Greg, i always thought that BJ auctions were waaay overpriced. people get caught up in the hype. I haven't seen them in a while but i think they may have tacked on a "buyer's commission" too. I've seen a lot of good deals at the smaller auctions in places like Harrisburg and Florida

It has to be really really hot for me to wear shorts. I have really skinny legs with no meat on them. I swear that if the wind blows, i feel it on my leg bones. It's going to be even worse since I lost 40+ lbs.
