Thanks you guys!!! The check was in the mail yesterday and I deposited it this morning! They didn't reimburse me for shipping costs, only the items but I'm surprised I got anything at all really! I do find it funny that they think it's reasonable to still pay for their service when it failed and leaves you paying shipping for broken items! haha! Andrew - that's another thing that gets me - either just sending it the "scenic route" or when you pay for 2 or 3 day shipping and it doesn't get there in that time. It's so strange they can charge for a service they don't have to fulfill. I am truly grateful I got the item costs back though!

Katie! I'm so excited for you! In celebration of your 5 year cancer free days I'll put up a few Canny Camp Pictures! Go Katie! Our Katie! Evil Jessy strangling Sherry with Maureen in the background. I think Maureen was gonna try to save Sherry! Our very own Annie! The spread!!!! I looked for the picture of all our canning goodies but I don't have enough time to search anymore. I miss all of you campers! Again, Congrats Katie!

Sorry it has taken so long to give an update but life has kind of gotten in the way. We have been enjoying our new pool now for a few weeks now. We couldn't be happier with the way things have turned out. Although we do still have a few loose ends to tie up. As far as what the name of the flagstone and tile where I will have to differ to David. I think the flagstone was Oklahoma something. Now to the pics: Full Pool Spa Bubblers Small Waterfall Main Waterfall Slide Intellibrite LED LED Green Spa Spillway I will post a few more pics when Gulf Coast gets the patio done and the fire features working.

As inspiration, the photos in this thread do their job. The photos are highly retouched / photoshopped. In the simplest photo showing the three pendants and the hood, look at the light: that alone will confirm to you it's all artificial, beyond all resemblance to reality. If you divide that photo into a dozen vertical strips, I can comment about the light and shadows in each of these strips. The photo work may have been done by a person who had a few goals to achieve. A goal might be to create envy and become the center of attention. A psychological goal. A goal might be to get paid by one or more sponsors. Perhaps the employer is an agency that was able to get several payments. Every photo shows products. These company's products are mentioned in the thread. Also, questions posted about other items are not answered well. That too is fishy and it constitutes sufficient ground all by itself to make one draw the conclusion that the internet is not always exactly what you might want it to be. Billions of dollars are spent on internet marketing; where does it end up on your computer screen? Welcome to the world of envy management. Buyer beware, things are not always what they appear to be, you get the picture. A few months before this thread started I saw a thread about someone building a new house and claiming to be buying eight slabs of granite for the kitchen. Since a slab is 40 or 50 square feet, it would have meant the kitchen was a very big room. Even billionaires do not have that size of kitchen. Hth
