A family member is being gifted a pallet, or more, of large lead/acid 12V batteries.
Greyhound doesn't ship hazardous materials. UPS, FedEx,... will ship for an arm and a leg. All ideas are greatly appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Roger |

Time for Cap'n Krusty, Defender of the English Language, to step in. "Gifted"? "Gift" is NOT a verb. "Give" is a verb, and "is being given" describes what is happening here (other than the massacre of the language, I mean). Gifted is an adverb generally used to describe a person with unusual gifts, like an idiot savant, a woman with spectacular features, or a football star. "Gifted", used in this context, sounds like fingernails scraping across a blackboard ..................... You may now go back to our regularly scheduled programming .......... The Cap'n |
