Not for me, but I connect to it differently than the "outside world". I think KS mentioned that roadrunner has been having issues today.
So I can get to www.garrisonexcelsior.com just fine but it's been real hit and miss getting to any other website or getting my email. frustrated



I keep getting Time Out Errors.

I'm actually having problems accessing these boards via www.RochesterFanforce.com today. It says that one has some errors in loading. Also, www.RochesterFandom.com cannot be found either.

Its been 5 or 6 years now since I stopped collecting Star Wars toys and started collecting things I always wanted since I was 5 years old. Something I loved even more then Star Wars toys. It was a hard decision but I knew I could not do both. The choice was made. Here is my first 10 years of collecting Japanese Godzilla toys. I finally got pics up of my collection to post on Monsterzero.com Here they are on Photobucket as well.

Please consider signing this petition:

It is for a LOTR fan whose friends would like her to have the chance to be a Hobbit in The Hobbit.
She is suffering with ALS and may not be able to see the movie in the theatres.

Happy Halloween folks! pumpkin

We'll be out in costume at our house again this year. Folks are welcome to stop by if they'd like.
Darren even had the teller at the bank asking if we'd be doing a Star Wars theme again this year as her kids always look forward to it.

I'm about ready to go with co-workers to the Pediatric patients' Halloween parade and trick-or-treating here at Strong, dressed as a Renaissance woman giving out some of the Halloween toys and jewelry Tom picked up earlier this year that we didn't know what to do with, since many of the kids can't have candy. pumpkin

Wow. I was pleasantly surprised with the activity we have been seeing in our PaperBackSwap accounts last month. Probably everyone was looking for ways to save on presents this holiday season. Last night I was very shocked with www.BookMooch.com. It seemed every book in the first box I entered was on 1-3 people's wishlist; then I hit our duplicate Star Trek books. But even there were a few on someone's wishlist. Before I finished I had 1 request pending and found 2 more this morning (1 was ST) - all in the USA. happy Unfortunately, most of the books I am interested in are in Japan, Peru or Australia. thinking Oh well, with 13 points and 3 books to send in such a short timeframe, this could be interesting.

I just joined my 4th book swapping site a week or so ago.
They all run a bit differently, but essentially you enter into the site the books that you'd like to trade.
You get points once people request those books from you. You can then use those points to select book that you'd like from the vast lists on the site.
The only cost for this is the postage to mail out the books that are requested from you. Which will probably run you $1.75-$2.50 a book.

Here are the sites I'm on:

www.paperbackswap.com
Advantage to this one is that hardcovers and paperbacks are only 1 point each. So sometimes it's possible to trade an unwanted paperback for a hardcover you'd like instead.

www.titletrader.com
Advantage to this one is that you can list anything on here - books, music, DVDs, software, toys, etc and there's some ability to set the amount of points you'd like to receive in return for an item. And sometimes you can bargain and if you ask for multiple items you can offer less points than what they were asking.

www.bookmooch.com
Advantage to this one is that you get partial points just for listing things. Also, this one (unlike the others) is international so in some cases you can get bonus points if you're willing to pay the expense to ship books out of the country (which is sometimes 4x the cost of shipping them domestically).

www.swaptree.com
This one is a bit different from the other 3 in that there are no point systems. It's all 1-to-1 (or sometimes a 3-way) trade, so someone out there has to be interested in something you'd like before you can trade for anything. So far though I've traded 2 duplicate paperbacks for hardcovers so I'm liking it so far.
