Oh! How blond am I?

Eh, I wouldn`t worry about it, Chris - I thought the same thing you did!

Don`t get me started on Ebay. Luckily, I have been able to keep myself away pretty well. But when I go shopping there, it can turn ugly fast ;-)


Ever since I bought a 64 foot long conveyor belt oven my wife won`t let me on eBay without adult supervision.

Ok... may I be nosy for a moment? What the heck does a person need a 64 foot conveyor belt for? *L*

To make cookies.
Lots and lots of cookies.
Lots and lots of gluten free cookies.

After buying that oven I found a complete cookie factory fully equipped with a conveyor belt oven, a mixer that can handle 500 pounds of cookie dough, etc. So actually, right now I have two conveyor belt ovens. Know anyone who would like one?

Lol  I`ll mention it to the caterer that I know. He buys new kitchen gadgets all the time. I am ever-amazed at the amount he drops into the kitchen- yowza!

Well, I sell on Ebay a lot (powerseller)however I rarely buy on Ebay just because I know what`ll happen if I start.

My current collections include:

  • Titanic stuff

       Although I`ve found that interest causes me to want to collect other disaster collectibles and I`m not sure that`s healthy!

  • Weapons

The blow dart is my favorite because it`s so accurate.  Unfortunately, I`m finding this interest scares off some people (especially the men).

  • Shoes

Shoes are my weakness.  I`ve always collected shoes.  My closets are filled!  Just can`t get enough of those cute shoes.  $$$ is no object when it comes to a pair I just have to have in my "collection".  And, I`m not giving this collection up for anything~  I`m might be a disaster collecting, weapon wielding kinda girl but I`ll always look good in these shoes!

I`m curious where that devious mind of yours is going.

For you I`d make a deal.

Wow this thread has been collecting dust.  Let me brush some of that off.

My brother Jason collects antique Steiff puppets and whenever I run across one for a good deal I`ll nab it. 

I don`t really have an extensive collection of anything but I would like to have a substantial wine cellar one day and a collection of original art. I do like to browse Ebay for orignal paintings and some strange outsider art but I don`t buy much.

I would also one day like to collect instrumets of all kinds and have a "music room" where I can go and start playing any one of them at any time.

Collecting is such a popular hobby with people but I`ve never had much of a collection mentallity....I just can`t seem to get hyped up about having a lot of one kind of something when there are sooo many great somethings in this world.

Model train collectors freak me out because so many of them have a pure obsession that consumes their lives so intensely I think that they almost have to be tuning out the rest of the world...........heh. I guess that`s the whole point! 

 I would guess that all of us have heard a story at one time or another about some guy who had a his entire basement filled with scale model trains floor to ceiling and just marvelled at how many hours, days, years, were spent on their "collection" or hobby.

I used to have a lot more collections than I do now. I guess I just don`t want to have to find spaces for all of that stuff. I still have all of my Barbies and some old coins and paper bills. Beyond that, I`ve cleaned out a lot of my stored stuff. Guess you could say I`m on a cleaning kick. It started with the basement and is spreading to the rest of the house.
