I like that rumor a lot. I like him as a director, writer, and actor.

[different_seasons]

different_seasons ... Send me the links for the caches you tried to find.

I already looked them up.

One was Drummonds Family Pond, almost there, thats creepy and see dear.

I'm trying again today at some different spots.

Just heard a rumor that Ben Affleck( gone baby gone, THE TOWN) is directing THE STAND.

Watched THE TOWN last week for the first time and really enjoyed it. Dunno what kind of job he'd do on The Stand, though.

Affleck's a phenomenal writer IMO & so far I think he's done a very good job at directing, so I imagine he'd do a great job. That being said, it could turn out like some other King movies where the movie itself is very entertaining but doesn't do the book justice.

I think THE TOWN showed he can direct action...the problem is even in a two movie series (like THE HOBBIT), I'm not sure everything gets adequately covered.

That's what's probably going to suck about it; I doubt the vast majority of the storyline will have its turn on screen. But, I guess this was expected, regardless of director, for the sake of time.

[Rahfa]

I'm not even sure they're talking two movies....I guess I'm just assuming they are.

[Shannon]

We always start with the caches closest to us if we're just looking to find them, but if we have time and want to go rock climbing or something, then I find some that are away from us.

The main thing is the GPS coordinates. Whenever you get to the coordinates it says, it's in about a ten square feet radius. Look for anything out of the ordinary, a pile of rocks (with the cache in the middle), look behind signs, look on the top and bottom of things. Most caches are either metal ammo cans or small film containers.

Did you look at the clues for the caches you tried to find? If we go out and can't find it, then we come back and look at all the comments that people left. We went out to find a "drive-through cache" ... looked EVERYWHERE, couldn't find it. Came back, and someone wrote that "I was driving, but my wife was able to grab it from the car without even getting out" so we knew kind of where it was after that. It ended up beind in a light pole, under a part of it that moved, lol. Ridiculous. Great hunt for that one.

Drummond's Family Pond: The clue says its under a rock. And people say they are switching items around (which we sometimes do, so bring a few small little cool items, nothing expensive or anything) one guy said he left a marble and took a bouncy ball, so I'm thinking it's in a metal ammo can.

Almost There: This one is in a blue cooler, it's on the trail (walk, don't drive, it's not that far, they say), it's "easy to find for my four year old", lol

That's Creepy: Close to the road, there are pictures on the page and one looks like it shows where it is (look for"View Gallery" near the top right of the page), HEY I see you left a message AND you found four caches, great! Including the Drummond's Good job! It's a lot more fun when you find them! lol When we don't find it we are super disappointed, but we use that as fuel for the next cache, lol.

See Dear: This one is in a quiet "wildlife watching spot", under the shade, a little bit of water running right now. There are two pics on this one too, but I don't see them as helping because all the snow and trees over there makes everything look the same, lol.

Glad you're getting into it! :)

[John Blaze]

i've always wanted to go geocaching. One of the .netters told me all about it back in the day. Someone that lived in TX, i remember. Was it Boome, maybe?

LeftyWriter was a Texan geocacher. Him?

My sister and her family do this a lot and love it.

IDK, maybe. It was long ago...on a website far far away.

[Ben Staad]

I just finished putting DJ covers on twenty five of my SK books. For all the new collectors out there I highly recommend doing this. I found some very interesting things about my books doing this and it was actually fun...of course as I type this I feel a bit silly saying it was fun.

P.S. I also found out I have a giant security tag on the inside DJ of Liseys Story which I never knew was there. Now I need to read through the threads and see if there is anyway to remove this!

Thanks Brice! Since this is a hard plastic security deal I think I need to start with the hair dryer technique.

[Brice]

Or the suggestions in my first post in the thread. :P

[Brice]

I just got the final issue of Antaeus (damn, that's a big magazine... More a book really) and four issues of midnight graffiti. I wonder if the bookseller who advertises the first state 'salem's lot will still sell it to me for $2500. :orely: maybe he'll give me a deal if i buy his lettered firestarter listed for $3500 too.

My kid and I went back out yesterday and found 4/7, including the Drummond pond one. Thanks, for the info, alot of that stuff I didn't know. The lady that maintains the Thats Creepy one messaged me that it was a spider inside the guardrail that had directions to the cache in a nearby hollow tree. It was my first time out and I thought it was going to be easy!

Are you on that website? I'm emphacia.

[Shannon]

Brice, where are you seeing these items? lol

[Brice]

I saw them in an advertisement in the sk issue of midnight graffiti (rainy season) . I believe you have that.

[Shannon]

Brice: lol got it, I thought you meant the person that sold you the Antaeus and Midnight Graffiti also had those items for sale, lol.

different_seasons: I'm on the site as Ambannon (Amber and Shannon, lol). Geocaching is a lot of fun but there are some hardcore ones. I saw one where the clues were something like "It's in the middle of this lake, dive down 75 feet and go into the underwater cave ..." Insane.

[Brice]

LOL Shannon, i love you guys, but do you think if i found both of those items for about 6 grand that I'd be telling y'all before buying them? Hell, I'd be on a plane en route to their house immediately.

[Shannon]

lol, I figured as much. :)

[biomieg]

Blehh. I'm waiting for a package from Betts Books and of course it has ended up in customs limbo... it arrived in The Netherlands four days ago but it will probably take another 4 weeks before I'll get it (I'm serious!).

Update: the package went through customs really quickly! Unfortunately, it was then sent to my old address (I moved to a different city over a year ago). After a failed delivery attempt, it was immediately returned to sender. So it should be somewhere over the ocean right now, flying back to David. I hope it gets back to him in one piece and then it can cross the Atlantic for the third time, hopefully to the right address. Third time's the charm, right?

*For the record, I don't blame David. It's an unfortunate mix-up, sh*t happens.

[Tito_Villa]

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

[biomieg]

Oh yes.

[Randall Flagg]

What a disaster. I suppose as long as it survives undamaged it will all be fine.

Don't know where else to put this, but check out my new additions to my Stephen King Spreadsheet, COVER PHOTOS! I'm pretty excited about this extremely time-consuming new column. The little bit I've done so far looks great. Check it out:

Congratulations, Shannon!!! You are officially more "anal" than I!!!! Knowing my level of OCD that'sreally saying something!!! LOL

:clap::clap::clap:

[biomieg]

Looks nice (I also have an OCD-influenced 'database' of my collection). I don't understand the 'order' column though. What is the reasoning behind the entries in that column (i.e., why are the DT books assigned labels like 'Dark Tower Border 1')?

[Brice]

Wow, that's great. I wish i knew how to do that sort of thing. When i want to know what i've got i have to look half the time.

Impressive, Shannon, most impressive! Makes me think that perhaps I should do my own spreadsheet to cover what I've got in my own little collection.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

When i want to know what i've got i have to look half the time.

What do you do for the other half?

[Shannon]

Thanks guys, I like the way it looks a lot, but it's gonna take a lot of work inserting all those pics. :)

bio: The spreadsheet tab I started with is my "Other Books", reissue collections and such. And when I want to see things in the correct order, I sort by it: Holdorf 1, Holdorf 2, etc. The Dark Tower Border ones are the paperbacks with the picture in the center and then a border around it, like in the pictures. I haven't given it a name yet, so right now I just name it DT border, lol.

The ORDER tab for US First Editions and Signed Limited are 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, and they go in order, so it's easy to sort.

[biomieg]

That makes sense! It was the 'border' designation that threw me off.

By the way, the pics look great but they are a huge PITA when you want to rearrange the rows in the spreadsheet. I actually had a very similar Excel sheet a couple of years ago, with book cover pics and information. But everytime I inserted/deleted a row or sorted the rows in a different way it got all messed up because the pics stayed in the same spot while all the rest changed around... I pasted each pic in a cell but apparently they are floating on the worksheet rather than actually being part of the cell underneath. So be very careful.

The only workaround I know of for earlier versions of Excel is inserting the picture in a comment balloon, but then it will only be visible when you hover over the cell. In your newer version you may be able to change the picture property such that it moves with the cell, but I haven't tried that (but maybe you did and I'm providing redundant information here).

[Shannon]

The pics floating around the spreadsheet was a pain in the ass when I first put them in, but then I found a way to keep them in the spot, no matter how I sort.

[Brice]

When i want to know what i've got i have to look half the time.

What do you do for the other half?

:lol:
Those are the times when my few remaining brain cells can remember.

Yay, 1,000+ posts! I am a Demon Of The Prim! Nice.

[George at C-Springs]

Placed an offer on a house today, after weeks of looking for the right place ... found this one after it was on the market one day, we were the first and only ones to see it. The area it's in is called "Point of the Rocks". 4 br/4 ba, 3 car garage (will use one for storage/workspace), about 2900 sq ft, nice kitchen, couple of fireplaces (living room and master bedroom), full views of Pike's Peak and the front range, sits on a .39 acre lot with a bunch of great Colorado "red rock" style boulders in the "backyard" (it's freakin' huge) which my son will just love to play on. Won't need any work immediately, should be able to just move right in. Future projects will include removal/replacement of some butt-ugly wallpaper, nice hardwoods instead of carpet in living/dining room, a deck (or two) and some landscaping in the backyard to show off the boulders (it's all brush now), and a swingset for the kids. Will find out by 8 PM tomorrow night whether or not the seller accepts the offer ... fingers crossed.

[Shannon]

Good luck, it sounds great, and what's more important, is that YOU think it's great, which is pretty obvious by your description of the house. Hope everything goes smoothly! :)

[biomieg]

I'm always curious what a house like that actually costs in the US. Here in The Netherlands it would probably be between €400,000 and €750,000, depending on the location! Of course we're a small and overpopulated country.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

We in the UK have the smallest houses in Europe. The cost of a 'normal' size house in the USA would be several million £s here, for the same square footage.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8201900.stm

[George at C-Springs]

Housing prices are awful in Europe, it was the same way in Italy and Germany where we were looking at €300K-500K just for a 2 or 3 br. Well, things are definitely cheaper here, at least in this area of Colorado ... the asking price is $250,000, we're offering $245,000 and they pickup closing costs (about $5,500). It's a pretty good price considering location and amount of land, which is unusual for the "middle of town". I know the same money wouldn't even get you an apartment in other places, but that's why we didn't move there!

[biomieg]

That's what I thought and I'm very happy you found this place at a very good price (IMO). I hope it all works out!

[Merlin1958]

IDK about you guys, but that "chewing Pumpkin" at the top of the Forum page is starting to seriously freak me out!!!!

Congrats on the four years! And even MORE congrats on Amsterdam! lol

Amsterdam is a great and beautiful city as long as you don't go to the tourist-y part.

[Ari_Racing]

Hey all.

As many of you know, since last year (today is one year exactly), I started with a couple of associates a videogames company. We won one government contest to have an office and we're getting close the renewal date. And, in order to do that, we must achieve some requirements. One of those is to have a preliminary approval of a local funding, and one of the steps asks about how many Facebook fans and Twitter followers do we have.

So, if you people use any of these platforms and can lend a hand becoming a fan in Facebook and following us in Twitter, that'd be a great help!

I don't do Facebook but I've followed both on Twitter. Good luck with it!

By the way, is anybody else having problems accessing The Collector's website? I keep getting directed to a domain registry site.

EDIT: It's back up and running!

[Robert Fulman]

I'm going to leave most of the details out of this story, because most people would doubt that they could possibly be true (and they probably also demonstrate that I am incredibly naive/trusting). Anyway, in August I paid $150 for some Stephen King items. Because I had done business with the seller in the past with no problems, I PayPalled the money as a gift so that the seller wouldn't have to pay any fees. That was over two months ago, and I haven't received my items. After a couple weeks, I e-mailed the seller about the items, which I hadn't received. They said they had been sent (insured but not tracked), and that they would get back to me with details about replacements. Since then, I have sent a few more emails, and even a PM on this site, but I have received no response.

Because I tried to be a nice guy and "gifted" the money, Paypal can't help me out. I don't really need the $150 that bad, and I certainly don't need any more SK junk cluttering my house. I'm not trying to guilt or shame the seller into "making this right", and I have no interest in "outing" the seller. I'm just disappointed that this is how things turned out, and it seems like this is the only closure I'm going to get on this issue.

[The Library Policeman]

Both Facebook pages "liked" Ari.

Robert, that stinks. Sorry to hear that. Sounds as if you have dealt with a bad apple.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

That sucks. I didn't know the buyer wasn't protected with the gift option.

Mulleins

[Brice]

I would guess from paypal's pov that since it was a gift nothing was purchased.

[AKC]

I would guess from paypal's pov that since it was a gift nothing was purchased.

Also note that Paypal has begun charging 3% to the Sender of any and all "gift" payments.......

You do have the option of the recipient of the "gift" to get charged the 3% but, either way, somebody is paying it....

AKC

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Excellent point Brice. It's a $ gift, not an item.

[jemaher]

It is weird to me that so many people have had trouble with paypal. I have used it a lot to buy ebay and other items and have not had any difficulty. The only time i ever got stiffed was my dumb fault.

[Tito_Villa]

So it is less than a week until my flight to Boston, staying there for 2 nights, then to Portland and Bar Harbour before traveling into the White Mountains. Does anyone have any suggestions of anywhere on the way i can't miss visiting?

[Robert Fulman]

Just to be clear, my problem isn't with Paypal. I understood what I was doing when I gifted the money. I just miscalculated the risk that my stuff would never arrive.

[Shannon]

Let me get this straight ... you made a deal with someone on this forum ... you sent them $150 ... you didn't get your items AND this person has been super slow/dodging your emails/PMs ... it's been two months ... and you DON'T want to out this person?

You are a much better person than I. If someone screws me, ESPECIALLY from this forum, I'm telling everyone.

Now, your items COULD have been lost/misplaced by the mail system. It's unlikely, but it's possible. But for the person to be so damn unhelpful and absent, it sends up red flags.

[God]

Out them.

[Brice]

Well, i'm not putting pressure on or nothing. I can understand not wanting to out them, but not outing them is almost letting someone else get screwed.

[Robert Fulman]

Out them.Judge not, lest not... Oh, wait.

Totally agree....

The whole point of buying-selling on this forum (which I haven't really done) is because of the trust.

It's not a question of "out them," it's a matter of protecting everybody else. The person took advantage of a FREE selling site and then didn't stand by their product.

They either pay you $150 (and that's the way it is - if it was lost, it's their fault, not yours) or you blab their name to the rooftops.

Seriously - it's not about being 'polite,' but protecting the next potential customer.

I agree. I'm not a big time collector like you folks and $150 is a helluva lot of money to me.

[Patrick]

Glad things are going well for you both in your lives, herbertwest and Ari!

Robert Fulman, sorry to hear things are going badly with that transaction. Personally I've used the gift option on Paypal multiple times in transactions with members here. I know it's conceivable to get screwed but these are members I've known for years on TDT (in its various incarnations) and now consider to be friends.

There are others here who I don't know as well but would consider using the gift option to save them a few bucks. If you feel that things are not on the road to satisfactory resolution soon, I hope that you will let us know, so that others can proceed with caution. Ultimately though, I'd prefer to see you made whole on your transaction.

Tito - If you're a WWII or naval buff, you need to visit Battleship Cove down in Fall River, about an hour or so south of Boston. They have the battleship USS Massachusetts (fired the first and last shots of WWII), the destroyer USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr (played critical part in the Cuban missile crisis, battle in Korea, and was part of the Mercury and Gemini space programs), submarine USS Lionfish, couple of PT boats (only ones left in the world), the Russian missile corvette Hiddensee (only one on display in the world), and a WWII Landing Craft. You can go on and in all of the boats (except the PTs). Nearby there's also a Maritime Museum. It's all worth a daytrip if you're interested in this kind of thing; website is http://www.battleshipcove.com/

[Shannon]

lol what is that from? That's great!

[George at C-Springs]

Well, it's official ... the sellers accepted our offer tonight and we're going to be homeowners! Yay! Funny thing is, it's not on the home I talked about in my previous post (with the boulders). Those guys countered our offer (which really pissed us off), which made us reconsider, so we decided not to go for it. Two days later we found this new place just 3 blocks from the other one and it's much nicer, in a better area, it's bigger (2900 sq ft, 4 bdrm / 4 ba), already updated (new roof, new windows, new kitchen, new deck), and we got it for $2.5K less. About the only things I want to do before moving in is to replace some parquet with hardwood and paint a couple of rooms. The timing all worked out great; tomorrow's my wife's birthday (nice present) and after we close on November 30th we'll go the next day to open presents for my son's birthday on December 1st. Yay!


lol what is that from? That's great!

Shannon - That's classic Saturday Night Live, Celebrity Jeopardy ... Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek and Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery. How can Shannon'sMovies not know that! Shocked! Shocked I am!!!

To be fair, I didn't know either, at first. Then again, i'm a Brit, where we had the relatively shortlived Friday Night Live, so that's not so bad.

Had the house inspection completed yesterday ($355 down the hole) and it went pretty well. No high-ticket or significant safety items found, but of course a bunch of smaller things (the house was built in 1986 so that was expected). Biggest ones for me, which I'll kick back to to the seller and hope that he will cover, are a new hot-water heater that was installed without a permit/inspection (he'll just need to have the permit issued and then the install inspected), water pressure too high (120 PSI vs 80 PSI max), dryer exhaust vented to a crawl space rather than outside (what were they thinking?), and the main breaker panel is under-amped (should be 200A, is only 100A). All in all though it went pretty well. Found out there was a huge storage above the garage which I didn't know about and that the deck has a permanent gas line for a BBQ grill, both nice surprises. The seller also offered to give us a big TV and nice entertainment center for the kids playroom that he wouldn't be using, as well as a small flatscreen mounted in the kitchen. Really nice guy, pro golfer, he and his wife are moving to a smaller townhome because the kids are grown and out of the house; closing day is 18 years to the day that they closed on it themselves! Next step is the VA appraisal, which will hopefully be in the ballpark.

Barnes & Nobles can suck it! I pre-ordered two copies of 11/22/63 with hopes that I would have them today and take them to the Sarasota signing on Monday. I knew this was cutting it close so I called them...per B&N the books would ship on the 8th which with expediated shipping would put it into my hands anywhere between the 9th and 14th. Well guess what!? The book did not even ship until today the 10th! I now will have two reader copies of this book which isn't a bad thing (I hope) but now I will have to pay for two full price copies to take with me to Sarasota.

I'm sick of companies that cannot provide accurate and honest information! :angry_002:

got another truck today a nice 2006 ford F150 4 door crew cab - sweet lookin' - waiting for the dealership to put on new knobby's and will pick it up tuesday.

my house is getting crowded...
V8 Fiero
2008 Miata
97 Dodge Ram truck
Harley Electra Glide with touring package and side car
5x8 enclosed DJ trailor
21 foot mastercraft ski boat
and now, the Ford crew cab

hmmmm... out of space... looks like I need to sale the dodge ram maybe

wouldn't be so bad... except it's just me....so I ccan only drive one at a time.... but have to pay for insurance on all of them
I think insurance should cover the driver (based on the most expensive vehicle own) instead of the individual vehicles

This is my 11 year old dog, Babe. She is on her way to the vet right now and it will probably be her last ride. I think she had a stroke, or something like it. She used to love this ornament for some reason and would remember it every year. We used to hang it so she could lay under it. I'm crying dammit.

Thanks fellas, on a different note, after we moved into this house (and had the dog) I found a vaccination certificate for another dog of the same breed also named Babe. I know it's a common dog name but it was pretty cool knowing another dog of the same name lived here before us.

11/27/2011 - I will be adding 159 new entries to the King's Short Works section today. If the server crashes because of awesomeness, I apologize in advance. ;)

[Shannon]

DAMN. IT. After adding tons and tons of images to my Stephen King spreadsheet, I realized that, when I sort, the images don't sort with the rows and columns. Well, that was a big waste of time. Now, I am forced to go with my second option. Not exactly what I had in mind, but it frees up a lot of space by having the image only appearing when I hover over the cell containing the title. Not bad, I think ...

Before I dive headfirst into a lot of King's Short Works entries, I had to ask ... Does/Has anyone here played Plants Vs. Zombies? I'm playing a downloaded version for the computer right now, and I think it is the bee's knees. So much fun. :)

Turkey Enchiladas here, these are so wonderful, the inside is made with salsa and cream chesse with the left over turkey ( I usually use chicken), mmmm good. :)
Mexican is my favorite food group. Fucking epic! I cannot wait!... to be invited to your house for dinner.

[Shannon]

NOT fucking epic.

[Patrick]

There are now 238 entries in the King's Short Works section. My fingers hurt. Hopefully it won't be another few months before I add some more, lol.

[Patrick]

Very impressive, Shannon! Great job!

[biomieg]

Good work! I plan to finally finish the proof entries this week (but that's a lot less work).

You could have put on a link to the actual Pop of King articles online. You're not doing anything else right now are you? :)

[ChristineB]

Patrick, you are welcome anytime, just knock. :)

Don't worry about the Great Dane that may remind you of Cujo when you do knock, she likes to scare the whits out of people that come to the door.

LOL That was great, Patrick!!!!

Yesterday I saw the movie Jack and Jill. Terrible, not funny at all. 1/6 beers.

[DoctorDodge]

A whole beer? Wow, that's higher than my expectations, at least! :P

Only 1 out of six beers.

You should have gone to see "The Immortals". Now that was Fucking Epic!!!!

Exactly: Jack and Jill looked absolutely god awful from the poster alone, never mind the trailer! The whole film? Don't think I could be able to sit through that!

It must have been Mrs. Flagg's idea to go see that one.

[Shannon]

MRT, I was thinking about doing that, but decided against it. I would rather the info on the pages be self-contained rather than link to an outside source. Maybe when I do an index of everything I'll include a link to the website next to the name of the short work.

Hey shannon, i think you did wonderful work on the catalog. Oh, i accidentally deleted it all. Do you think you could repost it? :)

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

It would have been brilliant if we could have hidden all the entries for a day. So evil.

[Brice]

:lol: i think he might cry if we did that.

[Shannon]

lol, thanks and HA so evil. Wouldn't cry though, I'd find my way to Lettiland and cut me up some Bricesteaks.

How do I change my name above my Avatar?

I think it's time, now that everybody knows me as "AKC", that I make the change officially.....

You can't change it, no more than you can change your screen name. Only I (and Patrick, Hannah, Michael and God) can do that. At one time "Gold Members" could change their user title by earning Beam Bucks, but we don't do that anymore.
You can request a one-time name change.

[AKC]

I am requesting a One-Time Screen Name Change.....

Formally: avidkingcollector

Now: AKC

Thanks to SHANNON for giving me this name several, several months ago.....

Make an official request in the
One time name change--titles are by post count (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?907-One-time-name-change-titles-are-by-post-count)
thread and your wish will be granted.

Much like the investments I made in my VCR and digital clock radio, TDT.org provides me many technical functions that I have no real idea how to access.
