Those rock! Or, umm, err...

The black recliner is pretty creepy however.

Another thing I thought would never exist that the internet has proven me wrong. Bad <deleted> rocking chair

Those are great looking chairs, but they look very uncomfortable.

I love the second one, very cool!!

[Pumpkin_Man]

I agree with Witchy. I think the 2nd chair looks much creepier then that flowered cushion on the first chair. I don't think I would sit on either one of them however, 1, because I wouldn't want to risk damaging it, and 2. it probably wouldn't be very comfortable with a rib cage and a skull digging into my spine. What I would LOV to do, is put that 2nd chair out on my front porch with a jack o'lantern on it to greet all the ToTers.

This may be of interest to you guys. If you have some coins laying around the house you can take them to a Coinstar and trade them in for an Amazon gift certificate. For free. Normally Coinstar charges something like 10% to cash in your change but if you choose a gift cert from one of their affiliates there's no service charge. I took in the coins I had collected since I moved into the new house, 2 months ago, and came out with $48.00. Can't wait to see how much is in my full 5 gallon jug!

That's a very creepy looking skull. I don't have a lot of coins laying around. I had to cash them in so I could keep my head above water due to medical bills, but it looks like you can plug that skull into a computer via those USB ports. Let us know how it works.

its a USB hub Mike

[Pumpkin_Man]

So in other words it's more or less like a junction box. The skull itself has no programming. No problem. I still think it's pretty cool, though and would love to have something like it for Halloween.

Mike

[NeverMore]

Yeah, it's a USB 2.0 hub with a bowl in the top where you can toss your keys or thumb drives or whatever. I'd been eyeing it for some time. Wanted to try out the Coinstar/Amazon thing so it seemed like a good non-essential toy to buy before the online taxes kick in.

[Pumpkin_Man]

Right now, money is a little tight, but I really wouldn't mind having something that creepy for my home computer.

Moving bites the big one!

I stopped going to Ebay. A few years back they changed their total policy and today if you want to buy something from them, you are required to give them your checking account number or an active card number. Even if you pay through that scuzzy pay pal or even if you use the Ebay gift cards. Doesn't matter how small your purchase is, they want personal information that I'm not willing to give them.

Amazon has gift cards and if you use their gift cards, they don't require you to give them such personal information and the Amazon gift card will never Expire. I just got a book today that I bought from Amazon called Weird Georgia by Jim Miles. It has stuff in it that folks like us enjoy.

[Pumpkin_Man]

That is rather arbertrary of them, Kolchak. I don't like to give out my checking account routing number over the web. I have, ocassionaly used my debit card to make purchases, though. I also don't see why they would even need that information if you are going to use a gift card. The last time I used a gift card, the cash limit was displayed right on the screen, so I knew right away how much I could and could not spend.

I called to complain and got what sounded like a 12 year old girl, who couldn't understand what the big deal was about giving personal information out. Its time like that you realize two things. The first is we don't live in a free society and the second is that waaaay too many people just don't care.

You talk to people like that girl and see how easily they give up their rights and you come to a chilling conclusion that its people who think like her, are the same kind of people who thought Auschwitz was a good idea.
