I have a desperate NEED!

[GreenOasis]

Apparently I wasn't as prepared as I thought for my shipment from Rebecca and am finding myself without enough cups OR fruit flies! (Why do Hydei have to take SOOO LOOONG to take off???) :blink:

Much as I would love to make another order with Rebecca, finances are forcing me to cut the budget even tighter for the next week, but I need these things, like NOW!

So, here's what I need: 10+ 16-ounce clear deli cups w/fabric lids (clean, used is fine)

10+ 32-ounce clear deli cups w/either fabric or screen lids (clean, used is fine)

Any leftover fruit fly culture cups you might have w/lids (preferably clean)

ANY melanogaster, Turkish or hydei cultures you might have that are producing NOW!

What I can offer in return: My UNDYING gratitude! Okay, no really, I can pay $5/shipping & maybe $10/product right now with a promise to "hit you back" later on down the road, but that's about it. I wasn't expecting so many tiny mouths to feed and wiped out three FF cultures (that hadn't started producing yet) in one go!

THANKS SO MUCH GUYS! I REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP THAT CAN BE OFFERED AND WILL NO DOUBT RETURN THE FAVOR ASAP!

Left you a voicemail

Left you a voicemail

OH! Now where did I leave my phone? :blink:

I woulda' said something, but figured you'd gotten rid of that old culture by now. If you can send it, that would be great!

Next time: Better planning on my part!

 

[GreenOasis]

Ah ha! There's some sort of a quote about "Needs must when the devil drives.", so here it is: I had a couple of these things laying around (don't ask how or why), so I thought I would put them to use...still not enough for all the nymphs, though!

:lol:

I have some used 32 oz cups, maybe a couple dozen and used lids and maybe a culture, u have to pay shipping though, if u want email me at [email protected] and I will weight them tomorrow and see what shipping they will charge

 

[LauraMG]

Just make sure those specimen cups are ventilated enough and they should work just fine. I'll mail out that culture ASAP for you!

 

[GreenOasis]

Thanks so much, guys! I didn't realize how tight things were until I balanced the checkbook earlier & panicked! (I hate it when that happens!)

Shipping is no problem! Used is no problem! Heck, I'd even take nasty, dead, moldy, old ff culture cups right about now! (Okay, not really, but it sounded funny.) I don't mind a little cleaning & sterilizing, though.

I appreciate the offers...just let me know how much on the shipping and I'll transfer it to you ASAP! (Laura G, I'll send you a pymt with your "dragon dust"...which I will ship out Mon...K?)

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU GUYS! I O U a BIG ONE! :wub:

P.S. THIS FORUM IS AWESOME...I love how everyone is so willing to help one another in times like this! And I'm really looking forward to being one of the better members here, too!

I've got a couple of extra cups too, like 3 with cloth lids that I'll throw in too. I gotta make another order anyway, so I'll pickup some more cups when I get supplies next.

 

[GreenOasis]

Yeah, I'm thinking I need to buy like, A CASE of them as soon as I have some disposeable $$ again!

Luckily they're really super cheap. You can get a bunch for practically nothing. I'm sending out this box today, so it should be there Monday.
