We were watching Dick Clarks New years eve & I said to my hubby how much you want to bet that there will be people catching that confetti & selling it on Ebay.....LOL! Sure enough there is....
Thing is I probably would of done the same thing if I was there.
I told my hubby that next yr I want to be there for New Yrs Eve. We live only 90 mins from New York city. We have taken the train there a few times & we love it.

That's wild.
Did you know that the day before they had to practice throwing confetti out the windows then clean it all up. I about choked when I saw that on the news - confetti tossing practice?? Now there's a profession to tell the grandkidlettes about.

How do you know if its really from there? I wouldn't think that confetti is something you could prove.
I was talking to my brother and sister yesterday on the phone about ebay and my sister/brother said people would buy anything off ebay and my reply was people will sell anything on ebay...lol.The more you complain, the longer God makes you live.

LOVELAND, Colo. - Call it a winter sale. Jim and Mary Walker are selling snow on eBay. Starting bids were holding steady Friday at 99 cents for samples from "Blizzard I and Blizzard II."
The Walkers got the idea for selling snow after shoveling mounds from two storms a week apart that together dumped more than 4 feet along the Front Range.
"I figured eBay has ghosts and all sorts of weird stuff, so why not snow?" said Mary Walker, who teaches business workshops on employee communications.
How much snow 99 cents or whatever the winning bid gets depends. Walker's auction notice suggests avoiding shipping and handling charges by stopping by their home and picking it up — in a dump truck.
Only 10 offerings of snow are available and the proceeds are earmarked for a used snowblower for Jim or a pair of shovels.
She says she doesn't really expect to find a buyer for their blizzard overstock.
"We just wanted to just give some folks a laugh," she said.Sign up today for work in your area! Mercantile Systems, Inc.

I don't think Tom has tumbleweeds in N. Kansas. If he does he can make a bundle of money. Originally Posted by tracey74

Bid is up to $20.50 and that is just crazy!
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Distance and time may separate us but friendship and memories won't.
