Did you pre-order the Helix Stadium?

[ccc118]

I got the same mea culpa of sorts from GC that timbuck3 did. Looks like they are saying it'll ship the 18th. I also noticed the charge on my card is still in the pending state. GC could stand hiring someone with some grammar chops too.

I had a pending charge yesterday from MF, but when I looked today it was gone and I figured they must have canceled it since they're not shipping yet. I just checked and now the charge showed up (no longer pending).

Wow gc charged my card.. is that even legal when it won’t be shipped. ?

Wrong. I get most supplements free to try and most do nothing so no cost. The hotub was a big purchase but doc wrote a script so less then anticipated.
Yes my acoustic guitar collection has grown but never pay full price
No pharmacy as I explained… and protein powder is like 50$ every 2 months or so.

Honestly Tim, this helps me understand your mindset

Kudos to you for being bargain hunter but not everything is going to be discounted/given out for free. That's just an unrealistic expectation that you shouldn't force on every purchase.

I had a picture of Tim as this genteel older individual who was just careful with his money. Now, I see him as maybe an older bald, stocky dude but one that is super muscle bound taking protein shakes, supplements etc.

It's interesting how Tim's style is the exact opposite of Gasp100s -

* Gasp100 purchases gear non-stop 24/7. He has not had a single week off from buying gear in years. For every post he makes, he's made 10 real-world purchases already. He's gone through so much gear he's probably had 5 iterations of many pieces.
* Tim on the other hand is the polar opposite. He goes a lot based on online reading and specs - he wants to make sure that what he gets is absolutely perfect....in the process, never buying anything....because something even better could be right around the corner.

It takes all kinds but these two are at two extremes of what I've seen in all my years on forums. Most folks are in the middle.

Of the two, I'd take Tim - he's being careful with his money and that's wise! (don't worry Tim - we love you - now go get that gear!)

My conspiracy theory is that GC/MF have cash flow problems and needed to cover their bets on the first of the month. I swear I have like 5 15% off coupons from them over the last week. EVERYONES SAYING IT.

I know some guys here buy the same units over like 2-3-4-5+ times and that’s really silly to me. And I just can’t do that. Even though I could I wouldn’t. It’s like going back to an old gf from college after a divorce. Lol

Well, the rest of us have to make up for you, by buying things over and over again. It brings balance to the universe.
