Post a picture of your latest purchase Part II -Debt is good.

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

We're sending our PC to it's new home at the landfill this weekend. New IMac to follow.

 

[kramwest1]

Just waiting for them to call to schedule the delivery.

Then on to installing it in between U2 shows this summer.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

just bought myself a new phone cover, it's soooo pretty! it looked a bit different in person than it did online but it's just as well because it's even greener.

 

[Sicy]

I love changing up my iphone cover. I get them on ebay for like $2

 

[Liesje]

Last night's trip to Lowe's: 3 gallons of paint (3 colors), 2 quarts (2 colors), new brush, 6 rollers, 4 trays, 2 rolls of tape, 1 can of spray paint (for a ceiling fan that is functional but hideous), 6 sheets of glass mosaic tile, grout, adhesive, grout sealer, grout sponge, grout spreader thingy, adhesive spreader thingy, 6 sets of new cabinet hardware, 400 sandpaper. This weekend we will be painting 3 bedrooms, ceiling fan, and updating an old buffet with paint, hardware, and tile on the top.

Ugh. I'll take my fence project.

 

[Liesje]

Did a fence project last weekend! (and when we moved in)

I've built and installed a lot of fencing and gates. I am only going with composite materials. Here is CA we get a lot of termites and dry rot.

I do use some pressure treated wood for posts, but prefer metal poles in cement. I have to modify how I suspend the fencing on the poles, though.

Moisture is our big issue. Even cedar and redwood only last about ten years before they start to rot here.

I'm going with galvanized poles in 4-ft of concrete (below frost line) and then dropping the composite sheaths over the poles with green-treated shims inside (maybe composite shims, depending on how strong they seem and how many scraps I might have).

It's going to be a lot of work, but the thing will last for 30+ years.

 

[deep]

I know you have snow. I've been in my beach du-plex for 23 years now and have replaced wood stairs, gates and fences more than once. Once I switched over to composites I have not had to replace any. Your plan sounds perfect.

 

[kramwest1]

Thanks.

It's the snow and our soil. My neighborhood was some of the original Minneapolis farm fields, so our soil is fantastic for holding moisture.

 

[beegee]

Today I "purchased" (paid a hefty fee for) an application to The Art Institute of Las Vegas for my daughter.

I can't believe she was only nine years old when I joined Interference.

Where does the time go.

 

[Thora]

I always said I'd never get an e-reader, but I gave in and got it (and a case) with some birthday money recently. It will be great for when I travel, as I always like to bring tons of books with me. Hooray for more room in my suitcase for clothes and shoes!

 

[bono_212]

What an awesome day of shopping at the local discount warehouse.

 

[No spoken words]

I though Travis was joking.......

 

[waynetravis]

Is the Bubbles dispenser for him?

 

[bono_212]

Travis would never joke about something so serious.

Is the Bubbles dispenser for him?

I was going to buy it, but thought it was a stupid idea, and then he was all like, "We have to get this."

It's now gracing the bathroom sink, but I can't quite get the pump to work .

 

[LemonMelon]

What Ashley neglected to mention is that there was a sticker on the bottom of the dispenser that priced it at $14.99 (likely from the late 90s), now down to $.99. Also, there were multiple Bubbles soap dispensers. I was cracking up too hard not to buy it.

I'm afraid to remove Prince Interactive from the packaging: it may be worth 2.99 someday, plus it probably doesn't work with Windows 7 anyway.

 

[No spoken words]

It probably sues Windows 7.

 

[bono_212]

Finally got the Bubbles soap dispenser working .

 

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

Long overdue.

 

[IWasBored]

once i motivate myself to get off my lazy ass and go to the bank and then the apple store, i am getting an ipad. but lack of motivation to leave the house is strong with this one. it's warm out there.

 

[Liesje]

Long overdue.

I could have given you mine I hate the darn thing. Right now its main purpose is rotating desktop images like one of those expensive picture frames.

I was actually about to buy one about a week and a half ago, then our aging PC decided that life was not worth living anymore and plans changed.

You could always buy off the Apple website

 

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

I could have given you mine

Given? LOL. What's the catch?

 

[Liesje]

The catch is that its work-issued. If it weren't, I wouldn't have it period. It does make a nice digital picture frame though.

So . . . how would you explain that to work?

Lies: "I gave it to a random, unsuspecting guy."
Lies' Boss: "Well done."

nah, i hate buying stuff online.

 

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

Understandable, especially for a pretty expensive purchase.

Seriously, he should be more pissed that the expensive thing runs like a piece of crap than me giving it to someone that might actually use it

I think it's getting replaced this summer at least. We'll see what shows up next on my desk...
