i don't consider myself an overly emotional person, but gina and i went to an art museum years ago and i was nearly in tears over something i saw there.

it was a statue of an old man carrying a jug.

it was made two thousand years ago.

A needlepoint picture of a cat that is framed and covered and hanging on a wall and a half dozen afghans that were made by my late wife.

Guess she really was the love of my life.

Scootergirl................nice to hear that you have that wedding ring. My daughter has her mothers ring but I still have my wedding band and it is on my keyring.

well here we are (us citizens that is) waiting with baded breath our w-2 forms from employers that list our earnings, and deductions for the last calendar year.

as ex-dubs, did you all take as deductions charitible contributions made to the tower?

and is the literature we had to 'donate' for considered a legal deduction?

HappyDad

Income taxes are illegal and I never did nor will pay them. (voluntarily that is)

Seems that I am robbed every month. Call it armed robery (IRS men carry guns), theft by deception, fraudulent conspiricy, mugged or whatever name is given to crime. If I was self employed, I would definetely find ways to "adjust" my books.

i recently started learning about it and bought a brand new total gym (the infomercial by chuck norris and christy brinkley).

it sells for $1,495.00 if you call the infomercial number.

Scootergirl.............

I think I will wind up doing more buying than selling myself. You're right! Whatever you want or need is on ebay. Lots of new stuff too!

Kaykay,

From what I've seen, anything and everything can sell on ebay. You can see if there is something similar listed there and what it is going for.

You're right though! The internet is the information world now and always changing.

They are Sooooooooo Over-rated !!

ever listened to someone who goes on and on about someone or something (and i don't mean jehovah's witnesses here!

) like they were the best thing since sliced bread.....and try as you might you just can't see the attraction?.

my brother-in law must have every sodding elvis record/picture/memorabilia thing going, and he goes on and on about him.

City Fan.........

Dame Edith is some middle aged pudgy guy with an English accent (ok my jwd bros across the pond.....I know I talk funny too) who is dressed as a lady. He was on several TV shows recently because he is doing a US tour. I never heard of Dame Edith until this past year but "it" sells out the finest concert houses in the country. I guess the elite of society gets their rocks off with crossdressers who are funny! And it is funny from what I saw.......but overated.

All the promos tout her/him as being hilarious and now bringing his/her humor to the US.

The whole getup sort of reminds me of Le Cage au Folles where they are all men in drag. A late uncle of mine was very into this type of show (men dressed as women) and he was as straight as an arrow.

I just don't get this type of humor when men have to be in drag. Give me George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Chapelle and the old ones like Red Skelton etc.

I'm open for explanations if anyone is into this.

I recently started learning about it and bought a brand new Total Gym (the infomercial by Chuck Norris and Christy Brinkley). It sells for $1,495.00 if you call the infomercial number. The one I got is the model previous to the one that is now advertised. It sold for $1,395.00. There were about 75 brand new units being sold and I finally got one for $300.00 Body Builder plus shipping. Great deal as far as I'm concerned!

So then I decided to sell a few things. My first item sold today. It was a David Clark headset used when I was an active pilot. I tried to get $100.00 at the airport and no one wanted it. It sold today on Ebay for $207.00. I LOVE EBAY! I also have some machinist tools listed and they are currently being bid on.

Now......I found an old book in my closet...it is a soft cover book printed by the Bible Students. The title is:

SOUVENIR NOTES

BIBLE STUDENTS' CONVENTION

1910

(how can I stop from double spacing?)

It has the crown and cross on the cover and a lot of pictures of the "elite" from the early society. It is in good condition and only one page out of 300 has a part missing. Since a 1934 yearbook just sold for $150.00 on Ebay, I was wondering if any of you think I should start the bidding on this book at $100.00

Any input will be appreciated.

Time for a chat?

every year about around christmas i get a knock on my door from jehovah?s witnesses.

this is not something i discourage or dislike.

i believe encouraging debate on important issues is almost frowned on in western culture, and i genuinely enjoy the chance to discuss and learn.

HappyDad

Hi Mrfunkleberry,

And welcome! If you hang around here for awhile, you will learn much about how the religion has affected the majority of us.

I was an elder in the religion and even had parts at the major conventions in my area. But that doesn't mean anything now or then. Finding out what it REALLY was and now being free is what means something. That something is called FREE AND HAPPY!

PAMELA ANDERSON.......................

Fantastic hepatitus C infected silicone enhanced body (probably from being wrongly "stuck") ........but gorgeous looking!

Personally.........I think a woman who wears her lipstick out of the natural lip line looks like a 7 year old girl playing with mommys cosmetics. There are other personalities who do this but can't think of their names right now.

Oh........yeah.........the late Milton Beryl (sp) when he was in drag! And Dame Edith (dude/dudette) who is fantastically funny but went wild with the lipstick.

ALL OVERATED!
