Hi, Brenda. As someone who has been known to 
lament from time to time about her bad luck in 
catching updates and finding cels she wants, I 
can completely understand and sympathize with 
your post. Everyone here has pretty much said 
what I wanted to say, but let me reiterate that 
even though it feels awful to miss out on a cel 
you really want, there is always another around 
the corner. 

A couple of times in the past I have watched 
dream cels go to someone else because I didn't 
catch the update or didn't have the money and lo 
and behold a few months down the road either a 
similar cel appeared or the original winner of 
the cel was willing to sell or trade. Personal 
galleries are great in this respect. Don't be 
afraid to ask - I have had nothing but positive 
experiences from this forum and this group of 
people. Just hang in there! ^_^
