Book Board Chat

We're off today. Mrs Briguy and I have after 20 years of marriage, decided to finally blend our lives. We both have our annual medical checkups today, so we took the same day off work. Then its together we wander the remainder of the day free, free.... FREE!!

I suggested we go to the site of an old bar nearby that burned down 30 years ago. Why?....because drunks on the patio they used to have surely lost a few silver dimes. (she responded to this with similar a level of excitment I possess for my looming prostate exam) . She suggested we drive further west and spend our time wandering antique shops and looking for.......more Dawn dolls. (Arrrrrrggggggh!....shoot me).

I suspect that in the end we'll compromise and end up having lunch at the Cracker Barrel or something (in itself a dangerous act -- as she can't make it through their overpriced hype store without spending $40).

Oh.....YES, Mrs Briguy is looking at summer break in about 3 weeks. Already boxes of little dolls from Ebay lots are appearing daily. She's also been dissappearing on the weekends coming home with more sacks of them. So where does one find SACKS of little dolls they quit making 40 years ago?? Well.....she apparently knows!! She says her intent is to start EBaying them again this summer. I can't blame her, many of you saw the STEAMING PILE of cash she raked in last time, some of those dinky little dolls going well into the three figures.

I actually feel the need to praise her. I've adopted the "absolute hoarder" method when it comes to my stamps (I have over 150 canceled CSA #11 stamps....yep...all the same issue...and still looking for more) She however, possesses the requisite detachment to actually RESELL stuff. So if she shows up again here, like she did under my s/n on the old EBay chat......be nice to her. Right now she's looking for advice on what camera and format to use for pics and stuff (Dawn dolls don't fit in the scanner like stamps do).

Hope everyone is having a good day! :o)
