@wellingtonct LAURIE ... hope you get a new computer soon. Sounds like yours is just about dead. The jerky/tender dog treats have been all in the news and was just watching it this morning. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/tainted-dog-jerky-treats-linked-hundreds-pet-deaths-fda-article-1.1493818

HI REEN, JULIE, DON CARL, GEORGE, SUZY, and WENDY!

@jmart8248 IRENE M ... I, too, continue to have off and on troubles with logging in. Curt's been working with the techies to try to get it working smoothly. He's asked us to keep him posted on any difficulties we might have.

@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... Seems it's always been JULIE and FRAN who have tried to maintain contact with MaryPat. I remember at one time they both had trouble trying to get in touch with her. Seems her DH health was really poor and she was doing poorly too.

@glassusa BOB ... how in the world do you get so lucky to come across a pair of everglades. I've never even seen them in person, only in books. They are gorgeous.

@jmart8248 IRENE M ... How beautiful all the flowers must be and it really sounds grand that you have a porch where you can relax and enjoy them.

@sjell BETTY ... always enjoy seeing you check into the Chat.

@panishklo MARSON ... thanks for all the chocolate! I surely enjoy it! 🙂

@mainewildrose SUE ... so glad you were able to ID the Heisey for Diane. I'm at a loss when it comes to what I call the Colonial patterns. I printed out what you posted. Thanks!

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... glad your weather is turning so nice and your swap meets will be starting up again. Always enjoy your adventures with traveling and your markets.

@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... It was my little East Coast Washington D.C. granddaughter who broke her arm. As you can tell in the picture, she was very proud of her new bright pink cast...the doctor let her pick the color. http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/4/4/3/3/6/9/webimg/665407292_o.jpg

@dianes DIANE … that is a lovely Three Panel berry set…yes, by Richards & Hartley #25, ca. 1885...and it has NOT been reproduced. Haven’t had time to check your CHS.

@fyrqueen KATIE … you just wear me out with all your yard work and work about the house. Picking up a rag to wipe dust off the piano is a big deal for me.

@wellingtonct LAURIE ... would love to see pics of your green pitcher and your milk glass "thing". 🙂 Glad your snow is melting.

@george GEORGE ... hope you and your DW are doing well.

@donscns DON ... will you have a summer break before long? Or do you also have summer classes for your wee souls?

More coffee needed. I will take a photo later and show you all the blanket that is taking up all my time...whether you want to see it or not. 😀

@suzy SUZY … Hoping maybe sometime in May to get down to Jenks. Look forward to seeing your new booth.

@wellingtonct LAURIE … Hi, there. Think you may have me confused with JULIE/wattleihavenext regarding the tiny pics. She was having trouble with it loading and had some way to shorten the time. I’m sure she will try your system too.

@shanigirl RUTH … I have 5 granddaughters and 2 grandsons. Grandkids are just the greatest. Too sad that I live so far
away from them and seldom see them.

HI to CARL and DON!

@wattleihavenext JULIE … The Steamfest sounds like great fun and very interesting. Do you attend?

@wellingtonct LAURIE … Good to see you. Hope all is well.

@dianes DIANE … Oh, I wish I could help you as that is just a gorgeous vase, but I haven’t a clue.

@carma CARL … glad to know it might be the internet and not my computer. I finally shut the computer off and went out and ran errands. Finally got back on and got my items listed.

@10bbg10 HELEN … sure been a while since you posted and was starting to worry about you. Glad to see you posting.

HI to CHRIS, GEORGE, MARSON, KATIE, FENTON, and SHELLY!

Wonderful day yesterday with DD(lunch and shopping) and darling 4 yr old DGD.

CARL- glad you are feeling better. This has been a winter full of "bugs" around here. Enough is enough. Most annoying are perky weather "meteorologists" on TV .

Have a good one all. I must go and get something done. Nancyjean

Lots of catching up to do today.

Janice

@fran2 FRAN2 .. I was trying to figure it out what crushed the Bear Box in that manner. I posted it on the GPSA forum and someone said it was probably the blade from a fork lift that caught it. I think they were probably right.

Good morning, GEORGE!

Julie , I'm sure your weather will be more agreeable in a couple of days while we have more and more cold weather to look forward to.
Helen in Indy

Had worked on Fixed Price listing much of today. Then much later I worked on deleting images form Auctiva. Can't always find them when I know they must be there.

Later we went to a birthday party for a great grandson. Eleven year old boys have lots of energy. But a very pleasant dozen or so youngsters. And had a pleasant visit with family members that i jhad not seen in a few weeks.

@wellingtonct -- Laurie, It is about time you showed up. Nice to know that you are still navigating. Well she showed up on the Book Board.

@gailmacphee Gail Mac, Maybe the colored tickets will encourage dealers to move their stuff around from one mall to another.

Still it is fun to reminisce about what 'used to' sell---- hickory and oak furniture and even a spot there when mahogany furniture sold well. I really have no idea what kind of furniture is selling now. And then there was two of my favorites ---granite ware and teddy bears,

Time for my bed and book. I'm really ready for it tonight.

@wellingtonct Laurie, It seems that each person who has the 1901 copy says theirs is a 1st Edition. One seller claims to have green full leather board and says that his is a 1st. Another says green cloth and that his is a 1st. My copy happens to be black half leather with green floral paper. I don't know. I marked mine "First Edition ?" The publisher is not listed in my Bill McBride First Editions so I have nothing to go on except what other sellers are claiming. I think the best part of mine is that it is in such good condition. The leather is worn but that paper is still almost glossy.

We'll see. But thanks for researching it.

@wellingtonct LAURIE ... sure hope things start settling down for you soon.

HI to MARSON!

@charper99 CHAR ... thanks for the heads-up on Curt's birthday. Will bake a cake in just a minute! 😀

@amber1986 AMBER ... I live in a relatively small town, pop. 6,400. But most towns are at least 15-20 miles away and always wide-open space between. I do love Oklahoma.

@ohiostar FENTON ... absolutely gorgeous glass! Congratulations on such lovely finds!

@wellingtonct LAURIE ... behave yourself! You know better than to over-do like that! 🙂 Do hope you are feeling better soon.

HI to JULIE, NANCYJEAN, DON, SHELLY, and BETH!

And Hello all!

@abzoid Toby, I enjoyed those pics of your fabulous blue collection. The last ones of the overflow, looks like you have possibly a glowy vaseline glass plate in there? And those lovely pink glasses/stems? Welllll I have to say that they really don't go well with the blue so I think you should just send them to me as I collect ALL colors and I'm sure I can squeeze those in somewhere here 😉

@wellingtonct LAURIE ... gad, I'd slit my wrist if I had to go to that much trouble to get a vehicle. Glad I only need a little ole grandma auto to putz around with. Good news that you found one you are pleased with. Hope it continues to work well for you.

I'm so tired I'm going to go collapse on the bed. Good night to all.

@wellingtonct LAURIE ... hope you are feeling better after the Chiro treatment.

@gailmacphee GAIL ... pretty vase but, as Toby said, can't see the honeycomb pattern.

@wellingtonct LAURIE ... so glad to see you are mending so quickly. LOL @ the Toffee. The good thing about the morning cyber-beverage, it can be anything you want it to be! 😀

Here is an interesting site that will help.... http://www.vaselineglass.org/

@reen REEN ... continued prayers for your friend. So very sad.

Been busy all day and have arranged for an electrician to come tomorrow to work on some stuff. Also a tree fellow is coming to cut down several trees. In the meantime, I think I have to call the plumber as my bathroom heater has gone whacko. Will be another busy day tomorrow. Best get some sleep for now. Good night to all.

The Quarters & Dimes were 90% silver through 1964. After 1964, no silver in them at all, just copper clad.

@fran dbfrogs FRAN ... So glad that the surgery will not entail the degree of complexity and recovery time that the first surgery did. I know it will still be difficult but hopefully you will have a speedy recovery from it.

@wellingtonct LAURIE ... sorry for the residual problems you've had over the years from the car accident. Wishing you the best of continued recovery and I put you in my nightly prayer list.

@reen REEN ... hope you and DH are having a delightful time at the show today and good luck with sales! and @wattleihavenext JULIE ... wishing all the same to you at your swap meet today!

Just sold an item....eBay notice shows a Florida address...PayPal notice shows and Australia address. No note from the Buyer where to ship it which is a shame as I could have it to the Post Office in an hour. I sent her and eBay email, but if I don't hear from her soon, it will probably mean I won't be able to mail her item until Monday.

Now time to cook some breakie and then I must MOW the lawn again. It was only done on Monday(Today is Friday) And then to finish packing the van. Not much left to go in.
Julie

@wellingtonct LAURIE ... I didn't realize you were ill. I surely do hope you get to feeling better soon!
