O&I auction was Wish list

Golden Kite also has a ton of them for sale, but not a copy of my favorite painting of his, "Temptation". Actually, I've never seen any website that does reproductions that has done this one, so if anyone knows of a site that does, please clue me in. www.oddsandinsonline.com has it. You can download it in a couple of different ways or you can have it sent by snail mail. Not affiliated etc etc. Eimear Ordered!! THANK YOU!! :-) Jinx Well I just did something totally stupid! I *thought* oddsandinsonline seemed familiar. Well as I was out running errands after ordering, I wondered if I had an account using a previous email that I lost some time ago to phishing. When I got home, I tried logging in using that old email, and what do you know, I have an old account with them. Not only that, but I had bought this exact same pattern from them in 2005. Dumb! Well maybe not totally, because I have no idea where that pattern or any of the others I ordered back then would be now. I built this computer from scratch last year, so I'm sure they were saved on some backup file somewhere that I never put onto this new computer. Oh well! Now I'll just have to keep better track of this one. Sad part is, this isn't the first time I've bought the same pattern twice. I've got a stack of them to put up on eBay sometime before I move at the end of the month. Jinx Just so that you know, Jinx; there is an auction site on O&I. If you scroll down the tools section on the right you will come across the Auction. There are about 700 items on there right now, all being sold at a cheap price by other stitchers, including me! (username gillianm). It is a good way to acquire things cheaply, and get rid of excess stash. You have to sort out the wheat from the chaff; the good thing is that there is no charge to participate, either as a buyer or seller. Gillian |

Gillian Not paying a fee on items that don't sell is a good thing--makes it easier to post cheap or low demand patterns. On patterns you sell, do you notice that you can get better prices on O&I than eBay? I do have quite a few out of print patterns I'd rather not see go for pennies. I waffle between keeping them because they're OOP, and just selling the whole shebang off just to get rid of the overload. Plus, my tastes have definitely changed over the years. I'm moving in December, so it'd be great to pare down before then, not to mention having a little extra cash to decorate the new place with. J. |

I don't sell, or buy, anything on Ebay anymore...haven't for quite some years! I like Paypal, but will not pay the fees required to have a Business account. I only sell to people who have a cash balance, or it is from their bank account. Currently on O&I, there is a dearth of buyers, and pretty much the same sellers. There have been some new names recently, I noticed. You can put a reserve on your item, so you don't have to give it away for pennies. Some of mine I price super-low just to get rid of them, and tempt people to see what else I have,...and others I may ask more. It is fun when two women fight over the same chart. I just sold one for $4.01, that I started at $1.00. There are nice folk there, and I have made some nice cyber-friends. You could register, then try one or two, and see how you feel. One gal is selling all the charts she can lay hands on..she is paying tuition for her daughter at a private school with the proceeds. The rest of us just do it for fun. Gillian |

Elizabeth I think you're probably right and it is inner ear. The only thing that might make me feel differently is that I'm highly allergic and have ear problems because of mucous backing into the eustachian tube. I guess I'm lucky because I never got sea sick on a cruise ship or even in a 50' sloop where the owner was in the Coast Guard for years and my husband who claimed to never get seasick were both in such bad shape that they told me I might have to guide the boat back in. I panicked at the thought so they were able to get themselves together long enough to get us back to land. I, of course, never let my strong, macho husband live that down. Lucille |

Susi and I were standing in front of a needlework book and simply handing the pencil back and forth, till we'd bid it up beyond the original price of the book. She then looked me in the eye, pointed out the stupidity of what we were doing, not to mention "I earn more than you, I *am* going to outbid you", and promised that when she was done with it, she'd see to it that I got the book. -- Karen C - California Editor/Proofreader www.IntlProofingConsortium.com "On his tombstone, Benjamin Franklin wanted it said not that he had been rich but rather that he had been useful."

I went with a friend who, like me, grew up on the coast spending a lot of time on boats. He'd actually been standing practically on the epicenter of the '89 quake, so he knew what we were about to experience. They tell you to hold tightly to the handrail, but we didn't think it was necessary. Keeping our balance was no harder than staying upright on choppy seas or moving subway cars. But there were a couple people who were turning a little green. -- Karen C - California Editor/Proofreader www.IntlProofingConsortium.com "On his tombstone, Benjamin Franklin wanted it said not that he had been rich but rather that he had been useful."
