Super congrats.
Thanks! It just floored me to see this thing NEW at an AD. The first thing I said when I saw it was "Cool! you have pre-owned now!".

And the color matches this so perfectly. Way better than it looks in pics.

Geez Louise! I was getting the kids to bed and missed the big reveal. Splendid, A. A real beauty. Now, could you please get us a wrist shot of it with your ring?

Glad you made it through what must surely have been hell. You deserve nothing but the best. I've been thinking of you and hoping you were doing okay.

Speed, it never even occured to me to dream there was still a new one of this anywhere. Seeing it new just wasn't something I'd have even thought to look for. Just such a lucky case of being in the right place at the right time. I sure hope that kind of luck holds for me now, it's such a great change of pace.

Thanks, FremStar, I was hoping you'd come along. I've really missed talking with you folks here.

Lisa!!! How you been? Yes, chemo was a special kind of hell. I'm told the chemo I was given is some of the nastiest, and the effects I had from it were bad. I spent months too sick to even sit up and talk to people. I just hope the biopsy they do after my surgery comes up negative.

As for wrist pics, I can do that in a bit. Now if you'll excuse me, I got to go take some stickers off.

I'm so glad to hear that you conquered your chemotherapy and I wish you all the best for your upcoming surgery.

That's quite a treasure you've unearthed for yourself in that sub. Congratulations!
