now YOU stepped in it

you are a piece of work, OA

YOU are a handful. (I noticed it...chose to ignore it rather than give kudos and then kh goes and blurts it out. Yes...I hand out tests (so sick of testing!)...and yours ARE more fun...mainly because they don't involve phonemic segmentation though.

thank god. no crystal bears and princess tantrums

It is a test of sorts. Discerning minds notice ambiguity and consider all possibilities. I,m sure you hand out plenty of tests. Mine are more fun! :)

You're so much nicer than me. I yell.."STOP THE SQUEALING!" (By the way...the baby is a boy. Whew!)

Ok then...

It was slightly ambiguous...He likes to do that.

Why my dear, whatever are you talking about? I'm thinking I stepped in it again. :)

can't squeal in mine either! famous line in my house (everyone mimics me) "are we being quiet?"

ok, for some reason I'm reading this with a different intent :o

No I don't.

Yeah, but you have to give the dog a bone!

...what a dumb song.

Funny! I remember that a little differently... :)
But then again, This old man never played one...

Exactly! Dusting bla. One person's junk is another man's treasure...(and I smile all the way to the bank). You can run through my house too...and flail your arms...and jump up and down.... just don't squeal. (Are we offending all the nic nac patty wackers in here?)

I know. photos are not knick knacks. crystal bears mean glass shelves which are ugly, mean shelves and bears dusted weekly, mean no little kids running through the house (you're allowed to run through my house), mean all of a sudden people think you like bears and so you get 1000 different bears, when really you liked crystal or vice versa.
knick knacks set precedents. there oughta be a law

The bear wasn't little. lol (And the nick nack thing is lost on me as well. If it's not handmade by someone I love I have no desire to put it on display...same with wall art. Lucky for me my Mom and Grandma are/were artists. I do have a thing for old photographs of ancestors though.)

who would pay 600for a little crystal bear?! sometimes I am blown away by knick knack desires of people!
I get the Madeline book, though

I once bought a Swarovski crystal bear for 2 bucks...sold it for 600.00.... and an old Madeline book for a dime and sold it for 156.00. (Got 'em both at garage sales though, not a a thrift store...)

that is amazing. Ill bet that happens to LS all the time thrifting. :)
hey, Eskslo, go check out my post on Hayek-I think you'll like the blog and you both have something in common
