Did you know that every color of rose means something? Pink is for friend and yellow is true love and I forget the rest.
Anyone else have the baseball card where Ripken is misspelled? I wonder if it’s worth much.
i have a painting that i have always wondered how much it’s worth.
Unbelievably, you are the second person to propose to me tonight! 
Seriously, I was FOR Pete going in til someone on another board convinced me otherwise. I equated Shoeless Joe and Pete, and thought they both should go in (I’m still pretty torn about Joe…) He posted a link to the transcripts of the Pete Rose investigation, and it was pretty obvious after that…
knock knock, I’ve never heard of a misspelled Ripken card, but I’d hold on to that one! 
I have a signed and numbered water color. I have no idea if it’s worth anything.
:sigh: that’s a no then. 
oh well. :sadbanana: but, maybe one day i’ll convince you of my complete worthiness.
:think think think:
Abby, you mean a paint-by numbers? I don’t think they’re worth anything! 
My cousin is an antiques dealer/junk dealer/swindler. A couple years back he obtained this strange old oil painting. It had a Devil-like figure fighting this good-guy/warrior guy with a naked woman in the background with her arms raised clutching this big key in one hand. Not realistic but kind of avante-gard/modern, but much older. No signature. He went so far as to take it to England to “Antiques Roadshow” to see what it was. They were stumped too.
Heh. It’s a bit better than paint by number.
It’s signed Bertrand and numbered 2054 (Wow, that’s a lot of the same painting.) Even if its worth nothing but the frame, I come out ahead, because it was free. (Not really but it didn’t cost me anything more than what I was spending on something else and I got that too.)
I really hate to repeat myself, but… nothing’s free.

Abby, just kidding!
Skeezix, ketchup, at McDonalds is free. You have to ask for it TWICE, but they’ll give you as much as you want!
I knew you were kidding, but thank you anyway.
You should cross your fingers and hope that the consecutive number thread gets up to 2054, because if it does you’ll have something cool to post. I’ve posted a couple times to that thread, but only mathematical stuff, like
and
For evidence that there are misspelled “Cal Ripkin, Jr.” cards, you can go to this site and search the page for “ripkin.” I don’t remember which card I have, and it’s not readily available.
I kid you not – a friend who came to stay with me brought me the perfect gift – a paint-by-numbers picture of a horse, frame and all! It was just as clumsily done as you’d expect, just as garish – and the colors went perfectly with my downstairs half-bath wallpaper! It proudly hangs over the hopper.
if6was9: No, the price you pay for the ketchup is eating McD’s food in the first place.
Speaking of eating, I’m getting hungry again. Time to go see if anything new has spontaneously materialized in the fridge since I last checked.
There’s watermelon in my frig. You can have that if you want.
There’s lots of things in my fridge… unfortunately, I’m suffering a stomach ailment brought on by eating too much fried food yesterday. (my brother says I should drink the milk, as it expires today… he doesn’t want to know what happens when I drink it!)
Boy Howdy! Fried foods carve me up now like they NEVER did before! Gravy too!
Skeezix, I guess you’re right! There’s NO free lunch…
I guess I’d better learn to watch what I eat, and maybe exercise more too.
F_X
TANSTAAFL: There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.
But there is post-pumping! And this one is number 450. Woo-hoooo!!!
You go… girl? Why does a chick have three men’s names for a handle? Just curious…
But still, You go girl!
