Shoot Hz I've been here all night and just now caught up. I hate bad weather for you. I had good weather but Sunday morning a transformer blew on my street and we were without power for about 3-4 hrs. Ever since then the cable/int has been in and out. Makes me wonder if the cable line was harmed during the blowout. I wasn't home when it happened but all my neighbors ran out of their homes to see what was going on, they said it was so loud.

I think after you try for your #1 tip and don't get it, it's so hard to get it out of your cart go back pick another, it takes a lot of time to do so, in that time all the tips start flying out of there and every tip you get to checkout with ends up gone at least in my experience and then you have to repeat all the steps again and again and it can get fustrating. Though compared to how it use to be this new system is a big step up, Bert and Freddy's work is just becoming more and more popular and there is an influx of new customer wanting the product

The emptying of the cart is awful! But so is the adding to cart. It always takes what seems like forever for that box saying that you added it to load, and you can't do anything else until it does load.


skunked if all your top picks are gone.

I'm on a limited budget, I gotta be selective on the pieces I buy. can't buy them all unfortunately.

Me too Main. Wish we could grab em all though :)


But with 18 or 19 tips still on the site, how can you say you are "Totally skunked"? You missed what you wanted, but you COULD have a Trippy.
I think of totally skunked as in the old days, were you didn't even have a SHOT at a tip, any tip ...

OK, yes even with tips still listed, you can be skunked. I had 12 tips out of the bunch that I would have been thrilled with. As for what's left, I either already have something similar or the colors or shape just aren't my style.

On a limited budget you have to pick and choose. You can't just grab anything and everything, yes you could trade it down the road, but it's not the same and who knows what you will be offered, might not be anything you really want. Plus another sale may happen soon after and if you spent all your trippy money on one sale on tips you didn't REALLY want, then you are SOL. I usually only buy one, MAYBE 2 trippys at a sale if funds allow and if I'm willing to be without money for the next sale. So I only buy the ones I really like.

Here's how tonight went- On first loading after the word go, I get a timeout error, reload page, 1st choice already gone, get second choice in the cart, go through paypal, out of stock by the time paypal is done, 7 more tips disappear while dealing with paypal and clearing out the cart of the out of stock tip. Go for another, out of stock after it hits cart, clear that out go for another, out of stock when it hits cart, and one more time, and out of stock again. There went all the ones I really wanted. I even tried for a tip I didn't even really want but figured I'd try to trade it, out of stock when it hit the cart. While trying to empty the cart again Bert puts up trippy tables and I miss those too :(
So yeah, I'd say you can be skunked even when there are tips left LOL

If I had the money to buy everything I would, but I have to be picky and only go for those I really really want.

Well I was there at the beginning but keep getting locked out but I did end up with these two so all was not lost.
Well done to everyone who got their first choice.View attachment 103863View attachment 103864

Congrats!! I really like that one with the lenses or dots. I am VERY pleased with my score. This was my number #2 pick The only one I liked more was the honeycomb donut but the one I got is gorgeous too.

I agree with you D. I have to be a little more selective these days too. I have a lot now and the
ballandchain.gif
makes sure I know it. :laugh: He said I am only allowed to get donuts.Those are the ones he likes :glare: Me too but there were a lot of tips that weren't donuts that I loved last night too. Bert is coming out with some really cool new stuff. Love the lenses with the pictures in them and the tips with more than one type in it. :wub:Then of course I still need a honetcomb and an i06. So I may just have to get him to bend the rules a bit. :laugh: He did say he was very happy with last nights purchase. He said I got the best one out of the whole sale. Looking at it I think I may have to agree. Can't wait to see it in person.

Also forgot to say congrats Star!! You sure did pick a beauty. I love it. You have to take pics so we can see it. I think a honeycomb will be next on my list of to buys. I hope we see some more i06's soon too.

Although I just got my very first HH .357 after debating forever on whether or not i should spend $22 on an atty. I can't believe how great it is. I got it in the classies too so it wasn't quite as expensive.

I did some scan thing on my computer that said it helps clean up files and helps performance. maybe it worked. :?: When I run the scan it still says my computer performance is slow but I don't know $hyt about how to go about fixing it. Any one have any easy suggestions?

Morning Karla-Nope-power outages due to the tropical storm moving through North FL. Looks like you snagged an awesome tip-CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!
Yes I did. There were a number of really awesome tips that I just LOVED last night. I have 3 very sick little ones and only got 2 hours of sleep the night before the sale so I was extremely tired even before the sale and I was up again at 5:30. Scoring that one made it all worth it. Although I think the kids may suffer a little today with mommy being this exhausted.

You better believe I will try. My hubby/fiance works nights so he is sleeping now but will get up around noon so I will definitely be asking him to watch the older 2 so I can get a nap while the baby does. My baby is exclusively breastfed and refuses bottles, so I unfortunately can't leave him with the hubby too long. After about 20-30 minutes he wants mommy. He is definitely going to be a momma's boy but I'm fine with that.;)

What a wonderful gift to give the baby. More women need to step up and feed these babies the way it was intended! My grand babies are both breastfed and I feel it has benefitted them wonderfully. The youngest is only 4 weeks old, but she is happy~lol. My daughter did a surprise visit this weekend-yay me- as I was missing her little face. I have held her until she is hungry and take her back as soon as she is full.
