Anyone here ever gone window shopping for windows?

Yes of course! But I can't be flying you all the way over here at a whim now can I?I had little choice but to try and source my own Purple Poo Pixies to fill the void! What a monumental failure THAT became! Thank God for Barbie.....

I dont think I've ever been flown at a whim.... - you could've, because I dont have to be in work till Tuesday lunchtime but I certainly couldn't compete with Barbie (Though I wouldn't want to be her with that Ken....)

But James..... surely you realise that I AM a Purple Poo Pixie!!! (Well, more of a lilac but that doesn't alliterate & there is the purple in my hair.... not purple poo of course, not thus far anyway)

Hi sandymay Cool! I now have several people that've actually done this! lol. I'm yet to experience the true joys of window shopping for windows myself, but it's on my "bucket list". I tell you what though, you've certainly upped the ante with the window hunting angle! Now THIS sounds like fun! I'd love to hunt windows. What on earth would you use as camouflage wear so you can sneak up on 'em?

No, no problem with lentils..now if you'd said beets..now that would be a problem..I am with beets like you are with rhubarb.. So you have a bucket list? Things you want to do and accomplish before you meet your maker? Now that would be a good discussion..titled. What's on your bucket list? So what's on your list of top ten things to do before you bite the dust, fall off your perch, give up the ghost, pop your clogs, or you guessed it, "kick the bucket"? 1. Run away for a day and join the circus. 2. Take a trip on the Orient Express. 3. Walk on water. 4. Build a tree fort with all the accessories. 5. Write a letter to everyone whom I love. 6. Visit the North Pole and see Santa's workshop. 7. Name a star. 8. Talk to a politician in Pig Latin. 9. Be in two places at once. 10. Compose a song. I found this list at a a website about a bucket list.

Yep, lentils! You got a problem with lentils??? lol. Your Hub's being a carpenter means he gets to window shop for windows all the time then! Lucky fellow! I'd probably start looking online at first too if I needed new windows, but at some stage I'd wanna get on out there and windiw shop for windows as well. I just want to be able to say that I've done it!

Now THAT'S a bucket list! Personally I decided to start with a lunchbox list and then work my way up to a bucket list once I get more savvy with the concept. I have just the one item on the lunchbox list so far..... 1. Survive today! So far so good.....

You went to Richard's thing? Lucky Richard! Oh hang on, I completely misread that line..... New windows and THEN you move? Dare to be different yes? At least you can put "have window shopped for windows" on your CV now.

I've interviewed countless people before and I'd certainly be impressed if I saw that on a CV! Cancels out an MBA I reckon.

Richard wishes... Yes and what an exciting addition to the resume it is too!

Perfect! I never considered the basebal bat as a suitable window shopping for windows accessory! I suppose a slingshot would be just as effective too yes? At least one of these would fit neatly into a carry bag! I wonder if Window Salespeople are transparent in the way they deal with prospective customers?

They probably seem pretty transparent. At least until you look at them closely under the light. Then you realize that they only see things one way.

lol. It's not really want you want in a window salesperson is it? I'd want someone with a bit of flair. Someone with a stained glass type of personality and all vibrant and alive! I'd much prefer to buy my windows from someone like that.

Shhhhht, James! I can't have any competition of you standard! . Unless you are looking for stocks, we can share the community if you are willing to put in some of your super duper inane powers .

Consider it done! Super duper inanity rays are being transported from my brain into the universe as we speak. Try not to stand too close to a poodle though 'cos yappy dogs sap the power!

It sounds like fun doesn't it! Door shopping for doors just sounds stupid really, so it's far better to focus on windows anyway. Then again, I suppose you could go door-to-door looking at doors yes? How are the membership levels in that select group of yours going by the way? Is it still just you or did someone else finally show up?

ok,here goes,but remember curiosity killed........................i was thinking of some nutritious food to give to my kids and lentils popped in my mind!you have high-lighted one of the specialities of us ladies-to ignore the unwanted otherwise how do you think we put up with men{joking}

It's a specialty is it? I would've thought it to be more of a survival instinct? So you;re thinking of feeding the kids lentils are you? Have they threatened to leave home yet?

Heya Mable! Why were you thinking of lentils recently then? Of course window shopping for windows sounds delightful 'cos the word "shopping" is in there! I'd be surprised if most women even noticed any of the other words?

That's the way of theworld James...

So the entire world is against windows now? How sad.

I'm wearing my clown clothes right now actually! I find that this costume relaxes me and especially when I'm daydreaming about window shopping for windows! I think the window accessories get ALL the attention and it's quite biased when you think about it. It's the window that forms the foundation for all that crap, but it rarely gets the limelight. Viva la windows!

What happened to the other half then? lol. I have mixed emotions here actually. Part of me is thinking how wonderful it must be to live in an Old Victorian style house, yet the other part of me is saddened that you were unable to experience the undoubtable joys of window shopping for windows! So you called a company and they came over with windows? Me, I just order pizza!

Ah, so you're a mix-and-matcher? Marvellous! It adds character I reckon! I'm happy to see that pizza entered into the equation too. Pizza goes with pretty much any occasion I reckon and new "old" windows for half the house is as good an occasion as any! When you end up doing the second half of the house, you'll get to order more pizza as well. Everybody wins!

LOL the other half are still the old ones.i have over 30,couldn't afford to do but the worst first.(so bad,the lock was holding them together) pretty much,after they measured them out. ..and then we ordered pizza.

Chick peas? I think this is what lentils wanna be when they grow up! So we finally have someone that's been window shopping for windows before! Here he comes to save the daaaaaaaaaaaaaay, Mr Pike is on his waaaaaaaaaaaaaay...... You didn't happen to stumble across anything windowy in the style of Provincial Italy meets Clockwork Orange did you?

"Fava, Fava is that you? Muva, is that man my Fava?" (I overheard this line from a street play being performed by a group of Lima Beans outside a train station in Peru)

Even window shopping for actual windows has gone out of style too? How terrible! We're all affected by the economic downturn globally, but I never thought that the windows would end up feeling the pinch as well. They must feel very much unloved at the moment.

Good morning James! Someone here on the lot told me the other day that I was from the wrong country to use sarcasm. I wonder which country they thought had the right?

Heya Sandra! Sorry for the late reply, but I've been traveling for work..... I agree with you that window shopping for windows can be a life changing experience and I'm imoressed that you're able to look deep into the essence of something like this. The psychological ramifications are far more serious than people realise too, yes! I can see Freudians in the future asking - "So, tell me about your windows....." rather than asking about the patients Mother and that's a horrifying thought! I wonder what the average therapy hours per week are for a Windows Sales Rep?

Yes, I do agree with the points you've raised here Sandra and from what I've been able to ascertain so far about desirable Window Sales Rep traits, the number one requirement is transparency in all they do. I believe they receive their first cloth when they graduate from Window Selling College and their cloth becomes smaller for every year they serve in the industry. If you ever go window shopping for windows, seek out the rep with a postage stamp sized microfibre cloth 'cos they're likely to be the most experienced.

Hello, James. Window therapy is of course in its infancy, so we can only speculate as to the future. Personally, I can see that the reps must have a clear perspective on what they're selling - otherwise, they'd need a microfibre cloth, wouldn't they?

This sounds like a bizarre alternative to "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck....." Yes, I would if I could, but the question is if I should? Turnips!

Hahahahahahahahaha yes, I psychicly knew you had and wrote this discussion just for YOU! LMAO t's pretty impressive that you managed to get a door into the mix as well. I'm all for diversity! Hang on, you didn't see any front door's with little windows in 'em did you? I love those!
