Power Failure

Post by Patrick D. »

I am in Toronto and we are just starting to get the power back on. I work security so I had a nice long day yesterday. It was freaking going out into the street and actually seeing stars in the city for the first time. :shock:

Hello PatrickD,
I take it that you are new here and I welcome you and I hope everyone gets their power back soon.

Welcome

Thanks for the welcome. I am new here and I am a burgeoning stiletto junkie. I am brand new to collecting but once I start collecting something I become absessed. Classic Italian Stilettos are my drug of choice now. Look forward to chatting with all.

Pat,

Welcome to yet another freakin' Canuckian. :cry: To help you with your situation of becoming "absessed", a broad spectrum antibiotic applied topically or taken internally should help. :twisted:

Power just came back on a few minutes ago. I really do hope people don't use too much, I don't want it to take another 18 hours for the power to start coming back on.

welcome to the Canadian [and token American] silliness.

"Welcome to yet another freakin' Canuckian. To help you with your situation of becoming "absessed", a broad spectrum antibiotic applied topically or taken internally should help."

The word we want is obsessed. Next J-man will be correcting spelling, in which case we are all stoned and he is straight. [I don't know which is scares me more].

Patrick Welcome to the Funhouse. You will find a great many people with knowledge of our toys here and then Of course you will find Canadians. "Sigh" But since are friends up in the great white north like switches we have accepted them into the fold. The votes still out on Mr Bigg though. Anyway check out old threads and any questions you have fireaway. Oh yeah you should go up to the top of the page and read the Posting Suggestions although some aren't suggestions but more like mandates that could get your ass banned. Enjoy

A guy I work with is just plain annoying with how exacting he is. His explanation is "The power did not fail, it's delivery did".
And I have to put up with him every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PatrickD welcome from me here in the loony NWUS, just below B.C.!

yessss. it all starts with one little 11" stilletto auto then before you know what happened, you're eating Ramen and plotting your next $1,500 'bargain'. My precioussss.

They should just give the first one away to you because there's no going back.

Glad y'all aren't in the dark anymore. Makes it darn hard to click 'submit order' without the juice.

Absessed!

Post by Patrick D. »

Actually from all the running around I did on the night of the blackout I did feel a little "abscess" on my big toe...but that's another story :twisted:

As to my obsession, I have a stiletto on the way to me, can't wait to get my grubby mitts on it. Thanks for the big welcome guys.
