We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
<3 free ipods
Wow I was JUST thinking as I click the link to this site that they never have any finds in the area I live, I guess I was totally wrong! hahaha.
Tatoo? I love it!
I wonder what's wrong with his wheelbarrow.
What does he have to buy?
I can't read itt.
Getting a free ipod and a tattoo are part of my dad-to-day as well =P
Along with fixing my wheelbarrow. Some lead interesting lives.
stephanie-- he/she has to buy "carhartts"
carhartt is s clothing brand company for farmers and other people that work outside in the cold.. could be referring to jackets or possibly some new boots is my guess..
what i cant read is what is after the free ipod..
someone: after the ipod it reads: "talk to black-haired nice lady". Obviously his/her consultant at the free-ipod-bank. :-)
after ipod they said (talk to blacked hair nice lady)
Do ppl really put tattoo on the things to do list normally?
What kind of tattoo would a farmer get anyway if this person actually was one?
i imagine this is a good ole boy, carhartts are most often pants. a brownish orange color and super thick and sturdy to withstand the snows of maine and any totin' he might have to use his wheelbarrow for. i bet the tire is flat.
he also reminded himself to start a checking account and it looks like grown man writing. i wonder if he's just moving somewhere new and wants to remember things he can do to pass the time or fill the loneliness... workout.. maybe he'll change his image, get haircut or even a tattoo. i did both.
If he is a real farmer he is will have to sell that ipod to afford a tattoo.
Man my chores seem so boring in comparison to those. I wonder if you could tell much about me after reading one of my to do lists...
First of all he is supposed to talk to a 'black-HARED nice lady'. An encounter with a black hare alone is interesting! An encounter with this particular black-hared lady is fascinating! He used the appropriate comma and 'and' but put the last part in parentheses. Why?
I have never ever had to remind myself or be reminded to check the size of an article of clothing I am buying. I think his mom verbally gave him this list of to do's and while she was busy cleaning and rattling things off he wrote everything she said. Is he going to go fix the wheelbarrow AT the hardware store?
He should get his hair cut before going to the bank but before working out and get his tattoo after working out.
Finally, why is 'to do' circled? Then Saturday is underlined before the separation line? 'on' looks so lonely.
It's a good list though. I'm hoping to see the check box list on Found tomorrow! I hope he is a person who completes his tasks in a different order from how they are written otherwise he will be in big trouble.
::shrug:: I see an I in "haired". It's tiny, but it's there.
Hmm...a clean cut, tattooed, music listening, handy, hardworking, muscled guy with a bank account who notices nice black haired ladies... i am a nice lady with black hair, is he single?
Could be a carpenter...we wear carhartts too. They also come in jeans...great durable clothes.
This guy sounds pretty macho. Carhartts and a tattoo? I wonder what he is trying for?
Some bank teller girl probably or financial freedom. Are tattoos a good place to start? He could be trying to GET a job and want to wear carhartts to cover the tattoo. Most likely a construction job. He sounds like the burly type. He should just be himself. No need for alteration, thats just phony.
hotmom, men are stupid. they have to check the sizes of their clothes because they have mor important things to do than remember that, like pick a fantasy football team or (in this guy's case) pick a design for a new tattoo.
you said it uglydaughter...my huz can remember all his fantasy football junk, but he'll call me from the store to see what size underwear he wears. even though he is, presumably, wearing underwear while he's out. oh, and he's a carpenter who loves his carhartts shirts.
That list blows my Saturday "to Do" away! I have got to GET a life! :)
WHAT A SUCKER. I WOULD NOT GET ALONG WITH THIS GUY
Hmmmmm... the tattoo may be last on his list, but I can't help wondering what the design might be.
my saturday to do list:
1.clean bathroom.
2.clean bedroom.
3.go to work.
the only interesting thing about today for me is this chocolate cake i'm eating.
i might throw some random "to do" item at the end of my list with a question mark.. doesn't mean i have to do it, just something to potentially spice things up a bit.
4.salsa dancing?
saturday:
1)get off the computer
2)shower
3)learn to park
Audrey,
That's an admirable list. I wish more people would learn to park.
hotmom, you're on to something. this list, espesh the first item, has a lot of details. like, if dude needed to start a checking account in order to get an ipod, he could have written ' -bank.ipod ' to trigger a reminder for himself. but thems a lot of details!
and love the idea of having to write yourself a WRITTEN reminder to check the size of your pants before buying them. yikes!
Maybe the carhartts are for someone else? Maybe he's not a farmer/carpenter.
If not obsessing over your size is stupid, Lord please make me stupid!
I think what he meant by "check size beforehand" was he needed to check the size of pants he bought before so he does not do what i do and try to check the size of the pants i am wearing while they are still on me.
Wait... that came out all wrong...
SALT in the SEA: Tell me now, who would you get along with?
I love it! If it is a farmer - it's a pretty hip and different mental picture of one imo. He's wearing the gear...but he also works out (separate from the hard work on the farm), has an iPod (listening to his fave tunes like what I wonder?), and he's getting a tattoo. I wonder if the tattoo is 'farm' related? Or is it w/the names of his kids? Or perhaps his personal nickname for himself?
I love the fact that this is ALL put down on a very organized list too.
Haircut? Some of my worst mistakes in life have been haircuts.....
Carhartt's are work clothes-heavy canvas material; many people wear them in the trades, but they were/are also popular in some more urban areas; Carhartts tend to run slim and small-so you have to check size
Carhartts are wicked popular up here in Maine amongst the working types, outdoorsmen, garnolas, hippies, and other such earthy, hard working, laid-back type people.
I own three pairs of Carhartt pants myself.
Oh yeah, and the out-of-staters love to wear them; it makes them think they are one of us ;-)
I think he might be buying the clothes for someone else, or he has lost weight from working out and doesn't know what his size is anymore.
ahahah everyone in my town has carhartts. there aren't as many tattoos, though.
This seems to be a nice well rounded young man !
i think it's cute that he reminded himself to check the size first...he's obviously grabbed things without looking at sizes and had to deal with returning them....and carhartts are way cool round here too (outer banks of north carolina) - we're full of earthy, hard-working, laid-back folks.
a tattoo doesn't seem list worthy - too heavy a decision (and yet so passe at this point too, eh?)
in canada there is a bank called TD canada trust and they give out free ipods if you open or switch over a checking account from another institution but we spell checking like chequing so i don't know...
Dang! I used to bank at TD! That makes me kinda sad. They didn't give me an iPod. Or a free tattoo for that matter.
I think that he is working on his sleeve. "Get a tattoo" is too casual. When I saw that it is because I have a place planned out to finish something that is already in the works.
i wonder if he ever got that tattoo.
lola, he got the tattoo. It was a very tribal-looking wheelbarrow.
my saturday to do list:
. Let dog out
. Feed dog
. Feed bunny
. get something to eat
. watch tv
. go to bed
wow, mine's pretty lame compared to his. perhaps i need to move to maine for some adventure.
SALT - I have a hard time believing there is anyone walking this blue-green globe that you would get along with. You might have better luck on another planet.
Cheeseburger, you actually make him sound SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't like the part, get free i-pod. Is he purposely opening a checking account to get a free i-pod? How cheap. I wouldn't date him, no matter how sexy he was. Your's truly, Maria.
*wake up
*let dogs in
*clean up house after dogs run through house
*continue
Sigh.... not very interesting....
My bank should give away stuff.... all we "give away" are overdraft fees... not as cool by comparison...
This makes perfect sense to me, because this exact note coulda been written by my brother six months ago.
he needed cartharts because he worked in a meat locker and rode his bike to work in the winter.
he worked out a lot (now he's a personal trainer)
he's got these elaborate tatoos that take multiple sessions of coloring to get done so he'd just stop in for some work on it whenever he had a chance (thus the ?).
he cuts his own hair so (like the tatoo) it's something that can or cannot be done spontaneously.
he needed an ipod cuz they don't skip when you're working out or riding bike or lugging dead animals around, but didn't want to waste money buying one.
he likes nice ladies with dark hair.
Couldn't it be a farm tattoo? I don't mean a farm-themed tattoo for the person writing the to-do list, I mean an identification tattoo like they put on cattle. Maybe he needs to DO some tattooing, not GET a tattoo?
hi, i've read through the coments, can't believe noone else thought this might be a woman speaking , yeah carhart is workwear, but it s been hip for a while , girls like em baggy n loose, jeans n cargoes, 'check size', 'haircut', 'tattoo'?,
i wanna say that the double kneed carhartts are possibly the best pants in the world. those things are tough. and made from dinosaur bones.
The writing's a dead-ringer for my 19YO son's penmanship. Sounds like he had quite a full day ahead of him!
I think that this is a list my boyfriend made this summer! He is always making rediculous list like once on a memo pad he had a list and one of the things was "buy plane ticket to Denmark"
I love the use of carhartts in the list.. if they dont make fun of us mainers already! :) hahaah
i go through phases, and maybe this person is getting started on a phase too, hence the haircut, tattoo, and maybe working out, too...or maybe the nice lady with black hair likes muscle-y guys with short hair and tattoos.
i also like the way 'saturday' is underlined. like, not just things to do, but on SATURDAY.
he always was a list maker...he wears a Large
You should get the tattoo, take away the ? and just get one. I have lots.
*I honeslty thought it said "Go to Hardcore store...." I was trying to figure out if he meant music or a little something frisky, but then I kept reading and thought "I'm an idiot".
I want to open an account at his bank...free ipods!
This is SUCH a Maine list. Ha ha ha. I love it.
I can see the guy right now hoeing in his big vegetable garden: Carharts, wool sweater, scruffy hair, one shoulder tattoo.
You know his parents paid for him to go to Brown. And now he is going back to the land in Bowdoinham. He probably grows and grinds his own quinoa flour.
