My mother found this at Goodwill on Friday for $2.00. I'm getting a little freaked out because for the past year "something happened" over and over and over again.Like a lifetime of waiting is panning out.Good thing I can't tie all this stuff to number 19 because then I would really be freaked out:)View attachment 11385
:swoon: Holy $h!+! What a find!

Today the mailman delivered a very nice hardback 4th printing of Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. Got it from Ebay for $19.19 (=D) plus shipping!
How exciting!
I love Doc and the guys. I read those in the 80s and just loved them. (I know there was Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday, but it seems like there might have been another too).

I found a copy of Legends, a short story collection of fantasy stuff. The first story is The Little Sisters of Eluria- which I haven't read yet. I'm not really into fantasy novels, but when it comes to anything with SK's name on the cover, I pull the trigger.

It's a Dark Tower story!!! Did you get a hardback? If you did- there is a lovely illustration inside.

I hope that this book will tell you to give me all of your other books... I say, bring that book on! :laugh:

Okay, so I'm trying to build up my library with classic horror novels from the likes of Ira Levin, Peter Benchley, Thomas Tryon, etc. I've several times stated on the SKMB that I would NEVER have a copy of The Exorcist in my home again as I think it gives off bad-gunky vibes. But, last night I purchased a copy off of Ebay for a really good price. I'm letting you all know this because if some bad-gunky stuff starts happening to me then you all will know that I was right in the first place and to let me know to get rid of that book!! ;-D
So, the copy of The Exorcist is up for grabs to the first SKMB member in the US who wants it! The bad-gunky stuff has happened and I am not keeping this book in my house! I was involved in a hit-and-run today (I'm fine!) but my red car, my pride and joy, has been damaged. The *sshat was driving a Cherokee and I pulled up behind him in a parking lot (I always leave plenty of room between myself and the cars in front of me in case someone can't stop in time and hits me from behind) with about 1 1/2 car lenths between us. He was waiting for some workers to finish what they were doing in the lot as he couldn't drive around them. So, after waiting for about a minute he decides to just shove his car in reverse and guns it. I had just enough time to slam my hand down on my horn before he slammed into me. Hit so hard and fast that he ended up ON TOP of my hood! I know the damage doesn't look all that bad, it could have been worse, but it just makes me so d*mn mad that this idiot is out on the road. So, after he gets off of my car he gets out, comes back to me (I'm already on the phone with 911) and say 'I didn't see you.' I said 'I was honking my horn.' Him-'I didn't hear you.' Me- 'Obviously!' Then, while I'm talking to the 911 dispatcher, he bolts back to his Cherokee and speeds off. Got his plate number so now he's up for a felony (leaving the scene of an accident). Ruined my day, week, month! Now I have to deal with all the insurance/repair crap!

The cops should be able to get him quick I would think. I am always worried someone is going to do this to me. I'm sorry it happened to you.
Obviously he didn't want the cops involved, so he's either got a warrant out, was high/drunk or doesn't have insurance. Either way I'll have to come up with the $500 UNINSURED motorist deductable!

I hope he goes to jail. I'm sorry if I sound mean, but I play by the rules, all my life, and this *sshat doesn't and he deserves to be punished.

:( I'm sorry this happened to you ((( kingricefan, ))) but relieved you are okay. xox
