Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Okay, here's what happened.

I got home late, checked the eBay listing and almost lost my lunch. I thought secretbatline had won and I panicked. I PM'd MLx3 and asked what I should do because it was WAAAAY overbid. She told me that actually ronluvsleather had won and my blood pressure must have dropped at least 100 points.

I had to feed the cats, deal with some mail and PM'd back and forth with MLx3, but here I am. STILL IN SHOCK ! !

THANK YOU, MLx3. Worthy I never would have thought to sell it on eBay. I buy stuff on the site but have never sold anything.

THANK YOU, Dabbs. You got the bidding started and kept it going even though I was desperate for you to stop because I was afraid you'd "win" it.

THANK YOU secretbatline for keeping the bidding going even though I'm sooooooo glad you didn't win. If that sounds mean, I'm sorry, but it wasn't worth the price. It wasn't worth half the price. You can do and deserve so much better.

THANK YOU, everyone for your support and excitement and sympathy for my plight. It's been a crazy few weeks, with LOTS of laughing. And maybe it will be over soon. But not soon enough, trust me. I want that OUT of my living space and OUT of my life.

There's no possibility that it could find it's way "back home" after I mail it off, right? RIGHT??? Bigeye

I enjoyed this from the sidelines...still trying to figure how it all played out. Amusing to the end, even with the drama from NYHottie. Now I know for sure...that our pink stud muffin is truly a lunatic. But I am baffled by secretbatline's involvement. Was that just coy intrigue in comic book fashion, or the real deal?

Congratulations on your job offer! I hope it works out for you, let us know!
I won a travel mug and ceramic mugs, no Bot for me...but that's OK. I'll make a big pot of coffee with the $25 I won from Tim Hortons.

No Bot Pot for me either. I did get a travel mug though. It's all good

Yep, that's the same one she had listed before, and closed the auction. Don't understand why she thinks relisting it for an even higher price is going to work??? Personally, that one is even uglier than the one you sold - what's with the bumps all over the top-center of it?

According to secretbatline, it was the real deal. I told her there's just no figuring some people's taste. laugh out loud

Thank you, MLx3, and thanks to all of you who helped. I'm sorry someone got a bit nasty, but she came in at the end and didn't understand what had been going on.

However, truth be told, I'm not all that wonderful. Fantastic, yes. Amazing, probably. But wonderful is kind of pushing the envelope. Nonetheless, I did print out MLx3's post and have framed copies in every room. See, there's no need to toot my own horn when I've got friends like you.

Maybe all that star dust will give us all good luck
Thank You

Yes, I did go, alright - went right off on that person. Puffed on a cig or two, calmed down, then chose to ignore. Hopefully, he/she/it won't be back - just lurk as usual.

No guarantees, but from the begining of the auction she said how much she liked the bag even though everyone else didn't. I never realized that she was actually bidding until the end when she "fessed up." We were all VERY surprised that she was one of the bidders, but she kept bidding until she couldn't afford any more. I'm so glad she reached that point before the bidding ended. I'm certain she thinks I'm rude and crude to say that, but I don't care. I posted a link above -- in answer to a question from Gary -- and it shows a new bag, with tags, that is going for less money on a Buy Now. She can actually go to a store and get a new one (slightly different because mine was from a year or two ago) which also has the registration papers for $75.

Maybe she was kidding us, but I really don't think so.
