Thanks for clarifying that!! Wish I had the luxury of having Molly be my Play Toy Weekend Scoot Around Car, but NO. Trying to get some finances in order, get Molly paid off, and get Hubby his Go Mobile, instead of the hand me down '01 Dodge Durango that I let him have!! Then Molly can be the Garage Queen, hopefully.

Ken it's not just a magazine...it's J.D. Power!! There is a big discussion about it in the Minis in General Thread, General Mini Talk Forum.

Here's a Link:

cked the contents, everything is in there.

will try out the new coconut duster. it smells like a janitor's cleaning gear but oh well.

this free journal that i got from them is a tiny little thing. i thought i was more like a 6x8 booklet but it's more like a 3x4 index card thingie. also got their new sprayheads so will start converting my empty griot's bottles into prima's new home.

got some other stuff as well.

Hmmmmmm ... a big marble toilet would be pretty darn exciting ! What better way to spend those five minutes of your day ? I mean, you're going to spend that five minutes sitting on SOMEthing. Might as well be some gorgeous marble, right ?

But no. Not a marble crapper.

No, they're fancy-shmancy plastic! And they were REALLY hard to find!

Ken, you might as well be speaking Japanese to me. Wait... no, I might understand a word or two of Japanese. Make that Arabic.

And Mel... even though they're not made of marble, I'm sure they're just lovely.

oh, this is wat's in my music room right now:

FANTOM -G8

this is wat's coming to me in 2 days.
FANTOM -G7

bascially the same thing less the nice weighted keyboard. the new one will be used for more electronic sounds, the one i have more for acoustic sounds.

this hobby is kinda pricy too...
