Possible new vehicular addition to the Brown household

So, it looks like we may be getting a new vehicle. Well, more like a 1967 Zenith Blue VW Beetle that is in mint condition. The interior is black (which I don't like) but because of its pristine condition, maybe I'll just get used to it and like it anyway. I don't have any actual photos of him/her, just yet, but when I do I'll be sure to post them right away (or nearly). We can't talk to the second owner about what he'd like to get for it until Monday, I figure, however, its a small price to pay considering I've been waiting for just over a year now to have Sunny D up and running. For those of you who don't know, Sunny D is a 1972 VW Tintop Bus my husband bought for $1,200 cash outright from a salvage yard in March of 2008. And about 3 weeks ago, he bought another 1972 VW Tintop Bus (also not running) for $175 cash to either use as a parts bus or perhaps get it running as well. I've been begging for months to have my own car and it looks like my wish may be coming true.

Cell phones and online scams

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. I start my blog this way because I felt like it and I like the quote. What does it have to do with my blog title? Absolutely nothing but it came to me in a flash and I had to write it down so I didn't forget it. Now, onto my blog about cell phones and online scams. I hate to admit it, but we just spent $60.00 for a stolen Palm Treo from some guy on a bicycle. Did we check into it being stolen on the off chance it was? You bet. I made the cursory phone call to the Police Department, but of course, it wasn't reported stolen, so I thought all was well, until I took it to the phone store to have it put on my account. Low and behold, it had indeed been stolen just a couple of days before I bought it off Craigslist. Never again will we be so stupid to do that. Lesson learned.
