Hello all. I havn't been around for a while due to illness. I go in for surgery tomorrow to remove an abdominal mass that has been causing me tremendous back pain. I can barely walk or stand for more than 10 mins at a time, and sitting at the computer is just brutal.

Here's a few catchup things I need to address;

(1). A while back I announced that I was taking items for a "Mystery Box" that would be auctioned off at the club meeting in June. I only recieved one item for it, and since I've been too sick to pursue it, i'm sending the donated item back and cancelling the idea.

(2). I booked my reservation for the convention. I'm waiting to book the actuall flight to see if I get better rates at the time draws closer. I'm staying at a little off-strip place on Decateur called Mom's Place. The rates are cheap, but the drink service sucks. Get it yourself or You know where the fridge is, are frequent replies to any request made. On the upside she does offer video slots and poker, oh, and a Kareoke Bar! yes, she really does have a Kareoke Bar!

(3). Since I don't really have alot to trade at the convention, does anybody ever offer any set-price sales? I just can't seem to get the hang of trading, just about everything I have, I want to keep. I do have some duplicate fractionals and things, but I can't relly see most of the traders wanting what I have. I may be wrong though.

Well, I gotta run for now, the painkillers are wearing off.

Hope to be back and posting again soon...
