Beyond this, I have to sell an Xbox system and am trying to trade it for cold hard cash or for a good printer/scanner. This extra bartering option was a disastrous thing to add for people are offering me such terrible combo machines that I could scan things better onto my desktop by stapling the picture to my laptop, and print more professionally using a mixture of drool and tomato ketchup. I'm hitting a point where I have to be cautious of money. Not frightened, but cautious for sure. I'd take a fraction of what I hoped for with the system over a terrifyingly mediocre bit of machinery.
I just called up family in England via Skype, it's 9 AM in England. I called up a mumbling Nan who said "I think you've got the wrong number, mate" and slurred something into the phone before hanging up on me! Haha. I love her.
Last: I may go into Seattle on Friday. We will have to see. I want to do something with the day and need to see someone. I will make calls and plans Thursday evening. If your phone number is one I know or one I can find, beware!
