Fast friends.

Started by a group of CA TE'ers to raise money for an MS ride. Blossomed into much more.

Thank You SK for organizing this and doing such a wonderful job.

[SadieKate]

You're very welcome. I can't tell you what it means to me to think of all of you sporting the colors -- and hoping they get worn in some kind of fundraising event.

[LBTC]

I'll be in my AV colours for the Crohn's heel n wheel athon, whenever the heck it is!

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

That's really cool. Let me know when you order next time since the Jan deadline has passed, now that I've done my HW on these a little I'dlike one. Great idea for charity and inspiration. esp the tortoise bit. Jennifer

So, when do they ship?

(I'd almost forgotten about them completely , but then I was paying my credit card bill... )

[SadieKate]

They'll probably ship from Spain near the end of the month and then Miss Yellow will need to dispurse.

Word to the wise, anytime you deal with a custom item where the actual WORK is being down in another country plan 48 hrs for each and every topic interaction.

SK - Hello, Buff, I've got your answering machine once again and as usual. I need to know X.
24 hrs later, Buff calls - OK, let me get this clear, blah-blah-blah.
Another 24 hrs later, Buff calls/emails back - Spain said blah-blah-blah.

Payment was delayed 4 days because I couldn't get anyone on the phone and even told the answering machine (as usual) that I needed to talk to them ASAP because I was going to be gone for 2 days and could not take any calls nor was I going to give them a credit card number over a cell phone on the off chance we could talk. They, of course, proceeded to call my cell phone during these 2 days multiple times (thank goodness for silent mode). Only time they really put pedal to the metal. OK, rant off. AG listened to most of it already. The Buffs are in production as we speak.
