Thursday June 4th (aka I'm Gonna Sell Some Shit On eBay)

[Greenguy]

Morning!

I know no one here likes my talk, but fuck me! This was a nice goal...that I was actually awake for!


So yeah, I fell asleep after the 1st period & missed Chicago's 2 goals in the 3rd to win 2-1

Today, after I run my Xenu link checker, I'm gonna get back to getting some shit ready to sell on eBay

Need sleeeeeeeep....

My Air BnB guest arrived late yesterday. Very nice thirty something, very pretty, girl from the Czech Republic. Told her I was going out the gay pub up the street and asked if she would like join me. She said she had never been to a gay pub and would love to come along. She was having a wonderful time but then around midnight I wanted to go home and couldn't find her. After looking for about an hour I gave up and went home. One of my friends showed up at my door a bit after 3 am with her. Turned out my, very drunk friend, Sylvia thought it was a good idea to take her to the mobile free HIV testing van and she spent an hour there getting tested. I guess she was hoping to get lucky with her, she is straight though. My friend spent the night and my house guest said she had an amazing time.

Just another day of work planned. I do need to go to the other side of town though to check on a friend that no one has been able to get a hold of for over a week, We all think she may be dead so not looking forward to going over at all.

Where are the pics Cleo? Pics I say!

Anyway, had an idea for a cool Facebook type app. Trying to finish some things today so I can start on it.

Also need to shop for better home insurance.

Good Morning

Just the usual work stuff going on here.

Cleo, nice to hear your first bnb guest has been mostly hassle free and hoping you find your friend.

Got a bunch of submits to do so better get to it.

What are you talking about GG? Everyone LOVES hockey talkie. EVERYONE.

That worst picks prize in your pool is MINE. All mine. It's actually, believe it or not, my first try out of the gate for playing in a fantasy-type hockey pool. I can see from the get-go that I'm the suckiest player picker that ever sucked.


You keep saying "sell some shit" "sellin' some shit"..... WHAT SHIT!?? The only kind of shopping I enjoy doing these days is online, where I can do all my shit-shopping sitting down. No standing in long checkout lines, much easier on my back.

Ebay's fine but if that shit of yours is better suited to selling it locally you may want to try Kijiji. I've bought and sold a lot of shit on there.

Some of it is in this thread. Then, I have a pile of old US, Canadian & UK coins - some dating back to the 1890's (of course, those are US pennies & probably only worth about 50-75 cents now)

Did some digging and got a new home insurance + flood policy with the same rates but ~$700/yr cheaper. That was worth a phone call. I should be comparing rates every year or two.

Have you had that collection appraised? Man, don't go selling it until you do, you may have something worth more than you think there.

I'm inspired though. There's a guy that runs a new & used buy & sell not five minutes from me, and I too just happen to have a small coin/currency collection. He's an accredited appraiser, I think I'll head over there one of these days and see if mine is worth something.

My dad was in the merchant navy during WWII, he saved a few coins here or there from all over the world, some of which were old even back then.

Kinda. I emailed 10 or so coin dealers in the area my list & some pics & about 1/2 got back to me. Highest offer was $40

I just read on FB that Cleo's friend did pass away

She looked like she was dead for about a week. For unknown reasons I took a couple of pics. That the smell of death is just something you never forget.

I now have another cat and an African Grey parrot. :-/

Had to spend almost the whole day there dealing with everything.

Cleo, my condolences to you
