^Pics or it didn't happen! I have never heard of a pink mouse.

I bought a new black bag because my other one was falling apart.

You have GOT to get out more!

 :hahaha:


Personally, I want the Mondo Grape (purple) one. A Blachcherry looks kind of nice, too.


... but, see, I'm a guy. I can't place importance on the color of things or I become ghey.

 :laugh:

Why? Don't place too much emphasis on what society thinks, go with your own instincts.

No worries, mate. I got this one.

Wait? I have sarcasm detecting glasses? Where?

Interesting about the old keys.

Didn't mention it here, because all my earlier references to my locomotive enthusiasm were ignored, but a few weeks ago, I bought four old, bigger than HUGE, solid brass locomotive engineer keys from the time just after the turn of the last century (WWI era).

Nickel Plate #42, Monon #25, Wells Fargo Express B and Baltimore and Ohio #12, are inscribed on the keys. They are mostly worthless, but I like to hold them and look at how they are worn down from use.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Locomotive stuff is interesting I have some myself in the stuff I don't sell.  Let me assure you at the flea market the stuff flies off the table and or more than you would think

Computer with Mouse (but my mouse is lighter pink, I think, since it matches the computer)



My husband actually bought the mouse for me.

He snitched my old mini-mouse when his broke because mine was identical to his, so I started using a big mouse I had from a long time ago.  He said that he would replace my mini-mouse when he took it and I was kidding around that I wanted a mouse to match the computer and he thought that would be funny, so he found it for me online at the Sony website and had it shipped.

We both think it's a hoot that the computer is pink.  It reminds us of the movie "Legally Blonde."

Yes, I remember that. I liked that movie.

I bought my medication. I added up how much it would cost if I wasn't able to receive pension discount and it was $260.   :o

A $15 digital camera. 

0.3 megapixels!   :laugh:

And a replacement charger for my Canon.

and I leave with nothing but love,

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

4 Sata cables and a micro-SD card.

Lego racers, Rush, and Rush 2 for N64. I thought I got four games but I just checked and I didn't. I had one of them on my watch list and decided today I wasn't going to bid on it. I've spent enough money on games and Nintendo power magazine and two player guides and of course sega Pico Games I won.

14 issues of old Nintendo Power issues on Craigslist,  Link's Crossbow Training and a CD at Best Buy. Did that all this morning.
