I havn't been too keen on Drew Carey taking over Bob Barkers spot...
last week I caught one of the shows and it was torture to watch. He just wasn't funny and I'm tired of him asking every person who is spinning the wheel if they want to say hello to anyone!!! ... If I'm that close to the wheel I wanna watch it BUT I would yell out COOLERCREW RAWXS!
anyhow.... this morning I got stuck at home and watched it again while folding laundry (yes, REALLY doing the REAL laundry)...
a woman came on stage and Drew says "Sarah is from Mississippi, I don't know how I knew that" ----- whooops, so he knows who's being called to the bidding spots BEFORE they are called.
One guy on the end was was kinda funny... the bidder would say "$799 Bob" or "$1800 Bob" so Drew started laughing and said "420 Bob"
heh
Drew can't explain a game correctly. I've watched him tell people what to do and then they do it and get it wrong - he explains it wrong. Today I was sooo confused as how to play a game - he told the woman to pick something that was $3000 - she did except it made her too high and she lost - the other item was $1000.
finding out today about this article. I gave them the information. This is the house my sister moved out of a few months back. 574 Summit - check out the 360 views! 1.3 million cha-chings
What you get: The 1904 George Taylor mansion along St. Paul's Summit Avenue. Taylor operated a wholesale glass and wooden ware business, and the house was later owned by St. Paul's mayor and his wife, a member of the Irvine family of Irvine Park fame.

History: The Ramsey County Historical Society says that the house, which has more than 7,600 square feet, is noted for Islamic/Renaissance Revival-style ornamentation over a basic cubic mass of pressed yellow brick.
The house had an unusual glazed ceramic-tile roof, which has been replaced with a cement tile that has a similar look. Unlike its neighbors, the house didn't have its own carriage house -- there was a livery stable nearby -- but it did have what is known as the first garage along Summit Avenue.
Inside: There's a handpainted mural in the dining room and living room. Take a virtual tour of those rooms by going to www.startribune.com/homes.

I didn't tell him his garage was the first garage on Summit though. It's not. The oldest garage on Summit is down near Maiden Lane. He thought it was the oldest because the city won't allow him to tear it down. The city won't allow it because he is in a historic district not because it was the first.
Some of her friends are flying down to San Diego to surprise her. They leave tomorrow.
She will be sooooo surprised! I'm so happy for her I could bust.
If you hear a scream carried on the breeze tomorrow - you will know where it came from. She loves to scream when excited and her voice carries very well.
funny seeing her go through the 'having to be home the night its on ever week' - the 'don't talk to me while its on' - 'don't call me when it's on' - the withdrawls after a season finally - like me with Melrose Place.
I so want to take a road trip after I find the Med this year!! I am going to hit half the spots I can go to and maybe make some money doing it!!! when I find some of the kool things that they find!!
see now I liked 90210 but for some reason I didn't get in to it as much as Melrose! we should get together and watch some old tv shows some night!!! lol I have a ton of old shows on dvd like 21 jump street!!! and Melrose, saved by the bell!! some of the crap I got is just to funny!!! I have almost all of the seasons of Friends and MASH!!!
see I am so boring no one wants to hang out with me because I like dumb shows!! and playing chess and stuff like that!! it is funny how someone like me I am a geek but I am not!! hello what would you cat. me as???
That reminds me of something I once wrote about myself, Iceman. See if you can relate:
I am pretty easygoing, and quite content with most any activity that involves the comfortable presence of a good friend. Cribbage, reading aloud, watching a movie, listening to music...its all good with the right person.
btw.. that bridge is where I go to clear my head and relax. I will warn you that trains do occasionally drop by to say Hello, and you have to run like hell, or jump over the railing and hold on.. but the hours of peace and beauty far replace that small hazard.
Yes I've been on the bridge when a train came, and I got the crap scared out of me, but the adrenaline and the relaxation were worth it.
Grandma and Grandpa S had a place down river from that bridge so I've been there many times. Still go there a lot with my oldest son. It's one of his favorite places too.
We had a hard time opening the roof door because of all the internal pressure. It felt like the dome when going through one of the regular doors only it was the same pressure but a small door.
Anyway, we finally get it opened and slowly step out to find out that there's a small sheet of ice around the perimeter that we slide on toward the edge after stepping outside. YIKES!
The air inside pushed us out across the ice towards the edge. Luckily the window washing rails were there to stop us. We walked around to the IDS side to see the glass the guy broke through yesterday but I didn't bring my camera. :frown:
He was both in awe and kinda scared as well being up there. I gotta bring my camera next time. I didn't think we were gonna go on top. I thought he was just stopping by on his way home. Oh well.
My lightbulb changer! I can stand on terra firma and change my high-up lightbulbs. Now I can watch it snow at night.
I just changed the two floodlights on the back deck. They are a good 10 feet up and no way do I want to be on a ladder out there, even in good weather.
Sounds like a good gadget. I have a light bulb changer too. His name is Doug and he's good at changing high light bulbs and climbing ladders to put up and take down my storm windows and screens. The rest of the family has elected him to paint the peaks in the third story dormers when we paint the house. :smile:
And speaking of light bulbs, Joe Soucheray was talking about how to make your light bulbs last longer. Don't screw them in all the way. Only screw them in until they make a connection and light up. He said that the reason they burn out fast is that the little piece of solder stuff on the bottom breaks down if they're too tight. I'm going to try that.
I used to have a live lightbulb changer, and it was one of the frustrations I had to figure out how to deal with. The outside lightbulbs were too high for me to reach, and the one in the basement stairway, too. I'd have to ask someone to come and change them, or wait until someone stopped over. Now I can do them myself!
I found out that putting the lightbulbs in too tight can also cause them to break when trying to get them out after they burn out. Pain in the butt. Since someone told me to only put them in until they make enough contact to light without flickering, I've not had any more broken bulbs.
It is, apprently, St. Nicholas Day! My neighbors (who have seven children and the mom homeschools) and their children prepare gifts from St. Nicholas, and leave them anonymously at people's doors on this evening. This is the second time I've been a recipient of their thoughtfulness. This gift was a lovely little basket, lined with a red cloth and Christmas potpouri. Inside were two candy canes, some Ghirardelli and Andes chocolates, a Christmas CD and a Christmas DVD. What a nice surprise to hear the little footsteps on my porch, hear a knock at the door, then to find no one there - and moments later seeing two little figures fleeing down the driveway, hand-in-hand, to the family's waiting car hidden by the trees. A sweet surprise on a cold, dark, snowy night!
