I understand that Jeff.  Knowing where I live, we generally don't have any issues either.  If anything, the local neighborhood kids have gotten into old junk and played games with drivers by.  We had a lawn tractor battery stolen once, but that's about it.  Being gated, I totally get it.  Someone in the complex must have gotten it and just hasn't had a minute to find you yet.  Fingers are crossed!!!  Yes, UPS will consider the shipper the "owner" of the property as it didn't arrive, and they are the ones who "hired" UPS to ship it.  Hopefully the guy will go about the proper measures to help you out and do what he can IF it doesn't show up.

Positive vibes coming your way Nela.  Close your eyes and imagine sitting on a beach, somewhere.  Sun on your face and try to enjoy a little relaxation.  I know sitting around all the time isn't easy.  Kisses and gentle hugs to you!

The plans sound good. While I don't always like a plan, I do like a basic idea of what's up.  So, thank you for that Jeff.  My flight should be arriving at 3:30 on Friday... assuming there's no delays for major plane de-icing as Feb. is generally our coldest and snowiest month here in NY.  Zurf, I plan to be really cold on my way into the airport so that I don't have to lug around any really heavy coats in FL.  LOL!

Congrats!  Our 11 years has been difficult enough.   I look forward to the day that I say it's been 20 something, and 30 something.  Bless you and YOUR #1! 

Thanks guys for all your suggestions!  So far, the Marquis Silk and Steel 11's are on there and it's SOOOO MUCH EASIER TO PLAY!  Jim also grabbed me a pair of SP 12's.  I don't really notice much difference in the sound from the Elixirs to the Marquis, other than being a hair muted, but NOT BAD!  Jim hated the Elixirs and thinks it sounds better.  Could be just his opinion of the brand, or being the one standing in front of it maybe there is a difference to him.  The good thing though, I don't think I'll need to take the guitar in anywhere now!  I still think the nut could stand to be lowered a hair, but it's not so terrible that I can't play it anymore.  I can't believe those nanowebs are so stiff!

Thanks Dino for the song suggestions!  I actually have been working on The Rose now that I can play where I need to for the right sound!    Jim's already planning to maybe join us at some point via Skype during ChordieStock... I hope you will too!

Well... I guess from reviews, the 000-15M is not suggested for 12's - this must be why.  Jim's at the store now.  No custom lights available.  So I told him to see if they have the FX or the D'Addario Silk and Steel in the 12's or 11.  He grabbed Martin Silk N Steel.  We shall see!  I'll let ya'll know what I think.  My Elixirs on there now are only a week or so old, so it'll be a good comparison.  LOL!

Toots, I'm scared to mess with the standard set up on my Martin for fear of having to replace anything.  The string height is just right, but up close to the nut has never played right for me.  If trying different strings doesn't fix the issues, I may just take to to where I bought it and see if they can lower the nut a bit for me.  That was the first thing they said they could do when I bought it, but they suggested against it.  Said I'd get better, then be upset.  LOL!  I guess I didn't get better!  ha ha!

Correction, that's the price without the Min-Etune... it's $2K with it!  AHHH!

Sweet lord, "Puff................... the magic dragon"?  Really Jeff?  You want to try THAT again?  ha ha ha ha!  (on the other hand, I just found if you transpose it +5, there's no Bm!  LMAO!)

My songbook is printed paper sheets, so I'll have to take a look and see what else I've got (you all know it's a lot of easy stuff). 

Dino - I thought about the Epi, although... I don't have a hard case for it.  It's a dread, and my Martin is a 000 size.  My little classical could fit, but... probably not worth bringing it.  I'm going back and forth on bringing the Martin or not.  One minute I think yes, the next I think no.  LOTS of time for me to go back and forth.  It'll likely end up coming with me, as I imagine my hubster will insist that he bought it for me so that I can play it! 

Honestly, I'm on the fence as to if I should bring the guitar or not.  I've heard some airlines won't let you gate check... and I think I'd be a mess if I were in morning all weekend over my baby if something happened to it.  Girls never travel light, so it would mean one more bag I can bring along too   JOKE!    Seriously though, I think I may just play whatever Jeff's got hanging around.  We can't ALL play at the same time anyhow.  Besides, I sing way better than I play, so it's ok if I have to sit my drunk fingers out for a few!

A men's X-large is good with me (I LOVE t-shirts for jammies, and in the event I get too drunk and forget to shop, I can give it to JIM!  LOL).  Nothing on the back necessary.   

YAY!  The Metalizer will be there!  I'm pretty personable.  The wife should feel comfy, and I have a feeling Lizzy is a GREAT sport too!  Also let her know that I've met both Jeff and Zurf (Paul too if he shows), and they are perfect gentlemen and great people.  NO other way I'd put myself into the situation of being thousands of miles from home without the hubby with me and a ton of men around.    GOOD GUYS and she'll love them too!!
