WildflowerNJ 136 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 Trying to think of something....offhand, maybe the property to the side of us. We bought this acre and a half and the property (more than an acre) was for sale, too. We were so caught up in this place that time went by and then it was sold...

nurktwin 2,143 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 I remember a time way back when I made my 1st trip to NYC. I was only 16 and you had to be 18 at that time to drink in NYC, so I borrowed my friends ID (draft card back then). I spent a week there at a cheap hotel called "The Manhatten Hotel" (gone now). Across the street was a deli or small grocery store that had Italian lunch meats, and that's basically all I ate for that week!!!!! After going on a shopping spree and spending most of my money on clothes, I walked down from Times Square to 48th Street and turned left. Right on the corner were 3 music shops, Manny's, Sam Ash and another. In the front window of Manny's was a double neck RIC 6/12 string in black with white binding. I fell in love and went in to buy it, but it was $480 and I was down to $200 after my shopping spree for clothes! I'm still pissed til this day I never got that RIC. There is a pix of it here at the Farm with TP playing the same model. I wonder some time if that guitar I wanted is now in the hands of Tom Petty? That's my story and I sticking to it!!!!!!!

Amber 70 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 ^As you should Nurk! I can't think of anything I didn't buy that I should have. Now things I should have said and didn't OR should have done and didn't OR shouldn't have done and DID.........well that could take chapters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoldenRose 18 Report post Posted May 15, 2013 Most of the things I wish I bought tend to be the things I couldn't afford anyway! I did have my eye on a zither I saw in an antiques shop a few years ago. I doubt I'll regret it forever but I have regretted not buying it these last couple of years.
