    Maybe I can get someone to haul it down for me. Lots of gravel roads. If I can borrow a computer, I'll email you and let you know.

    Make sure you ONLY email. No going to any other sites or I will lock the computer in the trunk and disable any latches.

    I've had about $5 worth of fun with this. Only $30 more to go!

    The mixte should be fine downhill, uphill could be a problem though.

    You want I should have someone go kick some shins?

    I guess I should explain. She told me she couldn't get to the post office because she didn't have a car. I replied that she was on a biking board, couldn't she ride a bike? Well, no, she lived on a mountain with gravel roads, and actually Sandra seems to remember all of the excuses better than I do.
    They were all insane.

    So, sure, go kick some shins!

    She couldn't email about the purchase because her computer was in a locked trunk that could not be unlocked. Someone let her use a computer, but she had strict orders to ONLY check her email.

    More flimsy excuses that I could have ever dreamed up except that when it was reported to paypal she seemed to have immediate computer access.

    I just hate it for Claudia.

    Oh right, because we all know that bikes can't go on gravel roads so we'll believe that.

    She doesn't have a car.

    The computer is locked in the car. Hmmmmmmm

    There are no roads yet there is internet access .... sometimes.

    Hmmm, ya know I think I dated her once.

    Knott? Get your Doc Martens on That way Knott can be the tall imposing redhead and then you gets to worry about the 5'.05" (just found out I shrunk) Nidan. Though I did take a vow to use my powers for good not evil. So .... I hope you get the money back.

    Are we up to $5.50 worth of fun yet?

    Actually I think she is being held hostage.
