Wow -- nothing between Carma's morning greeting from yesterday and today's. Even Julie is AWOL. It's humid today -- supposed to get t'storms tomorrow which will call things off. We did get a lot of rain Sunday evening with some thunder (not enough to scare the cats down to the basement) so the garden is still looking good.

now with my code

this is using h2 as the code

Shelly @shellyrae37 Welcome Home

Curt @webmaster I also want to add my heartfelt THANK YOU for keeping this chat board up and running

We are still having rain; been a very wet Fall.

@webmaster Curt, where did the map go?

I just did some cataloging and organizing of my glass "addiction". Between EAPG, Carnival, Opalescent and a few blue milk glass pieces, I have about 150 different patterns "I collect". I have to do like Bob in Ky says, "I need to downsize". lol

I received a message today from a friend. They are putting their mother in a nursing home and selling off he her things They are giving me first dibs, so I am going to check it all out tomorrow.

I am loving the new board. As you all know I really struggled with tinypics , most times I gave up waiting for the pics to load, so I often missed out on seeing the treasures Thank you again Curt @webmaster

Susan @whodat111 oh my goodness, what very sad news. I remember Nancy from the old Ebay board 🙁 🙁 🙁

Julie

TINCEY... haven't seen you for a while and it's sure good to see you posting. Glad your booth is going good for you. My booths stay pretty slow.

I signed up with 11 Main and spent a ton of time in July and August working on the store. In August I moved out of the booth I had in a fleamarket over in Fairland, and just last week, I closed the 11 Main store. Just too much work all around me and just taking its toll. Decided I just had to slow the pace. Of course, until our Oktoberfest is over on Oct 11, it's still hectic, but in the meantime, I'm glad I don't have the responsibility of the fleamarket and the online store added to things.

It is SO fun and inviting to be able to see pictures posted...and I love this larger message box to write in too. Thanks again, CURT @webmaster

@webmaster CURT ... this is just a fabulous surprise! Thank you, thank you! I'm looking so forward to reading on how to work it.

CARL ... beautiful picture!

Busy day for me -- morning spent at synagogue (I help run services on Saturday morning), then a nice kayak paddle with DH through a marsh. Just got home from dinner out at a Japanese restaurant -- we're celebrating our wedding anniversary (44th -- I got married when I was still in college).

KATIE How nice you found something worth bringing home.. I forgot I also got a flat dish, not sure what to use it for but it was made in Italy, with various types of Wine Grapes Greens, Reds, & Purples.. Thought it appropriate for our Wine Country.. Might sell it at yard sale, maybe not..

JULIE the clue it "A Piece of Paper" I have wrapped things in newspaper before with plenty padding the bottom and wrapped several times with more paper, I know with all the paper it weighs more, but at the time, its all I had.. I only do that in emergencies and always shake the box to make sure no noises come from it..Remember life before Bubble Wrap.. 😉 I have even used the cotton batting for quilts or pillows before, and Egg cartons in a pinch.. There is a way to get the item there safely, some have no imaginations, They put too much trust in the PO.. We know better. Good Luck on your Excursion, hopefully its going to be better for you this week.

@donscns DON ... When you have time can you put CURT's instruction over on the the Class Chatroom Board Links where you put the Welcome Post and the Post a Picture Link?

Have to take the cat, Blue Moon, to the vet for her annual physical and shots this afternoon. Need to settle up on 2 malls, one which is out of town. May try to do part of it today...but I guess I could wait til tomorrow. I wanted to restock at the same time but I still haven't unpacked my buys from Wednesday.

Good morning to REEN, CARL, DON, GEORGE, and SHELLY!

@webmaster CURT ... just letting you know I still cannot log on when I'm on the "Home" tab. I have to go to the "Members" tab to log on.

HI to CARL, KATIE, and DON!

@sellingthings MARTY ... Are you confusing Chris's Pitcher with something else? Waterford made a lot of pitcher shapes.. http://search.replacements.com/texis/search?order=ClientCount-d&query=waterford%20+pitcher

@webmaster CURT ... thanks for all your help.

@reen REEN . the triangular shape on is HICKMAN aka LA CLEDE aka JUBILEE made by McKee Brothers (1897) then by Federal Glass Co. (1914)

HI to MARSON and CARL!

@fran2 FRAN2 or ANY Glassie... would love to be Facebook friends. My name is Gail Morrison Curley. The picture looks nothing like this one. I could not get this one to change because it ends in JPEG not JPG. CURT @webmaster ... is there anyway I can change my picture? Seems I can only get it from my computer which is JPEG. If I save my pic on Auctiva it saves it as a JPG but no way to get that from there to here that I know of.

Well, off to look at the flea market stuff. Oh woe is me, as I'm just not to keen on the thought of packing up a lot of stuff I can't use and then trying to find a place to put it once I get home with it. On the bright side, it will be very good to see my old friend as it's been several years since we got together. Use to be old domino playing buddies. 🙂

@donscns DON ... Curt's birthday didn't show up on the right-hand column because he doesn't have his birthdate listed on his profile page here in the Glass chatroom... Hear that Curt, @webmaster? 😆

@webmaster CURT ... So glad to hear you had a enjoyable day!

@carma CARL ... I went to my son's FB page and he has that horrible timeline and I had to look all over to figure out where to post my message. 🙂

@itsagas BILL ... Snow is most lovely when you are looking at a picture of it. Sure don't want any of the real thing here. How much are you all forecast to receive?

@webmaster CURT ... I'm from Oklahoma so I barely speak translatable English, much less write it. I nominate @enchantmentglass KELLI to write something as she writes great auction listings. I also nominate @carma CARL and @george gabla GEORGE to provide keywords. I nominate any glassie brave enough to volunteer!

Bob ... I've looked high and low for your creamer. It looks so familiar to me, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... so sorry to hear of your friend's passing. ((((HUGS))))

@webmaster CURT ... thanks as always for all your help.

IreneM @jmart8248 Happy Anniversary
Shelly @shellyrae37 I rarely go out of my way hunting for things these days.I have more then enough here to keep me in stock for the swaps for quiet a number of years yet.And all I do is keep the number of tubs I have, filled with items. I can fit a certain amount of tubs in the van and that number is also what is easy for me to handle & unpack & repack on my own.So when I empty the van in the next few days the empty tubs will come inside and I will gradually fill them with my own items ready for the next one.
Bob @glassusa Congratulations on your sale
@webmaster Thanks for letting us know about the birthday feature you have done for us.Looking forward to seeing how it actually works. Thanks for all the work you put into this board for us.
Julie

@jmart8248 IRENE M and @carma CARL ... Always appreciate anyone's offer to help, but I agree that if anything were to be done it should be through our @webmaster CURT who knows the inner workings and what is best for this website.

@webmaster ... I think Dave and others are correct in wanting new glass collectors to be able to find us. Since you created this website and IT IS A BEAUTIFUL WEBSITE 🙂 you know the ins and outs of it and how directing traffic here would work best, so I vote for you to consider it and see what can be done.

And for folks enjoying this website just a wee reminder that on the right hand side of the screen one can contribute to the Webmaster's COFFEE FUND. 😀

@jmart8248 IRENE M ... I think we will probably always be discussing eBay here. Consider that we did not "leave" eBay...instead eBay "kicked us out." The reason we all came together in the first place was due to us selling on eBay. I really like this Chat better because most of us are on-line sellers and here we can talk about ALL the venues...eBay, Ruby Lane, Bonanza, Amazon. But e-commerce on-line buying and selling (mainly GLASS 🙂 ) are at the heart of what we are all about.
