    @DracoTarot It would be amusing to hear the Tarot card go all "That's it, I quit!". It is interesting to imagine sometimes what the objects that you use would say if they could talk.

    Though if I were a Tarot card, I would not quit. Not in this economy. Instead, I'd form a union and go on strike. This seems to be popular these days. Something like "There will be no divinations until our demands are met! Lamination for everyone! Insurance for free bent edge treatment! And no divinations on public holidays!"

    @Saka thanks 😁. Yes it's the same deck I've mentioned. According to the delivery note it took 5 months to reach me. It actually arrived last year December in SA but our postal service took 4 months to release the parcel. That's nothing. I waited almost a year for another parcel. It's ridiculous. 😶. Oh we'll what can I say at least I received it.

    @DracoTarot Welp. Already 4 months is ridiculous, but a year?! That's just sad.

    I had once FedEx hold a package hostage for 2 months and was beyond pissed off. It didn't help that it was my assistive equipment that was inside. 🤐

    @DoctorEldritch the demands and rules you're mentioning is once again spot on and describes our current situation here in SA. Everything you've mentioned is happening except our leaders are retaliating with another Tarot deck which is more dark and sinister. "Demands will not be met until you bend the knee and only when we are acknowledged as your masters. We only provide when you surrender".

    Reminds me of Game of Thrones.

    Shipped 55 days ago. No updates. I guess it's going to take another 55 days before reaching me or customs will hold it for ransom. Always a waiting game. It's so annoying I don't even want the parcel anymore because it's going to be of no use. It's items that expire. I'll just have to throw it away. 😑

    @DracoTarot This does sound annoying and tedious. But, as a silver lining, you always have an opportunity to check the accuracy of Tarot divination. Every time you are expecting a parcel, you can ask the cards how late it would be and check how accurately the cards perform on delivery. That way, you can add "regular quality checks and accuracy monitoring" to your fortuneteller resume.

    @DoctorEldritch I don't think any sort of divination would help in this matter. Predictions would be inconclusive. Most of the time I would have the World or Tower card come forth and the message would be to leave it up to the energies to decide or find another solution to receive better results.

    Normally no time frames are given and results are seen when it happens.
