Last night Buddy woke me up a few times to go out side.....it was so cold, in the middle of the night, i swear there were icicles forming on my titties....(not really ,but sounds good and silly...you can create a mental image of it.....) There was a huge full moon, and all the warewolves were out in force. I hardly got more than 4 hours sleep. I actually woke up early at 8, and got dressed and got to the store ealrier than nights I get a full complement of sleep..
I figured the cold was going to keep custoemrs home, keeping nice and warm and cozy......I never figured, it might be the busiest day we ever had!!! People came pouring in.....the first custmer was a repeat customer who was here yesterday..she went home to measure...and reall did come back..and buy three items....of furniture..and i gave her incredible deals....she wanted things that I was able to reduce the price, make her happy iwth the price, and make room from us. She bought two armoires and an oak cupboard.... The made mee feel good to start the day, early and with sales...and it continued....and by 6, it was the biggest day we had in a very long time, with the exception of that very rare painting I sold early in the month.......Hopefull this month will be the biggest in a very long time, yet....still not like the good old days,.....when the auction was flourishing.....
Last week I gave the recipe for a very tasty and low calorie open sandwhich.... A lisce of good bread of your choice that is 100 calories...topped with a roast pimento, and one or two tablespoons of TOASTITOS cheese sauce with jalapenas...I put on slice of onion and tomatoe....today, I added another 5 calories...by adding a tablespoon or more of sauerkraut.......which makes it A Mexican Rueben Pimneto OPen Sandwhich...about 185 calories (with two tablespoons of cheese) 165 with one tablespoon cheese sauce....Delish.....really filling...and not that many calories.
I figure about 1500 a day. Breakfast Oatmeal....about 170 calories, a piece of fruit around 50,to 100, lunch 300 calorie (varies 200-300) Weight watchers or LEAN CUSIN fronzen meal.... A bowl of CABBAGE soup now and then...very few calories..and that leavea 5-900 calories for dinner and snaks..... It doenst feel like I am starving myself. Tonight I had an ice cream put out by WEIGHT WAtchers.....140 cal...and it was really the best....ever.

JD SALINGER DIED, MOre on the POPE,New Super Blender Fr MONTEL WILLIAMS
THE POPE story continues....Mr KINKY the Second......Into Polish S&MWell, Pope John Paul II would, it turns out. In a new book, "Why a Saint?," Monsignor Slawomir Oder, a Vatican official, confirmed that the late pope regularly whipped himself as an act of penance to feel closer to God.
"In his wardrobe, among his vestments, there hung on a clothes hanger a special belt for trousers which he used as a whip," Oder says. The self-flagellation was "an instrument of Christian perfection," Oder adds, emulating the sufferings of Jesus Christ.

A new book claims Pope John Paul II would beat himself to bring himself closer to Christ. Here, the late pope is shown in 1995.
Others close to Pope John Paul II, who died in 2005, have confirmed Oder's statements, and there's a long tradition of self-punishment in Catholic history. Practitioners included St. Francis of Assisi, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Ignatius of Loyola, Mother Teresa and St. Thomas More. But why? After all, the Catholic Church doesn't officially sanction the practice.
sO i BOUGHT THIS NEW SUPER BLENDER FORM A TV INFOMERCIAL.....MONTEL WILLIAMS IS HAWKING.....IT. YOU CAN THROW IN A BRICK AND IT WILL JUICE IT... IT IS REALLY VERY POWERFUL...IF YOU PUT IT ON SPEED 8 FOR 8 MINUTES, IT WILL TURN THE CONTENTS INTO A BOILING HOT SOUP.
So, my curiosity starting experimenting.... I threw in a pear, an apple, and a bunch of frozen srawberries. I got a mushy concoction....not a drink...much to thick...and not quite a sherbert....I added some SPLENDA and a drop of LEMON juice and froze it for awhile...and it was sherbert like. I have to figure out proportions...Not enough liquid in it now..too much pulp, but it made a good dessert, no name for it...MUSSHY FRUIT COMPOTE? Now if I added some juice or water, it would have been a nice drink. Tomorrow, I will make one with veggies...
But I did invent something.. I took all the ingredients that I use to make cabbage soup....a chunk of cabbage a tomatoe, less than half an onion(red) a pimento, garlic salt,hot sauce and vinegar....and in 8 minutes I got a steaming bowl of soup, that we might call cream of cabbage...but there is a raw kind of taste. I microvaed it later for ten min on low... Added some chopped pickle(kosher dill) onion, and tomatoe.. and it was very good....and different... Sort of a POLISH Gazpacho. NO olive oil since I am on a diet...but that would have impoved it.......and what is good about it, I bet the entiure bowl of soup didnt have 25 calories.
Today I went to the department of MOTOR Vehicles to renew my license....I dreaded going.....you have to have the proper ID...so many points. YOu have to show them you PAssport, you Birth Certificate, old drivers license, Something with your address on it, a phone bill, your old underwear, a urine and dna sample........who knows what HOMELAND SECURITY WANTS NOW?
Luckily, it wasnt that busy and I was out in less than a half hour. They had a cop....from the SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT there incase of trouble... He must be bored out of his mind. He sits in a little chair, doesnt talk to anaybody....the exMArine, NEO NAZI ,gym teacher type with a blond crew cut......the only thing he said in that half an hour, was to one guy....you cant use your cell phone in here. I bet he practices that line at home at night..so he doent forget it.
This week there has been almost no business. Today 150.00, plus a few people who only price things. but dont really want anything.. But we do have to be nice, never know when they might come back.....and spend .

JAN 27 Grannys Attic Offical Holiday!,POEMS
Jan 27 has been an official Grannys Attic Holiday for 18 years....it started when we found out that Both JOHN and RICH were born in this day...and it has been a long custom, to have some kind of recognition of their genesis.
Last night I was going shopping to buy cold cuts....for a little party...but my KEy and Clicker disappeared mysteriously from my desk...Juan took me in his car....and went to STOP AND SHOP.....John is a Veggietarian, and RICH is an ARMENIAN, both ending in "ian" That is why I didnt cook.... Not to bore you with names of cheese and coldcuts, I will mention that I bought incredibly delicious Sesame noodle salad (with carrots and scallions etc) some kind of broccoli salad raisons and nuts, Edamame bean salad..and Egg Potatoe salad...all really good...but we went around the corner to KINGS to buy them a Special Brownie fudge choclate cake.....I asked for strawberry shortcake, and the idiot behind the counter says THEY ARE OUT OF SEASON...and will be back in the SPRING....sTRAWBERRY SHORT CAKES ARE NEVER EVER OUT OF SEASON...JUST ASK ANY ESKIMO.
There was one hot dish, that I supervised but the boys cooked it...very simple and very awesome.. Cook and drain a pound of angel hair pasta. return to the pot. add a sprinkle of virgin oilive oil, garlic powder, can of drained diced tomatoes, cup or more of ricotta cheese, half and half, 1/4 cup thin slice scallions or chives, fresh ground pepper and salt... stirr to creamy consistency...OMG so simple and so delicious..
Tonight I wrote to BIll Clinton to see if he can give me the information for me to send the clothing to HAITI....Lets see if I get an answer....
POEMS FROM MY BOOK "POETRY FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE POETRY)
"jESUS kNEW wHAT hE wAS doING"
My heroes span millennia
some flesh and blood
some symbolic
others ideological
not biological
The Buddha
Jesus
Jefferson
Gandhi
The Dali Lama
Martin Luther King
Mother Teresa
Jimmy Carter
My father
my mother
my grandmother
All had one thing in mind
about being kind
loving
exposing the right path
to enlightenment
defusing violence
Giving hope
healing
teaching
to do the right thing
easing pain
taught how to give
taught how to listen
espousing humility
joining people
breaking down barriers
Teaching spirituality
and in actuality
made the world a better place.
pOLITICS AND MUSIC
Give each country's leaders
an instrument
not a gun or bomb or tank
or plane
Let them make music
play a symphony
harmonize
Each one responsible for certain notes
and musical phrases
Daily sessions
Musical lessons
Prime ministers, presidents,
leaders of the people
all making music together
each ones contribution
to the total
is necessary
to create a perfect sound
Let them all play as one
close their eyes
feel the oneness
feel the creatively
of human cooperation
Hear the beauty
feel the importance
of individuality
compatilbilty
learn the joy
obtain
from harmony

THE POPE WAS KINKY, FISH DIET DISH,CLOTHING FOR HAITI
A WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL LADY, WITH AN INCREDIBLE SMILE, STARTED MY DAY...WITH WARM FEELINGS INSIDE. SHE IS ONE OF MY BLOG READERS, WHO BROUGHT DOWN MANY BAGS OF CLOTHES AND SHOES FOR THE PEOPLE SUFFERING IN HAITI. SHE READ MY PLEA FOR ALL MY READERS TO BRING CLOTHING, CLEANED, AND LABELS FOR SIZE AND SEX....AND WHEN I CAN GET ENOUGH TO FILL UP A 20 FT CONTAINER SHIP IT TO A CHAIRTY IN HAITI.
YOU COULD SEE THE JOY IN HER SMILE AND EYES..FROM GIVING.... YES GIVING TO OTHERS, GIVES JOY TO THE GIVER AS WELL....
i AM GOING TO CONTACT BILL CLINTON.....(YES FORMER PRESIDENT KINKY BILL CLINTON) TO TRY TO FIND FREE SHIPPING TO HAITI...AND AN HONEST CHARITY TO DISTRIBUTE THE CLOTHING WE COLLECT. SO I AM ASKING ALL OF YOU TO TRY AND BRING IN SOMETHING...A LITTLE AT A TIME IS FINE...AND AS THIS WONDERFUL WOMAN DID, EMAILED ALL HER MAILING LIST AND ASKED THEM TO DO THE SAME. THE POWER OF THE INTERNET......IS AWESOME..THIS COULD PYRAMID INTO SOMETHING TO REALLY HELP PEOPLE....
GIVING CLOTHING TO THE SALVATION ARMY ISNT HELPING ANYONE...YOU KNOW..EXCEPT THEM. IF THE CLOTHING IS GREAT, THEY SELL IT TO THE POOR, NOT GIVE IT AWAY. AND THE MAJORITY OF WHAT YOU GIVE THEM, THEY EITHER SELL FOR RAGS, OR SELL THEM IN BUNDLES IN AFRICA...TO PEOPLE, WHO THEN SELL THEM AGAIN TO OTHER PEOPLE AT FLEA MARKETS. IT DOENST REACH THE POOR FREE. I WILL MAKE SURE, THE PEOPLE WILL GET THESE DONATIONS COMPLETELY FREE.
SPEAKING OF BEING KINKY......A NEW BOOK THAT CAME OUT..TELLS US THAT THE LATE POPE WAS KINDY OF KINKY, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU VIEW IT,,,,THE FOLLOWING IS A LINE FROM A NEW BOOK ABOUT HIM...".John Paul flagellated himself. In his armoire, amid all the vestments and hanging on a hanger, was a belt which he used as a whip and which he always brought to Castel Gandolfo," the papal retreat where John Paul vacationed each summer."
I humbly think that whipping oneself...is not normaly behavior.....it doesnt make one a better person.....in the eyes of your GOD or your people. It is mental illness....exhibited by the head of a relgious group...I think is so silly....I think that almost anything to do with relgion is rediculous.....last week an ORTHODOX JEWISH young man , 17 years of age, was arrested for praying on a plane flight...he was putting on Tfillen, leather straps with little boxes with prayers inside.....To me, its just as tribal as African circumcism at age 13 in front of the group, and the young men cannot cry out.. (FUCKING OUCH!!!!!!!!) Drinking wine and eating little pieces of bread like substance turns into blood and flesh......and people really belive that.. Leaving wine out on PASSOVER for Elijah....as all families are supposed to do....now multiply that one glass, times the total JEWISH populatiion, is int any wonder that this spirit of ELIJAH, is rumored to be an alcoholic????? Most religous practices are down right scary, or rediculous..
Fasting....now that will make you a better person....and it seems all religons are big on self sacrifice... dont eat this or that, or dont eat or drink this on that day, or you have to clean the entirue house looking for the most minute molecule of bread....and you cant use the same set of pots, pans, dishes, silverware, etc on PASSOVER....I could go on and list all the nonsense from all groups...but enough already.....
So the POPE is kinky.....If you remember his secretary was found dead(or murdered) and the rumor was that they found all kinds of whips and chains and leather....and he was kinky too.....but it was mostly hushed up. I will look into this and get back to your with details on this guy.....
Not sure if the photos will show up, but here is the latest alternative on my fish diet with approx calories.... 3 ounces of flounder,(90 calories) a squeeze of lime, then powdered "fake" butter, that you find in the POPCORN area of the supermarket(3 calories) i slice of onion(5 calories) 1/4 cup roasted pimento (20calories) grated or powdered garlic (0 ) calories) two thin slices of tomatoes, (3 to 5 calories) a spinkly of parsely (almost zero) tablespoon of Tostitos Jalapena Cheese Sauce (20 calories)( capers optional-almost zero calories)
Microwave for 1.5min with nothing on the fish, another minute with onion on it, then put on cheese and then tomatoes on top or tomatoes then the cheese and NUKE it for another minute and half....and thats it!!! total calories... under or around 150...for a gormet meal. Servie with salad, low calorie dressing...and low calorie veggie like, stewed cabbage, broccoli or cauliflower....with fake butter powder. A great drink is diet Cranberry Pomegranate drink..only 5 calories.. Serve on ice....
YOU COULD SEE THE JOY IN HER SMILE AND EYES..FROM GIVING.... YES GIVING TO OTHERS, GIVES JOY TO THE GIVER AS WELL....

INSANE WEATHER, ANOTHER POEM FROM MY BOOK 3
ABOUT TEN O:CLOCK, THE RAIN WAS COMING DOWN SIDEWAYS. tHE WIND WAS HOWLING JUST LIKE IN A CHEAP HORROR MOVIE. THE CORRIGATED METAL ELECTRIC GARAGE DOORS WERE MAKING ALL KINDS OF NOISES AS THE WIND MADE THEM MOVE IN A MUSICAL RHYTHM. I COULD HEAR WATER DRIPPING FROM THE CEILING, BUT I COULDNT FIND WHERE IT WAS COMING IN. THE DRIVEWAY OUTSIDE THE FRONT DOOR LOOKED MORE LIKE A RIVER.
I FIGURED WE WOULDNT EVEN GET ONE CUSTOMER....ALL DAY, SO MAYBE, I SHOULD CALL OFF THE DAY...EVERYONE SHOULD GO HOME. WHY WASTE HEAT AND LIGHT?
BUT TO MY SURPRISE, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RAINING AND THE WIND GUST HIT 60MPH, WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE....THE CRAZIES CAME OUT....MISHSHUGENA MONDAY? WE EVEN MADE TWO SALES....AND EVEN GLEN IN MAHWAH DID 200. YOU NEVER KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ONE YOUNG COUPLE CAME IN, ...THEY WERE FRIENDLY.....THEY ASKED THE BEST PRICE ON A VERY NICE DRESSER THAT WAS PRICES 375, i SAID THEY COULD HAVE IT FOR 300....THEY OFFERED ME 100. I SUPPOSED THAT IS ALL THE MONEY THEY HAD, AND I WASNT ANGRY...BUT TOLD THEM I WOULD GIVE THEM 100 FOR SIMILAR DRESSERS IF THEY OCULD BRING THEM IN FOR ME...THEN THE GIRL GOT A BIT BITCHY AND SAID," I CANT JUSTIFY SPENDING 300 DOLLARS FOR MASS PRODUCED FURNITURE" I DIDNT ARGUE WITH HER, BUT i EXPLAINED IT COSTS 100 TO TO GO OUT AND PICK ONE OF THEM UP.....
THAT WAS THE HIGHLITE OF THE DAY...ONE LADY BENT DOWN AND GOT UP TOO FAST AND BNGED HER HEAD ON A COAT RACK....OTHER WISE.....THE DAY WAS VERY BORING...NO REDICULOUS PHONE CALLS...EXCEPT THERE WAS ONE FROM INDIA.... YES, YOU KNOW, THE OUTSOURCING PEOPLE.... ONE OF MY CREDIT CARDS DIDNT GET THEIR PAYMENT....FROM THE CREDIT COUNSELORS WHOM WE ALREADY PAID.....HE WAS PRESSURING ME, AND I SAID THEY HAVE TO PAY YOU...I DONT...HE GOT ANNOYING AND I HUNG UP.
ONE RECIPE...SINCE I WENT ON A DIET...ABOUT 1500 CALORIES A DAY......(THINK i LOST TEN POUNDS SO FAR?) I TOOK TWO FILETS OF FLOUNDER (FORGOT TO WEIGH IT) AND PUT GARLIC POWDER ON IT...THEN POURED LEMON JUICE ON IT FOR TEN MINUTES... POURED OFF MOST OF THE LEMON, AND THEN MICROVAED IT FOR THREE MIN..THEN COVERED IT WITH SLICES OF ROASTED RED PEPPER. AND TWO TABLE SPOONS OF jALAPENO CHEESE SAUCE (40 CALORIES) AND SLICES OF JARRED LEMON GRASS....THEN MICROWAVED IT FOR ANOTHER MINUTE AND HALF.. TIME WILL VARY WITH MICROWAVES.
YOU CAN CHANGE THE FLAVORS BY ADDING CAPERS,OR THIN SLICES OF ONION, SHIVES, GREEN ONIONS,MUSHROOMS, JALPENAS, OR ANY HIGH FLAVOR LOW CALORIE ITEMS.. tHE TOTAL CALORIC CONTENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 280. wITH ONE FILLET, 180 AND VERY TASTY.....I HAVE LEARNED TO USE HOT SAUCE, PEPPER OR JALAPENAS...WHEN THE FOOD IS SPICY, YOU DRINK MORE WATER.........AND FILL UP MORE...

To view the world

Destiny prearranged

corrupts and perverts reality
making the world not much different

there can be another way
To view the world
and appease the gods and spirits
Destiny prearranged
by minds deranged
by belief systems based on fantasy
corrupts and perverts reality
making the world not much different
than the world presented
in a three dimensional cartoon
comedy horror show
ending when the PIG says
"that's all folks"
and is shot to death

The begining of a mitzvah-good deed
Everyone now is donating money, the televiosn and radio and internet is blasting continuously the disaster in HAiti, as it should. But eventually, there will be other events that will replace the headlines of today. People will slowly forget the plight of the people, when they will need us the most.
The first wave of charity, will move people into safer conditions... They will feed them and offer medical care. MOvemens will be made into building and rebuilding schools and hositals...roads, airports and other public needs.
I am looking into the future. Millions are out of work and will remain out of work . They will have barely enough money for food. Clothing will be hard to get and hard to afford. SO, I have this idea, which I am putting into motion RIGHT NOW. I want everyone reading this block to start collecting all kinds of clothing (only summer clothing) shoes, belts, socks, sandles, underwear,....Please have them clean...I will store them in my wearhouse on shelves until I can get a 20 foot container collected... In the mean time whiel colelcting, I will be contacting containing and shipping companies to donate their dervices in delivering the container to a worthwile chairity. I will directly contact BILL CLINTON and GEORGE BUSH (OMG me and GEORGE BUSH, my favortie person to hate, since NIXON) They will point me in the right direction...so the people will get the clothing, and not fall intot he hands of criminals who would sell them. I do not know if the Red Cross is the right organization...
I also will ask all of you who will dontate...to mark the size of the donation...so we can pack them according to size, and gender.
I will also ask you to ask everyone you know...for something..Doesnt have to be giant donations....anything nice and in good condition will be great.
We will be accpeting donations 7days 10-6. Please bring them in plastic bags. thanks ...MAUry
I will try to come up with a name for the MITZVAH....And print something up....then I will also ask all of you who read my blog....to even go to stores or anyother business that might have leftovers, overruns, out of date, irregular..that they might donate. One container 20ft can clothe a thousand people..... maybe more..I am not good with clothing logistics....although, a 20ft contair holds about 50 pieces of antique furniture.

EDDIES BIRTHDAY, STORE STUFF, DIDNT READ ABOUT HAITI AT ALL TODAY
I WANT TO START BY SAYING I WAS OVERDOSING ON SADNESS, WATCHING AND FEELING HELPLESS...CONSTANT NEWS ON DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AND THE FRUSTRATION OF POLITICS PREVENTING AID..BUT THEN AGAIN, I HAVE TO AGREE THAT THE ARMY HAD TO BE THERE TO PROTECT BOTH THE PEOPLE AND THE AID WORKERS...THERE ARE DECISIONS THAT HAD TO BE MADE.....THEY HAD TO DO WHAT THEY HAD TO DO....EVEN IF IT PROLONGERD THE FOOD AND WATER. UNRULY STARVING PEOPLE BECOME MURDEROUS MOBS. AND THAT HAD TO BE PREVENTED.
I NEEDED A DAY OFF. bUT, THE NEWS JUST WENT ON....AND THE SADNESS CONTINUES....
jUST THINK HAD NATURE....NOT HAVE WAITED UNTILL 2010.....HAD IT BEEN 100 YEARS BEFORE, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO COMMUNICATION EXCEPT (MAYBE) THE TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH.... THERE WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ANY AIRPLANES TO BRING FOOD,WATER AND HELP, ITHIN DAYS. IT IS STILL HORRIBLE....BUT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAVED ALREADY...SOME SURVIED BY MEDICAL HELP, AMPUTATIONS, MEDICATIONS...THAT ALREADY HAVE ARRIVED. THE TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND WOULD HAVE DIED, BUT WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, THE MAJORITY OF THE SURVIVORS WILL GET FOOD,WATER, AND MEDICINES....MEDICINE THAT DIDNT EXIST BACK THEN. MILLIONS WOULD HAVE DIED FROM DISEASE AND HUNGER..HAD THIS BEEN YEARS AGO..
tHE EMPLOYEES OF GRANNYS ATTIC, ARE MORE THAN EMPLOYEES. THEY ARE PART OF THE GREAT GRANNYS DISFUNCTIONAL FAMILY. EVERYONE CARES ABOUT EVERYONE....GLEN HAS BEEN A APRT OF IT FOR 36YEARS, HIS BROTHER JOHN 26, RICH 18 YEARS, EDDIE AND JUAN 8 YEARS, MIKE 12 YEARS, DOTTY ON AND OFF FOR 20 YEARS......DOTTY IS OFFICICAL DEN MOTHER.....SHE NOT ONLY COOKS AND FEEDS BUDDYDOG, BUT BRINGS FOOD ON SPECIAL OCASSIONS LIKE BIRTHDAYS, AND OTHER EVENTS.. TODAY SHE BROUGHT A BUNCH OF GOODIES.....AND A FABULOUS CUSTARD CAKE, COVERED WITH FRESH FRUITS....WITH PINK CANDLES...FOR EDDIE TO LIGHT AND BLOW OUT. DOTTY BROUGHT THE INCREDIENTS TO MAKE TUNA-MOLE, A TUNA SALAD WITH TOMATOES, AVOCADOS, CILANTRO,ONION, LIME JUICE,AND FINELY CHOPPED JALAPINOS...SERVED IN VARIOUS MEXICAN AND OTHER BREADS,,,A NICE GREEN SALAD... WE ATE, AND THEN SANG, AND SHOWED EDDIE OUR LOVE.... AND WE DO THIS FOR EVERYONE.....
wHAT MAKES BEING IN THE STORE TOLERABLE.....EVEN IF WE MAKE A FE NICE SALES, UNLESS THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE STORE MOST OF THE TIME, SCHMOOZING....PEOPLE COMING IN TO SELL US STUFF....OR GOING OUT ON HOUSE CALLS..IT CAN GET DULL AND BORNING.....
TODAY, WE STARTED WITH JERRY (WHO WE AFFECTIONALELY CALL "OPRAH" DELIVERED SOME THINGS FROM ELLIOT....OUR GOD FATHER......TWO OF WHAT HE BROUGHT WERE DAMAGED BEYOND BELIFE AND I REFUSED DELIVERY......A MIMI ARGUEMENT ENSUED..BUT WAS SOON CALMED....JOHN WAS OUT ON A HOUSE CALL, MILE WAS ON ANOTHER HOUSE CALL, AND CUSTOMERS WERE COMING IN....FIRST ONE BOUGHT A BUNCH OF TOBY MUGS....AND FOR LUCK TO START THE DAY, I GAVE IT TO HER ABOUT HALF PRICE......SHE ACCEPTED..AND WITH IN SECONDS, AS IF RICH KNEW I JUST TOOK IN 200, HE SOLD ME A MIRROR FOR $100 AND A TABLE FOR $100... easy come....easy go......Mike came back and negotiated a deal...of trading a good painting for a piece of jewelry and 5 lladros.....didnt make any cash on the deal, but we have 5 porcelain statues supposedly worth a bunch.
John came back kvetching about the mold i the basement of the house he went to.....a house full of furniture, from the same era that my parents furniture came from...and the same store. CANES in Passaic.... a fancy schmancy store, on Monroe Street Passaic.....a street that i wouldnt want to walk on in daylight now.....and no more fancy smaller stores exist anymore.....
We then started the birthday noshfest.. A woman came in during eating my tuna-mole sandwhich, and i helped her open a box of glasses and a vase..which we made a deal.....I also went out with a woman, to her car to look at other things.....that turned out to be nothing I would even allow her to throw in our dumpster....but I do try not to be nasty, or too denegrading.....I just say, that" at this time ( and not for the next 3000 years) can I use these....They must be very sentimental.....so I suggest that you keep them a bit longer, or donate them to chairty (if you can find one desperate enough).....But sometimes, when I am tyring to be very kind, they get hostile that I dont want it and come up with more questions like "why dont you want them?" or "well I happen to know that they are valuable...or my friend told me they are worth a lot and "she knows" I love so many have friends who"know".....they have their PHD in antiques....sometimes...people do bring i thigs to sell and want more than we can get.....like the lady who wanted me to pay her 50dollars each for used Waterford CRYSTAL wine glasses.....which one can buy new in the box at their closeout store.
THen Miss KITTY from England came in....Miss Kitty is a very attractive English woman who buys antique chairs and reovers them in wild fabrics....I sold her a pair of chairs.....for 200 that I paid 200.....but only offered 125, but the person who ran the estate sale made me pay 200......and that is another story for another day.
I just wanted to take in money....and these were ugly fabric covered....no one wanted them. and a bird in the hand is better than in Barbaras BUSH
Just called ELLIOT.. His brother Bobby, who is much like RAINMAN, but does have a drivers license..and can hold down a job, driving for Elliot.....underwent the knife tonight....for an obstruction; he had colon cancer about a year ago...and this sounds bad..that a new mass developed.....it doent sound good...but all we can do is pray for the best (pray is a generic word) Bobby is a poor soul...never hurt anyone in his life. a kind gentle soul...not too bright....went thru life..with no real worries, no real happiness.....and his perception of the world.....is most different than any of ours.. He didnt have to worry about money, politics, who was president....ELliot took care of him always......
