Charity call again...

Sorry Mamacita! I thought for sure you would have got it while I was on the phone....

I tried....congratulations Suzy...Charity call indeed..all you had to do was wait....

Time to feed the dogs I'll be back later. Somebody else is trying to get that pair of pheasants.

Hi Julie, good day today, no D&D. How is your day?

I'm tired now folks...so I think I will see you all on the flipside...
Keeping my fingers crossed for you Heidi...
Goodnight all

This particular charity has called before. We agreed to send in a donation but they sent the forms to the wrong address - as we found out when they called us up and abused us for not sending the money. The woman continued to be rude after it was established that it was their error. They don't get our money anymore.

Night Mamacita, sleep well.

Heidi - there was never any explanation for the Christmas sightings. I distinctly remembering seeing the tracks in the snow. I can only assume that my grandfather and his brother (my great uncle lived with my grandparents) devised something to make those tracks. We never got any explanation - even as adults. But I'm not sure any of the 6 of us really PRESSED for the explanation. As to my sister seeing Santa, sled and reindeer come over the top of the hill, I assume she just had a vivid dream. (I think she was 5 or 6 at the time.)

Congrats on winning the first bid for the red golden pheasants, Heidi!

Thanks for sharing your Christmas story, Mamacita! I can just imagine being on the roof after a few beers - especially if there was snow on the roof.

Mamacita, I hope your back feels better soon! I'm glad you've decided to do the C decorations!

night all, see you sometime in the night I imagine. I never can get up without checking the pages you know hehehe.

Broni, I like your new avatar!

Suzy, thank you for the explanation of the coursework your hubby is doing. I like his sense of humor.

Good Night, Mamacita! Sleep well!

Good luck getting the next couple of pheasants, Heidi! We're pulling for you!

Good Night, MizT! Pleasant dreams!

I have to go too Julie - big afternoon/evening in this household! Night!

Broni... What IS that new avatar? My bifocals can't make it out.

MizT, and

Heidi, I don't know if Broni is still around. Her light isn't on. (Neither is yours. Or did I forget to ask you to be my friend?) I think it's a basset hound sniffing an ornament or a light on the Christmas tree.

Mamacita... to you, too.

I'm on lurk mode. No reason. Just the mood I'm in. You ARE on my friend's list, sweetheart.

Now that you've described it, I can make out the Basset checking out the tree. I hope it's a female, or things could get ugly.

Now to go back to eggbid for a mo.

You're so right, Heidi! I assume it's female because Bella is a female! How have you been feeling Heidi? Does a little extra sleep (when you can get it) help?

How is the bidding going for the next pheasants?

I'm feeling pretty good now. I'm back to normal hours of sleep, but I don't have all my energy back yet. But it's a good start.

The bidding has slowed down, but I expect my competitor will wait until the last few seconds for her next raise.

There are 33 minutes to go. The bidding is at the maximum I set earlier. If I raise it now, I bid against myself. That's another difference from eBay.

I'm gonna do a puzzle or 2 to calm myself down.

Sorry got sidetracked in the garden. Heidi, Julie is right about my avatar it came out a bit small. don't think this one is much bigger. Yikes I hope it's a female otherwise a present under the tree I don't want hehe!

Sorry, Heidi, I forgot to refresh the page. It's getting close to the end of bidding on the next pair. Good luck!

Hi, Broni! I had to look pretty closely to make out your avatar, but it's cute! It's too bad avatars can't be a bit bigger, but I guess maybe 50 x 50 is the industry standard.

Yes Julie and this one had a white area around it but it is soooo cute! Countdown to bidding!

I am not here! I don't have enough time to do the stuff on my list, but I have 15 minutes until my student arrives so I thought I'd catch up with the posts.

Broni, I admit to squinting and getting up close to your avatar before I realised how really cute it is!

Based on Heidi's last post we'll know in a minute if she got it...

Julie, I think you got post 3333!

Really, Suzy? I don't remember who got 1111 and 2222. Was it Heidi?

That was post # 3355, I see.

Keeping fingers crossed for Heidi. I think this bid was for a male and female.

Suzy, did your student arrive?

Yes, it was Heidi - who isn't going for TOPPS but must be going for special numbers....

Ruby got 1000, I got 777.

I WON 2 pairs!!!!!
