Sorry about that

Sorry about the outage.

It was a suprise to all of us. If we knew about the possiblity of trouble we would have let everyone know.

Hope it wasn't too inconvenient.

Too inconvenient?

I've been trying to stabilize my shakes with a heavy intake of Coca-cola laced with Pri-G at 4 times normal strength. Darn near out of Pri-G and the darn customs folks nicely hosed me with duties the last bottle I ordered in. Can't buy it here in Mexico North, amigos.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and
enough hope to make you happy.

Thanks Robmints.

I think I'd have to call one of the stores directly and see if they'd ship it to me. It appears the on-line store would ship it from the US, and I'd get hit with the brokers/customs fees again. (I think I was mistaken about it being duty: was likely brokerage that cost so much)

I'm OK now, I went on a 24hr drinking binge. 

It would have been nice to know about the downtime so we weren't scampering all around. I know we Mods wish we had the information in advance to provide everyone. Thanks for your patients!

Paula,

Me thinks it is time for you to make an appointment with your hairdresser for a deep penetrating anti-blonding treatment for your hair roots. Seems a few blonde ones have taken hold and grown into your brain.

Oh Windy One....I can whip your brain/butt (figured they were probably in the same approximate location so might as well include both ) any day....how about a game of brain wrestling.........oh wait......two different categories can't compete.... lightweight (hmmm...who could that be? ) versus heavyweight (My goldplated belt looks so nice on my mantle  ).

Paula, sweetheart®

Are you sure that isn't a gold plated mouthpiece you have sitting on the mantle? It would have to be the size of a wrestler's championship belt to accomodate your substantial muscle structure in that area of your anatomy.
