Funny but the guy who bought it had a Chinese name and when I looked at some of his feedback history he had purchased items from sellers or ebay stores dealing in Chinese stuff. Maybe he will sell it for more, maybe he just wants to collect things like that. I figure it will get more use by someone else than our family. Other than my dad wearing it to a costume party back in then mid 60's it's been in storage!

Damn, that's gorgeous! But it would be hard to display, and would be a travesty to wear it, even for special occasions. I wonder if it had been used before Granddad got it, it looks like it's mint. If it makes it's way back to China that's fine, you got two grand for storage.
The only question I have is, after seeing your photographs for a couple years, what the hell do you need "better" equipment for? ![]()

Oh, foots slipped in while I wasn't paying attention. Yes, congratulations, it's one of the mile markers we look forward to on the journey. Time to figure out what's next because it can be an emotional crash, after waiting and waiting for it, then not knowing what direction you're going.

I was the one who left my husband, and the marriage was unsalvageable (my bad, I shouldn't ever have said yes) but when my divorce papers came through it still hurt. If it was up to me, I'd still be married on paper, I just never would have got round to sorting out the formalities.
The surname you know me by (those of you that know it I mean) is his. I'm glad it's different for you, Foot.

My youngest has finally figured out how to entertain herself when she first wakes up in the morning, and I am routinely sleeping past 6:15 on weekends for the first time in almost 9 years.

Just got a check in the mail from the valet parking service that damaged the roof rack on my Land Rover when they tried to fit in in the garage. That was just after I turned it over to the attendant and pointed out it had to go in the oversize lot!
The roof rack was just a bit scratched up but they admitted the damage was their fault and told me to get an estimate from a body shop. I took it to one near my and the adjuster said they couldn't repair the roof rack as it wasn't original equipment but did notice a dent in my roof and some scratches and some of plastic trim was cracked. I didn't say anything but that happened last year while I was off roading! The valet service said to send in the estimate and to just send in wep pages with the roof rack parts that showed prices and I did. Got the check today for $3244.57!!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sadly, my wife says she needs about $1000 of that for bills that are due.... guess that's how it goes! ![]() Going to buy a new laptop that is pretty much for high end photo and video editing. |
