I've only bought one thing off of eBay and that was about eight years ago, and I've never sold anything on eBay.  I gave up eBay and PayPal a few years ago after I had discovered that someone had cloned my account and was listing fake items.  Thankfully, I did not lose any money, nor did I receive any negative feedback, but it took a while to get everything straightened out.

I also recently bought a metal sculpture for my new office on eBay. It was direct from the artist and I liked that

DR Michael Shayne:

I believe I mentioned that if I saw the GONE WITH THE WIND Blu-ray being sold in a slimmer, cheaper edition than the deluxe edition, I'd write about it.

I saw the ad for the Target exclusive edition this morning in the newspaper. It's about $10-15 cheaper than the full sized edition. I have not seen if Wal-Mart is selling an even cheaper edition like they did for THE WIZARD OF OZ. There was no Wal-Mart circular in my newspaper this morning.

Thank you DRs DAW, Laura, and George,  I just wish the photos did the hike justice.   At least they capture how cute Sherlock is, at least most of the time he is.  I’m not very happy when he goes exploring in the woods when I want him close to me.

I'm up, I'm up - another slept late day, but I guess I really needed it after two or three weeks of six hours a night.

Cason is on his way - he warned me that he has a really bad cold (this is his second in six weeks), and normally I would try not to be around anyone with a very bad cold, but I cannot do this stuff all by myself.  As it is, I do every other Kritzerland thing by myself (from getting projects to picking up tapes, to getting them to the transfer guy, to editing and titling cues and sequencing to doing the liner notes, proofing and approving all of it - I just can't also do the shipping all by myself because it's addressing, doing the postage, now doing all those customs slips and it's just impossible for one person).

Maybe I'll go out and get some Coldeez or Airborne just to try and put a lid on it.  We can also do the majority of the addressing outside, which will probably help, but the postage stuff has to be done inside.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  We are back from Lima and Richard is outside clearing the last (we hope) of the leaves from the back yard.  I'm about to watch the third episode of Season 2 of Mad Men.

TOD - I only used eBay a couple of years ago when I decided that for each Vera Bradley bag I also HAD to have the coin purse (for my iPod) and the clam shell eyeglass case.  Of course, all my patterns were discontinued so eBay was the only place I knew to look for them.  Now, there are a couple of Facebook groups for buying/selling/trading Vera and I've gotten smart enough to buy those 2 items before they go "out of print" in the retail stores.

My friend Jason Howard is taking Rodney Gilfry's role in SOUTH PACIFIC whle Rodney is in Paris with THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Jason is on John Yap's recordings of THE KING & I and SHOW BOAT; he's a wonderful baritone.

Rodney Gilfry did an episode of Arthur. But I don't think he learned the value of money.

Just trying to make things come full circle.

I did watch FLASHFORWARD while I ate lunch. A good episode, and while not quite as good as those of the previous two weeks, it is moving the story ahead (even if it's with baby steps).

Then I watched CHASING AMY on Blu-ray. The Blu-ray looks nice (but not exemplary; JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK looked better), and the sound is very good indeed.

The movie is actually more deeply probing of sexual identity and feelings than a lot of films that claim to be actually are. I really enjoyed seeing it again and appreciating some really good performances that are being given.
