Remember a little while ago I asked for suggestions for a new domain name because I had to get off the ridiculous RoadRunner home page server? Well, one of the suggestions voted for was gametweak.com. I originally try to get slottech.com, but someone registered it minutes before amhosting tried to get it for me. I was really bummed out and didn't feel like anguishing over it any more. So, I settled on gametweak.com. I had it for 2 days and SOLD it for a thousand bucks. Yep, $1000 US. Of course, it did cost me $35 to register the name so I didn't clear a thousand on it. To top it off, I actually got 2 offers. The first one I turned down because I just didn't like the guy. The second one I accepted eventually. He was pleasant and sincere. So, thanks Phil and you other guys who voted for and pushed that domain suggestion. I figured I could put the money in my newly formed 'buy a Porsche 914' fund, but my wife really, really wasn't impressed with that idea. Ahhh, As Ever Slot

You owe me one! Congratulations on playing the domain name game well. Maybe you should go into business!

LOL Don't be too hard on me gents. I can't keep it from her. She gets to the mail box before I do, she works for the bank, and she'd sense it if I tried to hide it under the mattress ;-( The way I look at it, I didn't complain when she bought her last pair of $20 shoes, so why should she complain about me spending $2800 on an old car? I think she's still mad at me from last winter. I wanted to go to a buddy's house to do some racing. She wanted me to stay around the house while she went to do some errands just in case her car wouldn't start. So I went to the closet, grabbed a broom and threw it in her trunk. She said "what's that for!", and I said if your car doesn't start, drive that home. -- Slot Tweaks & Reviews www.slottweak.com Don Hancock ("Gunner") <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8yiO4.390$[email hidden]... > >You mean to say you actually told her about the money? <G> > > > He's obviously new at this "marriage" thing! lol Give him a few > years and he'll get it figger'd out! > > Gunner > >
