      Did I mention to you that we have a few copies of the Handbook with blemished covers?  They have some white spots or streaks on the cover, but the insides are fine.  We are offering them for $7 instead of $13.99.  I can't save you anything on the shipping cost, but at least you would get something off the price of the Handbook.  Let me know if you are interested.

  2. The only problem with the pain pills is they make me fall asleep! I'm taking extra strength Tylenol during the day and I take something stronger when I go to bed or if the pain just gets to be too much during the day. I had problems with my knee before I had problems with my hip. I tore my left lateral meniscus many years ago. Most of the time it didn't bother me, but as the years went by it deteriorated more. They plan to do surgery on my knee eventually, but the hip had to be done first.
  3. Unfortunately, yes. My other knee is also bad, but not as bad. This one feels like someone is hitting my funny bone and won't stop. It's especially bad when I try to stand up.
  4. Yes, we are back open again, but I'm moving a bit slow, so please be patient. If I don't get to the phone fast enough, please leave a message, including your first and last name and your phone number, and I will call you back ASAP. Thank you! Mary
  5. If you have a problem accessing the digital Journal, please contact our office at NRGhomeoffice@gmail.com instead of posting it on MSW. We do not regularly scan MSW for comments or questions about our Journals. If you contact our office, we can try to help you within 48 hours. If you just leave a comment on MSW, it might be weeks before we see that you have a problem. Thank you!
  6. Just in time for Father's Day, we have our Journal back issues on sale! Regularly priced $15 each, they are now being offered for $5 - $7.50.

  7. OK, now it makes sense. Your post office turned it over to DHL, so that's why the post office tracking stopped. I had that happen with someone else. The post office considered it a package and DHL considered it a letter and while they decided what it was, it just sat there. Try contacting DHL for information on your package.
  8. We tend to have a lot of problems with Germany's mail. I don't know why. Everything shows up eventually, but sometimes it's a long wait. As of this morning, it is still in Niederaula. Maybe you can try tracking it from your end or contact your post office and see if they can find out what it going on. The tracking number should be on the email that our webstore sent you. If you no longer have that information, let me know and I will send you an email. I don't want to list it here for all the world to see! Mary
  9. Your first order is getting strange. I checked the tracking and as of April 14 it has been in Niederaula, but now it says: Pre-Shipment Origin Post is Preparing Shipment I hope that doesn't mean that they are sending it back to the US!
  10. Someone at the post office probably didn't know the difference between Austria and Australia!
  11. That said, I'm not really prepared to purchase copies and mail them overseas as I am not sure how I would process payments. I am but a simple ship model builder...😉

      Thanks, I wasn't looking for any myself - I was asking for information so people in Australia could get one.

  12. Hi Mary. The bookstore where I purchased my copy doesn't normally mail books or magazines I believe. People normally visit the store to order and pick up their purchases. They had about a half dozen copies when I was in the store, so not a huge stock. I could ask them if they expect more if you like.

    Cheers,

    Peter

      No, that's OK.  I just thought that if they were selling them, I could refer people to them instead of ordering from us.  We still have bout 70 of them here.  I hate to see people paying up to $35 for shipping if they can get one locally.  What is the name of the store and where is it located?

  13. Thank you for your comments. I will look into getting a cardboard sleeve for future overseas orders. Unfortunately that may raise the shipping cost. I hope we can find a way to compromise and not raise the price any higher! Mary
  14. Hi Peter, Does your local hobby shop ship items? Maybe some other members from Australia would like to contact them for a copy. The shipping is indeed outrageous from the US to Australia. It's around $35. People, please PM Peter so we don't fill up the website with questions about the hobby shop. Thanks!
