| I was helping Dale Roberts at a show when this guy asked to see three or four wall books. He looked over and looked over them. Then he said, " Will you take $XXX for the lot?" Dale said okay. I asked the guy how he wanted to pay. He said, "Oh, I'm not going to buy them. I just wanted to know what you'd take for them." Dale and I just looked at one another. |

| My own stupidity “grinds my gears” this time. Thankfully I got lucky. Sent 7 books to to other guys for the McFarlane signing. I brought the shipment to my local UPS. Paid cash. I threw out the receipt and tracking slip by mistake. That was 2 months ago. Last week, I checked my account, no record of it being received. I had no tracking. No proof of shipment. I figured it was lost. I called cgc, they said boxes are checked in within a week of receipt. So yes, it’s lost. Then Yesterday I log in, package is received! Months of being angry with myself taught me a lesson. Don’t throw away your shipping receipts. |

| My bet is that it was "lost" somewhere at the cgc and they just happened to finally find it and log it into the system. Boxes checked in within a week of receipt my ass. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by multi007 Yeah I try to keep all my shipping receipts until I see that everything's been delivered with my sales packages. I would imagine it was a shitstorm of packages coming in for that signing, and they just lobbed everything into a room until they did the cutoff, then began processing boxes that they squirreled away already. Thankfully you sent it in when you did! |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders And so it goes....  I'm about to be admitted as a precaution but I'm 100% positive AI found the solution. I was using a warm compress on my right eye last night in the dark while looking at my cell phone with my left eye. When I removed the compress my left eye suddenly went dark for about a minute. Live and learn I suppose. I guess I entered the right search terms. Prior diagnoses were a possible retinal stroke or standard stroke so I'm happy to have found the more likely cause. I'll be in the hospital until tomorrow most likely. All tests are normal so far. I've shown the doctor my screenshot about smartphone blindness instead of embarrassingly hiding it from them, but they still need to admit me as a precaution. I'm still undecided if my own stupidity is the cause. I do have a lot of medical issues and did lose vision temporarily so I don't feel like a total dumbass. I also forgot what I was doing when I lost vision until I read about smartphone blindness and rembered I was in fact using my phone with one eye. I only wish I figured it out before being admitted to the er. I could be home watching TNF |

@Bronte @Gaard @DrWatson thanks guys. I won't be touching whatever that scrambled egg thing is or the honeydew. I'll stick to the cheerios, yogurt and maybe ask if there's any other options. |

| @flanders it would be ironic if you found the AI diagnosis of using your phone in the dark, while using your phone in the dark to research the diagnosis. Seriously though, get well soon! Ps. Don’t eat the melon. You’ll be burping it up all day. lol. |
