:D - think i made out pretty good for the past two nights of supper. Somehow ranked having barbecued honey chipotle pork chops with lima beans, green beans, and I guess you can say oven roasted onion(a dip mix) potatoes and then today steak w/boiled potatoes(buttered and salted), and leftover limas. Gotta love somehow having that meat stocked up in the freezer for some odd reason and finding it after organizing it to make it easier to find(wasn't that old just poorly organized). Not to mention I may have found a good deal on two games I'm missing from my gc collection....

Currently using a dremel to widen the holes on an Agetec Dreamcast arcade stick. It's taking longer than I thought, 3/6 holes finished. Taking a break.
I'm guessing an overzealous antivirus once saw a phishing link of some sort from another subdomain of that place, but that's just a guess.

Neat idea, btw. I might have to start looking for stuff to add :D

Nitpicky thing -- TurboGrafx was actually made by NEC. Figure you have everything ELSE separated by company name first, might as well make sure you have the right company names :lol:

I originally had it as NEC but changed it before posting it here for whatever reason. I'll change it back. Feel free to send me anything related to it.

Well, I told my anti-virus that it was all G, so hopefully if it's the only one picking up a problem, there won't be any more of an issue.

:roll: Having my first experience with eBay's Global Shipping Program :P. Never again will I use this service. Got contacted by a buyer in Spain yesterday with the simple remark "waiting....." hadn't received payment so I was somewhat confused. He then replied that he wanted a shipping quote which is completely out of my hands since GSP is handled through a third party. I actually don't have the ability to print a shipping label or send an invoice for the item since it's going through GPS :P. So after some back and forth and having him call his Customer Support who simply told him have me send a new invoice which is impossible I am now on the phone with customer support on my end. finally got a guy after 30 minutes of being on hold he seems helpful but doesn't really know what to do. He put me on hold for another 10 minutes before getting back to me. According to him GSP has screwed up the total cost on the buyers side and he is unable to pay at this point :P. The CS Rep has to escalate the problem to GSP customer support which will contact me at some point in the future(could be days could be hours he was kind of vague about how long it would be). Needless to say I have sunk probably a solid 2 hours into trying to resolve their shit for them so far best part is my profit margin on this cheap somewhat common game lot is $0.25 :P.

GSP is definitely not worth this headache so I opted out. Maybe one day I'll be confident enough to ship internationally by myself but never again will I rely on a third party especially eBay when it comes to international shipping :P.

Yo Aaron: Do you know what was in the chorizo or the name of the provider? I no longer have Premio Chorizo, and every thing else is bi-products.

Thanks!

no idea off the top of my head. it was great, though. i've purchased the "Soyrizo" meatless substitute before and really enjoyed it, but that may or may not float your boat.

Okie doke.

I ask because growing up my Mother made fantastic chorizo sausage omelets, and I can't find a decent chorizo. It's always cheek meat and bi products. Now I have no problem with tongue, but cheek meat tastes like phlegm.
