@DanyTaner...welcome to afterdawn guy! I live in an apartment too and use one of those smokeless grills. Not as good as wood or coal but still a lot better than frying or broiling those foods you usually grill.

3 bottles of red wine, and an amazing hangover all for myself (I'm so lucky)
And a corsair 512 flashdrive.. the modern age strikes..
Somebody gave me a compaq presario 486 dx2 with a lovely fully working windows95, all licensed with the full office suite and publisher 2.. with the memory upgrade I shoved in it last night it's blazingly fast. Windows95 with the mobo limit of 99ram is gobsmacking
I would love to use it as a printer server, but it's one of the monsters with the system partition, so maybe some fun cloning that partition onto a bigger drive is in order..and just keeping this old drive in a box.
Just had a look at the label, it's only 420Mb.. that's an antique...
Oh and it has a real soundblaster 16 fitted, not a clone.. Time for all those old games.

A grill is one of the first things I'm getting when I move. I got this little dinky grill that takes the little bottles of propane,but the management of my complex said we weren't allowed to use them anymore-insurance purposes, LOL
A chest freezer is the 2nd thing to pick up.. I'm tired of this little dinky freezer above my fridge.
I also have to get a gas stove for the house,lawnmower,garage,air compressor. I've got all my wood and power tools in storage.

@saugmon...Lucky You...food in the freezer! All I have is a couple of ice trays and the refrigerator has a gallon of milk and six or seven little containers of leftovers which have been there forever which I'll throw out container and all because I don't know what I'll find if I open them! The cupboard contains only detergent and plates but no food. I just ordered enough chinese delivery to feed me for three days. Time to do some marketing!

There was an Indian Chief, and he had three squaws, and kept them in three teepees. When he would come home late from hunting, he would not know which teepee contained which squaw, being dark and all. He went hunting one day, and killed a hippopotamus, a bear, and a buffalo. He put the a hide from each animal into a different teepee, so that when he came home late, he could feel inside the teepee and he would know which squaw was inside.
Well after about a year, all three squaws had children. The squaw on the bear had a baby boy, the squaw on the buffalo hide had a baby girl. But the squaw on the hippopotamus had a girl and a boy. So what is the moral of the story?
***********************
The squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two hides.

TOP TEN EXCUSES FOR NOT DOING THE MATH HOMEWORK
1. I accidentally divided by zero and my paper burst into flames.
2. Isaac Newton's birthday.
3. I could only get arbitrarily close to my textbook. I couldn't actually reach it.
4. I have the proof, but there isn't room to write it in this margin.
5. I was watching the World Series and got tied up trying to prove that it converged.
6. I have a solar powered calculator and it was cloudy.
7. I locked the paper in my trunk but a four-dimensional dog got in and ate it.
8. I couldn't figure out whether i am the square of negative one or i is the square root of negative one.
9. I took time out to snack a doughnut and a cup of coffee. I spent the rest of the night trying to figure which one to dunk.
10. I could have sworn I put the homework inside a Klein bottle, but this morning I couldn't find it.

A somewhat advanced society has figured how to package basic knowledge in pill form.
A student, needing some learning, goes to the pharmacy and asks what kind of knowledge pills are available. The pharmacist says, "Here's a pill for English literature." The student takes the pill and swallows it and has new knowledge about English literature!
"What else do you have?" asks the student.
"Well, I have pills for art history, biology, and world history," replies the pharmacist.
The student asks for these, and swallows them and has new knowledge about those subjects.
Then the student asks, "Do you have a pill for math?"
The pharmacist says, "Wait just a moment", and goes back into the storeroom and brings back a whopper of a pill and plunks it on the counter.
"I have to take that huge pill for math?" inquires the student.
The pharmacist replied, "Well, you know math always was a little hard to swallow."

well, my Uncle and I just finished a 68' corvette GTO. Runs awesomely but feels like crap. Due to the fact that in 68 they had no clue on how to make a stable sports car. But hey, awesome accelaration but no fu**ing way we can get over 150, if we did the bolts and screws would probably come ratlin' out, like in the movies. Still awesome though, hope I don't loose my temps because of it though XD Can't fricken wait to see how far I can take it on Friday's spring break.
--edit
This is pretty much it:

Only ours is darker, deep maroon shiney! :)
But with a car like this (crappy) you might as well have a convertible. It's about $27,000 but soon we'll be doing a couple $120,000's pretty soon. Roushe engines and all... (leading off topic now, yay for me!)

I don't think that's true; I think American car companies didn't know how to make a sports car but the Europeans did. Years ago, I had a 1966 TR-6 which was awesome ... it drove like a true british sports car; it really hugged the road even at high speeds and with a large 6 with large single barrel carbs, the thing could fly! One thing about them though was that some were really tough and never broke down or they were lemons and broke down once a week. There seemed to be nothing in between. My brother in law had a vet in the 70s; it was very powerful and could really haul but it didn't handle back roads or winding roads very well ... handled more like a big sedan on such roads.
Edit: I can't type worth a crap!

I JUST GOT THIS HP Photosmart this morning as a back to my back up printer.D7360 $149.00 at office max...
If printers were evaluated by first impressions, the HP Photosmart D7360 would be flying off the shelves. The D7360 is impressive: it's well designed, easy to use, fast, and has an adjustable 3.4-inch touchscreen LCD -- that's right, touchscreen.
Thanks to this touchscreen, the D7360 printer has very few of the buttons that typically clutter the front of many photo printers. That doesn't meant that it's stripped, though. In fact, it's chock full of features -- they're just behind that screen. Even better, the D7360 is priced quite reasonably at $199.
The Photosmart D7360 uses six separate color ink cartridges to produce quality photos. Plenty of memory card slots, PictBridge printing, and an optional USB Bluetooth adapter means you can print without the help of a computer.
What's more, the name Photosmart fits. We immediately loaded the printer with inks and paper without reading the manual. The inks were extremely easy to load. Same with the paper -- except for one minor detail, we loaded the paper (Advanced Photo Paper) upside down. The printer spitted it out and told us to reload correctly. Now that's smart. Like the HP Photosmart 8250 (see our review), the D7360 uses "Auto Sense" technology to detect HP paper size and type (including the newly formulated Advanced Photo paper - built for faster printing and drying).
