for anyone thinking I've finally lost ALL marbles)
hehehe my dil is a teacher with head start, the other day she came home and said she was talking to another teacher and a marble fell off a shelf and rolled across the floor. I told her to tell em that as many times as she's lost her marbles with them lil kids, that she finally found ONE of em!


I keep them in a jar so I can always find them Hahahaha

They are very pretty marbles :wub:
Excellent idea!! But I'd lose the jar

LOVE it.

And a hearty :toast: to Taco Bell!!!
oh that's barely food. It's slightly more actual food than McDonald's, but not by much! :lol:

I takem apart and reuse the coil and add new kgd cotton.been doin them that way a while.
You're a better man than I am! :lol:

I'm going in on the 22nd to schedule another operation.
wow....is this one with another doctor? My son's had 5 surgeries for the same issue, but not due to Dr's not doing it right. He scars aggressively, so the scar tissue blocks the issue back up again. the more surgeries he has, the worse it gets, but he's had to have them to get rid of the blockage. Sure hope they can fix you sweetie!!

Trying to read through the thread, learn and catch up. I apologize in advance for late comments to the earlier posts.
we're glad to have you here.....even if you are a friend of DP's :p
(totally j/k, he's a doll, and so is Kat)
Actually the first quote (I think) that you posted, sent me on a nice trip down memory lane, to the first Battle Pillarz game when I first found the BB'ers. My first post here was Jan 5th, so almost a year.

Sorry, I can't like this. Adding you to my prayers.
Thanks Freedom. They're just working on the lid this time. The first doc sewed it shut so long some of the lashes were growing in to my eye. When they removed them my lid hung down and obstructed what sight I had. They're going to try to fix that. Then the other doc is working on my eye. I'm going to have more money in this eye than the six million dollar man.

Basically, if I remember correctly, when DD first announced the BB, there was HUGE demand. He had to make pre-sale lists to deal with demand. I was watching and waiting and hoping to get on one of the lists, but kept missing the announcements. One time, I missed an announcement by just a few minutes by going out to get tacos. I mentioned this in a post and I guess it made DD chuckle. I was put on a list and someone on the original thread let me know. I became a diehard BB fan shortly thereafter...

Oh skot, talk about mem'ry lane! You just shot me back in time (NOT on a hoverboard). DD of BB first had a pre-order list (I missed that one), then had a pre-sale list (got myself firmly on THAT one), then the actual sales started.

I pre-sale-ordered my first B Box on December the 21, 2012. Then the wait began. And we waited. And waited. AND WAITED!

Finally, on the 14th of March...... the little raw, original, gorgeously shiny babe arrived. Ooooo. AHHHHH!

I told the doc I came in with a tiny scratch on my pupil almost 6 yrs. ago. Have had at least 5 operations most of from what drs. did to it. I now have an eye that barely opens again from drs. and can't see as a good as when I come in. If I would of known this was the outcome I would of never started.
I'm going in on the 22nd to schedule another operation.

J5ish..... our thoughts will be with you during this journey. Always. All ways. :wub:


Thank you for the welcome. I'm not a Billet Box owner - yet, but will hopefully getting one after the first of the year. Trying to read through the thread, learn and catch up. I apologize in advance for late comments to the earlier posts.

Thank you, DP :). Yes, Kat and DP have been helping me build a starter kit for my nephews. They have mentioned the Billet Box and sparked my interest. Both have been very kind and understanding of my limited knowledge. I do have to get one now though, since I took advantage of the Ohman link DP posted earlier (I enjoy rebuilding).

Official welcome to our bud, F2V! I think it's going to be as much fun for us to read quotes of posts from days gone by, as it will be for you to first read them. I like it!

And it will definitely be fun to share in your excitement of getting your first B Box! Premature congrats, hon!

I really wish I would have kept my first original BB. I remember it fondly. I got on one of the first lists by making DD laugh. Ah, the memories.
I somehow missed welcoming you, I think I thought your post was by F2V. So a hearty welcome to you!!!

And it will definitely be fun to share in your excitement of getting your first B Box! Premature congrats, hon!
Jup!!!

And DBD...... thank you. I missed not what you said. {{{DBD}}}


By the way, how's your snail mail doin' these days? ;)
hehehe I had to go look to see what you were talkin bout, but what I said, cuz that was more than 10 seconds ago and I forgot! :lol:
Omgggggggggg I've been trying not to just go grab the mail, since she wants me to get the other stuff, that I can't do by myself, but good grief.......it's been impossible to get my son over there, he's now working about 15 hrs a day instead of 13, and they changed the schedule so he got only one day off this week (today) and we couldn't go. He's got 3 days off next week, so I'm kidnapping him! His wife will also be off, and she has many plans for him, but If we don't get over there during those 3 days, I'm gonna be VERY unhappy!!! But if it doesn't happen then, I will just take him to work, swipe his truck and go grab the mail and whatever of my stuff I can get by myself. this is driving me nuts!!

I remember those days too . . . I SO WANTED A Billet Box, just couldn't afford one . . . Matter of fact, I even remember those crazy insane contest "DD" had where Ya' had to try and read his mind or know some extremely weird trivia or fact . . . Very frustrating to say the least . . . :facepalm:

anyone thinking I've finally lost ALL marbles


Okay - What do "You" mean Think . . . Just Sayin' . . .
winking-sticking-out-tongue-smiley-emoticon.gif



I'm going in on the 22nd to schedule another operation.

Can't like that post at all . . .
smiley-says-no-emoticon.gif


"GOOD VIBES" & "Healing Thoughts" . . . are being sent "Your" Way.

I'm going to have more money in this eye than the six million dollar man.
ROLFSit_zpsv8lljcye.gif

However, I can "like" this one and so glad to read that "You're" seeing the humour in all of this too . . .
flirty-wink-smiley-emoticon.gif


I'm not a Billet Box owner

AH - Give it time, "You" never know what can happen . . . HEY - Both I and @Debadoo weren't Billet Box owners when "We" joined the thread either, however "We" were extremely lucky to WIN "ours" during the "Pillarz" Contests . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Premature congrats, hon!

If Ya' only knew what I really thought I was reading . . .

YEP . . . BEEN THERE - DONE THAT . . . So - I can attest to that fact "Myself" . . .
wink.gif


a timeout at 50 yrs old

Well - When I got a "Time-out" I was 57 . . . It's Wasn't That Bad. . . Just a little frustrating, since it was an innocent mistake that was taken to the extreme by others who did not like what was being posted, because it was different then they were used to . . . Just Sayin' . . . :facepalm:

whats an uno btw?
Hey Bush. You've seen Pacheco's marvelous work, yes

DP Thank you for answering the question for Rudedog on the UNO. I know I would like one and trying to see what I'm able to do to get one. My disability case is on standby as I wait for a trial date to find out the final outcome.
Yes I have seen Pacheco's work. They are all works of art and love seeing the new ones with the laser engraved pictures in the leather. Another I have to wait on getting.
