But now I collect( for the covers) the mystery novel with my name sake.
I try to add to them every now and then.

DR Sandra feels that she has nothing to contribute, as there is little of interest that goes on in a garage booth.

Laura · « **Reply #183 on:** March 30, 2009, 02:17:31 PM »

I, however, have absolutely nothing to contribute, but that doesn't stop me.

We're having meat loaf for dinner at our house tonight.

Plates! Our walls are covered with plates!
The first plate was given to my grandmother by her son, the air force colonel, when he returned from a tour of duty in Japan, circa 1945. Since then anyone who went anywhere brought my grandmother back a plate.
In the mid-seventies, when she was incapacitated by a broken hip and living with us, the plates moved across the street from her house to our house, where the remain.
People still give us plates from wherever they've been, and there are a little more than a thousand plates hanging on our walls.
I'm so glad we don't live in an earthquake zone.

Mikey, have you seen any non-regional blu-ray DVD player advertised?

I got my region-code-free standard DVD player at HKFlix.

I think it was BK that recommended this site in the first place.

BK himself once commented that my Percy Faith collection was excessive.

Talk about your euphemisms!

I forgot that I also collected stamps when I was a kid, starting in about 6th or 7th grade. Had a darn nice collection, too.

I collected stamps for a while when I was in middle school and high school...but (horror of horrors), not knowing any better, I used scotch tape on many of them. Not a good thing to do. $:-\$

After turning down two opportunities to be the executor for John McGlinn, I've ended up being a co-executor with John Vogel of Pennsylvania. Poor John! The news would kill him if he weren't already dead.

Probably because she's expecting.

I don't dislike the redheads on TAR - in fact they were very good last night. I guess I mean to say, of the teams left, they are my next least favorite.....Victor and his Sister are my least favorites. I hope for another Victor meltdown in the next week or so.

I agree JRand.

I collect a number of things and sort of go from one collection to another and back if that makes any sense. I have a huge cat figurine collection, my mother started giving them to me years and I've added to it. I have all shapes and sizes, many are unusual and fun

Cillaliz · « **Reply #198 on:** March 30, 2009, 05:10:15 PM »

I have a campaign button collection, all the states coins, I used to collect unusual musical instruments like bamboo flutes etc. Modern Priscilla magazines....and more

More TOD - angels. It all started about 10 years ago when I set up an Advent wreath here at home and included some Nativity scene figures. I made the casual remark that I needed "multitudes of angels" and it happened to be right at the peak of the angel craze. Everyone started giving me angels and now they cover the piano and the shadow box above it:

Once I had a sore throat, so I bought a teapot so I could make hot tea. The teapot was blue with a white duck on it. I bought it because it was blue. Then someone saw it and assumed I collected White Duck Things. So she gave me a White Duck poster. Someone else gave me White Duck canisters. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Soon I had a room full of White Duck Things. I never wanted White Duck Things; I only wanted to make hot tea.

The End.

blah blah blah here i go with some comments about last night's TAR ** ** ** **
one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen
fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty twenty-one twenty-two
re: tammy and victor. Just because they did not show them saying something
about the poverty in india does not mean that they did not say something. So
that means nothing to me. It's more if they had made a snarky comment. However
it appears that tammy and victor are the most affluent of the contestants. They
seem to have gone to fancy schools and are probably well-off. I don't dislike this
team. And i actually think they are by far the strongest. But i can see how they
(especially victor) could rub some people the wrong way. But i am sort of expecting
them to win and for sure be in F3. I mean obviously anything can happen. But
they are very strong. Especially compared to what is left! jkkjkj kjkjkjkjkjkjkj kjkj

Re Nudie reading - you'll need to be on the list, so anyone here who's coming should shoot me an e-mail with date (June 15 or 16) and number of guests.

June 16 is my mom's birthday.

Just had to share.

Good Evening!

So... On May 7, I'll be flying out of JFK to Detroit, and then from Detroit to Manila. -It's a 19-hour flight!?!?!?! But I think I may have enough frequent flyer points to hopefully get some sort of upgrade. However, I may just save those points, since upon my return from the Philippines on May 16, I will have enough points for a free domestic flight.
