Hi Everybody, Why is it that whenever I have to rush out to my elderly relative on an emergency call, I end up having a bad reaction to my dermatology medication? My skin has now broken out in sores. I wouldn't mind so much but I'm also allergic to her cats. This has been a 72 hours I'd like to forget.

Sorry to hear, Tyeth. I would try to see if you can get an allergic skin test to see what you're allergic to. I had to do that last summer which gave me a good idea of what was breaking me out and what to avoid. Hope you feel better. I'm also allergic to cats

Hi Infinit,
Thanks for the advice, but to be honest I already know what caused my reaction, it is the meds themselves and stress. The medication is cytotoxic and thins my skin lesions but lowers my immune system. Problem is the side effects get worse if I'm stressed. Luckily the swelling around my eyes has started to go down now.

So...to prepare for my company's Vice President visit today....I came into work at 1:30 am to make sure everything was perfect. I was willing to take the hit since I would be off tomorrow. Well.....they aren't coming today. They will be here tomorrow. So I've been here 13 hours....with 3 more hours to go.....AND I have to come in tomorrow. My feet are so swollen I'm probably going to have to cut my damn shoes off.

My new acolyte mask arrived today and the dip$#!% seller packed it in such a way that the mask absorbed impact and put serious cracks in it. Now I don't know if I'll have time to get another and get it painted before SWC.

Not lazy. It’s a smart business move to list forum colors because any potential customer not active on the forums wouldn’t know about them otherwise. As for the price increase, I have no idea. I don’t see why forum colors would be more than tri-Cree unless they’re using a higher quality LED to try to keep color consistency better. I know I had to send my catalyst staff in to have the yellow adjusted to be even for both sides when I first got it... maybe it’s an attempt at fixing that error. That’s all I have, unfortunately sad to see the increase

Lazy LOL
I'm not happy with $35 for FOC. But we can't all be happy all the time.

Yeah, I'm with Tx on the FOC thing. I'm configuring a sound saber now, and I don't need FOC badly enough that I'll pay $35 for it, but that's life. I'll also point out that the premium colors are hand tuned to that color, hence the price, it's possible that the $20 ones are a bit more tricky to dial in and take more time/work to do so.
This thread has the potential to go down a dark path. I'm watching to be sure we don't go down the slippery slope where we're simply criticizing US and their products.

Well when I first noticed they added those colors to the site's pick a color list for when you're picking options for building a lightsaber, they were all ten dollars, and now they are up to twenty. I would kind of like to know why, I mean the ten made sense, you used to pick one of the three extra colors at 5 plus 5 dollars in requisition, so where does the extra ten come from now. It be nice if it was explained or changed back.

Prices go up. This is just a simple fact that all businesses do. Whether its due to declining sales, rising costs (manufacturing, shipping, the countless other expenses) or any number of reasons. Hell, I looked at the first saber I ever bought from US and just a few years its now $30 more than it was then. This is not a new thing. US does a lot of sales though..plus the rewards points and the deal of the day. Time it right and you can get a saber for a steal.

It's also possible they simply weren't selling enough of those colors to keep the prices that low. Lots of variables here. I know it's frustrating, but it is what it is.

Correct me if I am wrong, but before, wasn't it in order to get a forum color you had to select a "premium color" (+5$) and then add like 15$ worth of requisition charges? If so, it would have cost 20$ either way. Maybe I am wrong, but I thought that was how it worked.
Even if it wasn't you now have instant access to the colors, and everyone can utilize them, not just those that know about them.

You're obviously wrong, since I already explained the 5 plus 5 Plus I used to have the forum colors topic bookmarked and I did it twice to get a sentinel yellow and DVA
