I’m sorry about your husband. How did you manage as a “young widow”? I’ve looked into therapy groups but they consider young widows to be in their 50’s. I guess I’m a baby widow?
I’m so excited! My first grab bag anything! I managed to get one for myself and one for Alyssa. I know she’s hoping for a blue one lol.
I could use a good whine…… I hate being in my house as the only adult! Everything has decided to break since Danny died! My furnace stopped working and I’ve been running on emergency heat ALL winter. Even my emergency heat has decided to crap out here and there. I have a brand new furnace sitting in my back room but my dad doesn’t want to come and install it until the weather gets warmer :/. I’ve asked my dad a million times to help me fix my attic stairs, snake my downstairs toilet because it keeps clogging every other flush, help me fix the molding on the half installed floor downstairs, etc, etc. I also hate that I have to rely on total strangers to watch my kids so I can go to work. I hate that neither my parents or inlaws will help me with the kids when they are off and I have to work. I hate that when I voice my frustration on the subject to my mother she tells me “oh well you have to do what you have to do”. I hate that she tells me to get over it “it’s not like someone died”……:/. I hate that everyone dropped off the face of the earth and no one talks to me anymore. I must have the plague and no one told me. I have a much longer list but the twins just woke up so I have some diapers to change.
Is there any idea when they might hit the store? This week? Next week? It’s hard for me to watch the store with my herd of kids keeping me busy. Also I know it will be one per person so if I wanted to get one for myself and my daughter would that be possible? She’s started collecting the dragons and has already “borrowed” some of mine lol!
Does anyone know how much these guys might go for? I don’t have any grab bag anything and I’m crossing my fingers I can get one of these.
Lifes been pretty crappy since he passed. Once everyone figured out he didn’t have a life insurance policy they stopped coming around. Then the babysitter I had to hire so I could continue working physically and emotionally abused my oldest. My furnace broke along with a bunch of small things in the house that I can’t take care of by myself but oh well. I just keep trucking along. My daughter is now hooked on Windstones though and keeps begging me to give her all my blue dragons lol! I told her I will start her a collection after things settle down. I did get a pyo dragon to paint for her but the twins won’t give me a moments peace to paint it. They’ve learned how to climb things and give mommy mini heart attacks.
Alyssa turned 6 in January and started school this year which makes me feel old. We had twins in July last year, a girl and boy then Danny’s health took a major dump and after trying to get him another double lung transplant at Duke University he passed away in June. I’ve been in a pretty deep hole since then but I keep going for the kids. I stopped coming on here because Melody makes too many pretties that I don’t have the money for lol. I’ve lurked on the boards but couldn’t remember my password to log in and today I finally touched my computer and low and behold the password was saved on here :/ Sooooo I figured I would post lol.
Actually I know there were two white old warriors that made it out of the factory unsigned. One of them was mine. I was told I could ship him back to be signed but I didn’t want to chance him getting broken being shipped across country twice so I just had Melody sign my rainbow old warrior instead. I can’t remember who else had the other white old warrior that wasn’t signed but I know there is at least one more.
Well I’m not going to give him away. I’m open to offers but if they only go for $300 I’ll just keep him and sell something else.
I caught them right after they went in the store but wasn’t expecting them to be so much so needless to say I couldn’t get one.
The large bat winged flap cat and two smaller flap cats were still there. They wanted $100 for the large one and I think $50 for the small ones but the two small ones were not mint. I called ahead and paid for them over the phone since it was an hour and a half drive for me to get there.
I was driving on the Back River bridge when the quake hit and I thought I was losing a tire on my car. Danny was asking me what the heck I was doing. I had no idea it was an earthquake until I tried to call my grandparents and I couldn’t get through on my cell phone. I could text and get on the internet but I couldn’t make a phone call until maybe two hours after it happened. When I did get home all the dolls I had on top of my display cases had fallen but lucky for me none of the windstones were damaged.
Tandy leather sells a kit that has most of the tools you need to get started http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/home/department/Tools/4899-00.aspx?feature=Product_10.
If I was smart I would have just bought this but I’ve been buying bits and pieces here and there. You can pick up leather strips for $20 bucks and conchos cost anywhere between $2-$5 a piece. It starts to add up when you have a lot of stuff added to the collar.
