MizT, are you still here. I am.

over we go!

well, what?

RENA was the lurker heheheheh

congrats on a TOPPS

and topper ws not far behind!

hello to both of you, how are you tonight?

ah, the strategies...

I didn't expect TOPP

good, thanks, and yourself?

Well, at least I predicted what would happen heheheh but I can play the straight man.

everyone who topps has to contribute to Stella's condo fund for her mother...

And you did a good job of it, MizT

I am fine except for being sleepy, and it is not even that late.

Good idea, look for HP book on eBay next week, although many will keep this one a while at least, being the last one.

I liked the picture on your page, Rena. Where is Christina Lake? How far from the coast?

Let's see, we are on page 218, there were more pages than that on the first SA, so for each topps, send in a dollar. . . . NO WAIT, I have too many Topps, that would take all my pin money hehehe

Topper, what do we have to contribute. C.Lake is a 6 hour drive from the coast if you drive like my hubby when I'm not with him.

Rena, that is my goal, do what I do well heheheh.

Not always successfull but i try

where does the expression ''pin money'' come from? What does it mean, really?

It's funny that you mentioned my page because I am just putting up a new pic.

that's a long way inland. I always associate BC with Vancouver, Victoria, the Islands. The interior is relatively unknown, I think.

Funny you should ask. I just heard an explination for that on the history channel.

It now means money women need for frivolities, female things, but it originated in Elizabeathen days, when women were pinned into thier clothing, and then, it was a necessity to dressing for court. Men in court also needed pins

you know those ruffs the elizabetheans wore? Well, all those frills and pleats were held in place with straight pins! One way to encourage the ram rod striaght and stiff posture of the day! you bend, you get stuck by hundreds of pins

Christina Lake is a very popular vacation spot. Lots of people have vacation homes or permanent RVs.

Pin money originally referred to money given by husbands to their wives for the specific purpose of buying pins.

That definition came from dictionary.com. And now the new picture is up on my page.

Not emergency money women would pin inside some private part of their clothing?

RENA, a more conscise explination, but you looked it up, I had to remember, but luckily not long, just on tonight.

Topper, Nope, not money pinned in clothing. THAT was Mad Money!

brutally slow...going to try reconnecting.

the site is getting slow early tonight, not that near bottom of the page yet.

MizT, I looked it up because I didn't know what it meant.

It doesn't seem slow to me but some of my comments have been getting lost.

The original sense of mad money is 'money carried by a woman in case she wants to return home from a date without her escort', especially if the reason for this is the escort's unwanted sexual advances. So it's the woman being mad at the escort.

I think topper is trying to get up to speed for the race to TOPPS again :>)

That's what I was told.

but I am going to bed and leave it just this close. Good night all, catch you on the flip side.

Hello one and all.

my comment came in the wrong place

Goodnight MizT
