OK, sorry for being so late. I got Daphne in our apartment about 1:30 or so this afternoon, but now it's almost ten at night while I write this.

I had to go out for a doctor's appointment so UPS dropped Daphne off at the office. No sweat, eh? Just pick her up presenting the note to whoever's working at the office and go on my merry way? Not so fast. Since Paula (the Leasing Manager) was out for a procedure preformed yesterday, so Fay manned the office. And to make matters worse, there seemed to be two (not intending to break Forum Rule #3) churchgoing old ladies sitting in the waiting area.

This is a sample script on how it happened:
I go into the office presenting the note left by the UPS driver and patiently wait, because Fay was in the restroom. She leaves the restroom after about twenty or thirty seconds and I present the note to her. Fay gives me the "WTF" look.
Fay: [CasperGhostboy], what's in that package?
Me: It's none of your concern, Fay.
Fay: I almost refused the package ( :!: 8O ) because I didn't like what was in that package.
Me: <grumbling> whatever....
Fay: Oh, [Casper], you know that Roderick [the maintenance guy] knows what's in that package...
Me: <thinking to myself> STFU, goddamnit!
I pick up the package and pay no mind to Fay. Right when I went to the Center Wing (there are three wings, North, Center and South--Kat and I live in the South Wing) door, Fay grabs my attention.
Fay: You need help.
Me: <thinking that it was a question> Oh, I got it. Thanks anyway.
Fay: <getting pissed and pointing to head with both hands with index fingers> No! You need psychological help! <repeats again>
I leave and elude sweeltly to the box.
Me: <after Center Wing/Office door shuts behind me> Daphne, pay her no mind...

But then after that was a bit better.

I went to the Family Dollar and got Daphne a new shirt. It's called a "Camel V-Neck" or something like that. (It was stated on my receipt.) I had already got Daphne a skort (I found out yesterday that it was a skort), and took her out of the box right at 5:45, fifteen minutes after the office officially closes, because each time I left my apartment (except to smoke), I locked the doors. I'm still waiting on the ThinkGeek shipment.

Now I'm starting to think that Small is too small for a Candy18. It fits her a bit, but the motherf***er is hard to put on! And I found out that the skort was a X-Large and it fit her nicely after tightening the included belt up a bit.

But I'm afraid also that Fay had pilfered the box and took Daphne's wig and possibly the DVD (if you included them, uch, let me know, and if not, I'll get a new wig, but please tell me that you included them so I can file a complaint with Fay's boss [Paula]!), because some of the tape was lifted off of the box and some of the box was opened. :bad-words: But since I didn't get the shipment directly from the UPS driver, so I couldn't refuse the shipment myself and file a complaint with UPS. But since Daphne was given to me by a leasing assistant who had no better things to do, all I can do is file a complaint with Frye Properties' Sara Rosario, Paula's boss, and if resolution with Paula doesn't help.

(And I didn't mean to predict it, but I wrote it that if I wasn't home and the driver put the doll at the office, I would have to put with Fay's BS unnecessarily. And it happened.)

All complaints aside, my views on a Candy18.

Cute? Damn right. Even without a wig now, she is so f***ing cute! Daphne does fit her nicely as a name! If I could, I'd like Daphne to be a brunette, because Kat's one also.

I believe that I got a regular Candy18. I tried propping Daphne up against the wall in mine and Kat's (and now Daphne's) room, she kept on falling down. Oh well, no big.

The doll is easy to dress. Just remember to get a larger size than what itsme says if you want to put a tshirt or any pullover top on your Candy18.

I got a big learning curve to deal with now, and Kat prompted me not to take pictures yet until I got a wig for Daphne. I just got a 4.1 megapixel digicam today and I'm also starting to learn that one also. I know that I have to reduce the picture size to at least 1024x768 because the longitudinal dimension is slightly over 2,000 pixels and I know that the DollAlbum wouldn't allow that, even with the little overage.

And now I have something to do with Daphne.

CasperGhostboy/CasperGhostman :mrgreen: , Kathryn :) and Daphne :lol:

Im so sorry that you had to go through that. I have also had the same thing happen to me when I lived in an apartment. And they don't care if you know that they open your stuff. They just deny it if you report them. Unfortunately, I didn't put a wig in the box. It didn't come with one, but I can send you one if you need it. I have a lot of extras lying around but just didn't think about it when I was packaging her up at the last minute. They really must have torn open the box, because I had her wrapped totally in a blanket. If I had known that you would not be around to pick her up, I would have tried to secure her more discreetly INSIDE the box so that those bastards would have had to literally rip the box apart to get to her. I thought I had put the DVD back in the box, but I looked after reading your post and sure enough, it is still on the floor where I was packaging her. I'll send that too if you want. And I think I know why she cannot stand on her own. The plastic in her leg does not go all the way down to the bottom of her foot. It stops at her ankle, so you will need to do some minor surgery if you want to fix that. Im really happy you got her in one piece, but Im still pissed that your privacy was so blatantly violated. Well, let me know if there is anything I can do. And I hope Kat is doing much better now.

Casper, Congrats on getting Daphne :D
but it's so sad that this Fay could not respect your privacy :cry:

If Fay continues to bother you about Daphne, you may want to try out one of these retorts...

- actually, she helps me become more religeous, I keep yelling "Oh God YES!"

- Truthfully, I'm into Voodoo now, and I heard the bigger the doll, the better it works. Speaking of which, I have to go pick up a (Fay's hair color) wig...

- she was a gift from my class on 'how to ignore nosey people'

- she was the cheapest pool toy I could find. Want to come swim with us later?

- Oh by the way, that camera in the box worked great! Would you like a photo of yourself?

- You know, you'd relate to other people much better if you got a doll to practice with too...

- oh right! Speaking of which, her 3 other sisters should be arriving in a few more days.

- Yes, I know I need psychological help. I can't seem to learn how to be gossiping busy-body.

Any way... hope you still enjoy Daphne!

So glad you got your Doll and you're happy. Send a photo of the receptionist B**CH and we'll all stick pins in it. (Only joking). :lol:

Enjoy.

Very funny keithAllen. You should start a new thread in the batcave with these examples, so we can all add to them. :lol:

Well, we could ALL probably use some psychological help. Not because we love dolls though.

I think people who think doll lovers need psychological help need psychological help.

Congratulations Casper.

hello casperghostboy , well one thing you will find out no matter who's doll you have is all sizes of clothes are not the same , i see some clothes that says large but in my opinion would be a small (made in china , as most things anymore ) so its very hard to go by size and you may find one manufacturer that has a large and go to another and that large would actually fit a small person the only thing you can do is get used to what looks like it will fit buy it and save the receit to take it back if it doesent fit and remember keep the tag on and it clean . :D

Congrats on getting the doll. It's such BS that other people can't mind their own business and live and let live. I had a similar experience many years ago while returning a defective adult vhs tape at the post office. The look on the old ladys face when she insisted on opening the return shipment box was priceless, and this was way way before 9-11 so she was just being nosey-served her right.

Thanks all who congratulated Daphne on her arrival home. Of course, she took to Debian GNU/Linux pretty well, but she told me that she was used to Fedora Core. I told her that Debian pwns Fedora Core. Now she is using apt-get (with my permission) like a pro.

Of course, she thought on the State Farm Auto Insurance commercial (the one about the plane), she thought that the guy in the Fred Flinstone-like shirt (Closer inspection sees that it's a Hawaiian shirt) was saying "Knoppix! Knoppix!" (when in fact he's saying "Stop it! Stop it!"), so I booted Knoppix for her so she could be happy, then I weaned her to her dholland account on my installed Debian box. Now I got some weird stuff on my Linux box that I don't know about (some games, I think and also the text editors Pico, Joe and some other text editors), but I'm happy, and Daphne's happy that she's home. Kat a little bit, but I assured her that it'll take some time for her to get used to her. (She still has strange feelings that I'm going to leave her for Daphne.)

Now to the personalized thanks to the others:

uch:
Thanks for letting me know that she didn't come with a wig. And I'm sorry that you left the DVD there, but I don't want the DVD, but can you send a wig? I don't know if I can send any more money, because I possibly may not have any more money and I don't have a paypal account. It would be appreciated if you did. Brunette (either from a light to a medium brown) is preferred. But if you can, that is. I'm not minding which wig you'd want to send me.

And I feel your pain about apartment personnel being nosy. And I wasn't anticipating to be out, Kat was going to let me stay home, but I had to make an appointment with my doctor (it was for her doctor because Handi-Ride can leave her because the doctor was running a little late one time) and I had to come with her, even though I didn't get much sleep the night before anxiously waiting for Daphne, and Kat already scheduled a companion to ride with her. (The drivers sometimes can be bitchy if what's on the manifest doesn't match who's riding.)

And I don't get how they could've seen a doll in the box, because when I opened it, the doll was wrapped in a bedsheet and there was foam block securely hiding her... :roll:

keithallen:

Ain't that so true. As a matter of fact, gossip around here can get out of control. Thanks to one protagonist named Tina (about Kat's age) fuels the fires worse by spreading it to as many people as she can. And she denies it, because one time when Kat confronted Tina about her endless gossip, she blatantly denied it and followed Kat (where Kat and I were going to the store that day) wanting to get the last word, yelling. Kat tried speeding up her wheelchair and Tina followed suit by speeding up her wheelchair also until we went to another store off of Tidewater Drive. Tina gave up and went somewhere else.

mytime:
Actually, Daphne doesn't mind being the "other commandline hacking doll." But she ain't getting my root password! (That's why when she typed "su", I had to enter my root password for her before I taught her the finer aspects of apt-get.) And she's over the part of where Fay found her. In fact, she doesn't want to see her ever again.

zazakell:
Nice one. Sure, I'll take a candid pic and upload it. :lol: :wink:

CJD:
I understand how much it would piss you off if it happened to you, but it happened to me and I didn't like it. That's why my doors are locked when I am out and when I am in the house. It may not be for Fay (who, of course, has keys to all the apartments) who can come in and f*** my shit up, but mostly for the nosy neighbors.

lovingchanj:

As I said for Keith, ain't that so true. Hence that's why we get a lot of stigma about it. Fay is the one who loves to gossip and I wished that the UPS driver didn't show up until I got home, but oh well...

timetraveler1:
I'll keep that point in mind about clothes sizing. I'm so used for myself on clothing sizes. I know that I wear a size 38 waist/30 inseam, XL shirts and size 10 shoes. For women's clothing, I find it to be harder. And for Kat, since she's a plus size, I know that 1X to 3X is optimum for her. But I'm starting to learn more about "petite" women clothes sizing.

pajoey:
I would be embarrassed myself if I had to return something like that! But the embarrassment would be worse if it was a doll!

all:
But Daphne and I thank you all for all the nice comments. I wish that there was a different outcome than what had really happened, but life goes on.

I've gotta work this weekend and I wouldn't be able to play with Daphne, because I work ten-hour days with a three-hour or so break in-between. (I'm an aide for Kat on the weekends.) But I may be able to play with Daphne resuming Monday. But I am happy that I got her. And that's good and well, because I've been wanting a doll that I could dress up nicely.

Thanks again.

CasperGhostboy/CasperGhostman, Kathryn and Daphne

Hey CGM, here are the wigs I have available that might fit your description of what you are looking for. Let me know which one you want and if you get back to me soon enough, then I might be able to get it to the post office tomorrow morning so that you can receive it by Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

Ah, yes. That is a favorite of mine as well. I will attempt to ship it to you tomorrow morning. This time, I will try to make it as tamper proof as possible. :D

Thanks. Wii'll be expecting it.

To the rest (including uch):

I had tested out my digicam and it works nicely.

For now, enjoy these pics:

http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/thumbnails.php?album=899

Sorry she doesn't have a wig now, but thanks to uch, she'll be nice and ready for her real ID picture so I can remove itsme's picture that I used in the "interim" ID card. Virginia has this certain blue background for its ID cards, and I know what color it is basically, and Kat and I have the sheet. I'll post it to my Doll Album and here when I see it.
