Here's a good idea: Don't drink and E-bay.
Just a thought.
Especially when you told your friends you couldn't go out this evening - even though it was a goodbye party for one of them - because you couldn't afford it. Especially when your friends had to pay your taxi home. Especially when you're totally counting on putting anything you win on E-bay on your credit card.
But dude! Hundreds of knitting needles!!! For under $50? I got outbid on my mega deal of $26, I'll be damned if I get outbid on my deal of $50.
I was going to buy new glasses, but they can wait until next month, right?
As Ray Ramano would say (before he was a sit-com star and was just a lowly character on a Dr. Katz episode - aka back when I thought he was a demi-god), "That's how they get ya. That's how they get ya."
Not quite sure how I stumbled onto this blog, but that was a funny story.
So they're shipping the knitting needles to France from the US? Those are going to be some well-travelled needles.
Well, they're getting shipped to my parents and then they'll either send them to me or put them in their suitcase when they next come to visit. Depends.
I have so many friends that are getting worryingly obsessed with ebay. It's scary really.
You're so right about Ray Romano circa Dr. Katz. He was by far the funniest recurring character.
