Today, I went in again to Amazon.com and again viewed my saved shopping cart. I had bought a brand new graphics pad a couple years ago. $600. A 12x19 inch writeable surface. Never even opened it for the longest time. It took me about 6 months just thinking it over before I bought it. It is real techy and I have issues with technical things.

Anyway, someone TALKED me into helping a friend of hers by giving him work and he STOLE the pad while still in the box (when I left to go buy his lunch). I did not discover the theft til I felt ready to deal with the technology and looked high and low for it. I have looked for it a long time. It is gone. And since it was stolen, she has found out he stole thousands of dollars from her and other people that have helped him.

That kind of loss put me off buying it again but since I have been doing these transformation photos for MDers, I needed the pad. That was the original reason for me having bought it in the first place. I wanted to put angel's wings on people that wanted to make angels out of their loved ones or people and pets that have passed over. I did it for a man in MD years ago (for his late wife which turned out beautiful) and it was hard work doing it. I did one for myself as well. So I started my research again.

I only searched for a couple weeks maybe. I read reviews of all the types you can buy, the sizes, the accessories, etc. The same one I bought before was the best looking one to me, sizewise, programs and accessories included and abilities. I saved the cheapest one in my amazon shopping cart. And I have been going back in there and just LOOKING at it. Thinking it over. Thinking of the cost.

I went in the first time after I saved it and just looked. Next time I went in... a book notice that I had saved in my cart said it went up in price. So I looked again at the cost of the pad. I looked for another one cheaper. I found one! They didn't have any used ones except for at the same cost as the lowest cost new one. Hell with that! I will buy it new of course!

Went back today, again, looking at the cost and pondering...do I need/want this? Last time I was in there I talked to my guidance. I said...If I am supposed to have this...make it be here when I decide to buy at this cost ...or better. Well, I did my usual. Looked to see if there was a better cost. Funny, but my shopping cart notified me the 12x12 Intous had gone down $20. $371 something. I checked the 12x19 prices and DAYUM! There was a used one for $380. The manufacturer's warranty and all accessories included. Supposedly still in the box.

MINE! Ok, to me, the lower priced 12x12 and the like new used one at the almost same cost...that was Spirit telling me...fool...get the tool. Yessir! I did! I can't WAIT til I can use this on my transformer photos now! Omg! Patience IS a virtue! I got that sucker for HALF of the retail recommended price WITH the original warranty AND all accessories!

I love you, Spirit, God and all my spiritual crew! I listened! Gee, when you LISTEN to your guidance, good things DO happen! I'm listening!
