Such sad news about Jim @newtonenterprises My condolences to his family.

@dorbitz JimL -- yikes!! That is high. We have TimeWarner for the TV but high speed DSL from Verizon (NOT Fios -- I don't want to lose my phone that works even when there's no power).

Julie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JIM D @newtonenterprises

Don @donscns JimD @newtonenterprises Alicia @4931nextdoor Shelly @shellyrae37 Here is one of our heritage train rides I have never been on it but I'd like to one day. Its about a 4 hour drive from me so it would mean I'd have to stay over night somewhere.

@newtonenterprises JIMD ... it's a liquid given with a syringe. I just wrap Frannie with a towel, but what's so messy is she's just like Vesuvius. You squirt a bit in the back of her throat and, just like trying to feed a baby for the first time, it begins spewing and bubbling from her mouth. She only has to have it once a day. She's been perkier the past couple of days, but still not eating, not drinking, and wet the bed again yesterday. I'm seeing the vet Monday and if she still isn't doing any better I'm going to have them keep her overnight until we can get some of this under control.

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... your swap meets always sound fun. You really should take at least one or two pictures to show us your set-up so we can enjoy it vicariously.

@wjweese WENDY ... a cowboy boot! What a hoot! Very creative thinking. 🙂

@reen REEN ... love the Irish Blessings.

HI to IRENE M, SHELLY, DON, CARL, GEORGE, and KATIE!

Getting ready to sit down with my package of dates and a pair of scissors and cut them down for size for my cookies. I had to go back to the grocery store after I went to buy the allspice. I was pulling all the ingredients out and noticed that I had opened the baking soda in November 2009, and the baking powder in 2010, and had no idea on the vanilla. Tells you how often I bake. Yikes! So now3 to go cut dates.

HI to KATIE, IRENE M, and WENDY!

Trying to find out the pattern to this shaker. When I bought it I thought it was Hocking in the 4 piece set that has Dove and Quail etc. as seen in HMW2. It's shaped like Quail but totally different pattern that I can't match to any pattern I know.

@gailmacphee GAIL MAC ... Good Gravy! Congratulations on the New Martinsville! Would have walked right past it without a clue!

@newtonenterprises JIM D ... I didn't recognize the new avatar and for a minute thought it was our poker player JIM. Once I caught on it was you I was reminded of the Curious Case of Benjamin Button. 🙂

@fyrqueen KATIE ... ai-yi-yi can't imagine those leg presses. Surely hope the PT is strengthening you and making for better mobility.

@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... yum yum yum Red Lobster CHeese Biscuits sound super. Herbal garlic butter is just garlic butter with some extra herbs thrown in...maybe a bit of parsley or the like.

@fran2 FRAN 2... Since the Catalonian sticker says "Reproduction....Old Spanish." people don't realize that it is NOT a reproduction piece in the sense we think of reproductions today and often give it a cheap price tag. I got lucky and got a lovely vase for $10 that I sold for over $100.

@reen REEN ... I'd just use both Pitcher / Ewer to cover my bases. 🙂

HI to CARL, DON, and GEORGE!

@newtonenterprises JIM D ... So glad we can meet and hopefully Nancy P will meet up with us. Hopefully since I'll be there for so long, the timing will work out. My son only has Sundays off work. So that's is only 2 days for all the time I'm there. He's going to try to get a bit more time off but it is iffy since this is a new job he just start a month or so ago.

@wjweese WENDY ... oh my, you live up there is the cold damp Northwest with RA? How very difficult. Dusting? haha, I have some stationery that says at the top "Housework Makes You Ugly." 🙂

Going to go thaw out some frozen soup to fix for supper. I love this soup so much that I made a double batch last time and eat a bowl of it nearly every day. It's the pork, kale, white bean soup.

@wjweese WENDY and @shellyrae37 SHELLY … This morning’s coffee was actually a self-portrait! 😆 Glad you enjoyed it.

@donscns DON …. Sorry to hear about your DMIL. Do hope she’s on the mend. You sure have been staying busy with hauling hay. I’m going to be asking if you can post coffee but you surely will let me know if interferes with other commitments.

@jerseystar NANCY P and @newtonenterprises JIM L … I’m still making plans, but I hope to be in Clarksburg, MD from October 30 til November 11. Hope maybe we can meet up for coffee or lunch or maybe even treasure hunting. Unfortunately, I'll be flying so I won't have my car to get around.

Really looking forward to this trip but it’s knocking a hole in my playing catch-up with trying to list and sell during the best time of year. That’s why I’m trying to put some items on eBay for 7 days now and that will give me time to mail anything if it sells. I’ll maybe try to write up some descriptions while I’m gone so I can launch them as soon as I return.

@carma CARL … love learning about the glass, but love the stories of how you obtained it equally as much!

HI to GAIL MAC, REEN and IRENE M.

@nona NANCYJEAN ... I received the sugar yesterday and it is just gorgeous! Love it!

@newtonenterprises JIM D ... I put the card in the computer slot yesterday and was able to get my photo transferred. But that is the first time I have ever used the card. I MISS my USB cord. It was so easy as I just hooked it to my camera and the photo program started automatically.

Good Morning, DON, SHELLY, and CARL!

@glassusa BOB ... well knock my socks off! I'd never have dreamed you could get that kind of money for them. As JULIE would say, "Goodonya, mate!"

@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... the little girl did a really nice job on the car...and yes, she had a ball playing in the water too. 🙂 I told her to come back in a couple of weeks. Sure like the idea of encouraging kids to work.

@newtonenterprises JIM D ... LTNS. Hope all has been going well for you and your DW. Doing any treasure hunting lately?

@donscns DON ... I know you must be having a lovely time and what a wonderful chance to see the Chihuly exhibit.

@jerseystar NANCY P ... you always take such wonderful pictures of your adventures and travels.

@newtonenterprises JIM D ... speaking of pictures, what a splendid shot of the woodpeckers! Just a terrific picture!

HI to BILL!

@newtonenterprises JIM D ... Indeed, I do remember. The tire people fixed it and said it would run forever without a sensor; however, the dashboard light would stay on and the ding-ding-ding alert would sound each time I got into the car and started the motor. Decided I didn't want to have to deal with that indefinitely, so I bit the dust and ordered the part. 🙂

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... good luck with this swap meet. Sounds like a good deal with minimal expensive and only an hour's drive.

@newtonenterprises JIM D ... exactly what I'm afraid the Elliptical will become! I don't have a good track record for actually using exercise equipment. Hopefully this time I really will use it, but it has to be in my front room where I can watch tv at the same time or I can guarantee that I will NEVER use it.

@10bbg10 HELEN ... I must talk a good story, because, believe me, I accomplish very little most of the time. 😀 I've made a bit more headway with putting the Elliptical together, but I'm really taking my time so I don't screw it up by trying to rush through the instructions.

My friends should be here before long and off we go for catfish. About an 3/4 of an hour drive to get to the place.

@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... thanks for the offer to look up some of the jadite. I will take pictures later. The problem I have is that the few reference I have don't give measurements or weight of the item or thickness measurements.

@newtonenterprises JIM D ... Blue Moon is a tree dweller for sure. The top level is her new best sleeping place.

@jmart8248 IRENE M ... so glad you had a good sale with the yarn. I always get so encouraged with a sale and manage a spate of listings. When sales are down I find it hard to make myself list.

@carma CARL ... I really don't mind if there were no deliveries on Saturday. I can't even imagine the last time I actually "wrote" a letter. None of the mail I receive anymore ever requires any expediency on my part. Truly have watched communications morph over the years from snail mail to email, cell phones, skype, etc.

HI to DON and GEORGE!

@newtonenterprises JIM D ... glad to hear you all are ok and all systems are up and running. Love @ohiostar FENTON's picture. All things are relative. 🙂

I'm worn out. Got all my Ruby Lane shop finally done after working the entire afternoon. I've now submitted it for review. It can take up to 5 working days to hear back from the review board. Crossing my fingers I did it all correctly. I must say I had a wonderful experience using their Help Desk...people who actually understood your problem, actually new how to fix it, and gave great instructions. Incredible! Apparently something called Amazon Cloud or Cloud Amazon had cause a problem last week on the site and might have caused my problems. All's well that ends well. 🙂

I am worn out from listing though and just now popped a frozen dinner in the microwave. Think I'll find the recliner, a good movie, and rest and eat what will be my breakfast/lunch/supper.

@shellyrae37 SHELLY... I have 3 children: DD is the oldest and lives in Manhattan; DS#1 lives in California; and the baby 🙂 DS#2 lives outside DC in Clarksburg, MD. Finally got in touch with DD and they are staying in Manhattan. She lives in mid-town and says it's the southern part of Manhattan that is evacuating as it is at sea-level. She feels safe where she is.

@newtonenterprises JIM D ... so glad to hear you are all prepared for whatever Sandy brings. Hope it doesn't getting worse for you all.

@fyrqueen KATIE ... wish you'd come down here and help me sell glass. Dismal sales the past couple of months.

@ver2us1 JANICE & @fran2 FRAN … I was not familiar with a ”waffle set”. Very glad to learn about it and see a complete set.

@baabaamason BOB in KY … Lovely Venus Rising, isn’t it?

@jerseystar NANCY P and @newtonenterprises JIM D … so good to see you put avatars up so I feel like I’m talking to a real person! That’s one thing I’ve enjoyed on this Chat board.

@carma CARL … What kind of train and what size will you be putting on your set-up? Do you have it yet or will you be adding/building to it with trees and stuff little by little?

@reen REEN … please pass on all my hugs and good wishes to SHELLY!

HI to JULIE, SUE, AMBER, DON, HELEN, GEORGE, IRENE M, MARTY!

My computer is running sloooooooow. I shut it all down and hope now it will pick up some speed.

@suzy SUZY ... you are a dear person and very kind, but that pic does NOT look like a 66-year old woman. You are just use to seeing me, 🙂 but if you had never met me before you wouldn't recognize me from that pic. I'm going to a glass convention next month and I want people to recognize me!

Weather seems to be calming down here -- we were under a tornado watch for much of the day with two brief tornado warnings. The tornado watch and the severe t'storm warnings have all been cancelled -- hopefully the reservoirs picked up some water.

@newtonenterprises JIM D ... had not heard of using super glue. Haven't had a paper cut in years...and hope not to have any in the future. Use to get them on the side of my lip from licking envelopes. ouchie!

@amber1986 AMBER ... thanks for asking about my son. Actually, I'm expecting to hear from him soon with an update.

HI to JULIE, DON, HELEN, GEORGE, SHELLY, & MARTY

@newtonenterprises Jim, Thanks. I sent an inquiry to Auctiva today. Have not heard back from them which is unusual. Maybe tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday Afternoon.

@fryqueen - I never thought of it either until the Dr mentioned it. Along with drinking lots of water. Don't know about you but today is also a killer for allergies.

@baabaamason - sorry about your computer troubles. Also you might check with USB Drives being so cheap, you could use that to back up critical files.

@donscns - That is such a shame, these items can not be replaced. Just breaks my hear to see beautiful items ruined because of carelessness. Sorry to hear of your loss, will say a prayer for you all.

@songbreeze - Bummer about the power, but maybe the system was shocked with the rain. Hopefully you got a good soaking rain. Sorry can't help you with your perfume, but it sure is pretty.

@carma - You are so right about checking the sellers listings. Even though some season sellers lack in their descriptions. I don't care what anyone says, if an item is 100 year old and has a chip, I expect to be told so in the description, instead of getting the item and finding out that it does have a chip and they say what do you expect from a 100 year old item. And if you get bored and want another place to clean out, LMK I would be willing to sacrifice my house for the task(G).

@newtonenterprises - That's a great price, will have to check out Walmart this week.

Well off to make an early dinner 🙂

@newtonenterprises JIM D ... will probably have to forgo buying all the glass on the East Coast as I will definitely fly this time. My trips in one year driving to the East Coast and then to the West Coast satisfied all driving cravings. No more for a long long time. 😀
