It seems lately that I just cannot catch up. There is always something going on. Some of it (I admit) I do bring on myself. Like my compulsive to buy and sell on eBay. I do make money but right now it’s not worth the aggravation and time that it takes. But, even when I have a full day, I will dwell on it and dwell on it until finally I’ll give in to the addiction. I hop in my car and go out to the store where I buy all the marked down stuff, buy a bunch, and go home. I’ll throw the bag of stuff on top of the other bags of stuff that I have alrighty bought to sell on eBay. Then, everytime I pass it, I feel guilty and stressed. It’s a regular cycle and I used to try to fight it but always lost. Now, I don’t even fight the impulse. I’ll stop whatever I am doing and go to that store and start all over again. Actually, I buy great quality stuff that I do make pretty good money on when I get time to list it.
Take today, for example. I woke up tired. Here’s why I woke up tired. Went to a QVC auction last night. It didn’t end until 11:30pm. I got home after midnight and had to get up to go to church this morning. Yes, I said church. The only time that I feel halfway calm is in church. However, right after church, I drove out to THE STORE where I purchased 20 packages of men’s size 2XL tidy-whities for eBay. As crazy as that sounds, it’s probably one of the most sane things that I’ve done in that department lately. I have found my little niche’ on eBay and I hope I’m not risking offending in of ya’ll when I tell ya what it is.
It is…..”drumroll please”….ta da….Giant size undies for ladies and gents! Them suckers sell really well.
Just so you know, though, I do not sell this kind>>>>>>
To be honest with y’all, though, I would if the store had them and they made me a good profit. Who am I to judge what people wear around their own home. I sure hope that guy is in his own home, for sure.
. They sell for more on ebay than in department stores. I was mystifyed by this at first but then I think that I figured it out. People who are rather larger either cannot find their sizes in stores or they do not want to go out in public and purchase them. That’s my guesses.
Back to the auction. I went two weeks ago and had “SUCKER” written on my forehead. I bought a tray full of electronics….cameras, DVD players, GPS systems, etc. I paid 95 bucks for them. My reasoning was that if just 2 or 3 electronic gadgets worked, it would be worth it. Long story short…not worth it…none worked. UNRETURNABLE! But, I had also bought two air electronic air fresheners (Ionic Breezes) and neither of those worked. But, they were guaranteed for 30 days. So, I went to the auction just to return the Breezes. I had the one intention of returning them and getting my money back. I was a little taken aback when I was told that I would not get my money back. Instead, I was issued “auction bucks”……just as good as money according to the guy at the desk. Now, I may not be Steve Forbes, but I do know that I cannot spend auction bucks at WalMart or the gas station.

This video is a lot like some auctions that I use to go to. I’ve never seen so many “holler people” in one place in my entire life as at those auctions……
The auctions that I am going to now have either HSN or QVC merchadise.
Once again, I’ve gotten off my original posting idea.
It was, I AM TIRED!!!!!
I’m too tired after writing this much to tell you anything else that is going on. But, I can’t end this post without telling you this.
Last weekend was hubby’s b-day. My oldest daughter bought him too very interesting books. I’ll probably read them myself.
My youngest daughter, also, bought him a book. I will not be reading that one, though. The title: The History Of Ice, Cooling The South, The Block Ice Era 1875-1976.
I can feel the giggling coming on again right now. Your first question (as mine was) is who read that book? But, I had to, also, ask myself two more questions:
Who would write that book?
Who would buy that book as a gift (or for any reason).
I was gonna be nice and put a pick of that book on here so you’d see that I’m telling the truth. But, no can do—True Blood is on and I’ve just gotta see what happens to lil Miss Sooki and that onery Miss Tara ( and the rest of that crazy bunch). And, Sam is gonna reveal that he is a shape shifter and Jason is caught up with that psycho biotch….and…….I gotta go.



I love an auction – I can’t help myself! I used to work at an auction school. Yes, most states require auctioneers to go to a state-accredited school of higher education! Lots of states even require continuing education to keep their licenses. That’s what I did – I was the head of online continuing education. I was a real hard ass!!

I don’t understand why you wouldn’t be interested in reading about the history of ice. Don’t you keep a big block in the ice house out back? How else can you keep the deer & squirrel meat cool until you’re ready to cook it?
Oh. I forgot. You’re one of those High Falutin’ Rednecks. Aren’t ya?

I feel your fatigue. I’m dealing with my second adult bout with depression (a menopause enhancement I think) and between the meds and the illness, I’m worn out. I can really relate. Just hang on. It ebbs and flows.

BHE…just because I use blocks of ice don’t mean that I gotta know the damn history of it!!!! Care for some squirrel gravy?
cute…I’m wondering if I should take up drinkin’ so I can write some really sad songs? Care to be my co-writer? And, can anything really ENHANCE menopause? What’cha talking about, WILLIS?

As in “make more intense”. ……I was going to try the first couple lines of a song to see how we’d do but my brain isn’t functioning. I really miss it some days.

ghetto girl…I’m not so sure that it would be pleasing to the eye to see me going thru bins of gigantic manties and bros (man bras). However, I’m getting quite a good little pocket money making thing going on eBay selling to trannies. Please, any trannies reading, don’t take offense. I’m not making fun. I’m serious. And, if you need any of these items. leave a request here. Hell, with the economy so bad, I’d almost be willing to sell the ones off my husband’s butt.
cuteasasa….I need an intensifier, too. Just not sure what I need to intensify. Lately, I am grasping for the names of stuff (words). But, I’ve come to the conclusion that I just have tooooo much info to store in my brain and therefore, am suffering from brain leakage. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

VV…if you buy it, you can call it anything you want.
I remember on Seinfeld, Kramer wearing a “bro”. LOL
Do you remember on Friends when Joey carried a manpurse.

It was a European man sack!!
I have a “murse” myself that I carry when I travel. Where else is a fella supposed to stash a wallet, camera, pack of gum, plane tickets, and a bottle of nerve pills?

Well crap. Here all these years I thought air travel naturally attracted the well hung man. Now VV tells me it’s just pockets crammed with packs of gum and pill bottles???? What a rip. : )
