I just got back today from a week-long wilderness trip with no Internet,  and I looking through  my Emails, I see I missed the big sale on Prime Renewals, which only lasted a few days.  My membership expired yesterday, so I can't even take advantage of the two pages of new Prime Products that appeared after a weeks-long drought.  :cursing:

I guess Rendo is taking marketing lessons from DAZ; I hope they don't announce a new site, too... :rolleyes: 

PS I can't unsubscribe from Prime Forum Threads, which I obviously can no longer read...

I would be upset also! I am sorry you missed that short sale. :-(

Have you emailed StacyG to see if, under your circumstance, anything can possibly be done? 

I've missed so many coupons and sales, or bought things only to have a big coupon issued the very next day, and I also forgot to redeem my render rewards one month.

It's how it is around here. Blink and you'll feel like you've lost out.  It's a constant game of cat n mouse. Should I buy this thing now? Or wait and wait and wait till the right coupon comes along? Then, just when you're happy that you got 20% off on top of the 15% sale that the vendor had, the vendor's entire store goes on sale for 50% off.

I'd be pretty mad about it, but then I have to remember all the forum posts I've made in which I've pointed out that content creators are vastly underpaid and the prices they charge are insanely cheap. Then I start to feel guilty for using a coupon on top of a sale.  Can't win. :)

Well, I didn't go out of town, but did leave the e-mail completely unread due to other activities, one of which was a quick, small paying Poser related job.  Oddly enough, only a bit more than enough for that renewal. LOL.

The universe seems to balance these things out - eventually.

As moridor said sales come and go, often at the worst possible moment. I had to manipulate my budget to fit the renewal in. Hopefully things can be worked out to your satisfaction. Another outing with the scouts?

Yes; Summer camp.  Here I am enjoying the brisk breeze at the top of Mt Monadnock, which I climbed twice this week.  This was on Tuesday, when it was 93 degrees (F, of course!).  Our Boys opted to Kayak instead; I sure couldn't blame them.  

WandW - you're a...gasp...boy?

I always thought you were a little manga asian girl.  No, really, i mean it.

The scenary looks spectacular!  It reminds me of Tasmania (the little island on the bottom of australia which really is not so little)

We call what you are doing there bushwalking in australia.

Love esther

:biggrin:

Yep, I'm a guy, and a large one at that.  I used my real mug over at DAZ until the new forum was unleshed.  I think I used it here for a short time, but I liked the render of Ciel, which is a morph of Xin Xin, so I put it up (even updating it with PP2012), and have been confusing folks ever since.

Does this mean you really do carry a machine gun, Esther? 

That is Mt. Monadnock, in southern New Hampshire, about two hours from Boston.  The tree line is very low there, less than 3000 ft (not sure why, as it is 4500 ft. farther north).   Here are some pics of our hike on Mt Washington (still in New Hampshire, but farther north) last month...

I dropped a Note to Stacey but didn't hear back, which I hope means there is a second chance sale coming; we'll see.  I have an unexpected expense though; my everyday desktop computer died today; I'm prety sure it's the Motherboard, as switching in a spare power supply didn't help. :sad:

Machine gun?  Not usually but it depends what sort of mood I'm in.  

Well actually I'm from australia so we don't even have guns here.

Love esther

PS does that mean you get a new computer? Or just a new part of a computer?

Just very big knives? :lol:

Whoah! I see they can be "as long a 2.1 metres"... cripes! :blink:

Even longer than Victoria 4 is (apparently) tall...

my prime expired today. oh well.  maybe there'll be a christmas time promotion to rejoin.
