LIVE THREAD - Lots of Damn Dimes Day!!!

Me

[sinkspur]

Spent $250 on a round-trip airline ticket on Southwest to New Orleans for a last-minute business trip later today.

Will rent a car for $60.00, and stay at a hotel for $110 after a $30 meal.

I want a DVD recorder to put all my old VHS tapes on.

Does anyone have a favorite?

[BreitbartSentMe]

The loony lefties have been sending emails all about, talking about protesting the innaguration to show their displeasure. They decided to name it "Not A Damn Dime Day" and they all pledged not to go to work, and not to spend any money today, in order to have an effect on the economy < ROFLMAO-break > and get their message heard.

We're just doing our part to 'save' the economy.

Gave him two rolls of dimes to hand out at college campus today!... Can't wait to hear from him tonight. Having so much fun today. Listening to GWB speech (9:25am-PST).... Keep tally for FR

[Howlin]

I'll be glad to; I've already been out shopping today -- and may just do some online while I watch the parade and parties!

[SlowBoat407]

Hmmm. I've been wanting a DVR with DVD burner....

[Chad Fairbanks]

I was just at the store down the street, and I spent a dime in one of those candy machines. Got a handful of Skittles™...

Man, am I vindictive, or what? ;0)

[PilloryHillary]

Hubby and I are going on a purchasing spree that we've put off for a couple of months or so.....just for this day. We are purchasing a brand new truck $28K this afternoon, an $800 firplace cover, a $300 table saw.....oh and I have lots of grocery shopping to do. lol STICK IT LIBBIES! GOD BLESS PRESIDENT BUSH AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

What kind did you get? I hope you got one of the new screens. I was looking to replace my Dell Inspiron 5000 last week and I stopped by the local Microcenter...

MANNNN! Those screens on the new laptops are SWEEETTTT!

The Toshiba and HP and Sony laptops have new LCD panels that appear like HDTV with glossy blacks and great colors. VERY nice looking. Also the Toshiba as a 3.2ghz P4 with 512 meg ram and an 80 gig harddrive and DVDRW for $1350!!! Couldn't believe it.

[mbynack]

$50 to fill up the fuel tank on my F-250
$300 for a new Jointer for my woodshop.

[RushCrush]

I bought two "red state" license plate frames, will also buy my "save-the-date" postcards for my upcoming wedding to Juggernaut.
Going out to lunch, and will go to Best Buy for CDs tonight for my Ipod (purchased yesterday-dang)

[firewalk]

here's a bttt

[roylene]

Did not buy groceries for a week so I could shop today. Also getting a jump on spring clothes for the grandkids, gas for the cars..nails done...whatever I can think of.
Someone a week ago gave an address to send receipts to the 'not one damn dime' guy...does any one remember what it is?

[TenaciousZ]

I've got a weakness for organic produce, and I'm planning a stocking-up trip to a local whole-foods sort of grocery store, in the heart of the Left Coast, to the tune of $100 or so -- if in fact the place is open for business today. This should be interesting.

[OpusatFR]

$500 on restocking the linen closet today.

Hope I did my part.

[Syntyr]

Picked up this

http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/Cultures/en-US/ModelDetail.html?PCI=DVD+Recorders&ProductID=DRC8005N

for $161.00 at Sam's Club online auctions two weeks ago. Free shipping. The menu system is a little verbose for my tastes but it is head and shoulders above my Cyberhome 1500 that I have been using for about 1 year now. Great audio quality, Progressive Scan output, Lots of connections and it even keeps a 400 DVD library of what you record.

Have fun!

[azsportsterman]

Does refinancing my home today count?

[Calpernia]

I don't venture into DU Land....

But, I hope it is EMPTY today.

Since they cannot spend a dime,

They shouldn't have their lights on

They shouldn't run any water

No NET access

hee hee, Zot Free day :)

ECM, got some coffee on yet? Popcorn is almost done.

[BreitbartSentMe]

Just damn. Well, tell you wife I said that she should be sure not to have one 'damn dime' left when you're done!! Happy shopping!

[MizSterious]

Oh, I'm doing my part today. I waited until today to order some items, for specifically this purpose. Lotsa "dimes" from here!
