toilet = lavi
fanny = vagina

lavi makes sense

Well I had ordered my new camera from buy.com which got it from another distributor but they gave me the run around on the expected ship date, back order and so forth so I found a good deal on ebay, $1011...it's taking forever to ship though and then parcel post (in the USA that means a "slow boat from China" as far as the delivery time).

Parcel post

and the stupid thing is that 9/10 parcel post is only like a few dollars cheaper!!

The other advantage buying from a reputable place, your buy.coms, tigerditrect, etc....you know when the dang thing ships!!

now I've got to wait on this NTAC to get back to me...I just want to know when it ships so I can count the 7-10 days for parcel post!!

Doesn't ebay tell you when things ship? I suppose people could lie about that though.

I got burned by the "too good to be true" category...$900 camera on ebay (the item typically ~ $250 more than that)

thankfully PP refunded the money!
