Oh Chrissi your so smart...I never thought of using bablefish...just did it, but i still didnnt see prices. Am I missing something?

Kim

oH Oh! I need some info on the eyes....like prices and how to order. Anybody that can understand the site, please help! Can you believe I am 1/4 German and my son took 3 years of German and I cannot understand a thing! My Grandparent always spoke German when they didnt want us kids to hear what they were talking about...obviously, it worked ...tee hee

Thanks in advance....its a great site and the eyes are fantastic!

Bear hugs,

What a sweetie! I love everything about her!!!
Nice job. Im sure it wont take long for her to find a new home.

My computer does that occasionally and I find if I crash it (hold down the power button for aprox. 3 sec) and then turn it back on, it will reboot and works again. Also, you may want to try spy sweeper and get rid of all the icky stuff on your computer. Im certainly no computer whiz, but thats what works for me.

Best of luck to you and I hope you are feeling better soon!

Warm Fuzzy Bear Hugs coming your way

Kim

I dont mind if people use my name at all...I think it adds a nice personal touch.
I use my buyers first name in my feedback to them...I have never had a complaint and I have been doing it for years!

Hugs,

Kim

I have changed the name of the drawing to a tombola due to a technicality that was brought to my attention......

** Less then 24 hours to get your name entered into the tombola **

Dont forget to use bleach on it...it will kill the mold. (25% bleach 75% water)   Your right, you probably just had a ventilation problem and it sounds like you have solved that....

Happy Cleaning and wallpapering to ya...ugghhh!

Please keep in mind as you read my post this is MY OPINION and MY OPINION ONLY!!

Shill bidding is an epidemic on ebay right now. It makes me soooooooo angry and thats the reason I refuse to do private auctions...trust me, I would like to so I could protect my bidders (the few of them) from any potential scams, but too many people have ruined it for us all. Our bidders dont trust us anymore.

The sad part is I know of many people who have been busted for shill bidding, and ultimately, ebay lets them back on and they immediately start doing private auctions, thus allowing them to continue their bad behavior behind closed doors. I believe that if you have ever been caught shill bidding, you lose the right to the private auction feature.
Ebay doesnt take shill bidding seriously because the more bids that are placed, the more money they make. Now if I were to openly try to sell something outside of ebay, they would be all over that because they are then losing money! Its a no win situation for those of us that are honest sellers.
I have been on ebay for many, many years and all of my original buyers are gone now. Shill bidding has scared them all away. Many of these people I still keep in contact with, but ebay isn't what it used to be.
I hope someday they will understand the importance of getting this under control....if they get rid of the dishonest sellers, they will then have more buyers come back and use ebay again. That would be a win-win situation for all of us!!!

Thanks for starting this post Jodi! I think its great that all of us have our eyes open to what is happening and its a topic that has needed to be address for a long time!

Bear hugs,

Kim

Oh Brenda, your Grandson is adorable!!! Look at those bright blue eyes!

My only Grandchild is Sherman, my son's dog...we joke about him coming to "Grandma's house" and when he comes over, I always get him all excited by saying "Grandma's got cookies" etc.... My son and i both agree Sherman is the closest thing to a child/grandchild either of us is ready for at this time.

Justin and I like to play jokes on each other, so my next big one is to dress Sherman in one of my many vintage child's outfits and take him out for professional pictures. My son will get the biggest laugh out of that and Im sure he will carry one of the photos in his wallet!  :crackup:

Well I'm off to take pics of my new bear. Hopefully she will make her debut on ebay sometime today!

Bear hugs,

Kim

No, I get charged to accept money because I have a business account too, but like with every pp acount, sending is free. I think a personal account only allows you to be able to accept $100 a month....that would be a pain!!

Just let me know if you need my help.

Bear Hugs,

Kim

Heres a thought...send funds to a US verified account (like mine) and have that person forward payment on to the seller. I know it sounds like alot of extra work, but if you, as well as the person who send them their payment write to say "please send item to (your address inserted here)  address" and explain the situation, it shouldn't be a problem. Your more then welcome to use my name/pay-pal account for this if you would like. Problem solved *smiles*
Let me know if you would like to use my services, but remember to read the fine print below....

Bear hugs,

Kim

[size=0][/size]
fine print: There will be a $1,000,000.00 USD transaction fee...just kidding, its only $100 USD...ok, ok...there really is no fee

You ladies are too funny!

That's not a Three Ring Circus Chrissi....heck you should see my house!

3 dogs... Mr. Bigglesworth, Foxy Cleopatra..(Cleo for short) and Cletus T. Judd (pit/lab mix, 2 mini dachshunds) On weekends, add one more "wiener" to the mix as my oldest son gives me visitation rights for Sherman, the puppy we got him for his graduation gift last year. Sherman & Cletus are brothers. I will attach a pic of them....Cletus is the small one and Sherman is much bigger, thus the reason he got the name Sherman...as in Sherman Tank *grin*

2 cats named Skunk & Kallie (gee where did I ever get my user ID?)

2 guinea pigs, Zoë and Chloe

Oh and we cant forget the 5 kids...Justin, Jared, Kennedy, Bryce and Tucker! Pheeww...I need to catch my breath!!

Ok, I gotta run and get something accomplished for the day....

Bear hugs,

Kim

*BIG (from the bottom of my belly) LAUGH* You ladies are too darn funny! I love the contract...it even includes who is responsible for health care!!!
I think Aleta said it best...you ladies are a HOOT!

Bear Hugs,

Kim

Yes, there is still 7 days to enter!

Perfect Marion! We have our lawyer in place if need be *smiles*

Thank you all very much!

Bear Hugs,

Kim

Its VERY easy to get past! Me personally, I dont bother with it because anybody with just a smidge of computer knowledge can do it.....

Hugs,

Kim

*laughing* Your so funny Brenda! I'm sure if you or Andrea are the lucky winner, we can draw up some official court documents to settle the custody battle and put all visitation terms in black and white...tee hee

Bear Hugs,

Kim

Im stunned that someone could be so outright mean and nasty! Its one thing to have an opinion, yet quite another to voice it so boldly!
I honestly don't know how I would have handles the situation, but I must say you handled it with great tact and professionalism! Touche for you!!!

Bear Hugs,

Kim

Thank you Andrea and Brenda!
Emmett has agreed to a "joint custody" if need be... :crackup:

Bear Hugs,

Kim

Someone else sent me this email today....I cant imagine sitting still long enough for someone to paint that on my hand! Just looking at the swan makes my hand cramp up.
Im partial to the elephant myself...love all the wrinkles that make it look so realistic!!
Thanks for sharing!

Bear Hugs,

Kim

8 days and counting!!! Emmett is excited to find out where he will be traveling to!

Thank you to all of you who have participated!

Bear Hugs,

Kim

Brenda, Im so sorry to hear about your niece and her husband. I dont know where they are located, but I do have an Alaska Air Companion fare you are welcome to use if that helps you out! Let me know and I will see what I can do to transfer it to you.

My thoughts are with you and your family

Bear hugs,

Kim
