    Tales from the Crypt-ocaryon

    Thanks Ashlar, I had not thought of trying this. I will see what comes up in the thread first, but will keep it in mind as a possible option. Has anyone personally had success with this method?

    Down with FedEx!!

    My experience tells me NEVER order live stock when its snowing in Seattle. Everyone knows the place shuts down when it snows. Just ask the people that spent 15 hours on the freeways trying to get home.
