    marv, I have totally busted the budget so I don't want to think about that. I was hoping for a FF sale and could cover 3 across the front with LsiM's for around a little over 2k. I really just want some feedback from peeps that know them so I can plan for the future. If that ever gets here. I have looked over their offerings and just like a lot of things, the sky's the limit.

    What?!?!
    If your urine can burn a hole in fabric, you should probably talk to the woman you recently slept with and let her know she "may" have a problem.

    I couldn't find the song but it reminds me of a song by the Stretch Links
    called 'Oh Lovely Love Is.' "I gave her twenty dollars now it hurts when
    I pee."

    back on track... did you get the LSMis? If so, get the center if you have
    the room for it. If not... the sky is the limit! :)
