That’s why I love my Mac. It automatically opens iPhoto when I plug my memory card into my scanner/printer.

Approx £10 per $100 for customs plus another £12 handling charge. Then the postage normally costs $60 for a large Dragon.
So thats about $250 for the dragon, $60 for postage then $45 ish for customs.
On top of that i have just started university and i havent got a job, mum gives me £60 a month to live off of. Because i can’t get any grants i have no spending money at all….
🙁 🙁
Woii! 😯 Griffiness, you are a truly devoted fan, laboring under complications like those. You have a lovely and varied collection–I have to congratulate you on your taste! Just don’t malnourish yourself for dragons, eh? I ate a lot of Top Ramen in school because money was tight but I insisted on buying my favorite anime series on videotape. 😳 As it was, I washed a lot of dishes and slung a lot of hash in the cafeteria. Learned plenty about institution food! (My dorm-mates thought the cafeteria called it Swiss Steak because the meat slices had holes punched in them. Wrongo! The slices had holes in them all right, but that was because the cut of beef came from a part of the cow that had lots of tubes in it. :twisted:)
Ha ha thats quite funny, when i come home for weekends or Christmas i stash as much food up in my room and take it back to uni with me! Saves me buing it and i can save for Windstones yay!

That’s funny, but everyone does it. I can just imagine your folks, “We just bought groceries, but the cubbard sure seems bare…”
😀 😀 😀 My Brown Male Griffin arrived today! (In one piece!)
Here he is making the Brown Female Griffin’s aquaintence.

The Brown MALE Griffin was bought off eBay recently and didn’t have his original packaging. I was worried he would arrive broken like the Black Male Griffin tha I bought of eBay earlier this year. Kyrin fixed him up for me though. I wasn’t worried about the Brown Female at all, she came straight from the factory.
I’ve actually had the brown female since they came out in the Windstone store. I just thought it was interesing to see how different she looks from my new Male. She’s much darker than he is.
Believe me, I am glad they both arrived intact. I don’t think my heart could have taken another broken Windstone. I’ve had three retired or hard-to-find pieces come to me broken when I bought them off eBay.
Congrats on the happy couple, pegasi 😀 They’re lovely!
I finally got the rest of the pics into photobucket. I named them all… I pet them from time to time… but at least they are loved 🙄 Here’s the middle shelf of my bookcase-turned-Windstone case. Spike the peacock fledge, Scarlet the lap, and Shenlong the (scratching) Dragon Lord 😆 Curlie added for visual enhancement.
Next to these guys, Iris the rainbow mom, Jules the emerald male, Nataku the white young, and Gem, their hatching kid. That silver PYO lurking in the back was done by dragonmedley.
The top shelf. My baby Vulcan the BG emp and Neptune the spec, babysitting the little royal brown hatchers. The hatching emp is Arthur and the kinglet is Mordred.
And finally the manga shelf that is slowly getting taken over as well. Owl lamp Archie, cat wizard Harry, and Guinea pig Frederick.
Man, Megani – all those names! 😆 What’s up with the white young? He looks part gold…
Congrats, Pegasi! I’m so glad your griffin made it in one piece.Griffiness wrote:Ha ha thats quite funny, when i come home for weekends or Christmas i stash as much food up in my room and take it back to uni with me! Saves me buing it and i can save for Windstones yay!
Now that’s the way to do it! 😆 Besides, the food from home is always better. I knew one girl on our floor who came back after Christmas with half a roast turkey. She tried to make stuffing on the dorm stove to go with it . . . it didn’t work out as planned the first time, but second time around it wasn’t too crunchy. 😛
