Oldtex, from one Texan to another, welcome. Your name is just fine and I have found it very hard to find usernames with any variation of Texas in it. I have tried to use my TVCH name in other places and it and purt near any variation therof is already taken You have probably learned there are a lot of us here and if you frequent Billy Bob's it sounds like you may be in my part of the state.

RN, my dh did a wonderful job on the hardwood floors. he sanded and waxed and buffed. they look terrific for being 26 years old. i keep hoping the people who come today really love it enough to make an offer. it takes about 45 minutes to get from our house to hollister and i know a lot of people who commute there from here. it's over a pass, but it's 4 lanes and the speed limit is 65 mph, so it's not a bad commute at all. it's the people who have to go past hollister or gilroy into san jose and other silicon valley towns that have it tough. that extra 30-50 miles can be killer with all the traffic. ooooh, i screwed up bad yesterday. thank God there wasn't highway patrolman iin the area right then! i was coming off a freeway onto highway 101. i knew los angeles and south would be to the left and san francisco and north would be to the right, but i hadn't been on this stretch of road for a long time. at the last second, i see that only the far left goes to los angeles and i get into that lane just as i see the diamond shape that means it's a commuter lane including the hours i was there, and the lane i needed was the second lane...i was like, "oh shit!" and it's separated from the rest of the traffic by a 12 foot wide cement island. i wanted to crawl under the seat and die, but then there would have been no one visible, forget about not having 2 or more passengers. the lane ran alongside the other one for about 2 miles. finally, i pretended i was talking to a 'little person', although it probably just looked like i was singing along to the radio. if there's a song that goes, "oh shit! what am i gonna tell the cop? will he believe me that i just saw 'los angeles, left lane' and thought it's where i had to be? how much is the ticket these days?" as soon as the lanes weren't separated by cement anymore, i got over in the farthest lane to the right and crawled with some semi's for a while, so the people in the cars i had been with wouldn't glower at me!

Right now I am no longer an eBay virgin! I've actually posted a bid on an item and I'll tell you guys the outcome in a few days either way.

Right now congratulations, Coco, I love ebay. I always wait til the last couple of minutes to bid, though, so as not to attract people who will crank the price in advance of sale. Right now Colossus is stretched out on the couch, and Max is stretched on out his legs. They are both sleeping, but they are holding hands. Aw.

RN, Pamz & Native...with our state being so large, a bit over 100 miles away from Billy Bob's is just a short drive. Next month dh & I are going to Ft Worth for the Nascar Cup Race. He's a big fan and I'm a little fan. But this will be a "day trip" for us..a very very long day trip. Can you tell I'm so not excited. As long as it makes him happy it's worth it.

RN, no word on the house yet, but i still have good vibes. i hope we hear something positive today. coco, i am amazed you were an eBay virgin! (the only thing that would have surprised me more would be to have pamy say she is a virgin!!) i also wait until the last possible minute to put in a bid, so people don't know there's interest and the bidding might get too high, and also to win the item a lot of the time. let's say i see something that starts at 9.99 and there are no bids but a lot of people looking (most have counters at the bottom). i will bookmark that page and go back in a few times during the auction to see if it's getting any bids. if i will go to 20 dollars on it, i wait until there is about 1 minute left and then enter my bid, but i put 20.01, in case others put 20 dollars even. if no one else bids, i get the item for the listed starting price of 9.99. if others bid at the end like me, i might win the bid with anything up to my 20.01, or i might not win the item at all. if it's a 'buy it now' item and i really want it and think it's a fair price, i'll go ahead and just do it. i haven't had the money to do anything recently, but i am looking forward to being a buyer and seller on eBay as soon as we move. my eBay name is banos. poor irish! watching blue and magenta! for the millionth time? my dog is getting so well! his nose is barely running and he only sneezes or snorts a few times each day. he is loving and frisky and goes everywhere with us in the car--he loves the suburban because the back area is all his. it's like a playpen. he doesn't even climb over the seats like he does in the jetta or the bug. yep, he's king of the castle and even dh adores him! what a loved guy kendall is!

Tabby, Colossus and I picked up a mantle mirror for the bathroom from a seller in Ohio last week. She and her husband selll $12,000 per month on ebay out of their home. Kickback to ebay is 1,200.00 per month. She didn't say how much they invest in the estate sales they run around to, but even if it's more than half they're making a nice living off it. Right now I'm saying go for it.

RN, i have over 300 positive feedbacks on eBay. i used to sell all the time (late 90's, when they didn't have a dozen of everything out there to bid on!) one month, i made 935 dollars selling my kids' clothes. i sold a 'remember the maine' candy dish for 176 dollars. i had purchased it at a barn sale for either 5 or 10 dollars a few years earlier. i had in on for 5 bucks. all i wanted was to clear some of my clutter out! things went for a lot more in the early days, though... we even had our house listed on eBay in november. we did get a couple of people to the house who had seen us on eBay. latest on yesterdays' potential buyers. they saw 7 houses. their agent told ours that the lady loved our house the most and is talking to the husband--who wanted a bigger yard for gardening. well we have a 12x15 area near our log cabin with nothing but soil in it and a lot of other areas to grow things. i hope the wife wins out! i know my mom has always said that if a lady does not like the house, they aren't getting it. if it's the man who likes it less than the woman, or the woman loves it, they are getting that house! keeping my fingers crossed. those people are listing their house in hollister tomorrow, so they are serious about moving over here. just hope it's our house they choose...

Rn I just got my hair trimmed up by my dd. (By the way we were out side and it started to rain and it was so much fun) Then I took a really long hot shower. I use this time, when I can to reflect, Boy do I have a lot to reflect upon. DD calling me over to pimp out my hair - Have a fabulous Sunday.

RN, Steve and I just got home from my nephew's birthday party (he'll be 3 on the 27th). A whole afternoon filled with hyper kids running around screaming and od'ing on sugar - a great form of birth control!
