Many of you will remember Dick Reed. He was a participant on the old E-bay Glass Board and an occasional poster on this board. According to the message I received, he passed away in Jan. A collector of old rare Milk Glass and particularly of .. Covered Animal Dishes. !... He was laughingly referred to as an expert C.A.D. ! I Dick and I had became friends...visiting with each other... prowling antique malls and shops. But, during 2020, I had difficulty getting in touch with him.. Only got Voice Mail on phone calls and no response to e-mails. He had some health issues in 2019, but then seemed to recover and do OK... I do not have any details regarding his passing. I will miss him and his dry sense of humor.

George and I shared a birthday... March 6...and used to joke about it on the old E-bay glass page. Always looked for his "Good Mornings" and "Good Nights" . He was so helpful to me when I suffered my massive cardiac arrest. He will be greatly missed.

Haven't posted in quite a long time, but I am turning to you for help.. Am trying to get some items set up for listing on Ebay and I cannot figure out what the Ebay techies have done now. I have items listed and have had other items listed which closed the other day.. No problems with those listing.. Now, after filling in my description of the item... all photos and all important facts, I hit PREVIEW and there is no description there ! So I go back.. Description is just as I wrote it, but it will not come up on the PREVIEW, which means it will not show up when the item is listed.. What do I do ?

Just for some reason I kept getting a RED notice that I could not require immediate payment on a BIN because I had stated Local Pick-up Only.. which I had not done. I didn't click the box for that ! I couldn't tell you now what I did to get that off the form... I have no idea !! LOL !

It kept telling me I had designated "Local Pick-up Only".. which I had not ! Took a long time to figure out how to get that off the listing !... Lots of other really dumb aspects to it... Only got two items listed and I've been at it most of the afternoon... ~~~~sigh~~~~

Whenever I take a break, they change things !.. Am just wondering.. when I finally got the form all filled out, and clicked Preview.. I saw that all the characters for BOLD.. Paragraph.. or font color, etc. are showing up in the Preview form... Also, if I include a picture in the Description, it does not show on the Preview.. Am I no longer allowed to include pictures in the body of my listing.. and what do I do about all the characters for Bold, paragraph, etc. Will they NOT show up in the actual listing, but the BOLD and paragraph changes will be there..

Hope this post makes sense and someone can give me answer... Almost not worth the trouble to try and figure out the changes....

My son posted this on his FB page today...Josie is on the left.. Matt is on the right.. Same sweet 70's mustard suit. Matt's picture was taken in 1974 when he was 6 months old.. They both weigh just about the same.. Josie is longer...taller then Matt was. I think that's why she fills out the suit lengthwise a bit better. I kept the suit, for some reason, and gave it to Matt before Josie was born.. Although Josie has her head turned, you can see the same little nose.. same eyebrows... same chin.. same shape mouth and same ears !.. Brought tears to my eyes to see this combined photo.

I know, Gail.. Josie won't know the package didn't get there for Christmas.... And her Daddy will understand, but not sure if her mommy will be gracious that Grammie Sue didn't have a Christmas gift for her . Christmas is PERFECTION with her !

Nothing I can do about it... but, am sure curious why this package made it to Northborough, MA and then just stopped. Only about an hour's drive away !

Been there since Saturday. All day, the tracking said it would be delivered by the end of today. Now the tracking says, "PENDING....No scheduled delivery date available at this time.." .. I am heartsick over this... Looks like the special gift for my Grandbaby will not arrive in time for Christmas....I do intend to let the company know how I feel about them shipping with Fed Ex and I sure as HECK will let Fed Ex know how horrible their shipping is !

Didn't make it to NH yet.. From Sat morning until now, it has gone about 10 miles up the road to Northborough , MA. ! I am losing hope .. And this was the most important of the items I ordered. ~~~~sigh~~~~

The worst one is a gift I ordered on Dec. 6... Estimated receiving date was 12/14.. Ok I can live with that. However, Every time I checked the tracking, a different shipping date and arrival date would show up.. Now, it seems , the package may have been sent to some other country !.. According to tracking, for the last 3 days, this is what shows up...

"PACKAGE HAS BEEN DISPATCHED FROM THE USPS INTERNATIONAL SERVICE CENTER FOR FINAL DELIVERY TO RECEIVER."

I've done some checking and what this means is..".the package arrived at the International Service Center and has departed the country !"

This is an item that was shipped from Ohio !.. Why would it even go to an International Service Center??

Next... A package I ordered in Nov. is supposed to be on it's way by Fed Ex.. It's been traveling from Wisconsin for over 3 weeks ! It has finally made it's way to Worcester, MA. Can only hope it doesn't need another 3 weeks to go up Rt. 495 to NH.. ( about an hours drive )

And another package coming by Fed Ex. According to the tracking record. it left the Manchester, NH FedEx facility 3 days ago for the USPS office in Goffstown, NH.. where I live ! Goffstown is 5 miles away from Manchester ! The latest information is.....

7:43 am Out for delivery
GOFFSTOWN, NH

Out for delivery with the U.S. Postal Service

But, then that info is amended by this...

9:09 am In transit
GOFFSTOWN, NH

In transit to U.S. Postal Service

So, if I'm reading this right the package left Manchester for the long 5 mile ride to Goffstown 3 days ago...At 7:43 this morning it was sent out to be delivered to me.. and then at 9:09 Am it was determined to return it and it is now in transit TO the U.S. Postal Service. !!!

All 3 of these gifts are special items for my grandbabies. I am sooo upset ! I know that the PO and other shipping companies get extremely busy at this time of year, however it seems to me the errors and problems I am describing could be the result of untrained seasonal worker error. All of these errors , mistakes and shipping problems sound like the result of pure stupidity !

OK.. my rant is over..( for today..)

Your blue TP is actually the pattern JEWEL...aka LACY MEDALLION. It is not the TP for the pattern Colorado... The Colorado TP is in the same style as the other pieces of the pattern , in that it is footed and round. The only item in the Colorado pattern that is flat bottomed is the tumbler. Colorado was produced in 1898 and is line No. 15057. Jewel...aka Lacy Medallion.... was produced in 1905...All Lacy Medallion items are flat bottomed and likely were produced for the Souvenir market.. The small cordial/wine may have also been used with the Colorado pattern, but was produced during the Jewel production.

The blizzard hit last night and I have no idea how many inches MORE we got, but the totals around SE NH are pretty high ! I took these pictures late Friday afternoon after my roof was shoveled off... A day late, I might add.. Two year old roof leaked during the night Thursday and my hall bathroom ceiling was pretty much destroyed....My plow guy was so inundated with calls to clear roofs and was so backed up, he just didn't get to my house until too late ! I was on the scheduled since Sunday !..Haven't been plowed yet for this storm, so am not going out to take more pictures.. The wind is so bad that the blowing snow is causing white-outs ! Anyway, this is what it looked like as of Friday..
That "shrub" you see at the corner of the house is not a shrub ! It's a cedar tree that was as tall as the roof.. Guess it's done for now !

I know, to some it may not seem like anything to be upset about, but I guard my FB very carefully, and to have some new e-bayer who evidently can't read the info on a listing or read a note packed on the inside of a box, post an implication that my items were dirty really bothered me.

Once again, a buyer has irritated the heck out of me !.. We used to be able to respond to FB, but now I can't find a way to do so. Just had a buyer.. ( with only a 4 FB score ) post this on my FB.

"There were some grease marks on the dishes but I was satisfied with them."

This was on 4 Candlewick cups and saucers . I have NEVER sold dirty glassware !.. But, each item I sell also has a mark on it with an invisible marking pen.. I mention that it will be there in every listing and also in the note I include win the shipping box. The "grease marks" are the invisible pen marks !.. She makes it sound like I sold her dirty glassware !..

Is there anyway to respond to FB now?.. I'd hate for future buyers to think I sell dirty glass.

One of the first items was a Fine Cut and Block creamer.. As soon as the auctions closed, I hit the link to send the Invoice.. and then went on and watched the rest of the listings close.. Two other items that closed were a Winged Scroll Creamer and A Winged Scroll Sugar to the same buyer. And when I went to send a Combined Invoice I noticed that the buyer was the same person as who won the bid on the Fine Cut and Block creamer. I sent a note to the buyer saying that I would combine the shipping on the 2 Winged Scroll items but that I was reluctant to ship the Fine Cut and Block creamer in the same box. That would be 3 large items in one box and I didn't consider that to be safe. I included this note with the Invoice.

"I will combine the shipping on the two Winged Scroll items. However, for safety sake, the Finecut & Block creamer will be shipped separately. The Invoice for that item has already been sent."

A short while ago, I got this note form the buyer.. ( 2 days after the auctions closed. )

"I see no where in your details that you do not combine shipping. I have never come across this before, I hope it is just an error on the PAY NOW page. If this is the case, I would have to ask to cancel my purchase of the fine cut creamer... Please advise. Thank you."

To me, it sounds like she has never read the note I sent ! And I am angry that she wants to cancel the purchase of the creamer because I am trying to get all 3 items to her safely ! I do not feel it is the best thing to do to try and pack all 3 items into one priority box !... I have half a mind to cram all 3 items in one box and just let them go and hope they don't break, but if they do break, I'm the one who will be out. I've never had any items arrive to a buyer broken.. I also have a feeling that no matter which way I choose to ship these items, I'm going to end up with a Negative FB !

Thanks for letting me vent. I sent as nice a reply to the buyer and can only hope she comes to her senses.

I live in a section of town where all the elec. lines are underground. Never lost power ! About half of the town is without power still.. Got more snow last night.. so everything is still covered.. I lost my satellite TV all day Wed. and Wed. night, but got it back yesterday morning.. Lost the internet and phone last night, but they are back on today.. Haven't checked with Matt yet today.. Spoke with him last night and his power was still out. He had several trees go down some all decorated with Christmas lights, so figured he had to get the lights off those trees today so the trees could be removed.. I image he is out in the cold doing that today. A sunny bright gorgeous day !

One is leaning up against the house. Just missed going through the guest room bedroom window on the second floor and the other one was a gorgeous big crab apple tree in the front yard that he had just finished putting Christmas lights on.....So far , I am OK... Big maple tree in front yard is hanging very low with heavy snow and. brushing against the house. I can see neighbors up the street with trees down. I've only had the power flicker a couple of times.. but lots are without. This turned into a very nasty storm...

"Dear mainewildrose

We've noticed you have a number of listings that are a great fit for the Global Shipping Program but are not currently enabled for international sales. This means you're missing out on millions of potential buyers.

In October we will automatically enable all of your GSP-eligible listings. This will help make it easier for buyers in up to 64 countries to purchase your items.

International sale, US shipping

With the Global Shipping Program, you simply ship to a US shipping center where international shipping and customs clearance are handled for you.

No action is needed to take advantage of this global selling opportunity; simply leave your settings as they are now. Eligible items are identified automatically, free of charge. However if you would like your GSP-eligible items to be excluded from the Program simply click here by October 3, 2014.

And as always, thanks for selling on eBay! "

I do NOT want to deal with buyers in other countries. Looks like I will have to opt out of this by clicking on the link included in the e-mail.. and of course, E-bay will find a way to "punish" me for doing so. Perhaps by making my listings impossible to find..

I just got the e-mail from PayPal at the same time regarding the 180 day return policy !..UNBELIEVABLE ! ..So a buyer breaks a piece of glass 5 months after buying it and now can file a dispute saying the item is "not as advertised" ( its broken ) and wants a refund ?.. Give me a break !

Does your Lady Chippendale basket have the registry mark on it? The reason I ask is that Fenton repro'd the pattern between 1965 and 1972 in the colors of blue, pink, amber , green, and orange, so it's possible they also did it in milk glass.. Just a thought to consider.. According to Heacock in the Opalescent book, Davidson only produced it in blue and yellow opalescent.

I […] http://glass.chatroomboard.com/activity/p/36241/ Thu, 24 Jul 2014 18:50:39 -0400 OK.. I know this sounds absolutely silly, but, it works ! I was told this solution for leg cramps about 3 years ago and laughed out loud ! Someone said to put a bar of soap in the bed between the sheets. ! Now that is dumb, I thought. One night the cramps were so bad I stood in my bathroom with my toes curled up and the calves of my legs in big knots and I cried from the pain. I looked down and spotted the bar of soap... ā€œIrish Spring.ā€.. And, said to myself, ā€œOk.. Iā€™m game for anything!ā€™.. So I put the bar of soap in the bed..crawled back in.. and slept the rest of the night ! I kept the bar of soap there and a few weeks later, told the story to one of my friends, who laughed at me, just as I had laughed at the person who told me about it. So , I decided to do a bit of research.. And there may very well be some truth to this solution. One of the first things us ā€œolder folksā€ are told to do is to cut out the salt from out diets. Well, go get a bar of soap.. ( not a fancy oatmeal or rose petal type of soap) Get Irish Spring.. Dial, etc. and read the ingredients. There will be 4-5 different kinds of chlorides listed.. That is SALT ! I see that several people have mentioned potassium , magnesium, calcium, etc.. Those are all various kinds of SALT ! Potassium Chloride... Magnesium chloride.. calcium chloride ! The bar of soap in the bed leaves a residue of the salts in it on the sheets or even on your legs as you move around during the night and that salt seeps through the skin and into the muscles of the legs. NO CRAMPS ! Have you ever watched a sporting event on TV and suddenly a player is taken out because he has developed cramps?.. Heā€™s taken into the locker room, given either drinks with salt.. ( Gator Ade) or an IV and in a short period of time, heā€™s back in the game. His body was depleted of salt and as soon as its replenished, the player is OK. In the 3 years or so since I put that first bar of soap in my bed, Iā€™ve only had nighttime leg cramps a couple of times, and thatā€™s usually because Iā€™ve accidently kicked the bar of soap out of the bed or forgotten to put it back in the bed after changing the sheets. Oh, I was watching that TV show ā€œ Who Wants To Be A Millionaireā€ about 6 months ago and the question was. ...
ā€œ Which of these items should one put in the bed to prevent getting leg cramps?ā€.. 4 items were listed and one of them was .. A Bar of Soap... which was the correct answer !

Give it a try !.. Itā€™s cheap and it works !.. Just check the ingredients and make sure there are lots of different chlorides listed..

( Try not to laugh too hard or loudly... my kids think itā€™s foolish, but then, they havenā€™t reached the age of nightime leg cramps or had salt restricted from their diets yet ! ) and please donā€™t think Iā€™m some kind of idiot !... It really does work.)

Roads blocked.. flooding from the river. Huge big tree on the lawn of St Lawrence Church came down.. Power outages all over town.. Am lucky in that all power lines in this Co-Op where I live are all underground. And on a separate "trunk" or whatever it is called. Only had some flickering.. Still raining and some rumbling off in the distance.
