Excellent news Nupe!! I've been keeping an eye out as well, but haven't seen anything that I don't already have.
Well, I still haven't gotten my Priest hoodie and it shipped on Saturday! Either it's crawling to me or the delivery guy is wearing it! I guess I'm just used to it getting here in 2 or 3 days after being shipped, not 7...... still no word on my other items.

It doesn't lose out to the Cd because albums are better. Digital makes everything simple
and is great for convenience but analog is the way to go if you prefer true sound.
Enjoy the LP's.

The mail probably wont slow it down that much, in some cases yes though, as I just experienced. lol
I bought two sculptures online at the first of this month and it took two weeks for it to get here. By it's tracking number it sat in a UPS warhouse in Oklahoma City for a week before moving an inch! I would have just as soon NOT had the tracking number as that just made me all that much more ticked off about.
At the same time I ordered something from London and paid the cheepest shipping, and it got to me before a package originating in my own country. lol

Oh yeh, she's going to be the one graduate who cant point out China on a map but could tell you how to do meticulous nails and makeup. lol
I do find it funny that people pigeonhole people who like metal music as boneheads when the majority of people listen to top 40 bullshit and have no taste whatsoever.

It is a shame that people don't appreciate things that are so easy to find out about. Even if you never go anywhere these days you can learn so much by a simple internet search.
I did actully have a college graduate physical therapist who seriously looked at me once durring a conversation and asked me where Greece was. I know my face must have betrayed me as I couldn't believe that she didn't know such a simple thing. Every child at some point in time learns about the Greeks by third grade! It does amaze me that people don't even know simple geography.

They go along with a large greek vase I made a few years back. I wanted one but I was not going to pay $300.00 for one. So, when I saw a pot in a local crafts store that was big and made about the right way, I took it home, sanded it down some and made my own pot. It turned out pretty good, and it now is the centerpiece of my office on the top of my bookshelves. So, the statues go with that, although I actually have to explain that to about EVERYONE at my office because they don't know shit about history or the outside world in general. One of them looked at the statues and asked me why I have "Ingines" in my office, didn't even say indians. Really, that's the stupid people I work with.

I love free shipping! The sculptures were free shipping so I guess that is maybe why just drug their feet on delivery.

That shipping cost isn't too bad, I think I had to pay 6.00 and I'm so called "local"

and two sculptures?! that sounds great! you should show me some pics anytime!
I hope DHL guys know their job because the site didn't allow me to select a different company...and, they were charging me $10 or so... they'll burn in hell...hahaha (Quoting Message by spapad from Sunday, February 20, 2011 4:45:21 PM)

The mail probably wont slow it down that much, in some cases yes though, as I just experienced. lol
I bought two sculptures online at the first of this month and it took two weeks for it to get here. By it's tracking number it sat in a UPS warhouse in Oklahoma City for a week before moving an inch! I would have just as soon NOT had the tracking number as that just made me all that much more ticked off about.
At the same time I ordered something from London and paid the cheepest shipping, and it got to me before a package originating in my own country. lol
