Re: Silver Contest: Week 4 (of 11)
Just a thought, but closing the window a day and several hours before the deadline might be akin to allowing someone to stand five feet away from the dart board while everyone else is choosing to shoot from 20 feet back.

Counselor, that point was asked and answered a few weeks ago. Stop harassing my client.

Everyone is welcome to wait until Thursday 11:59am (the Great State of Texas time) to enter their guesses.

Re: Silver Contest: Week 4 (of 11)
I went to check my box today and was surprised and disappointed to find that it hadn't arrived yet. I asked them if the mail had been delivered yet and they said no but it should be soon. So this is why I staked out the UPS office today. And yes, once the mail got there, the ounce was in it. I haven't posted about it yet because I was waiting to get to my PC so I could post the picture. I still haven't done that yet.

That took entirely too long. I mailed it on Monday of this week. Glad you got it...finally.Meili wrote: ↑May 13th, 2017, 12:15 amI went to check my box today and was surprised and disappointed to find that it hadn't arrived yet.

Re: Silver Contest: Week 4 (of 11)
I've noticed a certain feature of the U.S. mail: if you are waiting for something, particularly if you are waiting for something of value, it takes far longer to deliver than normal. I believe they have an anxiety meter that somehow tracks the stress level of the sender/receiver and delays those pieces of mail in which the parties are most anxious for them to arrive at their destination. I'm sure we will hear about this conspiracy in google results in the near future. :-s :-s :-s :-w :-w :-wSilver wrote: ↑May 13th, 2017, 8:31 amThat took entirely too long.
