He's Bird. Shirley Bird.

Haha, sounds like early bird.

I'm SO happy I was able to download the Weezer concert at MSG that I saw last month!!

Anyone lurking around? Seem pretty deserted on the ol' BB tonight.


I trust you all are having a wonderful weekend? I actually began my Christmas shopping today.



TIS

I'm lurking for a few more minutes before I go pick up my wife. I'll be reading my new book "Hit and Run" by Lawrence Block as I wait. I ended up paying $9.25 on Ebay, not the greatest price but a whole lot better than $25 Barnes and Nobles wants.

Yea, compared to $25 that isn't a bad price. I have never purchased from Ebay. The bidding process intimidates me for some reason. It seems so complicated or something. Maybe it's just me.

Anyway, enjoy your book fellow lurker!!!
We lurkers rule!!!


TIS

I'm here. Gas is $2.87. One of my mutual funds lost about 30% since the end of May. SNL is a repeat. Overall, things are going pretty good.

$2.87? Wow, what a bargain. (who would have thought). It's about 3.15/20 in my area. Yea, I got my TSA statement and lost some money too. I am not a big invester which as it stands now, is a good thing evidently.

Anyway, weather here is beautiful, cooling down into te high 60's/low 70's but sunny, clear and beautiful.

Did all the BBer's get invited to a party they didn't tell s about? How dare them not be here when we are.

I'm very tired though, don't know how long I'll be able to stay awake tonight.

TIS

My wife's gone to bed. She has a cold. I'm in the den watching SNL.

How often is Cal. sunny?

Southern CA is sunny almost always Olivant. I really can't complain about the weather. It's kind of a treat IMHO when we get rainy weather. We DO have a rainy season but even then, it's usually (not always but usually) not that bad. The best thing about CA is the climate, which you just can't beat(and of course, it is a pretty scenic state too).


TIS

Hey TIS, Do the leaves change color out there? They are looking very beautiful here.

Mig,

The leaves change somewhat but NOTHING like it does back East or Midwest...nowhere near as pretty. We get season change (believe it or not) but on a much much smaller scale than you do. It took me a couple years of living in CA before I noticed the distinct changes in the seasons.

Another plus, you can plan a picnic and/or family outdoor outing and chances are you'll get decent weather.

TIS

It was absolutely beautiful here today. I know we won't have to many more days like this left.

Ebay is fairly easy, you just have to set up a paypal account and register and start bidding, or selling. I've made about $250 in the last week or so.

EBAY is good cause it's tax fee cash in ya pocket.

I just wish you could sell drugs there, it'd make everything so much easier....

What is stopping you? just give it a clever label like "RARE!!!1!1! STAR WARS HAN SOLO ACTION FIGURE SMOKING A QUARTER OF ACTION FIGURE MARY JANE!!1! Action figures may or may not be included"

lol @ ^^^

That could actually work. You could make a bit of cash before everyone caught on to the code.

Hmmm...

It might work better if you coupled Mary Jane with Spider-Man instead.

That wouldn't work at all, some 40 year old virgin would complain because they wanted the "action figure" and got some weird smelling oregano instead.

On top of having to have to go back for a 4th time to get this one freakin' root canal over and done with (let alone the cap for it)... tonight ANOTHER cap just fell out for no @%#$%! reason!! WTF!!??!!

You woulda saved yourself a lot of time and effort if you had just listened to me and used pliers.

Okay, so I had a few glasses of wine and then clicked on a banner ad that said it'd tell me my IQ instantly. I probably should subtract 50 pts for just clicking on it to begin with, but, I figured WTF. lol

So I take it -- man, I really hate those number sequence questions, and it seemed that was every-other damn question! But in the end, this test said 126 (Top 3%). Not too shabby, I thought -- especially being a bit buzzed. So then I looked up "IQ 126" and this site says I'm comparable to a PhD -- of course ...but then it said comparable to an attorney. Man, what a depressing slap in the face! J/K KL/DT!

I'd've provided the link, but, it's one of those bullshit sites that asks for all your personal info like cell phone and mother's maiden name along with name/address and other crap (mostly I provided fake info, of course)... so... grain of salt! (tho the questions seemed kinda legit)

Spent $700 to get my car going maybe a month ago, the electronic keys went bad.


Won't start (Different problem this time).

Fucking Mercedes.

Buy a real car and save some money and headaches. Hondas are nice, and last forever.

Toyotas are better.

You would turn down a free Mercedes?

Yes. I'm not a "car nut" nor looking for a cock extension or some wasted money pseudo-status symbol in my driveway. Gimme something reliable and dependable, yet still looks decent. Hondas (and okay, some Toyotas) are just fine.

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

And this car was our only car for a year or so.

I know nothing about cars, but this car was fun to drive and comfy. I hate driving or riding in my Wife's huge SUV.

It had been nice and reliable until now. We used to have a Toyota that was awesome until my wife wrecked it and had to be cut out with the JAWS OF LIFE!

My car decision right now is between a Toyota Camry and a Honda Accord. They are almost identical in price and performance. They also both look very nice and are similarly equipped. I am having the hardest time making this decision. Mr. Babe says that the Honda has better pickup, so then I start to lean that way. But the Camry comes with fog lights and bluetooth and the home link garage door thingy. So undecided.

I'm buying a Bus soon with a few friends and we're gonna drive around the country on tour etc.
