*big hug* We are not doing wishlist, discussing how to wipe them out most quickly would be good. That is a bit different :P

-laughs- Well, shit. I hadn't really looked at the game, but after seeing the concept, I've got another wishlist item.

Actually Catwoman but now you've added another to my 'must watch' list. :-)

Good afternoon. =)
I'll pass on the coffee (too frigging hot), but thank you though.
How's your day going?
If you can sit through Catwoman, Swordfish will be a walk in the park.
You'll know the payoff when you see it, also. You're welcome. ;)
Your innocent smile seems anything but when you have that look in your eye...

Hope you guys don't mind if I rant (about Starbucks) a bit.
While I was gone camping, we would stop at the grocery store every now and then to get food and various supplies. One day while I was there I found some Starbucks Frappucino bottled drinks in the drink aisle. I was curious for a long time as to what those were like, so I decided to try one. For that 13.7 ounce bottle of iced coffee, the price was $2.79.
Pretty ridiculous price if you ask me. Especially considering when I drank the Frappucino, it pretty much tasted like coffee-flavored chocolate milk. So, 13.7 ounces of that stuff. For nearly 3 bucks. Yeah, wouldn't want to get it again, since I can just make good iced coffee at home anyway. (And I believe I could get a similar taste by buying a jug of chocolate milk and mixing some of it in a glass with vanilla and cold coffee)
Another thing I don't like about the way Starbucks prices their stuff: Single serve K-cups. At that very same grocery store (and other stores) I went to the coffee aisle and looked at the K-cup section. Usually brands like Eight O'Clock, Green Mountain, and so forth sell their K-cups in 12-pack boxes for roughly $6 to $8. What Starbucks does is sell boxes of K-Cups which are the same size as the 12-pack boxes other brands have....but instead of putting 12 cups in each box, Starbucks only does 10 cups a box! And get this: Starbucks still charges more (if not more or less the same) for each 10-pack box than the other brands do for their 12-pack boxes! I remember seeing them going for almost $10.
Really it's a stingy, scummy way to price your products IMO. I don't think I'll be getting any more Starbucks products unless they come at a good discount or something. (but at any rate, I'm more eager to give my money to other good coffee companies like Tim Horton's, Eight O' Clock, etc., because I actually like their stuff better anyway)

Not to mention, they don't even have that niche market appeal of being a heavy duty stimulant like Monster, Red Bull and so on. It's just sweet coffee in a bottle.
Starbucks definitely has a bad case of being stuck up their own ass, to the point that they think their product is so good that it's worth the extra cost.
But it's not.
Also, I'm not a big fan of K-cup style coffee packaging in general. I can get a large can of coffee, a couple hundred filters, and I'm good to go for days and days. Preparing coffee one cup at a time would get pretty old.
Good evening. =)
How's your weekend going?

Harvey Wallace Burns was an American artist and didn't have many paintings go to auction but one I saw was estimated to go for $400 - $600.
I didn't find much info on Arthur A. Pank but this link is the best collection of info that I saw, hopefully it's somewhat helpful. http://www.tudorgalleries.co.uk/artists/arthur-a-pank/
I couldn't find any specific info for a T.Jones, it's a bit too generic of a name unfortunately.
who done the same.Pank,it would be interesting to see how they signed their paintings.Might keep looking and
investigating.I need to do another search for H.Burns.and T.Jones.
