I don't have a pop-up, but maybe I can put your great deal into perspective.
Waaay back in 1968, my parents bought a used Coleman pop-up for $800. Can you imagine what $800 was worth back then? And it was a very basic trailer. You cranked it up, pulled out the bunks, and that was it. It was pretty snazzy, though, because our particular model had a hard top and solid screen door. Back in those days, pop-ups were little more than tents with wheels. Of course, the table folded down to another bunk. My dad, who was a carpenter, built three nifty cabinets that held all the cooking gear and clothes and stacked on top of each other. There was electric hookup, but no potty and no stove.
I LOVED the whole camping thing growing up. It was great. By then, I was the last of the children at home, my parents were older, had no money, but still wanted to go and see things. I went to a lot of cool places and really enjoyed the outdoors in that camper.
To this day I enjoy camping. I went more hard-core after my trailer days with my parents. Today, I enjoy backpacking, and sometimes I do that without even a tent!
Enjoy your camper. I think you got a great deal. You've bought more than a pop-up trailer. You've bought yourself a lot of cool trips.
Oh! Do you want to know what happened to our little $800 Coleman Trailer, used, bought in 1968? Well, it was still in great shape when my dad died in 1983. My mom sold it then for $1000. They seem to hold their value!
Happy camping!
I have become a great fan of hers and love
her recipes! Have made several and have not been disappointed. They do get faster to make the second time because then you know what you need and what you are doing. Since she uses a lot of the same things, it is like building on a familiar foundation then. Good thing my DH loves garlic too! My favorite so far is the Messy Gillespie (sloppy Joe). Yummy!
wow! $60 is great. I'd love to pay that
I pay $60 just for the haircut. To blow it out is another $35, and if a flat iron has to be used, then it is another $35!! To cut and color my hair is $150 - without the blowdry!
FOX NEWS IS GREAT. I LOVE
Sheppard Smith. He is great.
I love this show- it's great and I want to go to NYC just to be on it!! nm

Great picture! I love that one!
I can't get my dogs to wear hats or scarves. My dil dresses up her Pug each Halloween. This year, he was Darth Vadar.
LOVE it! Great idea.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Love your solution.
I love TCM. Great movies.
xx
Love it - great ideas
Sounds like all the things I did growing up in girls scouts. Good to bring them back to memory and do them again.
I know, I love my company too. They're great (sm)
but how many years of life can a person spend sitting in front of a computer? I love the flexibility, love not having to go to an office... but get so tired of sitting and typing all day. And here I am typing again...because you guys are the only people who can relate ;-)
I Am Legend looks great. LOVE Will Smith!
I also just bought Licensed to Wed with Robin Williams on DVD. I plan on watching that either tonight or tomorrow night.
Great question...I love polls!
The Office ~ Grey's Anatomy ~ Friday Night Lights (please be back in the fall!) ~ I also have the first 4 seasons of Emergency! on DVD and have watched them over and over. (If I could figure out how to change my avatar, Paul would be replaced with Johnny Gage!) I will also watch Deadliest Catch with DH.
I love your posts Hayseed! Your answers are great!

Limbo. Great song, great game. Also,
The girls all line up and walk through a room as if they are modeling on the catwalk. Get a couple of bright colored boa's from the party store. It's a real riot and the kids have a blast especially if a couple of brave boys grab a boa and do it too. We've had many a birthday party doing this and it was totally hilarious.
Vacuum cleaner works great for me! Love those midair catches.

Great job! Our local paper had a posting that got 75 resumes, including mine! Love

What great determination and help from a great friend! :) nm

I am sure that you are a great mother and a great cook,
and that you tried everything, now try the 'hunger diet'.
I have a great brother like that too! I love my Big Brother!
Enjoy the love!
Great one! Thanks!! nm

That's great!!
A great big congrats to your daughter! She is so fortunate to have such a supportive and helpful family!!
Did he say anything at all about how great a new job for you would be? I'd keep an eye on him as
s
Wow, that's great!
We had always said 3 and that's when we stopped. They are all teenagers now. Wouldn't change a thing either.
That was great.
I'm glad they did that. What fun. Not only was he thin, but his clothes were nice. No jump suit. I preferred his hair when it was his natural brown rather than the black dye job.
That's great - sm
I'm glad I don't need them anymore then! Also check with your state regarding laws about those things. For example, in Florida you are only allowed to borrow 500, in which case I would be weary of anyone offering more. Thanks for the tip - looks like you should be advising me!
Great, thanks!
I listen and take all ideas I can.
My mom did it and it looks great.
She did not fill in the cracks, and it looks great simply painted.
DS, he does a great job.

For her age, I don't think she looks great at all
isn't she around 20? She looks more like 30 and haggard half the time. Oh, and you too can have that body with the cocaine/alcohol-only diet! Get real!
She is such a piece of garbage. But they say her mother is too (was desperate for fame so pushed her daughter into the spotlight) and her dad as well (didn't he just get released from prison)?
Sad.
That's great! Another one sm
I haven't seen Chuck and Larry yet, but will definitely ignore the reviews and see it. I love good comedies.
Another one, if you haven't seen it, is the Wedding Crashers. I thought it was just supposed to be a silly romantic comedy, but my daughter and watched it on cable last weekend and I cannot remember the last time I laughed out loud, spewing drink laughing, in some time. See that movie.
I think it would be a great job (sm)
True they don't pay real high but you are at your kids school, no child care costs, good benefits, and summers off - sounds pretty good to me!!! They are hard to get where I live also though. Best wishes to you!
That was great. Thanks. (nm)

Great Job
There should be more people like you!
They have been a great help to me
in dealing with a similiar situation with a family member. Sometimes you hear things that you don't want to hear but the people in these groups have been in your shoes and they understand what you're going through like no one else.
I got to do this. It was great.
I contacted her because I was going to the 20-year reunion. I couldn't talk her into going, but I did get her to meet me for another trip back home.
There was plenty to talk about. It was great.
Have a great
weekend everybody
Thanks. Those were great! nm

They are not that great...SM
They are great for a while, but then if the DVD player breaks, you are stuck with a TV with a broken DVD player and end up having the buy a whole new DVD player. If the TV breaks, you are stuck with a DVD player that you can't use because the TV part is broken. I would not recommend getting a TV/DVD player combo. I know many people who had had these problems with them. I would buy each component separate so that if one thing breaks, you only have to replace that.
That was great! Thanks. nm
!
Great tip! Thanks!
Thank you for that website. I'm going to check them out. Thanks to everyone for all of your informative posts on this subject. You have all be very, very helpful. I appreciate you!!
That's a great one!...sm
Rhinoceros where stomping out fires (the fire brigade)...We wore the tape out watching it so many times...I suppose it's on DVD by now. Thanks for reminding me of that one!  Cat
This is great!
This is the greatest thing I have seen in a long time. I just cannot stop laughing.  I know I will remember this one for as long as I live! Thank you so much for this holiday memory. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL. (I did not mean to yell, just consider it a loud voice LOL.)
The Others is GREAT!
I saw Rosemary's Baby but not the other ones. Thanks for the suggestions. I am going to get the Mothman Prophecies and THEM! on sale on the DVD club too. One really good and the other a classic. I love sci fi too and got my kids all into star trek. The Borg are the scariest but they love it and so do I. LOL.
LOL. That was great! Thanks, V8. nm

That's great. You should both be
xx
Hi, Kim, that would be great!
Yes, the Casino is one in the same. I've actually never been there if you can believe that. My in-laws go there a lot to gamble. I wish I was in Georgia. I hate snow! My parents live in Utica. Small world.
He is a great looking dog. I really
wished we could hear him talking there when he won.
You are a great mom!!
I understand what you are saying and do agree. I became upset when I read statements such as "weird, sick, "it" - because you know as well as I, people still feel that way about gays. I get so angry that people can be so heartless and cruel when it comes to lifestyles that they feel are not of the norm. You are a great mom and your son is very lucky!! For those who know that someone is gay and have not been told yet - my feeling is they will say something when they are comfortable with it themself. Unfortunately, people are quick to judge how others should live and love - never considering that it does not matter as they are the same person no matter who they love. To come out is a very frightening thing as there are those people you think would be okay with it and they go absolutely bonkers. I commend those of you who are so accepting and nonjudgemental. It still amazes me that this is 2008 and people still act as though gays should be "put away". 
great thanks!
that's what i use so i think i'll give it a try when i can get a line out. thanks!
I have one of those! That would be great! SM
I have a lot of great suggestions from everyone! Thanks to all of you for your help. It can be a real problem and you have all really helped! I bought a spaghetti lifter some years ago. 
Well, that's great for you, and that's your right...
but it is not your right to tell others what their priorities should be, especially when you have minimal insight into their life.
