Hi to all the NewBee Pottie Friends.. Going to check out the Glass Board.. Hope you all make this site active again, Will check back Soon..

This was Max's user name.. inmax Active 1 year, 6 months ago
Good morning to all. What a mess I seem to have caused. Thank all of you for thinking and being so concerned. My computer just gave up on me and finally got repairman in after the hurricane, Ended up being wiring on outside of house.

RIP MAX, I will miss her emails, we have lost so many friends along the way.. I bet there would be quite a list of long lost Ebay Friends..

Please take care of yourself.. Like Mike would have wanted you to do, he is at last at peace, pain free.. Sometimes such a blessing for those who leave us.. BUT We Miss THem So..

So said about Susan, I do hope where ever she is she is comfortable and at peace too..

Well Katie I suppose helping your friend keeps you out of trouble too huh?
Marson what have you been up too.. Are you working at that Thrift store, I think thats what you said you were doing, last year.. I'd want to take everything home, one reason I never volunteered..

Just peeking in, time to go off to bed.. I like to read a few chapters, Just got 4 new books, by Sandra Brown.. I liked her books.. You all take care.. Shelly

Good News for you to be selling so many interesting things and they are out for someone else to enjoy now.. I pray you and Mike are doing as good as can be expected for him.. How is he doing? and Your Hanging in there?

Shame we never heard of Susans outcome and no one to tell us. Take care.. Shelly

We have been getting snow for the last 3 days and right now it let up but suppose to start tomorrow again.. I think we have about 8" except where the wind has piled it up to 12" I think its suppose to warm up to teh 20* next week.. Our water froze in downstairs bathroom so we are leaving that on a slow drip..

Bout bed time, into a James Patterson Book, about 2/3 through.. Pretty good.. I woke up last night and read for 1.5 hours.. than back to sleep..
I went out the day the snow started and spent over 200.00 on groceries I figured it would hold us until it lets up..

Take care.. Stay warm.. That snow is coming down out of the North it probably hit you before it hit us, we are on the other side of Lake Erie.. Sometimes it protects us, then other times, it dumps on us.. But not as bad as Buffalo.. LOL

Glad you found out that much, I always figured years ago, I should have been a detective.. Now you too.. Too bad we are not younger.. LOL
Will check back in a few days..

I took the bird feed out about mid-afternoon yesterday & heard something in the leaves. Took a good look & saw 3 deer on the east side of the ravine. I'd been worried since I haven't seen any deer in quite some time. Zac tells me we have coyotes moving into the area. I haven't seem or heard any but when I'm reading (which is most of the time) I lose track of the outside world.

Have a Great Holiday Katie, and anyone else peeking in..

So sad to hear SUSAN is MIA She may now be in the Nursing Home with Bear.. Too bad her claimed Nieces could not give us a response.. or Neighbor.. I already told my son, to respond here if I should pass.
The way things are going I might outlast them.. I am trying to hold it all together and be strong for them..

I keep telling Terry, we should go get a will done, and make funeral arrangements so they are not stuck with it.. I have some insurance, but he doesn't, says there is enough money there to take care of it.. Thats money I would have to live on, should I out live him.. If not when he passes whats left goes to the kids.. ALL 6 of Them..

Hoping all take the immediate things taken care of.. Don't do as we do..

Well things are not good with my sons either.. Oldest one told he probably has a year left, due to his kidneys.. He will know more on the 20th.. 3rd son, will have one of his kidneys removed in Feb.. Doc thinks its cancerous.. Than of Course 4th son with his COPD and Cancer in his Lungs, is tired of fighting it all.. Doing Oxygen 24/7. We did move him downstairs so he does not have to climb stairs anymore if he wants to get up and about at all.. At least he can reach the refrig. & microwave if he wants anything.. #2 Son is still battling some after effects from the Covid, but he says he is fine. Since he lives in Ga. I guess I have to take his word.

Friday is my BD and I am taking my friends out to lunch.. since I have so many gift cards we have not used..
Suppose to be good weather, going to take advantage of it.. Its beautiful out today also.. So much going on in this world of ours, its hard telling what tomorrow brings..

Take care Katie, I can we can count Susan out huh? Shame no one can let us know whats going on with her..
Take care, Be Safe..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARILYN.. WHEREVER YOU ARE!

Hmm maybe I should call a dealer.. I called about getting an appt. to take things to the Auction House, they are booked up for all of Oct. and closing down for the winter months.. So I will have to keep it all packed away here or find another outlet..

I am presuming you never were able to contact SUSAN either huh? Sad, I hope she is somewhere improving in health.. Take care Katie..

Any luck hearing from or about SUSAN?

Well I hope you have better luck getting ahold of Susan then I had.. Concerned she could be in a nursing home, or worse.. wish we had asked her if we could contact her neighbor or niece, if she seemed to have vanished..

Your Mom must have been a good cook.. Me not so much, BUT my Mother was too.. She could fix Rabbit and it tasted like Chicken.. Tho she cooked liver and I Never liked that.. BUT I did find out a few years ago from a friend who was an expert at fixing Venison Liver.. He said teh secret was soaking it in Milk.. he gave me a taste because he knew I did not like it, and I was surprised, it tasted pretty good, but I am still not eating it.. I am not fond of the idea of eating organs of any animal..

Have a good week.. Take care of yourself and Mike..

Will check in later..

Nice your son got his things out of your Garage, one less worry for you..
I have a garage full of tools that belong to my son, Not sure what he wants done with those.. I know he has sold a few things here and there.

SUSANS email.. WhoDat.. ls here.. let us know if you get a reply..

whodat111sb@gmail.com

My GS is here staying for a short time, I think. He is looking for a house to by, with some land.. Wishing him well.. He just moved back home here from South Dakota.. Has to be better here then there, I am thinking..
He is my sons son, who is also here living with us, and still going thorugh his Cancer treatments Twice a month.. he is so Thin, and not all that interested in Eating, but I try to keep after him, he has to eat something, but is trying to stick to Gluten Free, Foods.. No Bread.. Gluten Free Breadk, is tasteless he says.. I just bought Barillas Pasta tonight that is Gluten Free, So he can eat that.. He loves Pasta.. He is eating a lot of seafood, the Reg. Pasta and Bread & Red Meats play havoc with his Arthritis so he is trying to eat healthy and thus far it seems to be beneficial.. Before his joints would swell up twice thier size and very painful.. He has Both kinds of Arthritis, thats where the problem lies..

So have been busy here.. Will try to stop back in, in a few days/weeks. Would really like to know how SUSAN is doing.. and pray she is OK.. You Too Katey, and Mike..

take care

Yes I hear you Katie, I am sure there is a lonely dog out there somewhere looking for a Forever Home.. I hope you find him while Mike and You, are still able to enjoy him/her.. Good luck on getting rid of stuff.. I keep seeming to acquire more stuff.. Tied up right now trying to sell and sort Jewelry my friend gave me, so her husbands family did not get it.. Made about 3000.00 off of it thus far..

Storm knocked out my PC internet, and my phone is full of static, Thursday night.. Verizon will be here Tomorrow morning to fix it for good, I hope.. Internet has been intermittent but phone constantly noisy, with static..

How are you folks doing. ok. Do you and Mike get out much.. any new prospects for another Dog?
Surely that would brighten up both of your lives.. Nothing like a toddler or a pet to brighten up your days..

Worried we have not heard anything from SUSAN.. Pray she has recovered..

I heard from MAX, she is just now starting to get the rest of her repairs done after that Hurricane last spring was it?

Sons are still holding their own with their Cancer diagnosis, one worse then the other, but he and I are planning a trip to visit a friend next week after his next treatment if he is feeling up to it.. Just for a change of scenery and to get him out of the house..

You folks all take care..

KATIE, So by the time you get to read this, maybe you will have a new addition to the family.. Is the new guy the same breed as BOSS was? I hope he is gentle and loveable.. Let us know how well he behaves.. Hoping Mike loves him too. and that he is doing better.

SUSAN,. Another thought, IF YOU DO HAVE WELL WATER, be sure to mention it to your neighbor you could both be on the same water line, and his well would need treated as well, since you are both so close.. Hope your feeling better by now.. and get back here soon..

My company is all gone, home for family get together.. Next Month is my Mothers family reunion and my other son from Florida will be home.. He could not make it this past week for a family get together as his wife had cataract surgery.. Looking forward to seeing him too..

Thats All Folks!

My Dear Life time Friend Down state, Just told me her husband is going into hospice, Glad I called her, but I am sure she did not get much sleep last night. or. until she adjusts to the new idea.. She is dreading telling his children as they will blame it on her..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEON, Hope it is a wonderful day for you.

I hope everyone else is doing fine here.. Tho makes you wonder when they no longer post..

Hope the Pneumonia is all gone on those suffering, and Pray Mike is improving..
SUSAN wishing you well. How is the flowers, fish & birds doing in your back yard?
KATIE, Thats wise to get a young man to help with your Pruning.. I have a flower garden fast becoming a jungle..
Not sure if you know what lucust trees are but they are hard to kill they get thorns on them too, so hard to handle or extract.. Even when cut down the roots sprout up all over the place, and they found a home in my flower garden, soon to be a jungle.. or forest. Our guy who cuts teh grass is so busy, he does not have time, no idea what to do about the jungle.. Also the Ground Hogs have made holes all over it, especially under the propane tank.. No idea how to rid them.. Terry use to shoot them before we got the propane tank, but now too close to the tank to chance shooting them.. Can you imagine the big explosion. and Emergency vehicles being dispatched here..

Well better days ahead.. Have to take Terry to VA on thursday to have cataracts removed. one at a time.. but it gives me 3 hours to figure what to do while waiting for him.

You all take care.. Shelly

We are doing ok here.. Son just finished his Radiation treatments and 2 more Chemo treatments before they start his Infusions.. His Throat & Back are so burned, from radiation its hard for him to eat or sleep.. His hair has gotten thin, but still covers his head, I guess it was a good thing he had a thick head of hair.. But he is toughing it out.. I want to hug him, for being so brave.. but last time I touched his back it hurt him..

Hope all is well with the rest of you out there in Pottie land..

Hey to SUSAN, MARSON, is there anyone else left out there? Wish there was a way to advertise this Chat board on Ebay.. Come to think of it, IS there a Community Board for Ebay?

I hope all are well here.. and getting more of those warm breezes blowing through, its going to be warm here through Sunday up to mid 70s the rest of this week, and than next week down to the 40s & 50s.. We surely will be glad when Mother Nature quits teasing us.. All My daffodills are blooming and the Forsythias, the Lilacs just starting to green up a little..

KATIE, Never heard of a Gum Ball Tree.. are they colorful as well as a Nuisance ? Sorry they are a mess. would it help to have that tree cut down, and plant a new more practical tree, maybe a flowering tree? We too had some pretty horrific winds and rains the other day out of the West, but must have left all the hail for you.. Sad about all the bad weather causing so much Havoc in others lives.. and for most, so hard to rebuild.. Even if they have Insurance, like those in Fl. Hurricanes, the Insurance Companies not all that fast in helping to get the problem resolved.. Glad your windows did not break.. We had a few limbs down, but many lost trees and some homes that they fell on.. we were lucky here..

Take care all..

SUSAN, Hope you up and around and taking care of all your critters, and posies.. you probably have a lot blooming by now.. Enjoy the sunshine.. I hope your doing well and you have some sales to keep you busy..

Found Some Candle holders that go with my Haviland China, that I hardly ever use any more and never used the Candle Holders so sold them on Ebay.. 50.00 I was happy. Now have one of the Glass Pieces my friend gave me when I was down there last Nov.. A Viking Red Long Tail Bird.. got a bid for 75.00 ending in ah Hour.. So will probably be shipping that off..Wish we had good ole bidding wars like the old days.. I did not realize those Viking Birds were so sought after, they do not seem all that scarce..

Well Over and Out.. Need to respond to Max email.. You Gals all take care, if any Guys are peeking in, Unless we lost them all.. We now know Gordon & Bob are gone and I believe Wes & Ken are also gone.. Well I am not ready, when its time I will go kicking and screaming.. I am Not Ready.. Be Back Soon..

KATIE, Good to see you too.. My daffodils or anything else has not even started to sprout yet.. Not enough sunshine I guess.. I will give them another month.. It says we can plant summer bulbs now, but I am not so sure.. I do have a lot on my plate Katie, but it happens, I just keep praying the Treatments my youngest is getting will save teh bell.. The Doc did say yesterday that the Mass on his one lung is breaking up.. So I hope it continues. The Doc was pleased.. On a positive note, I took my Grand daughter out to lunch today for her BD.. She is talking of moving back to Fl. with her Daughter and DD Fiance.. They do not like the snow.. LOL Oh well, I will enjoy them while I can.

Got an email from Max Still has not gotten a lot of satisfaction from the Insurance Co. for the damage done during the hurricane.. She says some INS. Co. going out of business..
I believe it too.. Can you imagine in Miss. where a whole town was wiped out.. Sad, and I pray this next weather pattern is not a repeat of last week.. Praying God is watching out over them.. So sad..

Closing up, its been a long day.. You all take care..

Happy to hear You are making some ocassional sales.. Nice to see some things go and money coming in. Ebay sales are not coming that quick, slow better then nothing..

MIKE, still doing ok? I hope.. You ALL take care Here.. Will check in later in the week..

My Grandkids are coming in Monday, I just pray they have safe trips here.. 2 are driving and one is flying, he will get a rental when he gets in. My son who lives with us, is pretty bad, he starts on Radiation on Monday for a month, then he starts on Chemo for 5 weeks.. Every day, except weekends, for 2 months.. the bad part he has to drive into Erie, Pa. for those days about 40 miles RT.. Sometimes its all he can do, to get out of bed in the morning, let alone dressed to go out. He is very tired, eats very little, his Arthritis is really acting up, Swollen joints and painful too. Arthritis Doc did give him a Cortisone shot when he went in the other day, hasn't helped much, Doc said he does not know what to give him, not knowing how it will react with his treatments.. I pray he gets through this.

I see Susan must be busy in her Garden, transplanting and feeding the Fish & the Birds.. I surely hope her weather is co operating for her..

Haven't heard from Max in a few weeks, I hope she is doing ok, and the Insurance people are helping her get the work done on their house.

Heard from Reen a few weeks ago, She did not have much to say, but did say, the Experimental Drugs, Gil was taking are no longer available at reduced rates for them.. So that is a worry.. He was doing so good on it too..

Nothing else going on here, except as usual I am still trying to get organized before the kids get here.. One is driving in from So.,Dakota, one from Fl. and one flying from Norfolk..

Well I better save some news for the next time..

Katie you take care and so glad to hear you are both better, just stay that way..
