Fun Stuff...Off Topic(O/T)

[IIC]

Mrs. Billyjoe sometimes hints that I might be a cheapskate but she's too nice to come right out and call me one. You be the judge.

-----------Today I woke up in my 100 year old house bought for a pittance in 1982 because interest rates were 19% and I had a wad of cash at the time. Should have bought a couple more and sold them 10 years later. Kohl's is having a great sale today and who can pass that up? Jumping into my Honda Civic bought at half price because of a salvage title, I drive to the Marathon gas station. They have the cheapest gas in town, will sell you a $50 gas card for $48 and take 5 cents off extra on Sunday. All the $1 bills are burning a hole in my wallet. This spring I bought flats of tomatoes for $1.25 at an Amish auction. You can't grow them for that especially when you include the flat and plastic inserts. From those plants I've sold $250 of tomatoes at $1 per quart at my self serve stand. That's where all the dollar bills came from. Driving to Kohl's I get in a traffic jam and it bothers me as my normal 38MPG drops as I sit in traffic. Finally at the store. Everything is 40-70% off. Buying $35 worth of underwear, socks, and a bathing suit, I pay with 35 dollar bills . Had I spent $15 more they would have given me a $10 shopping card. My shopping spree was so successful I might do it again next year. Some may call me a cheapskate, but I'm just living within my means.

Don't forget that you give away USED books as contest prizes....Perhaps because you could find no one who would buy them???

Doug,
I never tried to sell them. And they are not all used. You just are mad
because you see "24 Essential Lessons for Investing Success" and "The Successful Investor" slipping from your grasp. Did I mention they were rare 1st editions?

Does anyone here or your kids have knowledge of "World of Warcraft"? My son is obsessed by it and tells me he ranks 87th out of 1.7million in raid progression, whatever that means. I told him there must be a way to make money at this. Any ideas?

He said; She said
He said . . . I don't know why you wear a bra; you've got nothing to put in it.
She said . . . You wear pants don't you?


He said . .... What have you been doing with all the grocery money I gave you?
She said . .....Turn sideways and look in the mirror!

He said... How many men does it take to change a roll of toilet paper?
She said . We don't know; it has never happened.

He said . .. Why is it difficult to find men who are sensitive, caring and Good-
looking?
She said . . . They already have boyfriends.

She said...What do you call a women who knows where her husband is ever y night?
He said .. .. . A widow.

He said . ... . Why are married women heavier than single women?
She said . . . Single women come home, see what's in the fridge and go to bed. Married women
come home, see what's in bed and go to the fridge.

Yes, there is. But to do so would pit him against about 20,000 Chinese kids who are more than happy to slave away mining "WoW Gold" for 75 cents/hour. Better luck may be had auctioning real stuff online at E-Bay or just out of the ol' garage. I hear you have a couple barely-read 1st edition prized investment guides laying around the house...

This is interesting, but pure crap as far as I am concerned. My mother just lived until almost 96 and her mother until 102. My other grandmother lived to 93. I have a LONG WAY to go here. Lots of time to raise a little hell here on earth -- i.e. to live life to the fullest! Riverbabe

Doug,
I was playing with the parameters and determined that you are sadistic. Lighten up, I've got a few more years to bother somebody. It might as well be you.

I'll bet you can't name 10 relatively well known people that lived to be 100 or older without looking it up. No biblical characters such as Moses or Methuselah
allowed. I actually came up with 8 before searching for others.
