OK, it's official... I am JEALOUS!

When I was a kid, me and my GFs would tell each other "I HATE you!!" when we were jealously happy for whatever reason. And that was one of the first things I thought as I salivatated over your most fantastic finds. The first pic, all I thught was, 'Hmm, I don't like her." But then as I scrolled down and each pic saw more drool dripping from my mouth, that feeling of dislike grew and grew to monstrous proportions!!! HAHAHAHA

God Bless you, GP!!! You hit the GS mother load!!! I really am happy for you. Jealous, but happy! ;-)

A Garage Sale Where Everything Was 50 Cents!!!!

I just had to post here...I have several (more like tons!!!!!!) of old glass jars just like that and even an old white tub like that...WHAT are you going to do?!?!?! I have been a member since my DH and I bought our old house and grounds. I used to be really active on here and then life just got too busy. We're working on building a large (HUGE!) rock wall around our house and that will be a new flower bed for me to play in! I'm going to make tipsy pots this weekend because I ADORE the ones I've seen! But I would love to do something with the old jars, too....I'd love ideas!!!! Thanks to everyone for their creativity and ideas. For those of us that lurk, like me, it is fantastic that you take the time to share your pointers, finds, pics, and instructions. Copy-Kat, ~k

IF your neighbor was having a garage sale, would you go?
Q

Well it turned out DH read the sign at the bottom of the street wrong and it was not the next door neighbor's house but one further up the street. We all walked up there, including DH, DS and dog. Tip to self: Don't take DH with me next time. What a pill he was, "we don't need that, we are suppose to be saving money not spending it" etc. DS and the dog were more fun and we met a lot of the neighbors we hadn't seen in awhile. We all live on 2-5 acres so don't see each other much. And it turned out to be estate sale because the very old man (90 YO maybe) who lived there had a stroke and was going to a nursing home. He pretty much kept to himself and only met him once maybe in 22 years. The wife was nice but she died 5 or more years ago. I wanted to buy some of her watercolors of the yacht harbor but that was when DH started going on and on about money, and where would we hang it, blah, blah blah. Most all of the good stuff was gone by the time we got there in the afternoon except for the watercolors. It was kind of sad too to see someone's life laid out for everyone to pick through. Clare

Need advice regarding jealous grandparents.
Q
Comments (6)
Talk about the situation with your husband. Develop your own position as unified parents of the child in question (and as your own family unit). This is so that you and he are going to reinforce each other _even_ when there might be 'jealous feelings' or whatever on the part of the grand adults. They might naturally feel closer to you or to him and might then try to go to one or the other of you when they feel slighted or hurt. It's one thing to soothe them because hurt feelings hurt, but they shouldn't get to vent anger over your (either of your) partner's decisions to you. People just have feelings. Everyone is an individual and their brains and moods are all wired together just a touch differently. They might feel jealous. If they have strong feelings they don't like or which they notice are not conducive to the kinds of human/family relations they want to enjoy and maintain then they should seek counseling on their own behalf so that they can improve their situation. There isn't really anything you can do about their painful feelings. You can be as diplimatic as you like. Maybe they don't realize it, if they get to sounding like your child's presence is an object for which they all must compete. Gently asking if they mean to sound that way can give them a chance to explain what it is they are intending to sound like. On the phone you can enforce your own limits about any venting you will listen to before hanging up (they can be invited to call back when they can speak in a civil/communicative manner without venting). Just be prepared if you set a limit, to enforce it consistently and repeatedly (they will probably 'test' this new situation). Issues between or within the grandparents are between or within them, and not you. Try to pull yourself out when/if they try to put you in the middle. An example of this which could be going on is a 'jealousy' of proximity. The grass always appears greener someplace else. All the grandparents undoubtedly love the grandchild and want what's best for that child and their family. If some grandparents live a lot closer, that's something grandparents who live further away might envy or feel jealous about. It can seem like the closer ones could or can always do anything and be close without even having to plan. That may or may not be reality, but when living further away and wishing to live and to be closer, it feels like something that could be going on... when stressed, maybe it feels like something that _must_ be going on. People who are depressed sometimes tend to thinking and feeling in this way. If any of the grands could be experiencing depression they need help and advice from their doctors. identify what you know, in terms of the facts and try not to interpret (go through the sequences of events as they occurred and as they occur rather than ascribing 'jealously' because there could be a lot of other things going on); then identify how you feel about the different things; talk to the pairs of grandparents individually or together (individually allows you to personalize the same basic info, but together illustrates for everyone in a tangible way just how equal every one is)... the most important thing though is for you and your partner to be solid and clear between yourselves as the parents (and family with your child)

Well, since you've already found Wal-mart it looks like you've seen it all -lol! Let's do get together! I live in the historic district downtown so you aren't too far away. Thanks for looking for the label by the way. You don't happen to live in the Tallahassee area do you? My nieghbors are moving to FL when their house here sells and I believe they are looking in that general area for a home. Nancy

WOW, Those are some amazing deals you got! Hmmmm is envy and jealousy the same thing? Maybe I should spend a day next week end doing YS's in VB. I have to go to the outlet mall in 2 weeks so I can plan a whole day to cruise the yard sales of VB. The ones in my area should be gearing up in 4 - 6 weeks because the College students will be splitting for the summer. Usually all kinds of good things then.

Ok, I'll say it, "I HATE YOU!" lol! You can't beat the price of that fountain with a big stick! Those bug boots are cute enough to kiss and so is that bunny lamp. I agree with bright199, the shepherds hook look great as is. Love the little bird cage too. What wonderful finds! So even though I HATE YOU, I thank you for sharing! he-he
