Here I am in this old chair
They think that I'm antique
Well I don't care what they say
I know that I'm unique

Antiques are hard to come by
So please just have a look
Take your time and look around
I know that you'll get hooked

Keep those eyes right on the prize
Yes that would be me
I'm sure you know without a doubt
There's love in history

I can tell you stories
They'd make your hair just rise
Got good secrets I want to tell
But know that's not too wise

This was sure the smartest move
I'm totally content
Sitting here and looking out
Love this time well spent

Well don't you ever count me out
I'm chipper bright and gay
Wanna have some fun come on
I'll show you all the way.

KEEP SCROLLING, THERE'S MORE!

You will note that I am not a 'Power Seller'..... The reason is, eBay rewards sellers purely for volume of sales, while old-fashioned values like excellent customer service go unnoticed. As a conscientious seller, quality is more important to me than mere quantity. While the high-value item sellers may reap the benefits of corporate approval, we 'Little Guys' will continue to concentrate on trying to please our customers.

If interested in looking at my auctions, just click on the Antique sign above. I make every effort to describe each item as accurately as I can. Sometimes a lot of research goes into a piece before I decide to list it. Of course my favorite hangout, the "eBay Glass Board" is a tremendous help, many very knowledgable people there. We even have two or three authors of Glass Books aboard that freely give of their vast knowledge!

If you are looking for a special item in Glass, just click on my Email link and let me know your desire, if I don't have it, I will surely keep an eye out for it. Even if you aren't looking for an item, and just love old Glass, send me a line, I always like to talk about my second love "OLD GLASS!"

NOW A LITTLE ABOUT ME!

I put this towards the bottom because I don't think I am very interesting, just your run of the mill Grandma. I am 62 years old with four grown children. A boy 45, a boy, 44, a boy 39. and last but not least a girl 35. Finally had a daughter, so I quit! I have four precious Grandchildren, 3 boys and 1 girl.
I am a retired Assistant VP and Loan Supervisor of a major Credit Union. My husband is an Engineer for the Dept. of Interior. My main hobby is eBay, I have been buying and selling since 1997. I love people, especially bidders! LOL!

The Letter To Normals

Hello Family, Friends, and Anyone Wishing to Know Me,

Allow me to begin by thanking you for taking the time out of your day to spend some time with me and get to know me better. A person time is their most valuable asset and yours is appreciated.

I want to talk to you about Fibromyalgia (FM) and Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS). Many have never heard of these conditions and for those who have, many are misinformed. And because of this judgments are made that may not be correctSo I ask you to keep an open mind as I try to explain who I am and how FM/MPS has assaulted not only my life but those whom I love as well.

You see, I suffer from a disease that you cannot see; a disease that there is no cure for and that keeps the medical community baffled at how to treat and battle this demon, who attacks are relentless. My pain works silently, stealing my joy and replacing it with tears. On the outside we look alike you and I, you wont see my scars as you would a person who, say, had suffered a car accident.

You wont see my pain in the way you would a person undergoing chemo for cancer; however, my pain is just as real and just as debilitating. And in many ways my pain may be more destructive because people can see it and do not understand....

Please don get angry at my seemingly lack of interest in doing things; I punish myself enough I assure you. My tears are shed many times when no one is around. My embarrassment is covered by a joke or laughter, but inside I want to die....

Most of my "friends" are gone; even members of my own family have abandoned me. I have been accused of "playing games" for another sympathy. I have been called unreliable because I am forced to cancel plans I made at the last minute because the burning and pain in my legs or arms is so intense I cannot put my clothes on and I am left in my tears as I miss out on yet another activity I used to love and once participated in with enthusiasm.

I feel like a child at times... Just the other day I put the sour cream I bought at the store in the pantry, on the shelf, instead of in the refrigerator; by the time I noticed it, it had spoiled. When I talk to people, many times I lose my train of thought in mid sentence or forget the simplest word needed to explain or describe something. Please try to understand how it feels to have another go behind me in my home to make sure the stove is off after I cook an occasional meal. Please try to understand how it feels to osethe laundry, only to find it in the stove instead of the dryer. As I try to maintain my dignity the Demon assaults me at every turn. Please try to understand

Sleep, when I do get some, is restless and I wake often because of the pain the sheets have on my legs or because I twitch uncontrollably. I walk through many of my days in a daze with the Fibro-fog laughing at me as I stumble and grasp for clarity.

And just because I can do a thing one day, that doesn mean I will be able to do the same thing the next day or next week. I may be able to take that walk after dinner on a warm July evening; the next day or even the in the next hour I may not be able to walk to the fridge to get a cold drink because my muscles have begun to cramp and lock up or spasm uncontrollably. And there are those who say ut you did that yesterday!hat is your problem today?The hurt I experience at those words scars me so deeply that I have let my family down again; and still they don understand

On a brighter side I want you to know that I still have my sense of humor. If you take the time to spend with me you will see that. I love to tell that joke to make another face light up and smile at my wit. I love my kids and grandbabies and shine when they give me my hugs or ask me to fix their favorite toy. I am fun to be with if you will spend the time with me on my own playing field; is this too much to ask? I love you and want nothing more than to be a part of your life. And I have found that I can be a strong friend in many ways. Do you have a dream? I am your friend, your supporter and many times I will be the one to do the research for your latest project; many times I will be your biggest fan and the world will know how proud I am at your accomplishments and how honored I am to have you in my life.

So you see, you and I are not that much different. I too have hopes, dreams, goalsand this demon Do you have an unseen demon that assaults you and no one else can see? Have you had to fight a fight that crushes you and brings you to your knees? I will be by your side, win or lose, I promise you that; I will be there in ways that I can. I will give all I can as I can, I promise you that. But I have to do this thing my way. Please understand that I am in such a fight myself and I know that I have little hope of a cure or effective treatments, at least right now. Please understand

Thank you for spending your time with me today. I hope we can work through this thing, you and I. Please understand that I am just like youPlease understand
