been lurking and just wanted to say a big thank you to all

11 years ago

As I was browsing the aisles of my favorite GW, I realized I had developed an "eye" for certain dishes, linens, etc., thanks to your posts. I live in Calif and the Christmas items are very plentiful right now for some reason. Thanks to you, I was able to pick up some Italian glass chargers for 95 cents each which still had the price tags attached ($125 per). Thanks to your tutoring, I was able to recognize and appreciate what I saw before me!

Would someone please post again how to post pictures on the site. I was able to pick up quite a few very nice Christmas items and I wanted you all to see that the grasshopper had in fact learned from the masters.

Hey, it's never too early to think Christmas and, as they say, you have to strike while the iron is hot! Ha, ha!

Wow, what a find you made in those glass chargers! I can't wait to see photos of your new treasures.

You are so right, never to early to think Christmas. At least when shopping ;o) I'm not quite ready to think about the 'work' part of getting it all out! But its the first thing I notice in GW when they put it out.

Nice to have you back here.
hugs, Karen

Thanks, guys. I truly have and do fell your love and concern. There have been many late, sleepless nights when I came here for a much-needed visit. I would wrap your concern for each other around me like an old, familiar, bathrobe...fuzzy, comforting and stable. Again, thanks.

I want to thank you for the wonderful contribution you made to a post a few days ago -- well, maybe longer than that -- where you talked about tissue culturing and fertilizing. I've gone back to it several times to reread and absorb more. Your comments made me realize at least part of the reason Remember Me is such a disappointment; in an effort to have lots and lots available to sale as a breast cancer memorial, developers probably put way too much nitrogen on the plant. Last year I was given an RM with 5-6 eyes; this year it has only 1. Also made me think that an advantage of buying online is that the plants are usually shipped bare-root. If the plant were a recent tissue culture, the root system would be so tiny no one would ever buy from that supplier. I, for one, am glad you've become part of our world. Nance

Mara, welcome and good luck.. you have come to a very useful site for help. It's by far the best research tool I have found to help give clients an independent unbiased way to research and get opinions from a wide variety of people. Its only a part of the research you end up doing and need to do but it is a good one! Dont rule out aesthetics just because its small and functional. They are not mutually exclusive of one another.

You may be older than dirt, but never too old to learn! Me too! You guys inspired me to have DH run Turbotax with an IRA deposit for me and it did help. We put everything we could ($3000) in my IRA the week before we sent the tax money in. It is small, but it is something! In our household, DH is employed and has a good pension and lots of money in IRAs. I have just a bit, since I am a contractor and only started working 13 years ago. It is nice to have some retirement savings in my name.

Hi, swest2, welcome back.
The glass chargers were a lucky find.
I never find anything good at our local GW.
I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of them.
