Because It’s There
There’s no better reason to buy something than because it’s there. It’s sort of the Mount Everest law of garage sales.
Debbie Adams’ Wombie family posed for this new family portrait soon after her husband Mitch adopted Shadow, a young Wombie who likes to fish. Their Wombie family is now one of the biggest around with five Wombies to take care of.
Impulse buying is why I own a Lava Lamp 🙁
what’s your excuse for that singing fish, loon ? 😆
Maybe Loon likes to sing with the fishes.
Hey, you leave my singing trout alone. It sings very nicely 🙂
Maybe you should get some more
singing trout and start up a choir 🙂
Fish songs! I bet they’d be hits!
If I didn’t know you better I would think that there was an anagram on your last word but no, hits it is Winky and I agree let’s get the fishy choir together real soon 🙂 I hope Twink doesn’t see what I thought or I might be in trouble? 🙁
I don’t know what you mean, but I think fish songs could be really popular. Maybe we could even have a fish radio station and play them under water!
Yes I think that the fish would prefer the songs being sung under water, and we can use some scuba gear when we join them 🙂
Can I join you guys? That sounds like fun!
lol a singing trout choir.. oh dream come true lol
They could tour in a big aquarium!
maybe later we could expand
and do some jolly shark songs 🙂
Maybe Sharky could sing those!
I see you have pipped me to the post again Loon 🙁 Grrrrr 😉 lol Be wicked and good today or else? 😉 xxxx
I have a Lava Lamp, too!
Lava lamps are good around volcano’s 🙂
Mine’s the non-volcano kind!
Everyone’s rubbish is another persons treasure and Winky has found his dream light-stand 🙂 I think he loves it already 🙂
I do! No one else has anything like it!
Umm add a few booster rockets and it’s to the moon Winky.
Do you want to come with us Loon? 🙂 xxxx
Who wouldn’t want to take a rocket trip with us?
Yes a silly question that, I bet Loon has already packed her suitcase and is at this very moment boarding the rocket ship 🙂 It is finished and ready to blast off isn’t it? 🙂
Well not really. I couldn’t get any rockets from Binky. Maybe I should look on ebay.
I hope Soma packed enough clothes, it could be a long wait sitting around a half built rocket 🙁 Never mind there are plenty of pancakes and wine gums to keep her company so I think that she won’t mind waiting 🙂
Yeah, at least we won’t starve! Binky can be pretty slow sometimes making his rockets.
Do you think that’d work? I’ll see if Binky has any spare rockets he’ll give us.
Hey that’s a whacky new image for me 🙂 lol
Hmm… I think a glitch, I added a comment before that one and it had a funny cartoon character thingy instead of my photo 🙂 lol
My comment has disappeared too soooo I will say it again, I think that Winky has found his dream light-stand, I mean after all everyone’s rubbish is another persons treasure and Winky has found his today 🙂 Yay
Your comment went to moderation because there was a typo in your email address (so it didn’t recognize you). I fixed it.
Thank you Peter I think my keyboard must be a Russian / Taiwan combo as I am always adding typos 🙁 lol
Keyboards often have a mind of their own. Maybe they’re plotting against us.
It’s a conspiracy 🙁 lol
Unplug those keyboards!
Aaaaaaargh 🙁
Deb’s Wombie family looks awesome 🙂
They’re a very happy bunch of Wombies!
I spoil them! 🙂
You certainly do! And my Wombies, too!
It’s a lot of fun too! 🙂
It’s fun for us too!
Thank you, Andro! 🙂
xxx
Hahaha… it sounds like Twink was a bigger fan of ‘there’ than ‘here’?
Twink never appreciates my taste in junk! I mean good stuff.
I end up with so much junk this way. :/
It’s hard to resist good junk!
What’s the issue – Everybody needs one of those! W.C.C.
I certainly needed one!
If you find another then you can have a matching pair 🙂 I wonder what Twink will make of that scenario? 🙂
I don’t care! Just don’t tell Twink that.
Okay I won’t, now let’s have a few of these freshly made pancakes, do you fancy chocolate chip syrup with figs and kiwi surprise or would you prefer the more traditional maple one? 🙂
I’m not sure about figs and kiwis. I think I’d like M&Ms and wine gums better!
Andro yum suggestion,no matter what one buys ,we should always have pancakes
You can never go wrong with pancakes!
You’re right Soma let’s dish out the freshly made pancakes and then we can start on Winky’s M&M’s I love those peanut one’s the best 🙂
They’re good inside pancakes, too!
It’s nice to have things that other people don’t have for you place, Winky And this lamp will look really cool in your chocolate cabin…if you haven’t eaten it yet, that is. 😉 🙂
It will! And then Twink won’t have to look at my great lamp.
See that. Isn’t is great to have your own place?
It sure is! And it’s all thanks to aunt Deb!
And it’s fun too! 🙂
You should come over to my cabin to have one of my super-special chocolate-fudge souffle!
I’m on my way, Winky!
I’ll fix us milkshake too when I get there. 🙂
That’ll be great!
And so will your chocolate-fudge souffle! 🙂
I think you’ll like it!
Just had some….Mmmm! I hope you make more soon! 🙂
I’ll make some more for tonight!
I hope a lot more. I want to bring some home for my private stash. 😉
I’ll make as big a batch as I can fit into my oven! Maybe I’ll make two batches. One to eat, and one for you to take home!
I’ll be over to pick it up shortly….thanks Winky! 🙂
And I’ll bring you 5 gallons of chocolate ice cream for a late night snack. 🙂
Five gallons? I could take a bath in that! But I won’t. I learned my lesson with the toothpaste.
Good. I don’t think you want to get all sticky or you’ll have to take a real bath.
But I’d smell all chocolatey! Well I guess I already do.
That’a portrait of my babies…I adore each and every one of them! And Shadow was a very welcomed addition to the family by all!…thank you for posting them! 🙂 And thank you for adopting them out to us! 🙂
You’re welcome, Deb. I don’t think there’s a better home for the Wombies to go to.
Aunt Deb has the most wombies 🙂
I like shadow the most
Aunt Deb has one of the biggest Wombie families! And they’re very lucky to have her as their mommy.
Lately I’ve been pretty lucky with Fraz’s beach house right across the road…they spend a lot of time over there. Except Shadow…he takes off fishing with his Dad all the time.
They’re like my second family! Better because they don’t yell at me!
Heck no, I would yell at you, Fraz!
I know you wouldn’t Dink!
Your the closest relative I have next to my brother and sisters. And I like to go pirating too, so I wouldn’t yell at you either…well I wouldn’t anyway!
We need to go pirating this weekend!
I wouldn’t yell at you either, Fraz!
I know you wouldn’t either!
I wouldn’t yell at you either Fraz 🙂 Twinnies never yell at each other especially when they have their mouths full of chocolate 🙂
Om, nom, nom, nom…My mouths full of chocolate right now, and I bet Fraz’s is too!
My mouth is almost always full!
Mine too. I always got to wipe off the chocolate drool from the corner of my mouth.
You should lick it off so you don’t waste it!
No we never fight! And we always have our mouths full!
Yes wine gums today and
marshmallows tomorrow 🙂
Mmmmm
And don’t forget fudge on Fridays!
And shakes on Saturdays!
And chocolate-fudge souffles on Sundays!
I can’t wait till Sunday! 🙂
I can’t wait till every day!
Today is Doughnut Thursday!
And I brought super googy, chocolate filled yummy ones! And two gallons of chocolate milk!
I bet doughnuts and milk would make a super-thick milkshake!
Let start mixing!
Okay! I think we should add some fudge, though.
Heck, I’d yell with you, not at you. 😉
We could have a yelling contest to see who could yell the loudest!
That would be fun. Whoever yells the loudest get a super special chocolate treat!
OK you’re on!
Arghhhh! Aiyeee!
CHOCOLATE!!!!
I yelled because I had a Chocofish on my line and I got it!
But you win for sure! So you get to have my Chocofish…It’s a big one too!
Really? Yay!!
We can both eat your chocofish together!
Wow, thanks Fraz, and this weekend your coming fishing with me and dad. You can sleep in one of the bunks too!
Oh boy! I’ve never caught a chocofish before!
Those are fun to catch. And they don’t come out of the water all slimy either. And their so good.
Dad said we can take the nets and catch a whole bunch of them to send to Winky for his factory too!
That’ll be fun! I want to spend the whole weekend fishing! And eating!
Ready to go fishing now, Fraz?…I got Shadow in the truck with me!
You bet! I wanna learn fishing from the pros!
Well you did great on your first day! You caught more fish than I did!…Way to go!
We’ll be heading down to the Avon Pier today…I hear the Choco-Fish are running there today!
I think maybe yesterday you didn’t really try. But it was a great fishing day! I bet today will be even better!
That because I was concentrating on making sure you had a great day of fishing!
I’ll catch mine today, but not Choco-fish. Those are for you and Shadow to catch…I’m looking for puppy drum and puffers….Good eating!
I did have a great fishing day! The best fishing day ever! I like to watch you catch those kind of fish. But I like eating chocofish way better!
Then I guess you had a whale of a time watching me then. I caught a big one, well in my mind, but didn’t that smile and far away look look good on me?
Today, we go back out there for only 2 hours, then we head home.
Deb, Tink and Cookie are rustling up stuff for a great bbq tonight.
That was a big fish! Maybe it was a shark! Well I guess you would know. More fishing is good! But eating’s good too!
Well I’d yell at you if you left your dirty plate on the table and made a mess in the bathroom…Twink and I made a deal. 😉 🙂
Oh-oh!
I think I’d like to rephrase that. I’d just remind you all the time not to leave a mess for someone else to pick up when it’s yours to begin with…but I would raise my voice at you….that wouldn’t be very nice. 🙂
I need to build a robot that’d clean up after me so I wouldn’t have to!
I found one for you today. She works for free and never talks back. See for yourself on your property list…
http://adamsart.wordpress.com/2013/03/15/fraz-has-a-new-beach-house/
Now Tink will have no cause to correct you about anything…you can all just have fun! 🙂
She was really good at first. But I didn’t want to tell you she quit!
That because I didn’t hire her. She must have wandered in off the street and said I did.
The one you see on your list I just found for you so I modified your list.
Check your property list from time to time. When I find you things I think you’ll like I add them to your list.
She’s new?? Yay! I hope this one stays longer! I think the last maid just wanted my chocolate!
Oh no! That would be a problem!
It was! But the new maid you got me is good!
That’s good to know. 😉 Maybe you could send her across the road to my place once a week…I could use the help.
OK! She loves to clean. I think there’s something wrong with her.
Yes, she is infected with the excessive cleaning virus..that’s why she’s a maid.
That must be it! I hope it isn’t catching!
No, only if you want it to be.
I don’t want the cleaning virus!
Just go into another room when she’s working so her behavior don’t rub off on you.
OK! I like to avoid people when they’re cleaning anyway!
Shadow is a welcomed addition to our family, and love them all.
You certainly treat them
to everything Deb 🙂 xxxx
Thanks Andro…I do what I can to care for them nicely. 🙂
xxx
Your Wombie family certainly won’t be without love and care. And all the milkshakes and pancakes they can eat.
I do my best. One of these days I’ll get an automatic pancake machine like Twink. 🙂
You can borrow my pancake machine any time you want. Though you might have to sneak it out so the boys won’t see you.
This sounds like a job for one of my Wombie boys to do for me then.
I’ll return it by Friday morning….I know you need it for the weekends.
It does get a workout most weekends!
I’m sure it does, Twink. 😉 🙂 I’m surprised it didn’t burn up by now from working so hard! 🙂
You obviously made it with extra-tough Wombie-tested parts!
Binky knows all the best parts to use 🙂
He does, but it was Deb who gave us the Automatic Pancake Maker.
Maybe you could ask Binky to send the pancake maker through his cloning scanning device so I could have one too.
That would be an excellent idea! I’ll get Binky to make some clones of it tonight.
Great, just have him ship it to my place through Winky. He always ships to me for free.
Thank you, Twink…Your a life saver!
Now I’ll have free time on the weekends again!
Every chef could use an Automatic Pancake Maker in his or her kitchen.
Scan, clone, then market them. 🙂 You’ll be rich!
Pancake makers for everyone!
In that case I’ll take two. One for her, and one for home. Would that be okay, Twink?
Sure, that’s fine. You deserve two. You have a large Wombie family to keep fed.
With Deb and Binky around we have an endless supply of goodies to look forward to 🙂 Yaaaaay
Homemade Dairy Queen Blizzard’s for everyone!
Yay!!
Bwahahahahahahaha. I’ve done this more than I want to admit.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
Sometimes those unique items are pretty compelling.
Hey! I like that lamp… I need to get one of those!
If I see another one, I’ll get it for you!
Cool looking thing, Wink…whatever that is 😉
It’s a crazy modern art space lamp!
a Space Lamp? Mommy might like it, she is a crazy Whovian .. tho she might like it more if the shape is like a blue police box.
That would make an interesting light! And it’d be even better if it was a time travel machine!
Impulse buying is terrible. I don’t buy it “because it’s there”…my usual excuse is “because it was on sale!” 🙂
If it’s on sale, it has to be good!
Or it’s so terrible that the store is willing to take a loss just to get rid of it!
That’s what Twink said about my lamp!
And it was cheap!!!
Cheap means you can buy more of them!
And talking about cheap, have you paid up for my previous post?
I like it.
http://joycelansky.blogspot.com
You have good taste!
Yea I have a room filled stuff like that.
You must be a good shopper like me!
I need one!
Everyone does! They just don’t know it!
Oh… Thanks for telling me. Otherwise I wouldn’t know!!! We need to be informed consumerists.
I hope you like your new lamp!
Ah, impulse buying. This is why I have too many wordpress plugins from Theme Forest.
Luckily, you can never have too many great lamps!
Unless you run out of plugins… well, one could buy unending power strips to plugin all those lamps.
I’m sure that’s not dangerous at all 🙂
The more power strips you have, the more free power you get!
Your type of thinking is very electrifying. I don’t know how you don’t blow a circuit. 🙂
I don’t know. But Binky sometimes says I’m a low watt light.
Winky must be a compulsive impulse buyer 😯
That’s the only way to shop!
Impulse buying does have its perks. 🙂
Yeah, like this great lamp I got!
Winky would love shopping with my wife…that is if they didn’t wind up fighting over the weird stuff.
Your wife has good taste. Weird stuff is good!
Yeah! I had to have it. It had a price tag on it, didn’t it? 🙂
Yep! And it was a bargain!
ah yes, impulse buying, Winky, I never do it… (erm… why is my nose growing longer? 😉 ) xPenx
I only do it when I have to! Which is kind of a lot.
Hiiiiiii! 🙂 Missing you, guys!
Nice to see you here, Cha! We miss you, too, but know you’re busy. You should be just about finished for the year, shouldn’t you?
I came, I saw. I had to have it.
You can’t resist something as great as that!
It’s crazy, but pretty nice 😉
Sorry for being absent for so long. I missed Wombanians 🙂
We missed you, too, Sabina. Hope everything is good.
Don’t worry Sabina we have lots of new pancake recipes for you to try, starting with this one, how do you fancy a prune and marmite with added chocolate sauce? 🙂
You can’t do that to my scrumptious pancakes! Well, you can to your own, if that’s how you like them.
I don’t think I would like those…No, I’m certain.
I think that Andro needs to be served one of your pancakes to come to his pancakes senses again. 🙂 🙂
I’ll serve him up some nice chocolate strawberry maple fudge pancakes. That should do the trick!
Mmmm. If that don’t work, then I don’t know what would!
If Andro doesn’t want them, I’ll eat them!
Yes, well I hope you share some of those scrumptious pancakes with me if he doesn’t…Twinks are the best!
There’s enough pancakes for both of us. And maybe even Winky, too!
If there isn’t then we’ll share what we have have with him.
He might be full of those cakes you baked for him!
Thank you Twink I love strawberry one’s 🙂
I have some more waiting for you, Andro!
Don’t ever serve me one of those…lol
I was wondering, do you wombies go to flea markets?
Yeah, but I’ve never gotten any fleas there, if that’s what you’re asking.
Well someone had to buy it,why not Winky?
I think it had my name on it!
Looks like a handy gadget. I bet it is a portable time machine
If it is I haven’t figured out to work it yet!
I do that with skincare products! Otherwise..I’m not a very good shopper..I just buy what I need and am out of there!
I like getting a bargain! Especially when no one else wants it!
Looks sweet. I’m a bit envious of the purchase.
I think you may be the only one!
