Any Wizard of Oz fans? I love that movie. 1939 is my favorite movie year.
Just back from seeing it on the big screen in 3-D. It was really good. Amazing really. A complete different experience than on TV. |

I do like Wizard of Oz, Art. Can't imagine what it must be like in 3D - especially when the tornado was carrying her house away!
My sister in law and her husband came by this evening, and Karen noticed my Ball watch. She tried it on, liked the size and shape and said she was interesting in having a nice watch in a larger size, with a substantial case. Does anyone have any recommendations for a mechanical watch that would be relatively inexpensive, as in a few hundred dollars? She's never had a mechanical watch... I think she likes the concept of a timepiece that never needs batteries. |

Good morning guys.
Those soft boiled eggs pictures made me drool yesterday, thank you Wes! Glad to know you've got an egg Lisa, I'd like to reserve the next one please... Wizard of Oz, that's a movie I haven't watched in several years! Yes they are (as much as you can consider a Rolex movement good, I know I do) but I believe they are single quickset, therefore I believe (though I may be mistaken) that the day will not change quickly when you pull the crown out once, you have to set the time to have it changed. Good idea, perhaps Bulova has a few nice models as well.

Happy Anniversary to you and your girlfriend, Carl. Are you going to do something fun/special to mark the occasion?

I know this is weird, but the Wizard of Oz scared me SO bad when I was a kid. I literally can still freak myself out thinking about that creepo lady stealing Toto. I'm not a normal, I know.

It scared me to death too. I was thinking about that when I was watching the movie. It's still scary to me.

A guy at work had a fairly cheap mechanical Seiko and it was nothing but trouble, stopping and not keeping good time. I'm sure there are some that are reliable but that would be the risk you might run. I would recommend a quartz at cheaper prices, I know that doesn't fit the requirement. |

But it has become a slang derogatory term, but also in a jokey way if that makes sense. We even have a program here called cowboy traders. Uncovering shoddy/rippoff workman and companies. |

Thank you all, I appreciate the kind thoughts and wishes.
We went to a restaurant on Friday night, just a nice and calm evening with the two of us to enjoy some quality time. She even bought me a small gift that I shall show you shortly.
