toracat for the loves and yes walksoftly your so right about that:)
Amen to that walksoftly. You must be in Ohio... I have the same issue here. I want to come vacation at Seans this summer just to go to the Goodwill. Pretty sad huh. Hey buddy, that is a compliment not the other way around. Hope you got some sleep. saw eye4beauty kept the mind in a tissy all night with the pottery.
@JayHow I'm not in Ohio, but it seems you may be suffering from my tupperware affliction.
Unlike Sean who I like to call "Good Will Hunting" (thrift genius)
That is a great name for Sean. I may use that too from time to time. I think the guy has sat on a luck horse shoe or has a four leaf clover up his you know what. Never in my life have I ever found the kind of stuff he has at the stores here...Couldnt happen to a nicer guy though.
If the lady luck doesn't bless you, it should at least be someone you know.
Thankyou very much walksoftly:) your very kind:)
