Would someone like to open the bidding for Lot 2? An exquisite little membership number, perfect for the arriviste or the long-established board member alike. We start the bidding at $30. Do I hear $30...?

Oh go on then. 24 is my "lucky" number and someone has to be humiliated into not affording to be able to keep up, don't feel bad.

Somebody make Sine really earn this number, please! We all know he's just going to blow his money on clothes if the Ship doesn't get it.
Do I hear $175?

No, but you'll hear $155. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
It's way too early in the process for me to jump $25!

Will you feel half your age if your membership number is? Stick with 98. You can grow into it over time. Besides you inherited it, remember?

I'm not playing games. Yet.
As I already pointed out, I'm just having fun risking some of my son's college tuition money.
Look at her response, Sine. "Risking" her son's tuition! There's no risking here. She makes it sound as if she's speculating return on investment. I'm telling you there is something fishy going on. Beware jlg, inc.™

Half my age isn't available, sweetcakes. Is this one perhaps yours?

You see? The flippant, cavalier tossing of dollars?
Don't say I didn't warn you.

I knew there was a reason I didn't give that homeless man any money after church last night. He didn't really look that hungry...

I have scraped my cupboard bare, and my elderly grandfather will not be getting a Christmas present this year.
I intend to buy this number, then lose interest in the Ship and never post again ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif)

And #24 is on the move! Not that much time left ... consider your strategy, your pocketbook, and what you can give to the Ship. We very much appreciate it.
