Royale with Cheese Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) I learned to check the details for shipping much better....especially where its coming from. I ordered an probiotic that I saw on Ebay that I use on a regular basis. I ordered it because it was a real steal of a deal. It's been a couple of days and checked on the shipping status. It's not coming until November 3rd. My shipping is going to take 5 months.....from China. Edited July 18, 2018 by Royale with Cheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing of the trial was amazing and the quote about the FBI agents surveiling McDonalds winners instead of terrorists was a bit odd and a head scratcher. It all happened during the Clinton administration so nothing would surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
