Welcome! You chose well by coming here! My standard newbie advice, pick a time when you can relax and just read everything you can on payment methods, quality, vendors (even vendors you don't think you're interested in - you can still learn from those threads.) And again - Welcome!
@tiquanunderwood:
is coming over Tuesday night for dinner and I took my birthday off from work for the first time ever. Probably just resting that day.
