Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Oh but don't worry Sharie!
Herbies favorite kitty is still sleeping with him every night! 

Thanks Sharie,
I think I would like to show some of my over 300 bear collection on it. 
I'm terrible at getting pictures to load but I think I'll give it a try anyway. Something I have always vowed I would not do unless absolutely necessary is sell off some of my bears. I'm afraid I'm going to have to start doing just that soon. 
Since we are having to hold off on moving, we had hoped to move to Santa Barbara when my husband retires next year but with the economy and the loss of invested monies he is going to have to continue to work for a couble more years. With the lack of space I have had to box up many bears. 
And what kind of life is that for a bear!! I swear at night I can hear some of them screaming to be let out of the boxes!!  :twisted:
It's breaking my heart. 

I have been hearing a lot about Twitter. I guess I'm going to have to check it out.
FaceBook hasn't really worked for me. I too find it hard to keep up with all the games and whatnot.
Thanks for the tip. 

Thanks Sharie,
Great site. I have donated there before. Thanks for posting it! 

Good one Tami!!
Too bad you didn't work the comedy clubs with me back in the day!!!

I love the other horses watching! Funny!!

Oh and sorry Todd couldn't figure it out for you!!
He stayed up until midnight and I made him quit trying and go to bed!!  He had to get up at 3 am for work!! He gets going on something and you can't drag him away!! Gotta love the guy though! 

Hi Cathy,
This lady has some nice templates in the victorian style that you like.  Right now she is having a sale. Buy 2 and get the 3rd free.
Hugs,
Cyndee :)

OKey Dokey! I voted!!!

Hey Joanne,
I went to your link and it's not working but I did click on your eBay under your name and it took me to your auction. I wanted to see your bear too!! Cute!! I love the bunny!!

She sounds like she is full of personality. What a great dog she is!! 
You have received a ton of advice here and I won't add mine but you wouldn't be the first dog owner to reinvest and train again with someone else or another program. 80% of my clients (I only did private training not group) had already been through at least one training program before coming to me.
As I have told you before you have a breed that I have always longed to own. Sounds like life will never be boring with Dakota!!
Best of luck.

Great story, great little boy. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing!!
My husband is looking forward to meeting him as he is going to soon be a retire Homicide Detective too. However rather than talk teddy bears like I want to I think he wants to talk murder cases!!!

I'm close to San Diego and plan to go. If I'm well I hope to meet him and get my books signed.

You are welcome Laura.

I just got off the phone with eBay.
I want to be sure that everyone knows there is help available and you don't have to have a feedback score of 100 or more. Upon calling you will be asked to follow promps and if you can't find any pertaining to your question just enter one and when you do get a rep which took me only seconds , explain like I did that there wasn't really any pertaining to your question and they will gladly help you anyway. I was not transferred. I spent over 12 minutes on the phone with John and he was very helpful and understanding. Of course you are not always going to get John but I'm confident that you will be helped by a rep to the best of his or hers ability.
The number is 1-800-701-EBAY (3229) Help is available here in the USA 7 days a week from 5 am to 10 pm PST.
Sorry guys, I don't know how to find help in other countries but I'm sure if you click on the help link on your My eBay Page it will direct you.

Hey Robert,
If you haven't all ready I hope you signed up and vote!! Maybe one of us will win!! I'll share if I win.  :redface:  You can have the bear for 6 months and then I can have him for the other 6.
Just kidding' with ya!! :dance:
Good luck to you. 

I voted for the black mohair but the honey is nice too. 

Thanks Laura for the info.
I really appreciate your help !

Laura,
If I may ask is your ebook a Kindle? If so I didn't realize his books were available. I'll have to check it out. :)
I love his books!!!

As with any business there are perks. I have been a AAA member for 30 years and because of it I'm afforded perks and privileges others may not. A teddy bear artist is having a contest right now for those who belong to her mailing list. If you don't you can't play. I spend more money at the local market than my neighbor earning me more points than her and coupons in the mail. Heck I even get extra sprinkles on my yogurt because I have a punch card. The point is the more money you make a company the more you are rewarded. Right or wrong is any one's opinion but I'm not going to be made to feel like a peon because I don't get live help anymore. I haven't bought on eBay in over 30 days the longest for me since being a member. This is because the deals are not there right now and the economy is suffering. Not because eBay has changed their policies.

Like many I have 2 ID's. I am a seller as well as a buyer. I will use the emailing system until eBay changes back and if they don't then I will deal with it. I emailed yesterday with a question and received an answer in less than 24 hours.

Thank you Jane.
The site made it very easy to donate. A very easy site to navigate which I appreciate!!!
I hope Sarah makes her new goal!!

Thank you for clarifying that for me. I was having terrible headaches lastnight as I was trying to do this and I seem to never read it right no matter how many times I go over it. For some reason I thought it was for breast cancer but this is great too!!!
Thanks again.

You are welcome.
Although no one in my large family has been touched by this type of cancer, I do not take it for granted. Just knowing the magnitude of loss from this dreaded disease is enough.
Thank you for allowing me to help.

Hi Louise,
I have kept every issue of every magazine plus I buy issues, many vintage in bulk when ever I can. I will go through my magazines after dinner and if I have it you can have it no charge. I feel for you. 
I would just cry if I lost a magazine I was in!!
I still have the TV Guide I was in , I had my 5th Birthday on a show called Chucko The Clown in 1961!!  :redface:
I'll PM you and let you know if I have it.

I would be interested Jenn.  Email me and let me know the cost.
