Re: Magazine spring myth

Not to sound like a know-all, but I'm honestly surprised folks don't know this already. When exactly did it (erroneously )become "common sense" that springs wear out by staying in a compressed state in a magazine?

Re: "Waiting Room"

Well the wife's CHL was mailed yesterday and my background check is still under review. This is driving me crazy and it is only going to get worse when she has hers in hand. :grumble

Re: "Waiting Room"

I think that time has slow down even more now that the status is available online. Two of my wife's employees have recently received their CHL and it was right around 60 days for both. That puts me and the wife right around July 30th. I can't help but hope that when I get to work someday soon and ...
