after reading some of the recent posts I've decided to "not sell" any more boxes of rocks ! ------- it's just too hard to try finding packing material that anyone likes ---maybe closer to xmas there will be more "colorful" packing material available --- I had also contacted the post office about making the boxes bigger and their "reply" was a definite " NO!" ---- seems like I've caused fourteen work comp. cases already and they are running out of employees --------- I will therefore only sell "ugly" rocks from now on and in smaller amounts with no pics in advance ---- ;D ;D ---YOU'VE been WARNED! before !--- and don't check the "for sale forum " either ! ;D

Dave, That's not fair! Don't let all the people who have complained about your lack of packing paper ruin it for the rest of us! Way To Go People! You just spoiled the Dave Boxes for everyone else. THANKS ALOT!! Steve

Now Snowdog - there's no need to go changing your ways - we all knew what we were getting into - we've got no one to blame but ourselves. No need for you to spend all that time and energy trying to teach a snowdog new tricks. Besides, I'd be willing to be you don't have any "ugly" rocks. In all that I've ordered from you, there was ONE rock that I thought was kinda ugly (when I squinted my eyes) and that was only till I cut that sucker open. Not to mention the good lessons you've taught us - never, ever, pick up a flat rate box without a weight belt and a couple of spotters. If the post office hasnt' caught on to this yet ...well....they must learn at the same speed they deliver.

Oh No, Snowdog! Please don't make hasty decisions you might later regret. And not all of us complained about your packing material...if you check you'll see that I was actually concerned that you had a faulty sale. There are so many here at RTH who can benefit from how you pack a box. Why, you could even take pictures step by step so that we could all practice how it's done. And think of all the innocent Newbies who haven't even gotten here yet. Would you deny them the opportunity of a Snowdog Pack? Could you ignore their pleas? I can only hope that after you get a good night's rest you'll see the wisdom of continuing on this path of amazing packings that you have begun. You could be a beacon of bright inspiration for the rest of us. Don't do it, Snowdog. Don't stop packing and selling and giving the USPS a raison d'etre! Please! Your country and your fellow RTHers need you. I'm going to go have a good cry now. Lady B

I could have sworn that box you sent me was soaked in water, stretched out, packed wet and dried in the truck. Are you getting a kick back from these Workmans Comp. Lawyers? john

The bad thing of all this is, if Dave doesn't over pack a box for someone from now on they might feel jipped.

;D ;D --- See, it's just like I thought ! -- I told everyone to stay away from the "for sale " forum and what do 50 people do ?? --- go and look anyway !! ;D ---- just for that I'm going to post some pics and lower the price !! ---- there take that ! ;D ;D ;D I am going to send packing material only! -------- I looked at that pic jasper again and decided that it isn'r really any good so am taking it off --------- but the red/yellow packing mat is hard enough to withstand the postal deliveries !

Oops. Caught us red-handed, or is it red-eyeballed? I know my eyes are burning after an hour on the board...

Dave, its about time you started listening to my complaints. Good for you. Of course you know they only apply to other people. You are still free to make direct offers to me for any rocks you need to get rid of. ;D I love connrocks packing material. It really comes in handy.

;D ;D --- I only posted this for all the spouses out there ( you could show them the first part and say --"see there aren't anymore to be had )" --- then when another arrives you could say " I didn't buy a box of "Rocks" --- I just got a box of packing material !! ;D ;D ----------- and another 50 people when to the "for sale " forum ! --- naughty ! naughty ! and don't look at the pics there either ! ;D dtcmor --- you were almost able to withstand the pressure but did give in !-- lasted two days ! ;D --- we'll see how much will-power the rest have !---- I heard the pennies rattling in tonya's bank ! ---- and don't think steve can hold out much longer either ! ;D

I had a fleeting moment when I thought "wait...he's says he's not "selling"..so...that must mean he's GIVING AWAY ROCKS!" I peed my pants with excitement before reality set in. Note to self - put on Depends before reading snowdog posts.

HERM!!!!!
Well Dave I tried for a third time to repack the lace agate- I give up- There is no way a human being could pack that box- I think you have come here from the FUture- to expliot the use of a shrink ray or something- Well what ever you do I LOVE IT- now off to the for sale section- just to take a little peek....

Bob is a very popular name. I'm sure there are lots of husbands named "Bob". I'm not the only wife to a Bob. Why is everyone looking at me?
(Go back to sleep, Bob. It's just someone trying to cause a little trouble. Of course I didn't buy any more rocks, Bob! Just go to sleep. Want me to sing to you? OK. There's Rock of Ages, Rock Around the Clock, She Loves Me Like a Rock, Rock-a-Bye, Baby. Sleep, Bob, Sleep; perchance to dream of another box of rocks.)
As if I would ever buy a box of rocks without clearing it with Bob first. Nope. Nope. Must be some other Lady with a husband named Bob.
Lady Bob's wife B
