Tempting... Very tempting... Thanks for the tip!

No problem...I suspect I'll get a nibble from a certain mod as well!

Well... I've had some trouble with my order on this, but they're supposed to be setting up a PayPal method of payment soon, so I'll make use of it at that point. In other words... Yes, of course I'm interested! Jeez.....

And I finally was able to get the thing to go through! YIPPEEEE!

Now the waiting begins.....

Ningauble · 19th January 2008, 04:48 PM

I, too, finally bogged down today and paid for the booklet. It sounds fun.

But this is three unplanned purchases in the course of two weeks... and I was going to keep my book-purchasing urges on a short leash this year!

Oh, then this is definitely the wrong place to hang around, trust me....

The amount of books I've bought since joining this site! My to-read pile will never go down...

LOL... Hmmm.... I'm not quite sure how to take that... so I'll just leave it at a "Thank you, Hoops!"... (though it still doesn't get Argus off his Hoopy-hounding detail....

)

HoopyFrood · 19th January 2008, 10:31 PM

Curses...

But yes, it was supposed to be a nice comment for once...

Nesacat · 20th January 2008, 10:21 AM

Ningauble ... those leashes never work. They always, always miraculously stretch and this place helps that happen.

JD ... congratulations. Am glad you managed to get the book. Have fun when it arrives.

I'll try and get my paws on a copy when I get there for Eastercon.

My problem's not so much the to-read pile, as the really-must-find-room-to-put-the-read-books pile......I've just about run out of wallspace......

Nesacat · 20th January 2008, 11:27 AM

Ye gods Pyan ... you don't need a pocket universe ... you need a pocket multiverse. Good luck.

pyan · 20th January 2008, 11:39 AM

Good idea, Nesa..but I can't find one on Ebay....

Mind you, they make excellent insulation..

j. d. worthington · 20th January 2008, 03:09 PM

LOL... Lord, Pyan... it's looking like my room.....

And yes, they do indeed; only this insulation also serves multiple functions....
