Shopping & Other Fun

Okie, I've been on quite a tear, often using other people's money [img]smile.gif[/img]
>My GF needed an air conditioner, so I found a good one for 150$ after tax! (Sears Kenmore 5400btu with remote, new in the box but about 2-3 years old)
>Then I found one for Willow too, for 250$ after tax (Sears Kenmore 8000btu, one year newer model, with remote, new in the box)
>I found a 45 pint de-humidifier in the back lane, cleaned it up and it works! Took to Willow's (new cost apx $250)
>Went looking for a window for Willow's kitchen, found one! Measures 28"x72" (tall & skinny, just like the one it's replacing) triple pane casement. Regular $708!! I got it for $175 (both before tax)I installed it last Friday.
>The GF needed a new Queen size bed. I found a 6 piece bedroom suite at a garage sale for $150. Armoure, headboard, 2 nightstands, boxspring & mattress, all in great condition & very clean.
>And finally, I found a bike for $10! It has 3 baskets, 3 little lights, bell & other cool stuff! Haven't actually driven it yet, lol! But hey, how cool is a $10 bike, eh? Totally!

The bell alone is worth $10. :)

???There's OTHER fun besides shopping???? [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Sure is CB, I hear sex runs a close 2nd. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Suppose you're shopping for sex?

Would that kick it into 1st place? :P

**kicks Jace**
**runs after ski**
Well, it is possible to have fun without shopping being involved... or so I've been told.

I love to shop... and spend other peoples money, it's great! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well this week mum and I bought an elliptical crosstrainer. If you don't already know what that is I can't help you. We bought it from The Warehouse $287. Its pretty goodquality for the price considering when we hired one it cost us 4100 for a month and the better machine cost between $600 and $1000. So i have to set it up and I can exercise while watching cartoons.

Also bought a snuggle sack, yes laugh like my friends did but for the first time this winter I could sit at the computer toasty and warm without needing the heater permanently blaring.

Oh and my latest anime figure purchase arrived yesterday.

*purr,dribble*

Wow, such major purchases.

Um ... I bought some hairspray.

*gasps* That figure is HOT!!

I bought clothes and shoes for my kid. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ummm...yeah. Very hot, for an inanimate object. I got new shoes. o_O

I bought some more beer.......

I bought a couple of Avengers TPBs and the new revised Axis & Allies game for my bro.

And let me tell you, you haven't seen shopping until you've seen CB tearing through a NYC comic book store, let me tell you. Leaves quite a first impression. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

You should've seen her in SF at the Virgin Records store. ;)

I'm surprised the magnetic stripe on her card still works. [img]eek.gif[/img]

It works too well, that's the problem. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oooo! Got a HOT mental image off those two remarks!!!

Well, thank you. But that's actually a picture of me almost falling off a camel cuz I didn't listen to the nice camel leading lady when she said "Don't take you hands off the rail becuase the camel will shake every now and then."

Always listen to the camel leading lady.

Truer words were never spoken.

What do camels and babies have in common? Wear safety glasses around the ornery ones. They'll spit at you. Unimpressed by the cuteness of anything that spits at me.

Well, a baby does take a few months to develop. [img]wink.gif[/img]

My baby has found the joys of blowing bubbles. And spitting food and drink out, it's quite strange.

BF and I bought a 60 G hard drive and Windows XP Pro (to replace a 250 M and '98). Life is good.

And computers are just like babies! [img]wink.gif[/img]

Your computer is blowing bubbles and spitting food & drink out at you? [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

...and I thought mine had a nasty virus.

The image I got was priceless... heh
