Got my 17 year old a leather wallet, and two pairs of lounge around the house shit pants.
9 year old . Nothing . He won't even come close to opening up a present because he doesn't give a shit. (Autistic).
When I get my bonus from work here in January I'm going to buy a bunch of stuff for both kids and the wife. Money just isn't here at the moment.
Same here. At least from our house. I bought my wife a new bowling ball and my son a few things. Things have been rough around the family the past two weeks with my 89 year old grandma being in the hospital and not doing well. My mom was getting a cold the past few days so that sucked. I spent 5 hours cooking in the kitchen today to see it was all gone in about 5 minutes.
Oh well. At least I have my wife, two kids and a decent job.
Oh yeah, my brother that I haven't seen in 3 years came into town. That was cool.
1 HD DVR, 1 DVR, 1 Digital box, Premium phone, 15 down/2 up intrawebs, No HD pack (the shitty 4 channels I never watch which was $10 a month), no premiums except stars/encore since it's free. $140 a month.
Somehow I missed the other thread too. Glad you're ok Ben. You coulda bought my Regal and it would have lasted a while to get you through the winter or what not.
Still sucks though.
Always wanted an F-body. Never had the money to get one even as a summer/weekend car. Just wanted to stick it in the garage for a while and drive it when I could. That never happened.
Other than that, the one I owned was the 86 Corolla GTS that I got into WAY too much trouble with (squealed the tires at a stop light in Westerville, then going 42 in a 25 10 seconds later only to find out the cop was right behind me the entire time at the light )
They're called Cross-stitching. Yeah I looked on ebay and the really cheap small ones are going for $5 plus $3 shipping. Not sure on the larger, more detailed ones.
I know there are mostly dudes on here but the wife and I were thinking something for the home. These are all completed by my wife. Some of them are pretty detailed and she can do just about anything if you can either find the kit or a pattern. I'm not selling them on here yet so don't bitch about a vendor fee. I'm just trying to get an idea of how much you think these things are worth. The kits are around $20-$25 and some of them take a good amount of time to complete. Probably 2-3 weeks. These were in a bucket that she's done over the years and can be pressed out and put in a nice frame to hang in the house.
I've looked on ebay and the cheap small ones go for $4.95 + $3 shipping.
I was thinking for some of the more larger and detailed they could go for $30 + 20 for the frame.?
Here's a few of the ones she has done. Total she probably has about 75 or so.

For the rest of the samples I just took pics of :

It's not really a problem. Just kind of a bummer. There's only one day I record two shows at once. If that happens I just turn on the 360 or do something else.
I have an HD DVR. When I record two shows at the same time, I can't watch anything else other than those two channels. When I'm only recording one I can do whatever. Is this the norm for everyone else? Just kinda sucks because the reason I record stuff is to fast forward through the commercials. No matter what I do it wants me to watch one of the two I'm recording.
Car is gone. $3700 in 100 dollar bills. Swapped tires too. I don't care as I was going to get new tires in the spring anyways and since I work from home I rarely drive anywhere.
Thanks dudes.
Here's the deal. I took out a loan for $3300 to get the 03. Anything over $3300 is a profit for me. The more I get out of it now the more the family will have a decent Christmas. Yeah, I could sell it for $3600, but why? I mean, the car is in perfect shape, I took very good care of it. Why let it go that cheap when I should be able to get more out of it.
I was thinking that too about how long I will need to hold onto it. Selling it will free up probably $200 a month (loan on 03 and insurance). I just don't want to hold onto the car forever and never sell it.
I got the car for $4900 almost 3 years ago, replaced the motor with a lower mileage motor and hardly drove it (20k miles in almost 3 years).
So I got a guy that came to look at the car last night. The 99 GS I'm trying to sell for over a month now. He was nit picking on a lot of little stupid shit. Then he turns around and offers me like 3k for it (it's listed at $4200 on CL). He tried to persuade me with a huge pocked full of 100 dollar bills. (big deal). I told him I'd do $3700 and I'd swap the tires on my 03 with the 99 (the tires on the 03 are better than the 99). He called said he was going to eat dinner with his wife and for ME to call him if I wanted to do $3400. I never called. He called this morning about an hour ago asking for $3600 and the tire swap.
The car blue books at 4900 in excellent shape (which it is). Do I suck it up and sell it for $3600 and say to hell with it or do I stick to my original thoughts of $3700 or do I just tell him to go away thinking someone later down the road will pay more for it.
I know it's only a few hundred bucks but in my position currently, every bit helps.
Oh on top of that he was asking if I can cut him a deal on the taxes of the car. I'm not sure if he thinks I'm going to tell the BMV $2k or not, but I don't want this to come back to haunt me later on in life.
Since you're most likely dating a guy, how about that Pizza place downtown on Gay street? Some lesbian place. I can't remember the name of it? Sliders?
