How on earth has yours arrived when mine hasn't yet???  I'm in California and you're in ENGLAND!!!  Criminies.  I even checked our local bookshop, Barnes & Noble, just yesterday afternoon... and the issues aren't there yet, either.

I'm going to have to get on Mindy about treating us NorCal customers RIGHT!

Not ALL of Oregon, though, because Shantell got hers DAYS ago.

I'm not complaining, per se, by the way... just dying of eager, wide-eyed anticipation!  I WANNA SEE!!! It's not a case of only TB&F arriving late, but of every subscription I get arriving late.  Or, as least, latER than some other places.  Note to self:  MUST harrass Chico post office on this... !

For a girl with long-term reward "issues" -- I prefer my rewards quick and immediate -- that's like putting a bone before a dog and saying, "Don't eat, Rover."  Maddening!

Laughing here...

Shantell got her copy already???!!!!  Something is surely amiss here.  I've already received my TBR and the two magazines usually arrive around the same time.  Hmmmmmmm.

Maddening? Yes!!  In triplicate!!

Hugs,  :hug:

It's always nice to win....especially on such a lovely day.  I think winning should come with a party though!

Well I don't have TBR yet!!!   So does that help any at all...  bear_tongue

It is strange that I have my TB&F  in Scio (pop. 600) and I'm not even really IN Scio...and you don't have yours yet in PORTLAND...hmmmm!!!

I'm hoping Mindy won't mind my offering this... if she does I'll delete this post... BUT:

I have a small handful TB&F's (this current issue) that were left behind at my show last weekend. TB&F sent them free to me for a promo at the show. If any of you do NOT have a subscription or better yet, have never seen TB&F or live outside the US and have a hard time getting it here is your chance to see what you are missing! I'll be happy to ship you a FREE copy.... you just have to pay for actual shipping charges!!

I only have a few so let me know right away if you'd like one!! Email or PM me with your address!!

Glad those who have it like the issue, and especially the TT article. I was a bit anxious about it.

Not to beat a dead horse, but the people in England are confirming what I've been saying about overseas subscriptions: you can't get the magazine on newsstands, but you can subscribe and get it before people in California! Plus, with the exchange rate what it is, it's affordable (unlike my $80+ subscriptions to the British mags!).

bear_whistle Not to turn the screw, or anything (heh heh) but you both look and sound FANTABULOUS in the TT article.

You definitely nailed us.  bear_thumb

And I'm happy to report that my ad has brought in two (count 'em, two) orders already!  :dance:The Hubs, who paid for it, is very pleased!

SUPERB!  And a perfect example of how working (and, sometimes, paying) to stay "top of mind" with collectors really does reap dividends that can be measured!  Yay for you, girlfriend!
