As you may know, Alkaline Trio is my favorite band. I love the music now more than ever. I wanted to be a member of the Alkaline Trio fan club. I joined the Pact in April 2008, but received my goods 9 months later. It was a drag to ask every single day when I would get home from work, "Mother Dear, did I receive any packages today?" Each day the answer was the same, I would have to still wait to have my wonderful items. I emailed the help center about my shirt not coming 3 or 4 times and was always told that it was just taking a long time because there was an extremely high volume of new members. I looked online and found some people with the same problem that I was having. Most were complaining about not getting the shirt for a little over a month to about 3 months, so I just waited patiently, but after 6 months I was a bit irritated. I had gotten to the point that I thought that I was getting cheated and would never get the shirt or that someone stole the things from the porch of my house. I finally emailed them with a tone that was more aggressive than my usual pleasant diction. I learned that it is not always the best to be kind, sometimes you have to show the Blood Pact some tough love to get your things. I finally have my gear. It was only about a week after I emailed that I received my things. I was filled with glee when I put the shirt on, it was just glorious.

I'm actually kind of scared of that shirt.
I'm with Heather. It kind of looks like a trident. Scary. And what the heck is a blood pact? I know I would never want to make one. And to think I helped you get those things by sending them with Ryan. What kind of a mother dear am I?
Oops, I didn't see that I was logged in as Howard. We have the eMac up and running and I forgot that it automatically puts us into the blog under someone else's name, even when you start to log in. Sorry. That would be confusing. I also wanted to comment that I am glad that you learned how not to be taken advantage of. Sometimes you have to be firm but not mean. Good job!
ALKALINE TRIO... great band? Or GREATEST band?
