limited grilling resources, I wouldn't feel right. There are many people in much more need for necessities than I am for a new egg. I believe someone called it a luxury item. I'll simply have to save up some money until I can get a new one. 

Little Steven

Hey darlin', you asked for nothing. If we can get this thing set up we can probably help. You have no reason to be defensive

Best post this year - woohooo!

Yeah, I've had to laugh a few times. I can't believe all the directions this thing has gone. Lol

People:

She's going to call the mother ship and see if she can get a replacement part.  if not, she's going to buy the parts or a whole new egg (I would just buy the part(s)).  At that point we can help her out but there's nothing to do now to help her.  So keep calm and carry on. 

I've sent a message on their contact page. We'll see what they say. 

nolaegghead

I'd take SGH up on his offer.  He does pretty well, loves to help people, and it's like you or I buying a box of wine.  He'll probably be insulted if you don't

SGH said:

At this point I really feel sorry for the lady. She posted about her egg getting broken and some attacked her without cause or justification. Heck if my egg got broke I would certainly post it. All that is irrelevant at this point. What is relevant is that there is now a sister egghead out there without a egg. Ma'am, if the mothership does not help you out, I will. Some of us are good people that are willing to help in a time of need. Call, text or PM me and I will pay for your egg. My gift to you sister. It comes with one condition though, please do not tie your bulldog to the egg again. Tie him to a tree!!

Lol. I didn't tie him to the egg. His chain was staked several feet away. Unfortunately not far enough away. :(

Yikes!!!  I know the feeling. Same thing happened to me once.  The lid fell out of the band after a clean burn and shattered on my concrete patio.  The sound it made still sends shivers down my spine when I think about it! lol  Learned my lesson the hard way about not having the bolts cranked down to the correct torque.  Never again!

Sorry, wasn't trying to sound defensive. It just seemed like people were getting mad at each other over stuff that had nothing to do with the original post and it sounded silly. I certainly did not mean to start any arguments. I was just sad about my egg. Where else would I post about it but here? I doubt the sugar glider forum would care about my egg.

We're you able to replace just the lid?

SMITTYtheSMOKER

Yes, you can buy all parts you need. Use any parts that are still intact.

Sorry for your accident, you will get past it.

Exact same thing happened to me. They replaced mine under warranty. I was devastated when it happened for sure.

@shannonlcorum don't worry about the fighting.  Last week they were arguing about Ozark Oak.  Your thread just happen to be the catalyst today.

Its all good.  Part of the draw to this place is everyone gets lit on the weekends and fight like sibblings.  Then on Sunday they all sit down and have dinner together.

Just enjoy the show

Dyal_SC

Yes ma'am.  They shipped me a new dome under warranty. My situation was a little different though. I wasn't the one who put it together and someone installed it looser than the instructions say to have it.  In hindsight I should have made sure the bolts were cranked down until they bent like the instructions specify.

The sugar glider forum? Sounds like fun. I think NOLA is on that one

No.  I run the gerbil rescue forum.  Thanks for pegging me as an animal lover, because I am.
