Might just have to pop in there for free coffee and snacks he he :

Thats sounds pretty nice. I wonder if they have tiered service for different levels of membership like the airlines?

normal cards - coffee
gold cards - beer
platinum cards - johnny walker black?

Like another poster said, there is nothing that I need that much so I am heading off with my 4 year old nephew to watch 'flushed away'

I checked to see if there were any decent deals first on

www.slickdeals.net

I find half the stuff I buy in sales like today is stuff i really don't need and end up flogging it on craigslist a year later....

I wish to complain about the title of this thread. I find it demeaning and degrading and I for one think it should be changed to the "Not white day" thread.

Thank you

Bollocks to that. I'd rather spend the $50 more 2 days from now!
I was working at my bar last night, and half the girls were telling me they were only out drinking so they could go to the mall after we close. Doh! Beer + money= debt........and possibly a DUI!

As for me, I went to the mall this afternoon 'cos I needed new makeup. Nobody in line at the Estee Lauder counter, and I asked for a discount 'cos I spent a bunch of last nights tips. I ended up with a free makeup kit and brushes, as well as a chip and dip ceramic set. They weren't giving that stuff to the regular customers, either.

Thank you
And Friday, it should be renamed "Non-denominational and non-country specific goddess of love day"

We left at 9:00 am and got our $20 R/C Hummer for Paul (he will probably need me to give him a lot of training on it's operation), a $15 1gig memory stick, and a $50 portable DVD player to keep him and his mom entertained during the drive to KC next week. Oh, and the cat carrier and cleaning supplies we needed for Guadalupe the cleaning lady when she comes today (ok, exploiting the underprivledged or assisting the poor, or ilegally employing undocumented immigrants, however you wish to see it). I think she may be related to Ray's man, Sanchez.

its the Mio c310, right now google tells me its on sale for around $400 but MSRP is $695, secondhand on Amazon its selling for around $300.

$149 pleased the heck outta me.

btw - to the guy who said drive east and you'll find the lake ... from what I found I'd have to be on the right road first... what with all the one way shit around the centre.

Maybe I missed it in your post, but where did you get it? I'll pay you $200 for it.
