Good Morning everyone. It is drizzling rain here this morning.

@fran I hope you don't stay sick for too long.
MM @newplace thanks for sharing that pic of the lamps. DDG
NancyP @jerseystar27 I couldn't ever imagine being that long without power. Glad you are back
@carma WTG for Marley and her team

Helen I had a little giggle about the young teen and the shoes.
Julie

@newplace Marymelodee ... I had to have my Charlie put down. Broke my heart. Before the week was out, I had 4 1/2 week old Rocky. I said Rocky was the son Charlie would have had, had Charlie not been neutered. LOL. No one could take Charlie's place, but it helped to think of Rocky being the son...not really replacing Charlie, but still a part of Charlie's memory.

@newplace Yes, we visited them a few years ago. They took us to a beautiful huge place and we had cocktails on the veranda and watched the sunset behind the Blue Ridge Mountains, it was breathtaking!!

@wellingtonct LAURIE ... So enjoyed reading about your dear PEN MEM. How lucky Teddy is that you adopted him, he looks adorable.

@newplace Marymelodee ... I actually use to open 2 tabs for the Chatroom if I want to do several mentions in a post. The second tab, I can look up the mention, highlight it, copy past back in the first tab. Now I just keep a list of all the Display names with the Log-IN ID next to it. Don't know if it will copy here without being all askew. I try to copy the first few names and see what happens.

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes! This is my big 65 and it's just delightful to have friends to help celebrate!

@newplace Marymelodie ... After doing your mention and posting, go up to the tabs in the right hand corner and click on HOME. If you are looking at your own mentions, just remember to switch back to "All Members tab to the left of your own mentions.

@10bbg10 HELEN ... I know that plate as it caused a lot of talk in the Glass Chat 2 or 3 years back. I have to go search through my notes and see if I can locate it. It's a newer piece, I'm thinking 60s or 70s by Colony or someone like that. Will search when I get back from running errands.

Also a couple of people have mention on the ChatAbout forum that AVG is giving them a warning in the gallery. Several others using AVG say they are having no problems or warnings and suggested people "clear their caches." I don't know what that means or how to do that. Was that what I did last night with the F5 button? What is the cache? Is that like clearning cookies?

@itsagas BILL ... thanks for posting the pictures. I love being able to see them up close and really study them. Terrific pieces!

@donscns DON ... I'm not aware of that being policy but I know I heard something similar at one time...totally fuzzy as to when it was or any particulars. But it was not totally unfamiliar to me, so I wonder if it was something eBay had kicked around at one time or another. I should think that would stop everyone from selling, for sure. If that fellow really believes that is policy, I can't imagine him still selling.

@newplace Marymelodee ... such a sweet little pink vase, but I know nothing.

@shellyrae37 ... Congratulations on being a GGGM! Did you try Don's suggestion on using your F5 button way up top on your keyboard. I didn't read his instructions carefully and I only pressed the F5 button, but that cleared up things and I could then see the new banner. His instructions were actually hold the Control button and press F5. Have you tried that?

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... can't believe you actually allowed yourself to take a nap! LOL. For me, they are a staple in my life. 🙂 Why do your swaps not run during the summer? That's when most of our run and close in the winter when the weather is bad.

HI and waving to TONY and JANICE.

@susansselections SUSAN ... SNOW? SNOW? SNOW? 12 inches of SNOW! 😯

@newplace Really beautiful pictures! I have a friend in Henderson, nice area.

I actually had a Nana nap today
Shelly @shellyrae37 WOW Congratulations GGGrandma
MM @newplace Absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing those pics
Julie

@newplace Marymelodee ... yep, that's what I've been trying to do all afternoon. He's pretty good about me blow drying his back and sides but he gets all narly if I try to dry his legs and paws and chest. He draws his legs all up under him and you'd need a lever to pry them loose. His ears take forever and ever and ever to try to dry. Rocky's a Shih Tzu.

Good Morning everyone, each day is getting warmer here and you can feel the hints of summer just around the corner.
Welcome to all the newcomers ! I see we now have 124 members so ppl are still finding us
@newplace MM No that pub I showed is not called Turd Tavern LOL. Long story about Turd Tavern I once shared on the GB and Alicia remembered it LOL
@songbreeze Gail. I love the show & hide. Very clever of you. And a good idea to have that posted every now & then because all thats in that post is VERY important for obtaining the correct ID
Julie..thinking a lazy day sounds the go for me.

@newplace : Can't be 100% sure because that photo is just too small for my tired old eyes & it distorts if I increase the zoom level, but the Pitcher looks like Northwood's Ribbed Pillar, from his Elwood City plant, circa 1892.

Good Morning everyone. The weekend is here and I am heading off soon for a weekend of partying with a bunch of great friends to a little outback one horse country town. It has a big old pub and we have rented all the rooms. Everyone will be riding their bikes I will be driving and taking 2 of my great friends because he can not ride anymore. He was just diagnosed with incurable cancer.By the time he went to the DR complaining of a bad back It had already travelled through his lungs & is now in his bones.
@songbreeze Gail I hope you feel better soon. ((hugs))
@webmaster Curt thank you so much for explaining a bit more. I do think our privacy is very important and we certainly do not want undesirables to find us , making it for an unpleasant experience here.
@newplace MM DD has a few vintage items.When here and I have been sorting she has admired something and I would give it to here. She even has a lovely EAPG master bowl, she often uses on special occassions.I have instructions from SIL to be on the look out for some ruby glass red wine glasses. He loves my Ruby Glass wines.
@10bbg10 Helen how wonderful that you and Mim live so close. I wished I was closer to the Glassies but then that would mean trading all my great friends down here.
@carma That is good news about your troops. I wonder if we will follow suit now that Gaddifi is dead
Julie..saying hooroo

Good Morning eveyone. Another picture perfect Spring day installed for us down here.And I would have missed one DDG sunrise, but I slept in this morning and missed my swim 🙁
@newplace MM "High teas" are big downhere at the moment http://www.atyourtable.com.au/high-tea.html?gclid=CNmpifqK-KsCFS4F4godPDLHpA and I think that has influenced DD with her choice of table settings.She wants old & elegent and loves the look of the clear glass comports etc on white lace . I did the coffee & tea table for her at their wedding. I used my English Myott setting and I must say it looked DDG.
I love to use my items whenever I can, think its because I just love showing off what I have LOL. I have set some lovely tables here over the years for DD for special occasion dinners.
@jpthings Bear Yes I am seriously thinking about starting another collection for Miss P and that would be Pink Glass LOL The other day when I was Opshopping with sister I saw a gorgeous little pink single creamer & sugar made by Johnson UK (Dawnrose) and thought the demitasse cups & saucers added when I can find them would make a charming little girls teaset and when she is old enough she can have little tea parties/ High teas here with Grandma.Then hopefully when she is older still we will have fun hunting for the 'adult" pieces
@wellingtonct Thank you so much for going to all the trouble of getting us the last day of our chat room.
Julie.

Good morning, glassies.

@lizabeth1936 ... Good to see you checking in as we haven't seen you for a while!

@goodwinantiques LEAH ... Like Julie's DH, I, too, am partial to the desert scenes. Lovely shaker.

@nona NANCY JEAN ... Slapping my forehead with the heel of my hand...DUH...I always forget that I, too, have that Truitt book and never crossed my mind to look in it for the motif.

@newplace Marymelodee ... I couldn't see the single photo...but I was able to see it when you posted the album.

@panishklo MARSON ... always good to see you posting.

@10bbg10 HELEN ... in spite of all my trips up to Joplin, my poor little booth is still looking very sparse. I'm always embarassed by my booths because there is just no rhyme or reason to how they are laid out. So many people can decorate their booths so beautifully and I can't decorate a booth if my life depended on it. Mine are just a bad hodge-podge.

@fran dbfrogs FRAN ... what fun to have a hubby who can be such a good sport! What will you be going as?

@newplace MaryMelodee ... sorry, I don't know your little hobnail dish.

Good Morning everyone
I see a few are complaining about glitches with eBay....seee this is what happens when they start messing about with things. Shut down the chat boards and look what they have done.
Yes @newplace MM They have probably cut the green and the yellow one too somewhere and don't even know they have done it LOL
MM I find the easiest way to post a link to a pic is to right click on the pic, from the drop down menu click "copy URL" annd then come back to the board and paste Just like this
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/kweenofclutter/006640x4802.jpg and here is your pic without all the other stuff photobucket adds. And that method works on any other pic host sites.

@10bbg10 HELEN ... I just had to run back over and check the count on some of the tickets. They are still doing the totalling up of all the sales, but I think whether the money is up or down, the big success is how it brings the entire Vinita community together at Oktoberfest.

@newplace MaryMelodee ... Quite a set and interesting auction. I checked Doty's and WOW, what a set to have been donated to Goodwill!

@newplace Marymelodee ... This is the model I have had for nearly 8 years. It has been superb. It is accurate beyond belief and I've only had to change the battery once. Not very often have I had to weigh anything more than 3, 4, or 6, 8 lbs...but once in a while I've had 16 or 18 or 20 (punch bowl & glasses, etc.) I love this scale. This is the identical scale that I have http://www.ebay.com/itm/MY-WEIGH-ULTRA-55-Shipping-Scale-35lb-X-0-1-oz-/370533483835?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item564584453b but the "My Weigh" brand has different styles, sizes, and prices.

Good morning everyone

@suzy Yes we did have a fun day. Lots of laughing went on But I wouldn't recommend the restauarant we went to, it was very ordinary. But I suppose thats what we get for ordering the specials LOL
@newplace MM WTG!!
Leah @goodwinantiques great article
Julie

@newplace MM woo hoo on the sale of your honey box...very nice! Congrats! I'll be keepin' an eye out for one of those 😯

Good morning, glassies. Gee, another late start for me this morning. Slept in way too late.

@jagofc TONY ... Oh, thanks so much for posting @newplace Marymelodee's auction! Terrific finish, Marymel, and happy dancing for you!

@10bbg10 HELEN ... so sorry, but I'm going to need a picture. I was laughing trying to think like an architect to build the item from your description, but it was just not working for me. Would love to see a pic. 😀

With this "mention" feature... We all have TWO ID's here.... our log-in ID ... and our display name. For some of us that is the same. For others they are different. The mention or @ name only works with our log-in name. So for you I have to use 10bbg10 rather than Helen; for me, it is songbreeze, rather than oklahomasong_Gail. However for those whose log-in and display are the same, it's easier... maryb is Maryb, fran2 is Fran2, reen is Reen...

@newplace MM, Congrats on your sale of the Honey Box. http://www.ebay.com/itm/120780140178?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
WTG.

Tony

@Mary Did you say that the stopper on the 2nd one was in the book? Did it say the maker of it? Thank you so much for looking for me and again for finding the info.

@fran2 Thank you SO much for the research you did on that cup! I feel kind of silly not even thinking of looking up the letter abbreviations....duh me! 😳 I'm also embarassed to admit that I have never quite figured out how to navigate the PGP board so I've never used it...I just count on all of my glassie friends here and you've always all come through for me!!

@newplace MM I sure will....as soon as you send that glowy green Kralik was it? piece to me so I can put it in my "glass hospital" for it's recovery...LOL!

@itsagas Bill thanks for concurring...and I will remember to use that site in the future.

@donscns DON … So why were you up all night? Hope all is well and it was just one of those occasional ”guess-I-won’t-sleep-tonight” nights.

@newplace marymelodee MARY … what a beautiful item, so sorry it has boo-boos. 🙁

Nancy Jean and Tony … Stay dry! and send some of that rain over here in the Southwest…

Good morning, glassies.

@newplace Marymelodee and @Shanigirl RUTH… So glad you finally registered. We were missing you all.

@fran FRAN … Thank you so much for posting the boards for me. Was able to bring my sister home from the hospital and she is doing just fine with a clean bill of health. Thanks again for your help.
