Title: Navigating the Seas of Car Shipping: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction: Shipping a car can seem like a daunting task, whether you're relocating across the country or purchasing a vehicle from a distant seller. The logistics involved, coupled with the apprehension of entrusting your valuable asset to a third party, can make the process overwhelming. However, armed with the right knowledge and understanding, shipping a car can be a smooth and stress-free experience. In this guide, we'll delve into the world of Car Shipping covering everything from preparation and choosing a carrier to understanding costs and ensuring a safe delivery.

Preparation: Before diving into the process of shipping your car, it's essential to prepare it adequately. Start by thoroughly cleaning both the interior and exterior of the vehicle. This not only ensures a presentable appearance upon arrival but also allows for a detailed inspection to note any pre-existing damages. Documenting the condition of your car through photographs is crucial for insurance purposes and resolving disputes in case of any damage during transit.

Choosing a Carrier: One of the most critical decisions you'll make when shipping your car is selecting a reliable carrier. Research various auto transport companies, read reviews, and obtain multiple quotes to compare services and prices. Ensure that the carrier is licensed, bonded, and insured, providing you with the necessary protection and peace of mind throughout the shipping process. Additionally, consider factors such as shipping methods (open transport vs. enclosed transport) and delivery options (door-to-door vs. terminal-to-terminal) based on your preferences and budget.

Understanding Costs: The cost of shipping a car can vary depending on several factors, including the distance, vehicle size, shipping method, and time of year. Generally, longer distances and larger vehicles incur higher shipping costs, while factors such as seasonal demand and fuel prices can also impact prices. Request detailed quotes from prospective carriers, ensuring transparency regarding any additional fees or surcharges. While it may be tempting to opt for the cheapest option, prioritize reliability and quality of service to safeguard your vehicle.

Ensuring a Safe Delivery: Once you've selected a carrier and finalized the shipping arrangements, take necessary precautions to ensure a safe delivery. Remove all personal belongings from the car, including valuables and aftermarket accessories, to prevent damage or theft during transit. Disable any alarm systems and ensure that the gas tank is only partially filled to reduce weight and minimize potential hazards. Communicate with the carrier throughout the shipping process, staying informed about the progress and estimated delivery date of your vehicle.

Conclusion: Shipping a car doesn't have to be a daunting task when approached with preparation, research, and vigilance. By following the steps outlined in this guide and working with a reputable auto transport company, you can navigate the seas of car shipping with confidence and peace of mind. Whether you're relocating to a new city or purchasing a vehicle from afar, a smooth and stress-free shipping experience awaits you on the horizon.

"Deadpool and Wolverine": queercoding analysis of Poolverine in the movie

// SPOILERS

//Disclaimer: This is NOT a hate post to Vanessa/Wade shipp, but if you ship them, this post is probably not for you.

I've seen a few queerbaiting allegations and, frankly, don't agree with them. Now I'll explain why.

Starting with the fact that movie begins as a typical reasoning for a character to get a new love interest: we find out Wade and Vanessa broke up after roughly 7-8 years together.

Either we don't know (or I just don't remember lol) for how long they've been separate, but it was enough time for Vanessa to get in a new relationship.

And we know that the reason for this breakup is the core differences between the two. In the previous movie they wanted to get a child and Wade's entire motivation was based around Vanessa. In this movie tho, it seems like even if Wade is still not completely over breakup, he seems to be compliant with the fact they are not together anymore. You would expect Wade to go and do something silly to Nessa's new guy, but he doesn't. He respects her decidion.

Wade has more of an existentioal crisis than just hurting from the breakup. So I would assume he's not over because he feels like he messed up and keeps giving sad puppy eyes holding on this romantic relationship with Vanessa. Tho they are still soulmates and friends no matter what.

I don't know about you, but for me this exposition doesn't look like a foreshadowing of Vanessa and Wade getting back together. Vanessa is happy and self-actualised on her own, even if Wade is not.

I don't see Wade trying to change as an act of trying to get back with Vanessa. He reacts like this because his family member pointed out his flaws.

Secondly, the only other "hints" for a relationship between Wade and Vanessa is him remembering how they kissed and in the end Vanessa holding Wade's hand. Which, let me point out, is not a typical trope to show characters are back together. You know what's typical? A KISS! Which never happened btw.

Not to be this person, but we all know Disney/Marvel haven't got the balls to show a canon queer relationship. So the only "hints" for Vanessa/Wade seem to either read as platonic, or purely as an attempt of Disney to be like !look! female love interest!.

Now, other important part. If you really think about it, referencing the first part of the post, the movie follows an enemies-to lovers romantic movie formula:

(optional) breakup with previous partner;

annoyance first (previous deadpool movies);

admiration upon actual meeting (even if Wade acts cocky, when you listen to him telling the story about how his universe's Logan saved Laura, you can clearly see he adores the hero, who, as we know, is relatively similar throughout multiverse. Wade knows this Logan has the same morals as other ones, hearing how he regrets not being able to help his x-men);

"having to" go on an adventure/quest together even tho they are annoyed at each other;

enemies bickering and fighting because they have differences (which are actually similarities between the two which drive them insane when they see this mirroring);

the breaking point and confrontation (the Logan monologue in the car scene);

*the close proximity tention* hate fucking as a spicy way to get over the argument (in the car scene they are shown to fight just for the sake of letting out steam);

the cold period when characters ignore each other because they are still pissed (when Laura got the two to her base);

getting over it and working together, trusting that the other got their back;

saving the world with the power of love brotherhood with romantic soundtrack on;

both staying alive and having a heart-to-heart conversation;

one wants to leave, but the other stops them (usually it would be followed up with a kiss but oh well);

officially meeting a parental figure of one of the characters and moving in together as in an established relationship.

I don't think I'm delusional if I say I haven't seen brotherhood media (ones without queerbaiting or actual siblings) that would follow this formula. But I did see romantic storylines.

All in all, Wade and Logan go through a development and establishment of a relationship. And I'm not even talking about the obvious "one being there when other lost everything and giving them a new family and home".

In the movie there are so many romantic tropes of these CANONICALLY QUEER CHARACTERS, which make it safe to assume that queercoding is in fact happening. I would argue about it if both of them were straight in the source material, but this is the best and most important part, they are not :)

And this is why "Deadpool & Wolverine" is actually a romcom. Thank you for reading!

Okay okay okay Barbie 2023 theory:

It's been established at this point that Margot Barbie is the main Barbie in her world, whether she knows it or not. Obviously, she's the main character, but she's also the central Barbie. She's the one hosting the party, she's the one that's got a spotlight on her, and she's also the one who looks most like classic Barbie, hell, she's the only blonde Barbie other than Kate McKinnon Barbie (I may make a post about thoughts I have on that at somepoint) but I think that her leaving Barbieland will cause some kind of power conflict: and I think that the Kens will try and rise up to take power.

In this pic, we can see that when Barbie is leaving, it says Barbieland,

But here it says Kendom!

Also, it appears that Allen, Alexandra Shipp Barbie, and another Barbie that I can't tell the identity of are in the car, as opposed to Margot Barbie and Ryan Ken like I had thought, but I'll get back to that later.

(Also, as far as I'm aware, no one else has pointed out the Kendom thing! I may have just missed something though)

I think that the Kens will possibly succeed in taking over, leading to the previously seen Barbie flags:

To become the Ken banners seen here:

And I think this will somehow lead up to the big Ken beach fight, which I think will happen if Ryan Ken and Margot Barbie return to Barbieland, as we see him and Simu Ken fighting (doing some weird?? Glitter thing?? Idk) here:

And I think there may be some espionage here, with this scene showing Barbie and America Ferrara's character seemingly sneaking around with the other Barbies seen in the car (and Allen) headed towards the "Kendom" earlier (seemingly in Barbieland, if the colors are to be believed)

TLDR: I think that once Margot Barbie and Ryan Ken leave, there will be a Ken uprising.

Or maybe I'm losing my mind over the like 6 minutes of content we have idk

New 2025 Commission Information

Commission Information and Terms of Service

Information on Artist.

I started my plush work in 2013. I have worked hard on developing my style and process over the years. I create my embroidery and patterns from scratch, so everything I make is one of a kind. I do not sell my patterns because they are not normal and only I can understand how they come together. I live in West Virginia, USA. I can ship all over the country and internationally. I live in a dog, bird, and reptile friendly home. I love anime/manga, superhero movies/tv/comics, horror movies, animals, art, and making plushies.

My Plush Work

I work with minky fabric since it’s the highest quality I can use to make my work the best quality possible. I can also use faux furs, long pile minky, mochi fabric, fleece, and cotton if needed (or requested). I use upholstery thread when sewing my plush together. The thread is incredibly strong and the chances of pieces coming apart are very low. If they do come apart (very uncommon), just message me and I will fix and reinforce the piece.

My work is considered “art”, not factory produced for the general public. This means that they are unique and special, but it also means they are not really meant to be handled roughly, crushed, and/or given to very small children. They are pretty durable since they are plush, but any material can wear over time when they are over “loved” (lol). Taking them on adventures, and carrying them around is totally welcomed, just please go easy on the tug and pull <3

Ordering a Plush

Please feel free to reach out to me through Twitter (X), Tumblr, Instagram, or Facebook. I do my best to answer as soon as possible, but you are welcome to message again in case I have not replied after a few days. (I can get busy with the Plush Business, my full-time job, and taking care of my pets.)

Let me know what you are looking to have made. (I can make humans, animals, creatures, cars, robots etc.) Let me know what size and style you are thinking of and if there is a certain time you would like to have it made by. (It normally takes about 2-4 weeks, it depends on if I need to order anything specific.) Please provide images if possible (if you want something unique and only have a description, I can do a rough concept of the character for you, or if you would like to commission me to do art of the character, please feel free to request it). Once I have this information, I will give you a price quote. The quote will only be for the plush, this will not include the shipping or taxes. If you agree to the price, I will request an email from you and will send an invoice. It will list all the details for the transaction, including shipping and tax. The invoice is through PayPal Goods and Services, so we are both protected.

Once the payment is made, you are added to the queue. Before I start on the plush, I will create a concept for it. In this stage (and only in this stage) you are welcome to make any updates to the design. (For example: preferring a different color, wanting the eyes to be bigger, not wanting a certain part included etc.) I will do my best to get as close to the concept as possible. It will never be exact, but I do normally get really close. After the concept is finished, I will share fabric colors to ensure they are right.

Once everything is approved, I will create the pattern and embroidery files. Next, I will embroider the fabric and cut out the pattern. Finally, I will sew the plush together and share the final plush in our communication. I will need you to share the preferred name and address for the shipment. Once this information is provided, I will pack up the plush and send it out. I will provide the tracking when it is on its way.

Shipping the Plush

My standard shipping is first-class and using a waterproof bubble mailer envelope. This keeps the shipping as low as possible. ($7 within the US, $25 International)

For 2025, I am offering priority and over-night shipping (overnight only available in US). I am also offering the option to ship within a box instead of a bubble mailer. These options will be much higher prices and can be discussed while setting up the commission.

Please note, once I ship a plush and provide a tracking number. It is out of my hands.

Canceling a Commission

You have 1 week after ordering to cancel a commission. If I ordered materials for the project, it will be deducted from the total.

If a plush is not correct (and it is due to my mistake), I can grant a full refund. Unless I am able to fix the issue. The mistake would be due to me not using the correct color fabric, missing an important detail from the concept etc. Just not liking a plush or deciding you don’t want to pay for a plush once it is made are not valid reasons. I have various examples of my work and before commissioning me, please review my pages to make sure you like my style and quality.

Final Note

I am more than happy to work with someone to make a plush they can afford and love. Since all of my plush are custom and I make all the patterns and embroidery, I can make adjustments easily. For example, I can make the plush smaller and contain less details. I will be happy to explain what parts are causing the higher price and we can work out other options. I believe PayPal has options to make multiple payments too, so I can still get full payment and you wont need to pay in full right away.

Thank you for reading!! I hope I can bring your favorite characters to life 😊

Runaway - Lloyd x Valerie (oc) chapter 1

disclaimer: this is inspired by my 90s au, which does have a main story line, however I decided to tell it in a non linear way as I make things up (yeah not a smart move, I know). if you wish to know more about my ninjago 90s au before reading this, you can check the tag #n90sau in my blog! I may or may not come back here to correct spelling mistakes!

Valerie is an oc I shipp with Lloyd, you can check her character sheet for the og universe here! the only things that change in this au is that she isn't an assassin or a gang member and neither a werewolf, just a regular punk teen in the 90s.

also, i think it's my first time writing in english (not counting any translation i did), so i'm sorry for the spelling and gramatical errors! i also tend to mix british and american spelling. sorry again.

special thanks to @prii-arts for helping me with some of the writing!

-------------------------------

summary: Lloyd and Valerie are running away after having arguments with their parents, both arguments somewhat related to their partner. However, they discover living like adults isn't easy, and Lloyd has been having a ton of nightmares lately...

-------------------------------

It had been a while none of them said something, either asking each other if they were fine or asking something about the fights. Some music played on his car's radio, it was a random Sex Pistol's song Lloyd didn't know the name of. Or maybe he did, but he was too busy focusing on the road ahead swollen by the dark of the night to think about it. Besides the car lights, the only thing illuminating their way to –what they have been calling– “whatever” was the silver shine of the full moon above them.

He was afraid of looking at the passenger's seat for a few moments now. Not because he might crash into something, no, they were in the middle of the desert, afterall. The thing is, Valerie was sitting there, quiet. Too quiet. As someone who always had something to say about anything, even when she shouldn't, she was too quiet, just hugging her legs under a ball gown, gazing at the shining stars in the dark sky. A quiet Valerie was never a good thing. Whenever she was like this, there would be a cold and heavy thing in the air. 

It was understandable if she still was angry, though. Lloyd was waiting for her inside his car when the yelling started. It was muffled and he could only see them through the living room's window. They always gestured as they spoke, but this time, both of their movements were quick, stiff and violent. He had to hold himself back from going in there whenever the mother's hands came too close to hitting his girlfriend –by accident or not. When it was over, Valerie stomped out the front door with a bag full of clothes in one hand and a guitar case in the other, turning back to yell as if she was holding back tears that she wouldn't be back. Once in the car, she gave a brief explanation of the obvious: “we fought”. It was over something stupid again, but she refused to elaborate more than that, saying she would rather talk about it later, when she would be less exasperated. 

So he didn't ask anything about it for the past hour until that moment, even if bothered by her poorly filled silence. Lloyd finally realized he had been so distracted with all the thoughts about that night that he didn't notice the song had changed long ago.

“What?” Valerie finally asked, not moving her head from the window view.

Quickly, he turned his head to the road again.

“Nothing”.

“You're starring".

“No, I'm not. I'm driving, how could I?”

“Because you are. Well… were” She turned her face to him, finally, staring at him with her sky blue eyes and bored expression.

Valerie crossed her legs and raised her head, now staring at the ceiling of the car. She let her arms lazily fall on her lap; on her wrist, along with some bracelets, there was a corsage of blue and yellow flowers he gave her earlier that night. “Do you wanna talk about it?”

"... I mean, I don't want to force you, or anything.” He shrugged. “But it's okay if you don't, really.”

“Thanks…” She sighed, looking back to the window, frowning a bit. However, she quickly looked at him, one brow raised. “Do you… wanna talk about yours, then?"

Lloyd breathed deeply, holding it as he pondered the idea. 

While her fight was a mystery to him, his… could be perceived as worse, somehow. Thinking about it made Lloyd feel some anger flourish in his chest; just thinking about how they could be so wrong on so many levels about her would make his blood boil in his veins. Sure, his parents were right about one thing amongst all the annoying assumptions, but he was completely sure Valerie would never do what his ex did… She wouldn't, right?

“No” he finally answered, letting out his breath. "Not now, at least".

Valerie stayed quiet for a few seconds.

“Alrighty, then…" she mumbled.

“By the way, Val, um… do you perhaps know where we're going?”

She blinked her eyes slowly, raising her thin eyebrows in shock.

“I thought you did".

“Why did you think that?”

“‘Cause you simply started driving!” She exclaimed, waving her hands to the road.

“I thought you would come up with something!” He started laughing, nervously and loudly. 

Valerie puffed, grabbing a piece of her bangs and squeezing it in frustration. But she couldn't help but also laugh at the situation, cracking in mere seconds of hearing his laugh.

“Shit, we can't even run away properly…” she tried speaking amidst the laugh.

“It's… It's okay” he breathed, containing his laugh but still smiling. “But we can't keep on going like this".

“Do you have a map, or anything?”

“No, sorry”.

She sighed melancholically. 

“... Okay, we might need to spend the night in your car, then" She crossed her arms.

“We could also ask for directions to some motel, y'know…”

She turned her head to him.

“To whom, Lloyd?” She pointed outside with her hand.

Oh. That's true. We're in a desert. “I don't know".

“Now I'm thinking that staying over with my brother wouldn't be a bad idea…"

“I'm not turning back” He stated, giving her a quick look before turning to the dark road again.

“Didn't ask you to! Just really regretting not doing it". Valerie looked away. “Sorry, it's just that we've been here for an hour now, I bet you're tired too… Anyway, it was my idea running away, so let me come up with something…”

Finding a motel was their main option, especially because they had no idea where to go, and  Ignacia or Ninjago City weren't an option, since they were trying to leave those places behind forever. They needed somewhere to restart, but where? Not Stix, definitely not Stix. She had heard good things about the Kingdom of Shintaro by that time, maybe that could be an option. The idea of living in Jamanakai Village didn't sound like the end of the world, but they might still need to go back to the city to find jobs and to buy some things. 

But she was thinking too much ahead. She had time to think about this later, but it wouldn't be so long until it was the time to actually think about it. Okay, okay, okay, think, Val! She reminded herself. It was the highway, probably wouldn't take long before they found something like a convenience store or a diner to ask for directions. Not exactly directions, more like a recommendation of where they could sleep that night, be it a camping spot or a straight up motel. She was hoping for a diner, because her stomach had been growling for the past hours since the dance ended. 

“Do you think it'll take long before we find a diner?” She finally asked as she played with the flowers on her corsage.

“Did you forget to eat again?” Lloyd raised an eyebrow.

"... Maybe" She crossed her arms again, looking to the side.

“Dunno” he sighed. “Probably not long. I mean, how long have we been…”

“Oh, look over there!” She bent onward, pointing to the colourful billboard of a dinner.

He parked the car, and if she wasn't on hills, he was sure Valerie would've probably run inside the place. However, she quickly made her way towards him, taking his warm hand with a sweet smile on her face while he adjusted his suit. On the lapel, there was a green rose made of sattin she gave him earlier.

“So, did you come up with anything?” Lloyd asked as he chewed a piece of his burger.

They decided to eat inside the car while listening to some songs in a cassette they found lost in there. His car was a secondhand from the 80s, so who knows to whom it belonged to. It had mostly city pop songs, and each time it changed Valerie would sing along while jamming to it. Whoever it belonged to, the playlist wasn't bad. 

“Nope”. She covered her mouth as she chewed, looking away squinting her eyes. “I mean– Yeah, I did come up with a few ideas, but none are good". 

“Tell me anyway, they can't all be bad. I can give you some ideas too".

Valerie took a long sip of her soda cup.

“Okay, so, I heard good stuff about Shintaro. We could go there, maybe?” She raised an eyebrow, gesturing with the hand holding the cup.

“Kinda too far away from here… Maybe someday, but not now.”

“Hm, suppose you're right… I thought about Stix, but…”

“The only job there is fishing” Both said at the same time, nodding. 

Lloyd sighed.

"There's also Jamanakai Village" Valerie mentioned.

“Not a bad idea. But we might need to go to the city to buy… Well, anything".

“That's why I wasn't considering it that much…” Valerie hugged her knees again.

“What else?” He asked, taking some of their shared fries.

“Stay around here until we think of something better”.

He stayed quiet for a few seconds, looking around. With another sigh, he said: “I don't think we have any other option. But hey, it isn't bad. As long as we find a place to stay, we might be able to keep our jobs in the city…”

“Yes, it's easier… But I really didn't want to stay" She took another sip. "Especially because they are part time. We need cash if we're living on our own now".

“We don't have the option to go so far away, y'know… Nor have the experience for full time jobs. I mean, would you hire a seventeen year old full time?”.

“No, but it doesn't make it less disappointing, though”. Valerie frowned, putting her cup down. Seconds ago there seemed to be many doors for many different futures, but now all of those have closed.

He furrowed his eyebrows in worry, looking at her eyes; they were more shiny. Was she really holding back tears again? Of course she is, he thought to himself. Her gaze met his and it was like the shine disappeared in a second, giving up space for a grin.

“But it's okay, seriously” she bent over towards him. “I'm happy to be with you at least". She whispered.

Slowly, he leaned over closing his eyes and kissed her, not caring if her dark red lipstick would get on his lips.

criticism is welcomed! I really want to better my writing in english, specially because I know I can write better than this. This was also the first time I wrote Valerie in a super long time, so I really hope you liked her!

Day two of Old man doctor yaoi summer 2024!! Plus, birthday special!!!!!

Prompt: Wedding

Word count: 675

Art form: fanfic

Song: Futile Divides - Sufjan Stevens

A/N: I recommend looking at the song, as it kinda sets the vibe, plus it's so Hilson coded it's insane, so like yeahhh- I also wrote this in the car so if it's shit I apologise. 😔

Quick thing, if anyone wants to post these on ao3, I'd be happy if you message me and give me credit to them- I want other people to see my work honestly, so if anyone wants to, drop me a DM <3

The crowd filtered to the side of the dance floor, all looking eagerly at the two men who made their way to the middle of the people. They looked each other, holding their hands together and soaking in the atmosphere.

"Is your leg okay? It's only two minutes, " Wilson asked, cocking his head slightly while his face softened.

"Yes, yes. I wouldn't miss this for the world, Wilson, " House explained.

Wilson smiled and placed his hands over Housed shoulders, crossing them at the back. House placed his hands on Wilsons waist, trying to lean on him a bit, Wilson let him.

Then the music started to play.

It was slow and sweet as they started to sway side to side. The crowd cheered, all smiling at the couple, some already taking videos and pictures.

"It's been a long, long time since I've memorized your face. "

Wilson placed his forehead to Houses, feeling sparks come off of the man as House smiled. Wilson let a tear roll down one of his cheeks, sniffing as he chuckled a laugh.

"It's been four hours now since I've wandered through your place. "

Chase wiped a few years from his cheeks, as thirteen stood next to him with an arm around his shoulders, crying too. Taught stood with his wife, holding her hand as he faught back tears of his own. Both Park and Masters stood together in their dorky dresses, looking in awe at the couple. Adams was with Foreman, Cameron stood next to them who was sobbing.

"And when I sleep on your couch, I feel very safe, " Wilson whispered, just so House could hear.

House stifled a laugh, pulling Wilson closer.

"And when you bring the blankets I cover up my face."  Wilson looked deeply into Houses eyes.

"I do love you. "

"I do love you. "

They continued to sway to the music, absorbing the crowds sobs and awh's. Wilson kept ahold of House, careful of his leg, and tightening his arms and bringing him ever so closer - if that possible. It was truly a beautiful scene. Wilson gently connected their lips, kissing House slowly, tenderly and chaste. House moved his hands up Wilsons sides and to his jaw, cradling Wilsons face. The crowd cheered at the action, some people crying even more at the domestic scene. Wilson pulled away.

"When you play guitar, I listen to the strings buzz, " Wilson muttered, grinning ear to ear.

House gulped nervously, giving Wilson a wonky smile as he blushed like a schoolgirl. Wilson chuckled, placing his head on Houses chest.

"The metal vibrates underneath your fingers. "

Wilson pulled himself together and looked at his blushing husband, and smiled brightly. House couldn't help himself, he let out a cheerful sob as several tears fall down his cheeks. Wilson took one of his hands and wiped them away with a soft look, appreciating the vulnerability of House.

"When you crotchet I feel mesmerised and proud. "

"We should've changed that line to write files, " House mumbled with a giggle.

"You're right, " Wilson replied.

"And I would say I love you, but saying it out loud, " House sung. "It's hard so I won't say it all. "

"Oh honey, " Wilson cooed, his eyes filling with tears again.

"I love you, " House blurted.

It was like a spotlight was on them, the crowd wasn't there. It was them and them only.

"Are you sure your leg is okay? "

"Yes. Please, stop worrying, it's our night tonight. "

"And I won't stay very long. "

Chase pulled out his phone, finally starting to film, but Rachel Taub had smartly filmed the whole thing - mainly Taubs idea as he shipped them even when he met Wilson after House. Thirteen had been taking photos with her camera, same with Cameron.

"But you are the life I needed all along, " they sang in unison, both crying.

"I think of you as my- "

"LOVER! " They both shouted with a chuckle.

The crowd fell in a fit of cheers and laughter at their joke.

"Although that sounds dumb,

And words are futile devices. "

Title: Navigating the Roads: A Guide to Car Transportation

Introduction: Transporting a car from one place to another can be a daunting task, whether you're moving to a new city, buying a car from a distant seller, or relocating for a temporary period. Fortunately, there are various methods available for car transportation, each with its own advantages and considerations. In this guide, we'll explore these options to help you make an informed decision about how to transport your vehicle safely and efficiently.

Drive It Yourself: The most traditional method of Car Transportation is simply driving it yourself. While this option provides a sense of control and flexibility, it may not be practical for long distances or if you're moving multiple vehicles. Additionally, driving long distances can lead to wear and tear on your car and may not be feasible if you're short on time.

Professional Auto Transport Services: Professional auto transport services offer a convenient and efficient solution for transporting your car over long distances. These companies specialize in vehicle transportation and have the expertise and equipment to ensure your car arrives safely at its destination. When choosing an auto transport service, be sure to research and compare quotes from different companies to find one that fits your budget and needs.

Open vs. Enclosed Transport: When using professional auto transport services, you'll have the option of choosing between open and enclosed transport. Open transport involves transporting your car on an open-air trailer, while enclosed transport provides additional protection by placing your car in an enclosed trailer. While open transport is generally more affordable, enclosed transport offers greater protection against weather, road debris, and other hazards.

Considerations for Shipping: If you're considering shipping your car internationally or across long distances, there are additional considerations to keep in mind. Make sure to research customs regulations, import/export taxes, and any documentation required for transporting your car to another country. You'll also need to prepare your car for shipping by removing personal belongings, securing loose items, and ensuring it's in good working condition.

DIY Methods: For shorter distances or if you prefer a DIY approach, there are alternative methods of car transportation you can consider. Renting a car trailer or car dolly allows you to tow your car behind another vehicle, such as a truck or RV. Additionally, some shipping companies offer container shipping services that allow you to transport your car in a shipping container alongside other belongings.

Conclusion: Transporting a car doesn't have to be a stressful experience with the variety of options available today. Whether you choose to drive it yourself, hire a professional auto transport service, or explore DIY methods, the key is to plan ahead and research your options to find the best solution for your needs and budget. By taking the time to consider factors such as distance, cost, and level of protection, you can ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience when transporting your vehicle to its destination.

Il est 23:55 il est donc encore techniquement french friday

Depuis quand est-ce que tu ship lysandre et platane?

Qu'est-ce qui t'a fait les shipper? Les jeux? L'animé? Les fanart/fanfics?

pardon chèr-e ami-e anonyme j'étais en train d'écrire donc je vois cet ask un peu tardivement mais on va dire que le french friday continue juste le temps d'écrire cette réponse—

je shippe lysandre et platane depuis le tout début 🥲 je faisais partie du noyau originel du fandom tumblr en vrai. mais pour donner une vraie chronologie... quand j'ai vu la scène au café lysandre où tu parles aux deux et platane dit qu'il est chaud comme la braise etc. j'avais fait la blague à mon ex pdt qu'on parlait du jeu (SUR SKYPE la belle époque <- non) que je pourrais les shipper (car il faut bien le dire ils sont gays dans cette scène) je crois même que j'avais fait mon premier dessin d'eux à ce moment-là ou pas loin ? mais sur le moment j'étais en mode bon j'ai jamais vrmt rien shippé hardcore dans pokémon (j'aimais bien eusine et mortimer mais normal tu vois) donc bon c'est rigolo mais voilà tranquille,

et puis euh bah j'ai battu la team flare et ma vie a été changée à jamais (je me dis vrmt premier degré j'exagère à peine) ET UNE SEMAINE après j'ai repris le jeu (oui j'ai arrêté de jouer pendant une semaine c'était à ce point gravissime) et direct platane m'appelle pour qu'on se voit et il s'excuse pour lysandre etc et à partir de la j'étais perdu à jamais en fait 🧍‍♂️

(c'est marrant parce que je comptais en parler vis-à-vis de ma dernière bd mais je le ferais en anglais je pense)

donc bah clairement les jeux ptdr, j'avoue que jusqu'à la révolution via pokémon masters toutes les autres versions m'ont laissé de marbre, l'anime on a attendu des années pour qu'au final ils se connaissent même pas et se parlent une fois 💀 le manga c'était un peu mieux mais ils ont pas grand chose non plus, lysandre a plus de background etc. avec dianthéa ironiquement...

je me dis qu'au final c'est pas étonnant que pokémas ait ranimé tous mes pires vers, vrmt on nous a nourri à nouveau pour la première fois depuis 2013, tu m'étonnes que j'ai enfin pu finir ma fic inachevée depuis 8 ans—

bref voilà j'espère que cette réponse te satisfait ptdr !!!!!!!!! merci !!!!!!!!

This is an excerpt from a draft of one of my memoirs.

———

In the early 1970’s, I had dreams of getting out of New York City and moving to Atlanta.

I heard so much about ATL. It was a growing Mecca, favorable to Black enterprise. All of the magazine articles pinpointed Atlanta as the place to be for young folks. It was particularly attractive to young Black college graduates.

I was newly out in the world completely on my own, just back from four years in the Air Force. Putting all of life’s pieces together in NYC was a struggle for me. Rent was high. Car insurance, groceries, and even cleaning my clothes were big ticket budget items. I was keeping up with the struggle, but had to have a room-mate. I certainly couldn’t afford a place of my own.

I loved working Kennedy Tower. Controlling fast paced and high volume domestic and International flights was a point of pride. I loved mastering the complexity of Kennedy Airport’s runways and taxiways. The accents on the radios of pilots from literally all over the world had become familiar. The rhythm of rotating hours of shift work was starting to gel. Other than the senior controllers repeatedly screwing up my days off, I found a good fit.

But I kept hearing about Atlanta, and I liked what I was hearing. I had scattered dreams of quitting my ATC job and moving to Atlanta as a flight instructor.

My sister was a recent graduate of Fisk University, in Tennessee. She decided to stay in the south. She and her college roommate chose Atlanta.

My first visit there opened my eyes to an entirely different galaxy of life. The most visible parts of the city were vibrant. New modern construction was all over the city. Entertainment was everywhere. Black folks were thriving, or appearing to thrive like I had seen no where else in my life. Rent was half what I paid in New York, and the apartments were much better appointed.

As soon as I could build enough flight time to become a flight instructor I would move to Atlanta. I found where I wanted to be.

While there I visited the control tower at Atlanta’s Hartsfield Airport. The first person I saw when I got off of the elevator happened to be the tower chief, as they called air traffic managers back then. The chief was amused by my interest in the what they did in the control tower and radar room there.

He took me on a tour and introduced me to a few controllers. He was surprised by some of the questions I asked the controllers.

“You have been reading quite a bit about ATC, it seems.”

“Yes sir, I had to study a lot, to get certified at Kennedy Tower.”

“YOU are a controller? At JFK in New York?”

“Yes. I have four years of Air Force air traffic experience, and just last week I completed my training as a full performance level controller at JFK.”

“Really?!!”

He told me Atlanta airport had plans to grow tenfold. I assumed tenfold was an exaggeration. As it turned out over the years, it was no exaggeration at all.

That was when the chief of possibly the most sort after ATC facility in the nation, looked me in the eye and said, “We’ve never had a Black air traffic controller here.”

I think we both knew then that that was about to change. If it wasn’t me, some other controller of color would soon be selected to work in his growing facility.

The chief’s name was Lester Shipp. After he grilled me about my experience and knowledge for over an hour, Mr. Shipp told me who to send my paperwork to. He told me of four people I needed to stay in contact with, and how often to contact them about the progress of my transfer request.

I appreciated him being cordial to a starry-eyed kid, but I knew it was a useless exercise. No one transferred out of the Eastern Region in those days. And no one leaves JFK tower, other than to fill a vacancy in Hangar 11 which was the NY Terminal Radar Control room, aka the Common-I; colloquially known as "the room". Hundreds of controllers around the country wanted to transfer to the Southern Region. And Atlanta Tower took only the most experienced controllers from other facilities. It was well known that the Southern Region was in the build from within mode. So anyone transferring into ATL traditionally came from other Southern Region facilities. That was just how things were done. I was an outsider in more ways than one. My best avenue to Atlanta was to take a pay cut and become a flight instructor at one of the small airports in the area.

I put my papers in anyway. I called the people Mr. Shipp said to call, and asked them to please look out for my transfer request. Then I forgot about it. Living in Atlanta, having my own place, socializing in a hip progressive environment was the plot of a fairytale, but in real life it was only a dream. But I did follow Mr. Ship’s suggestion, and checked-in with the four people on his list from time to time. I looked at it like going to the bookie to play a long shot on the numbers; the precursor to the legal lottery.

Slowly flight time toward my commercial pilots license grew. I periodically flew friends to Atlantic City, upstate New York, Connecticut, and Boston to increase my time in the air.

I continued to build a life in the giant city that never sleeps. I made new friends, one of whom became my best friend for the next 45 years. I started hanging around the radio station where my new friends worked. They were informally training me to become a disc jockey. I thought that was a good way to meet women. I was part of the radio station’s entourage when the DJ’s and lead engineer hit the night clubs.

Even when I worked until 11 o’clock at night, the “in-crowd” was just getting out to the clubs. Every night was a social event.

I was getting into the rhythm of the city when one day at work I was called to the chief’s office, on tenth floor. No controller liked be summoned to the tenth floor. The chief and a couple of staff members were in his office. None of them looked happy. I couldn’t imagine what I had done. I could remember no unusual incident with any flights. I had no disagreements with fellow controllers, so the long faces of this group were puzzling.

At the time, Kennedy Tower’s chief’s name was Art. He was normally a jovial guy. That day was different.

“Dave, I believe you know we are short-staffed, on nearly every shift.”

“Yes, believe me, I feel that”, I said. I couldn’t remember making any requests for time off. Although, a week prior I did take a sick day. With my lousy seniority sick leave was the only way I could get a needed day off. I doubted these guys could prove I wasn’t sick; unless they saw me going into the radio station; which was in Harlem. In those days I was certain these guys weren’t up in Harlem.

“Dave, I would like you to withdraw your request for transfer.”

“Withdraw it? Why?”, I said. I was certain that no one was taking this rookie’s Atlanta dream seriously.

“If you transfer out of the facility at your low seniority level it would cause all manner of turmoil amongst those senior to you who have been trying to get out of here for years.”

“Well, it’s not likely I would get selected for a job before any of the big guns do.”

Art, got even more stern. His eyes narrowed. He lifted a stack of papers off of his desk. “The problem is, you have already been selected by Atlanta Tower and TRACON. We can’t afford to lose you for a number of reasons. Staffing and the breach of seniority protocol are chief among them.”

New York was a big union friendly area. Seniority was a union hot-button. I was chummy enough with the local union rep to know he had a mean streak and would probably turn red in the face for hours when he got the news.

“They want me in Atlanta?”

“Yeah! And I don’t have the power to block it. You must have been talking to people in high places.”

I thought back to the four names Lester Shipp gave me to call. I had no idea who they were. I assumed they were administrative staffers working in the two regional offices. My chats with them were casual but they were in depth enough to show I knew my stuff.

Art repeated himself, “I need you to withdraw your request.”

My head was spinning. Many controllers around the country wanted to get into the laid-back Southern Region, and Atlanta was the crown jewell in the region. It was one of the most coveted air traffic positions in the country.

Art said it again, “I need you to withdraw your transfer request.”

All of this was too much. My adult life was getting into full swing in the big city I grew up in … but the dream of Atlanta once fuzzy was now coming into focus.

I looked Art straight in the eyes, ignoring the others in the room.

“Would you?”, I asked.

“Would I what?”, he wanted to know.

“If you were selected to go to Atlanta would you withdraw your request?”

He slumped back in his chair. The staffers in the room slinked against the corner bookshelf. “You know you would be leaving us with a helluva mess, don’t you?”

“Art, I didn’t create this staffing mess. It was like this when I got here. I can’t fix that.”

“And what about the seniority protocol?”

“Three times in the last two months I got my days off unfairly changed because of seniority. Sorry, the seniority policy around here is not my friend.”

Art sat up and straightened the stack of papers he had been fidgeting with.

He said, “No.”

I was confused, “What do you mean no?”

“No. If I were selected to go to Atlanta I would not withdraw my request.”

He handed me the stack of documents. The top page read, Permanent Change of Station.

_________

P.S. In my entire FAA career, Mr. Shipp is the only colleague I never called by his first name. He passed recently. He will always be Mr. Shipp to me.
