Is this you, Doc????? I don't think so.

Funny Susan and Joe. That first sentence of the definition eliminates me in every way possible. Not single, not young, far far from high disposable income and I live and work far far from anything resembling a big city. :yum:

Glad we got that cleared up. :yum:

lol.

For my 2 Wicked!DW & DD- They are on the way to San Francisco This am. to go see.

dansdiamond · Dec 27, 2009

I got 3 New pair of Levi's, enough Socks for a year. And enough Chocolate for the Weekend.
SmokeKing got my Guitar!

Doc · Dec 27, 2009

.....and you got a cool set of drums to play with while they are gone. I'm sure DD would not mind.

Go wild!!!!!

My son got a nice drum set years ago. Still sits in our rec room. Everybody eventually sits down at em and lets go. Always fun for the player ....not always fun for those in teh vicinity. lol :yum:

Phiddlechik · Dec 27, 2009

When a teenager is playing the drums, you know exactly where they are and what they are doing! We bought a nice set for our son many years ago, and they are so much nicer to listen to than a cheap set. Good choice! And none of us would dream of touching them, just like he wouldn't open my violin case and take out my instrument! (in our house, it's kind of like holding someone's baby without asking permission!)

a few more gifts from my jake yesterday & this morning/afternoon. a couple of cases, a few bottles of wine/tequila, so we're drinking margaritas. he's also making venison jerky & din-din. & we got a stack of books last nite.

My Dad gave me a book on haunted inns in New England, which I'm enjoying very much. The author talks about 39 of them, though I'm sure there are hundreds more!

I'd love to stay in each one!

Ooooh, me too! Wouldn't that be fun? Plus, I loved the little inns in New England. I used to live in Franklin, MA.

Phiddlechik · Dec 27, 2009

I spent a night at a haunted B&B, at the request of a friend. Well, I went to bed early, woke up to a great disturbance, everyone was freaked out, the ghost hunter had a seizure due to the flashing strobes of their equipment and everyone got the heck out. Except for me. I went back to sleep (reciting the Lord's prayer, then telling the spirit that she was welcome to hang out, but I had to go to work early in the morning and to leave me alone). Turns out everyone actually left the premises in the middle of the night and I was the only guest that actually spent the whole night there! The innkeeper and I had a lovely baked raspberry french toast for breakfast.

That is Hilarious! WTG!!!

QSis · Dec 27, 2009

LOL, Phiddle!

Where was this?

Lee

Phiddlechik · Dec 27, 2009

Here. It was once a missionary house for LDS folks. The lady that owned it died there, in the middle of the night. I slept in her room. The funniest thing was that I opened my eyes to the chaos, had the door open, looking down the hallway. Everything happened within the doorframe view, the chaos, the seizure, the calling of the paramedics, the arrival of the same, and everyone leaving. I kept thinking, should I get up and join the fracas, or just lie here? I just laid there. didn't even have to lift my head off the pillow. Then I heard a bunch of interior doors slamming, the lights went out, then the car doors slamming, engines revving. I thought, "how nice of them all to accompany the ghost hunter to the hospital."
ha!
They all went home. My friend didn't even come back for her shoes. And the other guests went home... to Colorado!

I've stayed in a haunted hotel in Jefferson, Texas, kinda freaky but really fun. Plus they had this to-die-for Italian restaurant too!

Mr. Green Jeans · Dec 27, 2009

Got some great foodie stuff!
After last weekend when the Maytag washer took a dirt nap after 23 years of hard labor, we went out and got each other an LG HE washer and dryer. The washer is turely amazing as to how well it cleans clothes.
The other + is we put the old Maytag dryer on Freecycle and it was claimed by the wife of an Army enlisted soldier at Ft. Hood who was faced with buying a new dryer and forgoing presents for her three kids for Christmas.

Phiddlechik · Dec 27, 2009

That is really cool, Mr. GJ!

Sass Muffin · Dec 27, 2009

The jewelry looks Celtic by design. I love that style! Very nice!

Sass Muffin · Dec 28, 2009

I love it Keltin. Love everything I received.
Thing is, I won't be able to meet up with the kids and grands until New Years now.
We're going to have a mini post-Christmas wing ding and Happy 2010 all rolled into one lol

That hotel looks fantastic, Cooksie!

Did you stay in any of the rooms that were noted on the website? Did anything unusual happen to you there?

You're the man, MGJ! Bravo for giving it to someone who really needed it. Freecycle is such a cool program, isn't it?

Congrats on your new machine, too.

Mr. Green Jeans · Dec 28, 2009

Yes FM, freecycle is a great program and quite active out here in Pierce County WA.

It is a pretty cool place if you like antiques and history, and the town is packed with antique stores. Nothing unusual happened, and I didn't see any ghosts. Maybe they were just taking a night off while I was there :wink:

Actually a metrosexual has nothing to do with sexual orientation, Joe. It is why wiki is such a poor choice to get some infor from. A metrosexual is a man who takes interest in his experience. He may have facials, nails buffed, be dressed well and cares about his appreance. He takes pride in is appearance. It has noting to do with sexual orientation--it is a term that was coined for an urban male who takes pride in his appearance.

And here I thought it was someone attracted to trains and buses. :mrgreen:

We have freecycle & cheapcycle over her - it has been really good for getting rid of stuff left in the house or that we don't want anymore. It is so good knowing it will continue to be used.
We are also picking up leftover building materials for our project.

Thanks for the heads up about Free cycle. I just signed up. I have a garage full of good stuff we would like to give away (Got to make room for Drum set),
What a great program, and they have it here in the SF Bay Area!
Thanks Mr. Green Jeans
