Hi, ReliableBenz, welcome to DBG. Glad your txn w/ A worked out in the end. Quick question: when you initially contacted him on Friday, did you ask A specifically who Monday's receiver would be? 

Hi Syn, glad you're here! I'm still pretty new myself but have found this site to be tremendously helpful & informative -- and a lot of fun, too! Hope your experience is just as great!

Welcome FidoB! My castle is currently ruled by an elderly cat, but I love dogs too! In fact, for almost 15 years, the dearest little border collie mix on earth was the star of my household; she's been gone more than two decades now but her picture will always be on the wall with all the other...

Hi Julio! Indeed... Just be very, very careful what you wish for! Like the guy who told the genie he just wanted to be a real stud -- So now he's stuck on a snow tire in Michigan... 

Jewy, thank you for the timely update! Over the past 3 or 4 years, I too have received calls from these cons, and wanted to note it's obvious they've invested some time honing their skills. My 1st caller had such a heavy Spanish accent I could barely understand him, and he was supposedly w/...

Hi PB, Sounds like your Memory Lane has landmarks very similar to some along my own twisting trail! But if you also recall those "helpful" forums that sprang up around the old O P s, stuffed to the gills with misinformation and flaming invective, you'll find this place wonderfully...

Hey Beranda, I was out of town a couple days over the Thanksgiving holidays and did not want to hop on my brother-in-law's computer whilst all the family gathered (hovered) 'round, so I feel like I've really been out of touch! So, better late than never: first, thanks for the compliment...

LUCKY! (to be here, expanding my vocabulary -- I'm gonna be sure to use H's term in a sentence at least 3 times today -- then it's mine, forever!)

Rosario, it breaks my heart to imagine the depths of your pain and despair; I'm very glad you found your way here, and that being here has brought you some relief and hope. Jewy, your post was lovely; I am very thankful that you are indeed "here every day." Reading through the thousands of...

Hi MH, welcome! I "saw" you a little while ago in aleesays' intro thread, but didn't know your area of expertise then... Oh, my, I imagine folks will have some questions for you!   I have not been here very long myself, so I'm still spending most of my time reading and learning and being amazed...

Welcome, aleesays! And MH too! What SmokeyJoe said is exactly right, including the pleasant surprise of simply stumbling into this place. I still can't believe my pure dumb luck; it's so much more than I expected or even thought about hoping for! I must admit I am a teeny bit hurt that I was...

Hey jmorgan, I got the V 3 6 ... along w/ profuse email apologies when I reminded Antonio he said he was sending the other; luckily, it doesn't matter to me but he knows it might matter quite a bit to some members. That is what you meant by number, right? As far as quantity, I got what...

Yes, in my short time here I've had any number of pleasant surprises & ah ha! moments. In fact, my only issue is my tendency to let "real life" slide off the radar while I'm getting lost in the library here   This place has been an eye-opener that has already greatly improved my quality of...

Gee whiz, I wish big brown could learn how to use my doorbell! My poor li'l letter has been sitting out in 18-degree weather for over an hour... Otherwise, all is fine & dandy! Very nice packaging, and it was sent next day as I requested. What I initially regarded as a hiccup (discussed...

I have certainly never traveled "in excess of 180 mph" in a car, although once upon a time in Montana I got a minivan rental up to 107. The little devil who always sits on my left shoulder was cheering & whipping the horses, while the little angel on my right wept and wet her pants. Over...

Hi Hydreauxman, Enjoy your break -- everything I've read from and about you would indicate it's well earned & much needed. When you return -- and I'm thinking after the 2nd break you've mentioned, so after the New Year -- if you would consider giving me a spot in the "to be considered"...

Exactly -- a doc once told me that accidental suicides frequently occur because the person felt relatively safe in "crying out for help" by downing a bottle of OTC pills. And as you say, liver failure, coma, death... all follow in pretty short order... On the other hand, oh thank God our govt...

Hi Lady, welcome! I am still very new myself, and am amazed by what I've learned in such a short time. The answers are here, if you're willing to do the reading. It is so worth it! All best, Blue

LOL, Beranda -- I certainly did! I've found that 9 times out of 10, cats are always smarter than they would let you believe. I had a situation years & years ago: my cat and my room-mate's cat suddenly and inexplicably turned on the 3rd person sharing our house, peeing in his shoes, on...

Hi Susan, I second everything Beranda said! I've been here just a short time myself, and have been absolutely thrilled w/ the wealth of information and the smart people who have made their research available. You're right, the on-line ordering process can set the stomach butterflies awhirl...
