Old Fashioned Pie Safe for Sale

Hi,

My Dad retired this fall and made this crazy heavy duty one-of-a-kind old fashioned Pie Safe.   -I guess he was bored or something

-Evidently, mom won’t let him start on his next project until he recovers his material cost from this one… I can only imagine.

Anyways, it’s gorgeous.  He’s asking $475.00 for it and will deliver it in North FL for Free.
He’ll deliver in the Southeast for a small fee & a glass of sweet tea…

It’s SOLID.
All White inside and out.
Silver wire screen in the doors.
Beadboard accent.
See Photos below…

Just comment or shoot me an email and I’ll get your contact info to him.
The first one wins… he’s only got one!

Oh, I can dimensions if needed.

Blank Screen HP Notebook

Just Posting what I’ve ran into w/ my HP Pavilion DV2911US.

I ended up w/ a blank screen and the cpu beeped  a few times.  The power would come on but could not access BIOS or start windows.  I went through HP’s support re-seating the HD, RAM, hitting F10 etc.  Finally sent it off, got it back and nothing.  Sent it again, got it back, worked on it for an hour and the same thing happened.  This time during HPs support the IT guy said to take out the top stick of RAM and try to get into BIOS.  It Worked!  We went through the different scenarious until it was narrowed down to “my top RAM slot” wasn’t working.  So, if you get a black screen, can’t access your BIOS, etc… give this a shot.  Now my Laptop is headed back again… planning on using Norton Ghost to create an image once it gets back.

Hope it Helps!

Trade Books for Free @ PaperBackSwap.com

Found a way to save money on all of your books!

Children’s Books
Disney Books
SparkNotes
Manga Books
you name it!

@ PaperbackSwap.com you post all of the books you want to get rid of and trade them for new ones.  You only pay for shipping, around $2.00!  Not bad for a $20.00-$30.00 O’reilly book :)  IF you post 10 books you’ll get 2 free!  They have a huge selection… over 3 million available for request.  I think selection is just one of the things that makes them better than the others.

Box-O-Books

They also have this feature called Box-O-Books.  It essentially allows you to save even more because you agree to swap books by the box!  Everything is shipped media mail so it’s crazy cheap.  Now you’re talking like 10 books for $5.00. Anyways, I think this could be awesome for schools/teachers.  They could just ship the 50 or so copies of the book they’re reading for whatever is next in the curriculum.

How do they make money?

Small convenience fees on printable shipping.  Upgraded member services such as Box-O-Books and a Book Journal service.  They’ve also started up two sister sites- SwapaCD.com & SwapaDVD.com.

The Not-So-Great Depression of 2008-?

I’ve been thinking about this for a while.. like a year or two.. just decided to do a little more research on it.

“Technology grew - the country shrunk - as popularity of automobiles, radios, and movies exploded. Buying on credit or installments was an outcome of the industrial age. In the fall of 1929, the New York Stock Exchange was more active than it had ever been. Economists predicted a permanent high plateau. By October 24, 1929, Black Thursday, the stock market crashed and panic broke out. Banks closed. The nation stayed in this depression through the end of the twenties and most of the thirties.  Check out the Regulatory environment of the 1920s“  —with high highs, comes low lows.

The Roaring 20’s similar to our late 90’s & early 2000’s?
