I'd get one of those T's,but my gf threw me a major curveball.I gotta watch my budget in these trying times. She moved out. I took care of her for the last 3 years,got a beautiful 20 month old daughter kinzie,and the ho got some guy named Joe for her next victim. 99.9% of women are psycho. Imagine 4 kids,her,joe,and 2 other kids she baby sits- all in a 1 bedroom house. Child services would love to see that!!!! She's only a couple blocks from some ball fields,so I can do some dumpster diving after dropping kinzie off before work.
Anywho,good riddens. Once a ho,always a ho. I will go for full custody and she don't have a leg to stand on.Her ex will also go for full custody of her other kids as well. She'll be crawling back to me in a couple months.
I've still been hitting the recycle center dumpsters and ball park trash cans. I've got quite a bit of christmas shopping done,and all done with bottle caps. Don't throw them away. Some are more valuable than aluminum cans!!!! Over $275 worth of coke points this year,if they'd ever put any good gift cards back on. I've also been loading up on some nice 300+ cd/dvd wallets from pepsi/amazon.
Ebay cracked down on the people selling bottle caps with codes. No more than 60 pts of coke codes can be sold on ebay,or the auction will be pulled. Mt dew's got a new one,oldschool or new. Indiana Jones on the Dr pepper. Anybody wanting any 20 oz BOGO caps for Pepsi/Mt Dew,let me know. I had 20+ of them the other day. I sold some on ebay,but wasn't even worth the time and effort.
Does anybody think my bottle cap collection/dumpster diving, had anything to do with turning the gf into a psycho HO? LOL!
Everyone have a good and safe Memorial Day holiday!!!!

Thanx bigtox! I got kinzie all weekend and have an appointment with a lawyer next week for full custody. I do not want to see kinzie going through what her 3 other kids have gone through.Once she finds out I'm seeing a lawyer,then she'll probably won't let me see her.
After everything I gave her and sacraficed from myself,it still wasn't good enough.
At least I have a beautiful daughter.She'll be my new dumpster diving teammate. I already can't keep her out of the trash at home, LOL!!!!
I'll be spending all weekend cleaning up my house,dumpster diving,and getting my boat ready for the saugeye trolling season. She left it looking like a pig sty.

I feel for ya Saugmon, and i've been there. But like BT69 said, things usually work out in the end. Fight for your daughter, though. I've missed way too much of my son's life due to my divorce, wouldn't want to see any other parent have to do the same.
We're pulling for ya!

Kinzie and I hit some dumpsters while taking her to the park and to her great grandmas house. Ended up with dell printer,going to see if she works later tonight. I needed the usb cable from it anyways. Not sure,but I think I can get $6 OD vouchers between both the ink carts out of it.
I have to hit some more dumpsters,recycling facilities for boxes to pack up the ex gf's stuff and set it outside. I heard the saugeye are biting and my 3 week vacation is only 3 weeks away!!!!!

A buck?? I just rob the cable from my R300 for my R200 on the backup pc,LOL!
With the price of generic ink doubling,I've been using the leftover carts from my R200 to use up in the R300. I gotta steal the light pink cart next, LOL!!! I hate wasting anything.
I had no time to try the dell printer out. Went to mom/dads to get the both outboards fired up. Then hitching it up for the 1st time on dad's minivan/ground issues. Then getting home to find the connector rod and a half hour to find the tags for the liscense plate. Outboard connector rod still missing. It's going to be a heck of a day tomorrow without it.

I finally got the boat out this morning. Dad and I limited out with saugeye in 4 hrs. I hit the dumpster at the ramp,but the stench of rotting flesh could gag a maggot. I didn't even bother, LOL!

Storms today,so I stayed off the water. Did manage quite a few box codes from the recycle facility. Also snatched up some nice boxes to pack some more of the ex gf's crap. God she's got a ton of crap. 75% of her clothes here don't fit her. I believe I counted 20+ pairs of jeans. I only have 4 prs,and 2 of them I found while clearing the huge mounds of laundry she left.
I still gotta find more boxes. Huge little league/pony league tournaments all weekend,so kinzie and I will hit them. Then home again for more cleaning.

Score!!! While doing my daily walk I stumbled upon, guess what another mac. BUT, this was a powerbook g4!!! Now, it was in pieces, but the only components I couldn't find find were the hdd, the dvd-rom, and the battery. The screen appears to be intact. Only one key is missing from the keyboard. I think I found all the ribbon cables, not sure. So right now I'm at a loss of what to do but I am very excited. Pics as soon as I get the chance.
edit - ... make that two keys.
edit edit - nvm I found the B button. its missing the |\ button.

Gah, I'm missing the sound card ribbon cable and can't find it online. I'll have to return to that trash and hope it has not been emptied out. I need a charger so I can check if it will turn on or not. And if it does will it operate and be worth it to purchase an hdd, super drive, ram, and a battery.

you'll need ram besides the charger to see if posts or not.

Good point ... I think I have a spare stick around here, though it's only 128. But I'm not operating an os so I should be good.
Scratch that, the stick doesn't line up. Need to get a newer one I suppose. *Goes to friends house to raid his stuff*

Now that's just plain lazy... hehehe. :P
I think that I know someone that might take some Wii and GC cases from you to "reduce" the inventory problem you have!!! :P Might make the wifey happy too... :D
btw you could prolly sell those cases on eBay and make a couple of bucks! :D Something to think about. :P
