Sunny day here in Indy. I am going to get our tomato plants then DD is going to help DH plant them.
cedar 6---- Thanks for the update.

Looks like we’ll have a bright sunny day here in Indy, Probably everybody is busy with gardening and spring chores.
I am snookered. Probably won’t do much for the rest of the day. I had been gathering stuff for my kids-grandkids to sell at their rummage sale this week end. They picked it up early this morning. I am glad to have that stuff out of the house .
Maybe I’ll get some clothing pics late this afternoon. The area for doing clothing pics is on the west side of the house.

@cedar Just happened to pop in to the board. So sorry to hear your bad news. Please give yourself the best care possible and let us know how you are wen you feel up to it.

Judy and others, Our Christmas is slowly coming together. Eldest DGD will be arrive from North Carolina on Sunday. She has done quite a lot of shopping for me. And will do more after she gets here.
I'm dealing with a very painful back problem but very thankful that I have no pain when in bed or on full tilt back in my recliner. I should get the results today from an MRI that I had on Wednesday.
Wanted to mention about the possible need for updating Whooping Cough / Pertussis vaccinations . I hear that there is a serious outbreak among college age folks in Vermont. I believe that the vaccinations given before 1993 are no longer effective.

Judy, My condolences on the loss of your brother.
I lost the last of my beloved brothers just about a year ago. He was 95 and had been fortunate in that he enjoyed good health both mentally and physically right up to the end. His heart just wore out.
I hope that all of you were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with family, friends or your best choice.
My DH, eldest DD & her DH and I, went to an open house at our DGson’s place. Had turkey and all things Thanksgiving . But maybe not—— as I believe there was no dish with cranberries. We brought home a nice lot of left overs. We can provide our own cranberries!!! We’ll make a pumpkin pudding today to eke out the left overs.
The best part of yesterday for me was seeing my eldest 3 great-grands. I came away chuckling about the 12 year old great-granddaughter’s room . Supposedly DGGD had cleaned it . One of her other grandmothers had remarked that it might be clean but it surely was not neat and clean.
The eldest, a 14 year old boy, has volunteered to work Saturdays at the library where he will teach their older patrons the basics of PC use .
The 11 year old great-grandson was his usual charming self. He was neatly dressed with a neck tie over a tucked in white shirt—- but no shoes.
Later today we are going to another DD's place for ham and who knows what else. Gotta stop by Aldi's on the way there to pick up some stuff. For the first time ever I'm going to by turkey gravy in a jar.

@cedar I have a saying " There is just one ting better than grandchildren-------That is great-grandchildren." I think it is because the admiration society for the new babe has increased by a whole generation of admirers. It is so much fun to watch everybody. We now have the six great-grands and another one due in February.

Apparently my difficulty on getting on to the Glass Board was a glitch as after checking all the other boards when I went back to the GB I got right one.

Just checking all of the sites as I am having trouble logging into the Glass Board.

We had 29 Trick or Treaters. Think none of them were from our neighborhood. We enjoyed them just the same.

@picker16judy Hi Judy, Did you remove that URL from your Profile?I don't see it now.

@inmax Come on over and join us on the Glass Board.

I remember those guinea hens / chickens . My mom took me on a annual with her when she went to visit her childhood friends one of whom had guinea hens / chickens.
Gonna go Google about how to tell a guinea hen from a guinea rooster. LOL

Good evening friends,
Had this bit of fun this past week.
Trying to dump this item on a DD or DGDIL::

”””””Anybody making Christmas cookies ?
I have this Electric Foodgun that looks like it would be a ton of fun for the gadget oriented kids with a guaranteed mess for somebody to clean up. Full directions and recipes included. And wouldn’t you know the cleaning brush is missing?””””””

Offer declined by all the females but snatched up by a son-in-law who will be making cookies with his 29 months old grandson. Our DD, the grandmother, said ” PERFECT! I get to watch the fun, sample the product, and XXXXX will do all the work. Life is good. XXXXX ”

Here is the son-in-law who quickly claimed it with his helper & side-kick.

@inmax i do try to keep myself busy. Otherwise I would be driving my family nuts. They are well aware of my need to stay busy and so try to assist me when I have technical problems which is pretty often. Youngest DD will be here on Friday to help update BookTrakker my book listing database.
Today I'm cleaning and taking pictures of my Corning pieces. Funny but the plastic refrigerator covers seem to be selling best. The selling price is not a lot for the covers but I have a new looking 4 piece set with 3 plastic and 1 Pyrex lid.

Just thought everyone would want to know ;;;;;;
Bosses Day is Tuesday, October 16, 2012!
Now let me see-----What kind of flowers should I order for myself?

Thought anybody who popped in here might get a chuckle from my recent experience.
Will share my yesterday with y’all.
My day improved as time moved it along. We had a beautiful sunny day and I needed to take pictures. Had been somewhat out of sorts as I had spent about 2 hours taking pictures on Wednesday. When I sat down at the computer to crop the pics I laid my SanDisk down for a second right here near the printer. Then could not find it . Thought maybe it fell of the front of my desk so I got a light and got down on the floor. Then got the vacuum out to clean while I was down there. But no SanDisk to be found. A new $12.50 disc and 2 hours work gone, gone , gone. Really 3 hours as I spent nearly an hour looking for it.
My household helper dropped by late this afternoon. She walked over to the computer pulled out the drawer underneath the computer and picked up the disk.
Is that an improved day or what?

Today is National Depression Screening Day:: If interested check this out:::

Another Colts fan here. Didn't watch the game. I'll read about in the morning paper.

@drst Good for you on getting the books into the hands of someone who maybe keep them in circulation. I would guess that Russian Literature are not easy to come by . Probably not an influx of people taking those classes either.
For those of you who use Auctiva remember:::Auctiva will be down for scheduled maintenance between the hours of 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. PST, October 9.
Helen in Indy

@drst Do those books have ISBN numbers. Or in some cases an ASIN. If no ISBN you'll have to search by author and title. Yiou can use either an ISBN or ASIN to list them on Amazon one book at a time . Amazon charges 99 cents if the book sells. Don't know the real particulars but try searching Amazon for that ISBN . When you find it I think there is a 'Want to sell yours?" and off you go.
Helen in Indy

@drst Don't be too hasty about disposing of the Russian Literature books. Perhaps a book store would pick them up. Or try selling a batch here on ebay. The English titles are probably there and it will help if you know them . Helen in Indy

@inmax Hi Max, Glad I dropped by before getting down to my last listing for the day. I was going to ask you about my fish mugs. Indianapolis has never had many places that specialized in seafood. I'll ask around but what might have closed i the last few years. At least I can be pretty confident that they are restaurant ware.

Well the trouble today is getting pictures made. It seems the light is never quite right. Mornings I use the deck which is on the west side of the house. It is shaded by a peach tree. The problem today was that I was trying to get a picture of some stainless steel knives. I got the reflection of the leaves in the shiny surface. Will have to get out there earlier in the morning.
Afternoons I use the wall beside the drive way on the east side of the house from which to hang clothing. I have to wait until between 3:00 and 4:30 or it is too bright. It is always something.

Hello to Max, Judy, Mim and Cedar,
How wonderful it was to venture out to get the paper this morning and find the rain coming down in buckets with the water streaming out about 2 ft from the curb. We have not had that happen in at least 2 1/2 months.

But if you want to talk about troubles I can talk about troubles. Had been working away doing pricing research for much of the morning. Then DGD came in all excited because her dad had found 3 more wonderful leather items for her to sell. She got them already to go and the computer stalled. After stewing for several minutes we realized that we had no Internet service. We use AT&T as do her parents. Just week before last they had a similar problem with AT &T. They ended up having to pay a service fee and buy a new router.

DGD did the phone calls and got the AT&T service call set up for tomorrow afternoon. Then we went off to the grocery store. On the way there and back and while shopping I am stewing because I had 2 eBay orders which I should have processed this morning. When we got back DGD brought the groceries inside and in a flash popped back to the computer. GLORY! GLORY! We had Internet service!!!

DGD cancelled the service call and put her new listings up. She had another leather briefcase, a Coach belt for men and a NWT cigar holder. I think her dad may have been stashing things for some time. Bless his pea pickin' heart!!!

@inmax Max , Glad you finally got here. It seems that several of the boards which were created for us are not getting used a lot. The Book -- Pottery --- Glass Boards seem to get the most activity , Come on over. You can get there by clicking any one of those high light names over on the right.
I suppose that many of us are busy listing for the current promotion.

BTW , I rebooted and got right on to PayPal. My labels are printed. Now to get DH to do the packing part.

I think that PayPal must be down as I cannot get on there to do address labels. So I am up to this bit of devilment.

I am posting this on all of the boards.
I notice that when I add that 14 Day return policy that we get an additional box for return terms. Wondering what terms others are stating . As some of you know I sell clothing. Thinking about what kind of an attachment that I could add to a used or NWOT clothing item that could prevent the buyer from wearing the dress and then returning it. I know that some glass seller will add some kind of mark. On more common depression glass I have added a piece of "Wite-Out" tape with my initials on it. Otherwise the buyer might return a damaged piece.
In past years I have known an individual or two that would return a special occasion item to Sears or Montgomery Ward after it had been worn. In one instance the mother-of-the-bride had the bridesmaids change to a different garment after the wedding but before the reception.

@justmim Good morning mim and any others who happen to be passing through. I think I am getting back into my old habits as I was up in the middle of the night, too.

Sitting here having a late breakfast of toasted day old biscuits and hot apple sauce. I'm sure that in just a bit Edgar will start going back and forth to move the watering hose. He is trying to keep the tomatoes going. Thought sure we would get some of that rain that was coming our way from Missouri and Illinois. No such luck though.

Just posted this over on the Glass Board http://i50.tinypic.com/zup2jr.jpg . I have a pair of these bisque lamps. One with a girl and a dog the other with a boy and a dog. Hope to get them prepackaged soon so I'll know how much it will cost to ship them before listing on eBay.

But let me be the first to wish all of you Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Happy Valentines Day --- 3 days late.

inmax , Thanks for asking. Yes, there were 5-6 stitches. They were removed on Wednesday and the small wound was covered with a band aid that I'm supposed to keep in place for 7 days.
In the interim between the laser surgery and stitch removal I had 2 kidney stones passing through. Had some strong pain medication with which to stave off a trip to the emergency room on the first one. But couldn't handle the second round. So called on one of the DDs to take me to ER. We were there about 4 hours after which DD brought me home. I slept for 24 hours. I think I can see how people become drug addicts. Sure was a good sleep.
Don't know about mim but I am enjoying the current stretch lovely sunny days here in Indy. And all the hoopla about the Super Bowl.

No iced over trees an bushes after all. Surely glad of that. Not sure whether or not I'll get out today. Maybe ?????

@doreen366ml --- Hi Doreen. I probably spend way too much time trying to come up with the 80 character title. For Your ad I wish you could use 'horse' but afraid that might get you in trouble.LOL. For starters how about 'Welcome Home"? Wish I could do better.
@justmim --- Hi mim. mim is a friend and lives just a couple miles south of me. Don't know about you but our trees and bushes are beginning to ice over. Guess I'll be sticking close to home today.
I was out most of yesterday --- Wednesday, I had laser surgery on a growth on my chin that had showed some cancer cells. Never experienced this before so let me tell you a little about the surprises involved. I had supposed that it would be pretty much an and "in-and-getter-'er-done' and out the door. Not so. They lasered off a layer then I had to sit in the waiting room while they sent it to an in house laboratory. This process was to be repeated until they got a clean sample. Fortunately , it took only one turn for me . But still I was there for 4 hours. I did a lot of napping and reading.

Addicted to grand children me???? Surely not!!! Only one thing better than grand children--- Great-grandchildren!!!! DH and I have 6 of the GGCs. We have 4 of them here in town. The 20 month old we get to see at least once a week. The older 3 are pre-adolescent and busy with school studies and activities. Two of them start a basketball program this week. We will be going to their games.
