Finding something at a great price at a store, and then having it be half-off when it rings up!!!

This has happened to me twice in the last two days. I love it!!!

Posted by Starla* (Member # 5835) on :

Finding $5 in the dryer. Or in some odd place around the house.

Also,

Being off on Sunday.

This is the first time this has happened to me since before Thanksgiving.

Having a great time at a one-act play competition... and going on to the provincial level! [Smile]

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

congrats. What was your play about?

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

The funny thing was is that it wasn't about anything. It was a poem-play... a series of poems that we interpreted to represent love/relationships...

This is the "play"...

...when someone teaches how you do that thing where you turn words into a link, so you can feel cool. (?)

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

Liz...in the thing below, just turn the parentheses { or } into square brackets [] and it'll work. And do the <inserts> as shown. Don't leave out any of the brackets or it won't work.

(url=<this is where the actual webaddress goes>)<insert your linky type word here>(/url)

...when you ask for someone to teach you how to make words into a link, and they do it, in, like ten seconds. (Thanks!)

Posted by Gottmorder (Member # 5039) on :

When you pass your Martial Arts exam and getting ever closer to knowing the wonderful art of Russian Martial arts (I honestly thought I wasn't going to pass. I passed only barely, but a pass is a pass).

My current certification.

Hey T! This thread was retroactively here first!

Nyah! [Razz]

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

Sometimes, its good not to know the meaning of words like "retroactively".

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

Having a bad day, then popping into Hatrack and finding such positive, life affirming, fluff.

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

That *is* cool!
I used to tuck money inside books to save for stuff, and then forget about it...then I'd find it when I went to read!
(hmmm...maybe that was why I read so much... [Wink]

)

Cool is...Jamie!

Posted by MaydayDesiax (Member # 5012) on :

Cool is losing your promise ring only to have your fiancee give you his.

Cool is anime.

Cheap anime, at that.

cool is waking up with a devilish gleam in one's eye and a singular determination to reduce at least one person to giggle fits.

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

YAY GUNDAM WING! Gundam Wing is most certainly cool. I only have DVDs 1-4. Sadness. I need the rest, but I is teh poor.

Posted by MaydayDesiax (Member # 5012) on :

That's why I lurked on Half.com and snagged the whole series (plus EW for free). It's got the DVDs cheap too, though.

Very cool. Half.com.
