Hmm I used the insert to blog link and it didn’t work..

Yeah, that’s HTML or something, and doesn’t work here… I’d just right-click and “Copy Image Location” and then post that inside these –> .

I think Necron just likes to post random scary people just to try and stop me from oogling this thread 😕

Aw… Luna never gets any love! She’s is rather random for this thread… but not completely unknown! 😆
She always was a bit scary though, even for a little woman in the ring (well, she’s my height, but considering the size of most of the men….)

Ohhhh, he’s nice….

I also have a guilt column, checking off pieces I bought after joining the forum 😆

😆 A guilt column? That’s great! I think I have about 30 pieces that were completely pre-Forum for me. But some of the others don’t really count… I would’ve bought ’em anyway once I saw them in the store. But I’m guessing I can blame my activity here for around 40 LP/LE pieces, 2 Retired, and 8 of my 19 PYOs (all pieces that either weren’t on ebay or that I never would’ve pursued w/o seeing so many pics from others). 😆

Good thing there’s the online database then. It’s now only behind by the month of March. I’ll be very happy when I get it caught back up.

Very true! I’m glad that database exists, so I don’t have to think about it! Though I don’t plan on selling, I still think it’s a great resource. Thanks for all your effort to getting it caught up!

I just finished watching 3 boxsets of CSI: NY, so those men come to mind first. Actually, I think they do a damn good job of getting hot guys and girls for all the CSI shows.

Carmine Giovinazzo, Gary Sinise, and Eddie Cahill all make me very happy though.

Beyond CSI…
Ewan McGregor
Gerard Butler
David Tennant (newest incarnation of Dr Who)

And then there’s the animated ones, but I won’t go into that here. 🙄 🙂

I guessed that I had 103 pieces… after consulting my spreadsheet, I apparently have 110. I wasn’t too far off, considering. But that also includes my mass of PYOs (19, including my single, unfinished, personal one).

For those that have a spreadsheet, how detailed are you? I have a lot of columns… Type, Color, Item #, If tag is attached, Original Box?, Condition , Condition Details (if not mint), Status (Current, Retired, LP, etc), Year Issued, Year Retired, Price Paid, Proof of that? (I try to keep receipts), Retail Value (if price paid unknown), Date Purchased, If I have a picture (I get behind sometimes). Plus I have all the costs added up (actual price I paid plus the retail value on the pieces I don’t have a receipt for), with and without PYO costs included. I also know the total cost per category, since I have seperate tabs for Dragons, Griffins, Unis/Kirins, Gargoyles/Misc (in my case, a Frog), Poads, and PYOs. Is anyone else that anal?

I think the only main thing I don’t keep track of is average selling cost on ebay. I’m comfortable with spreadsheets, but tracking ebay makes my head hurt.

I know exactly how you feel. 😳 I’ve spent more on Windstones than my new Harley costs!

I just couldn’t do that in the States… I’m a Left Lane Driver. Lead foot, usually cussin’ at the old fogies in front of me… I seemed to live in the only state in the Midwest that never posts “Slow traffic Stay Right” signs on the highways. 🙄

I bet that’s why I get super gas mileage here though. The highest speed limit around here is 60 kph… damn that’s slow – I’m used to driving twice that in the States! Feels like we’re cruisin’ when we can finally get up that high though (slowpoke locals can’t seem to get past 40 kph half the time), which is just pathetic. And now getting on the Expressway freaks me out – posted speed limit is 80kph, some drivers go 120 – I should feel comfortable. Though these tiny cars crumple at low speeds; I’d hate to see what happens on the Expressway.

Thank you, that made my night! 😆 Too bad my husband’s asleep… I’d make him go there. 😈

I’m sorry you’re having a rough time, foxfeather. I hope you find something!

I don’t think shopping for any size is pleasant. I’ve had very few friends, of varying sizes, that could just pick something off the rack and have it work. And most of those really shouldn’t have… (I don’t care what size you think you are, if you’re popping out of places you shouldn’t be, that’s not your size). Even Plus-Size stores frustrate me. I want to scream at them that the need for a plus-sized shirt doesn’t mean I have gi-normous breasts (my ribcage is huge). And why can’t I be the same size everywhere? At Torrid I’ve had to buy a 3x t-shirt, yet a size 14 pant… when normally elsewhere I was an XL shirt & 18 pant (a 3x shirt made me feel much worse than a 14 pant made me feel good). NO sense there. And now I’m in a country that, if I want my size, even after losing a lot of weight before getting here, I can only shop AAFES or online (IF they’ll ship to APO). What a crap choice that is.

I want to live in a world where hospital scrubs and military BDUs (NOT ABUs & definitely not those ugly digital ACUs) are accepted everywhere. They’re super comfy, they make me look good, and I don’t have any problem finding the size that fits. I knew I should’ve gone to Pharmacy School when I first thought about it a few years back….

The uglitoad looks interesting… I can’t wait to see a finished one. And yay for another dragonsnail! Do you know what color you’ll do?

[Maebnus]

Hehe funny.

Yeah it does the same to me, I’m guessing its an april fools joke.

……. I totally forgot it was April Fool’s Day. Dang it. But that also means that even though it’s over for me in less than an hour, it won’t be fixed for another 12+ hours due to the time difference. Arg! Friggin’ jokes. 😛 🙄

WTH?! Every time I click on a “featured” video, it brings me to the same music video: Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up. Now, I normally have no issues being transported back to my childhood Skateland days, but c’mon….
