@gugie -- Man, things slowed down a bit. I'm gonna need to request a move to the bottom of the list as we'll be spending the latter part of this month moving... the way things are going the box will get here right in the middle of it, and we know from experience that's a recipe for disaster. Thanks!

That's the longest delayed reaction to a joke in human history.

Since Canada may well soon build a wall between our two countries, I'm not sure when you can play again.

My understanding is that USPS has been using boats to deliver the mail in NorCal lately.

First selection goes to the 2.5 yr old toddler. She had more fun with it than anyone has a right to have with a sticker.

Drop box works great for sharing between individuals not for posting on forums.

If you can set that album to public the links should work and the pics will appear, other choice would be signing up for something like photobucket and then upload them there.

I have a Photobucket account that I opened so I could post pics here. That's the only use it gets.
