Thanks guys. I never did make it to Walmart. However, I did go to Ihop and Albertsons. I never paid attention to them before, but I was pleasantly surprised that neither were posted. :txflag:

Hmm... Did I do the Ihop hip-hop? Can someone help me with the Albertsons...? I picked a tough one. lol

Status went to Manufacturing Pending Sunday and Monday, then Manufacturing yesterday, then mailed this morning. Woo Hoo! The top line of my status still shows Application: Received with a yellow icon (triangle with exclamation point) beside it. What's up with that? Shouldn't it have a green checkmark?

My experience is that it never changed from yellow. But, I did have some extraordinary circumstances since it took over 4 months to get mine and the status hadn't changed from Manufacturing until a couple days before I got it.

If your status is "mailed" you should get it no time. Congrats!
