Funny that you should say that. Did you hear about the frog that went to the bank?He hops up the counter at Ms Patty’s window and says “I’d like get a loan.”“Do you have collateral?” asks Patty.The frog displays a small plastic elephant.Patty says “Well, I’ll have to ask the manager, Mr ah?” “Jagger’s the name.” replies the frog.Patty explain the situation to the manager and after consulting his computer, he says.“It’ a nick nack Patty Whack, give the frog a loan, his old man’s a Rolling Stone.”
Burl, old boy, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you just brought a knife to a gun fight. I hope the VISA card you found has a high credit limit.My personal defense (against myself) when I go to the Boat Show is to carry only my Driver’s License and a $20 bill, plus my Medicare and secondary insurance card.
How many of you go to the store for a “few” items and actually leave with just them and not more? I don’t..Eggs and milk plus a cart full. Like her list she made everyone needs stuff.
I think it is great to find really interesting items in resale shops. The best thing I found in one is one of my chandeliers (actually my bird groomer called me to tell me about it because he had seen it). The store, called Cucumberz, was in a neighborhood where I never shop.
The difference is the Pennys will buy only the really awful junk, while my chandelier is beautiful vintage solid brass, crystal and black onyx – reason my groomer knew I’d love it is that 4 of the 8 arms have 12"H crystal parrots with brass head and chest. Back when I bought it I did searches for the manufacturer but there was no record. I still am sure it’s worth much more than the $300 I paid. Ceiling in my dining room is the lowest in my house (only 8’) so I have lighting in 4 corners so even my tall sons don’t hit their heads here. I’m just 5’ so I didn’t even have a problem before I removed ceiling fan from the center.
