I FINALLY got a phone call from BestPrices.com just now! Don't know how they got my cell #, and sure hope they don't SELL IT to some telemarketer!
Anyway, the woman stated that they had been sending ME e-mails, but I had not responded. I axed what address they were using, and it was correct. Then I told her to send it to my home e-mail. Just as the conversation ended, LOW AND BEHOLD, there were THREE return labels just POPPED up in my inbox...the same c3vr mailbox that they supposedly had been sending them to! Amazing, no?
Whatever....I have to assume someone here has been working on my behalf to help sort this mess out...how else would they have my cell #, and REAL name?
Thanks, whomever you may be...
IT done...over with...
First game/contest for Hot Springs? "WHACK-AN-ADAM'!!!!

With a date of December 30, 1899 I guess Zora Arkus-Duntov was truely ahead of his time
