Baaba, shows off his body modifications based on his Aboriginal Heritage. Tons more! Some slight wrinkles/creasing. Visit me at BONANZA, the new alternative to those auction sites!



10 Things Which Irritate Me

1. People who say "ideals" instead of "ideas." 
2. When the person behind the big red clown face, arches, etc..at the drive thru says "I'll take your order when u r ready."  So you start to talk and they say "Hold on a minute." Is this rocket science?
3. Parents who allow their children to have screaming fits and tantrums in the  store, bank, cafe...etc.  "Now Johnny, please stop screaming for Mommy..."  GET SERIOUS>>>take that kid outta there !!!
4. People who are close-minded.
5.  People who insist on clothing which is age inappropriate, too tight, too baggy, too loud, too slutty,  just because they make it in your size, or the size you wish you were...Just because it's your size doesn't mean u should wear it.  Do not be a GLAMOUR fashion DON"T.
6. Hypocrisy
7. Parents who never attend their children's plays, sporting events, recitals, etc...unless: They will be on tv, the news will be there, they are making a commercial or are being investigated for something. (Hey everyone, see what a good parent I am)
8. People who ride your ass in the slow lane....because they can't figure it out...(You know the type...YOU are in the SLOW LANE...they are behind YOU....Horns BLARING, on your bumper, fingers FLIPPING, and lights FLASHING....hey dumbass, I am going slow, thats why I'm in the SLOW LANE!!! Pass on the left!
9. People who force us to pass on the right on the freeway...you know the type. Out for a Sunday drive, doing 45MPH is the passing lane.  WHO OWN THE ROAD AND WILL NOT MOVE!!!  You agonizingly follow them for miles, as traffic builds into the next county...They are the reason "rush hour" is slow.  "Please God, make these idiots to move, I'm begging you...don't make me PASS ON THE RIGHT!" When you do....they flip you off.
10.  When they open a new checkout line in the grocery store and don't say "I'll take the next person in line."  I swear, when that light goes on...if you can't get out of the way, curl up in a ball!!1 Stop, drop, and roll...the stampede will come from the back of the store.

About Me

A little about me...I'm a married female in my forties, and no, I won't tell you where in my forties I am.  I have one Son, who is almost 17, and a fantastic husband, we've been married 3 months.  We have 4 dogs, 2 chinchillas and 2 fish tanks.

I enjoy selling/buying online. I have sold for years on ebay, and I have recently begun selling on Bonanza.  My booth is here   http://www.bonanza.com/booths/Vintagepaper66.

I have a strong interest in magazine back issues and other paper collectibles such as magazine prints and other ephemera   I have a little of everything, Ford, GM, Chrysler print ads, Jell-o, Bon Ami, and more. I also have a lot of tattoo and body piercing magazines, fiction and non-fiction books, and, once in a while some really bizarre items. You should stop by and check it out.

We picked up some beautiful vintage china today made by the Johnson Brothers from England. It's "The Old Mill" pattern, made from the 40's through the 70's, and it's really exquisite. Went to this old warehouse in Cleveland, Ohio. The place was such a mess it seriously looked as if a bomb went off and scattered the contents of the building everywhere. I managed to get myself trapped in a corner, I went in easy enough, but couldn't figure how to get back out! But the finds...wow!

The building used to be an old meat packing plant and was really interesting all by itself. I'm sure it would have some stories to tell.
I'm new at this blogging thing, not sure if anyone will be interested, but check back oftion...every once in a while I have something profound to say!
