I have also discovered, tonight, a recently undiagnosed shower curtain fetish. I found at least six of them, all white, battenberg lace, various styles (two fake battenberg ones). LOL. I only have one shower and one bathroom and have only had one in every apartment where I have lived. Becki "In...

Welp, today is our latest "Force Management Restructuring" day, eg layoff time. Although the people being layed off are technically still on payroll for 30 days they leave the building today, and couldn't officially hear they were on "the list" until today. I haven't heard yet but have had enough...

With things the way they were the last couple of days I created a whopping rose for the occasion. Please take a look and let me know what you think. I'm not sure it's a rose, but it's big. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2692735605

Hi all! A neighbor, of a friend, went to a bead party, a while back, and bought a bracelet, made with junky import beads, that she paid $50 for. My friend had a fit and told her she had to see my stuff and since then, this lady calls me whenever she wants another bracelet. She recently asked for...

I have a pattern that calls for 1.8 mm three-cut beads. Everything I can find online has them in either 9/0 or 12/0 sizes. Being your typical American - ignorant of most things metric - I don't know which size to order. Can you help?? It would be great if you could respond by email to...

Saturday was my deflowering...and I guess I just can't stay away, because I finally found the bead shop in Tacoma I've been hearing so much about. Went there tonight to see what it was like and to shop for beads for my friend's vessel necklace. Wooohoooo!! I love it. Much better than the one i...

I just sat and listed a whole pile... OK, 7, but it feels like a pile... of new auctions! I did it with a VERY SQUIRMY Ophelia sitting on my lap, so forgive any typos! This little girl of mine just doesn't like to sleep! I also have auctions ending tomorrow night, I'm just gonna say it right now...

Thanks for the welcome backs! I'm just going to try to make this an "all-in-one" post, Diana- It's funny you brought up the social phobe thing. I'm about to put it on a t-shirt and wear it out. LOL. I'm sure it'll get a few comments and kind of force me to talk to people! Kathy- They're not...

Since the first of the year I've been hearing rumblings throughout the bead world about price increases. Precious metals prices have risen substantially and many wholesale suppliers of Bali and other silver beads have raised their prices or are putting a surcharge on silver or gold orders. I've...
