I shall get the bottom half of the glass sliding doors frosted. That is my solution, so the cats can't see outside at night.

Wondering how to successfully take advantage of Bunnings' "we'll beat it by 10%" guarantee if I can only get the same competitively priced product from Big W via click & collect (I'm still not fully vaxxed so I cant go in and take a photo of how much stock they have).
Big W $42 vs Bunnings $52.

^ Mission impossible as it turns out, as there's no way Big W can ever fulfill a click and collect order the same day that you order, which is a condition of Bunning's price match (has to be obtainable that day elsewhere as well)  :finger:

I might as well reinvent what I am going for in my ideas... My ideas for my stories need clarity, and in order for that clarity to work, I'm going to continue reading as much as I can.

I have a tough time not enjoying my grapefruit this time of year while they are fresh and available FRESH and plentiful.
The 'staten I take to lower my serum "bad" cholesterol suffers interference by the grapefruit, causing the effectiveness of the drug to be reduced.

After an involved conversation with my doctor, she assures me that if I take the staten at night after all midnight snacks and such are done AND I only eat my grapefruit in the morning, there will not be enough interaction to worry about.

I am going to trust her.

From here? Check your spam folder. Plus, SMF is rather unreliable with sending them.

Having said which, I'll see if something is weird in the db.

I doubt it. Sorry you're having trouble, tho.

It seems to have resolved itself for some reason.  For awhile I was not getting any, yet when I went to the site it showed that there were new replies.  So it seems to be all good for now.  I remember now that SMF was quirky in the past.

Glad to hear it. SMF is not good at this - or maybe it's our host. Both have given us grief in the past.

We are awaiting the final hour and we have a good chunk to use for bidding that we did not have last week.

Speaking of silver (in another thread), I am running up against problems with the moving company regarding valuables like my huge collection of coinage and mass of bulk silver.

I thought my two large Browning safes and one smaller Prestige safe full of weaponry collectibles would be the biggest problem. I am still troubled about the logistics side of this dilemma. More figuring to do with this.

They have to inventory every item of value they move. I have one hundred fifty eight rolls of silver half dollars, fifty something rolls of silver quarters and over three hundred rolls of silver dimes from my efforts at bank scrounging over the past few years, stored secretly in my "bolted to the concrete" safes. I have posted about a few successes, but many more lackluster trips have happened. It adds up eventually.

I do have a complete inventory of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING copied in multiple locations for insurance purposes. I'm there, but not sure how much comfort I can ever know from allowing a few random guys working for a third party company to see, let alone record,  all this "wealth."

I have ordered a third LARGE Browning safe. Moving my collection of weaponry will be done by my own hands. I will not allow anyone to inventory my fifty year old collection! Just need a place to deliver the new safe now, other than my own (soon to disintegrate) garage.

Troubling! :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:

Fingers crossed.
