Okay, I have bombarded you all recently with the info I have collected on my Old World Building Ads, Shadow Ads, Faded Ads, etc etc (whatever you want to call them). Thank you for all of your interest, glad to have something you all enjoy to such a degree that is such a twisted and odd interst and hobby of mine. It works for me at least! 
On another note though and just to add a bit o variety to things I have a few things I would like you to consider at certain times in your life. This is in direct response to the crazy people I deal with on occassion and I just want to clear some things up. Some basic Telephone/Ordering Etiquette outlines.
When watching an infomercial on TV for something that you JUST HAVE TO HAVE.......
*Please know what you are calling for.
*Please realize the costs involved. If you are questioning the costs, thats fine but, at least know your starting point (if possible).
*Please treat the person on the other end of the line as a person with 1/2 a brain and remember they are being paid very little to take your call.
*Patience is a virtue and you need all the help you can get so when the call actually exceeds your 2 minutes of precious time just listen and say NO to what you don't want. You are allowed to say NO you just aren't allowed to scream, whine, and basically rant your day's problems...it's not helping you get your order completed any more quickly.
*If you actually think that because I have taken your name, address and credit information you can hang up and you will actually get your order - you are greatly mistaken. Don't call me back two weeks later asking me where it is because you didn't have time to wait for the order to be finished, and processed so guess what --- YEP you have to do it all over again. Ya ditz. Oh yeah, BTW....you shouldn't call me about that because oh yeah, I don't care - I just take your order. You'll have to call another number and wait even longer for further assistance so - how precious was your time again? Duh. Next time use the INTERNET - it's a fabulous tool (hate to say that and loose my few pennies but, some people should dangit).
*I'm not allowed to tell you where I am working so, please don't ask - I don't like to lie. And no, that wasn't a dog you heard bark they don't let us bring animals in the office. Sigh.
*I really don't have any of these items so don't ask me if I do cuz I really can't give you any good "insider" information on it. DO you really think I want this crap? (Okay so I have a few things but - still, jeesh!).
*If you are calling from another country -
#1. Please ask first if we ship out to your country (or the country you want to ship to) the last thing I want to do is enter all of your information just to have to tell you that no, Istanbul doesn't qualify for free or rush shipping.
#2. If you're calling from Canada please use the American alphabet because getting that Postal Code is bad enough but trying to figure out in some odd language/short form really ticks me off and if I ask you repeatedly you might get it but, you dont. Silly Canadians (Nicest People other than that though).
Now, for the absolute morons:
*No, you cannot give me just the last 4 digits of your credit card number - this isn't the pyschic hotline.
*No, we can't just send you the stuff and hope you'll pay us later. I don't think I've seen an infomercial that offered COD since what - the 80's...where have you been? (And no wonder you're acting like this is the best thing since sliced bread too)
*No, I don't automatically ship it to the same address how the heck do I know where you want the thing shipped unless I ask?
*If you don't have time to place the order why did you call? What, am I supposed to call you at a better time?
*If you're lonely-- they have special numbers for that. I certainly don't get paid that much.
*If you think $7.95 is the most outrageous shipping and handling fee you have ever heard of and simply can't fathom the thought..I'm sorry but, I really don't want to hear about how Harriett Carter ships your stuff for $2.50.
Okay..thats it for now. I hope you enjoyed. Please share with your friends and family..it makes a great gift!
Please be kind to the person you are calling is all I am saying. Gosh- it could be me!!
You called me and I'm just trying to make a few cents - give me a break.
