• @gordon My mom helped bury 2 of her sons. Each of them was just 50 years old. The eldest son was killed in construction work accident. The other son who was 3rd from the youngest of her 8 sons died from a heart attack.
    Just a year ago our former grand-daughter-in law left 3 young adolescent children when she died from a drug overdose. With some professional counseling and lots caring from their dad , their step-mother and grandparents the children are doing well.

  • Bob @lookwhatbobfound - looks like you live somewhat near to where MIL lives. She lives in Leesburg & several in-laws live in Eustis. Have spent many enjoyable days down there. Almost bought home in Leesburg last Summer but changed mind after seeing park's monthly lot fee. $1K/ mo was a little steep IMHO.

    Shelly @shellyrae37 - Hi stranger ! Yes VOTE !!!! That's why I am now a certified Election Official !!

    Gordon @gordon - Likewise, I apologize !!! No more political jabs or statements !!!! This Board is too good to jeopardize.

  • @gordon ----- Thanks for the update on Black Cavier. Fantastic!!!
    After y’all get those packages to the post office ( Remember President's Day with limited USPS service on Monday.) Would you take a look at my glass horse? Another of those pieces that has been lingering in my inventory for far too long.

    Thanks for any ideas. Helen

  • @gordon ------ Very interesting . Let us see if this makes the US media.

  • http://www.chatroomboard.com update...

    @lookwhatbobfound ...spelling correction noted and fixed.

    @gordon ...I'll take you up on your offer. You will of course receive full credit for any articles you post. I'll give you and anyone else who is interested their own login with full "author" privileges, so you will be posting your own articles and they will have your name on it. You can either use a pseudonym, or your actual name...whatever you want.

    I still need pottery-related keywords and key phrases for the search engines, so if anyone would like to take a shot at that, please email them to me.

  • Yep @fyrqueen , we got the wind. Nearly blew me off the parking lot trying to get from car to store door at GW. Honestly, hen we were ready to leave I had DGD bring the car up to the door as I was having difficulty standing against that wind.
    Thanks @gordon , I shall just leave them at the store for some other person. They were priced low enough and enough of them that I might have bought them but there was only one cup and saucer.

    I am in need of a different type of ID this morning. Bought two of these Dept. 56 Snow Baby music boxes. Perhaps knowing the tune being played would help but I can't hear well enough to identify that either.

    I riffled through 100 or more at Replacements. Didn't see any that were a large as this one.
    We are off to the GW to pick up a couple of nice shelves. Just couldn't resist good shelving at $5 each. The merchandise is pouring into the GW stores here. Guess many people are clearing out to have space for the Christmas gifts. Bad economy----- not for some.
    TIA again .

  • @gordon ...what you saw was an accident. I should have the link in the sidebar shortly.

  • @trezchick Gayle and @gordon Gordon, Thank you both for looking and for the link Gordon.. I looked and it is the A-10E mark from late in the Co's history. I'm at my MIL's home and have no way to post a pic now. Will take a pic tomorow with my camera and post it Sunday nite or Monday when I get home.
    Thank you again for the help. So very kind of you both.

    Tony

  • If you're having jpg problems then try renaming the file to make all letters lowercase, including the .jpg at the end. An uppercase .JPG will cause problems for some inexplicable reason. (@trezchick and @gordon)

  • Helloo Sylva.
    My page has @gordon Mentions. If people mention me on this board uising the @ thingy, it will tell me.
    I've been mentioned on this board, but not with the @ thingy, so when I click on @gordon it says, "sorry, you have not been mentioned."
