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.

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

Finally got it yesterday, June 10th. Only took 123 days.

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!

Mine came in the mail 2 days ago, and it still shows as yellow.. No worries, you will have it any day now. Congrats in advance.
