Oh my goodness
I'd be so embarrassed to admit I was afraid of a chicken!
He doesn't even look that mean, probably just enjoys terrorising the wimp

Can't believe he expects anyone to buy it , he,ll not even give it away with that advert unless
He's selling it to fight?

I just received a SMS that informed me that I had won some sort of Euro Lotto thing, and was about to receive 950.000.000 GBP. All I would have needed to do, is send my personal information to an AOL e-mail address. I mean come on, that's the budget of a small country.

I got something similar only I was to send a few hundred dollars to a courier service and my money would be delivered to my doorstep.

There was a company (the name escapes me right now) that took $78.16 out of our account. We researched it because neither my husband or I made any purchases for that amount. We researched the company that made the withdrawal and found out they were a fraudulent and not legit. We also found out that they had scammed a lot of people. The scam artist would take an amount out like the $78.16 at first and if it seem to go undetected and not reported they would increase the amount and the next time they would take out $149.17. It was always the same amounts out of different peoples bank accounts. We tried to get our money back but couldn't. The address the company provided was non existent. I had an email message one time supposedly from eBay asking for my bank account information including my bank account password to update my account. I contacted eBay and they said I needed to report it to their fraud department as they never ask for personal banking information. There are a lot of scams out in the world that would rather work at scamming other people than getting a real job. My hard drive on my computer crashed awhile back and that scamming companies information may have been lost when my HD crashed. I will look more to see if I can located the name they were using.

From the local paper:

Yard Sale
Kitchen items, Bed with full size mattress, Chester draws, Kids and adult clothes, Some kids toys



I've always heard people call it that as a joke. I didn't know some people actually thought a chest of drawers was called a "Chester Draws".

Chester drawers actually an that is what it is called here. That or dresser. Usually people call the tall ones chester drawers an the short, long ones dressers. I have never heard a local call it a chest of drawers. I think Chester Drawers is actually a brand name of a dresser. Its so widely used that you can search that term at walmart.com, k-mart.com, google or anywhere else an the right item shows up in the searches.

when I googled it, it said it was a spelling and pronunctiation problem....K-mart will come up on ANY mechandise search..weather they carry the item or not....same for Wal Mart. Each item that came up on "Chester Draws" search had the correction to "chest of Drawers" or "AKA Chest of Drawers"....
