Well. That Jewelry deal fell through. They got my rings and then they called and had lowered the offer so much that I wouldn't take the deal so they are sending them back to me. Guess I learned another lesson. And I'm so afraid they might have switched my good diamonds for fake ones in those rings. Guess I'll find out quick enough when I take them somewhere. Now I'm in panic mode because I won't have the money for my car registration and inspection. I'm putting the stuff on Craig's List. I called Freeman & Foote Jewelers in Utica. They buy jewelry and gold. Trouble is I'd have to travel up there for them to look at it.
And Jane was going to take my jewelery to a gold party tomorrow night but I won't have my rings back till Thursday. I had told her not to bother because I thought I was selling them.
I'm getting depressed now. I was taking pictures of stuff in my apartment that maybe I could sell. I have a nice floor lamp. Went to take a picture and had to move something out of the way and it knocked that floor lamp over and broke the glass globe in it. I just about cried. Now I guess I can't sell that. I can get a replacement globe at Mohawk Electric but what's the use. It would cost me $15 or more and I don't know how much I could have gotten for the lamp. I'm not good at selling stuff. I always gave all my stuff away. But now I'm getting desperate for money and will have to try and get what I can.
I thought I was going to be dead by now and not have to worry about anything any more. I could give my car up but I really hate to do that. Then I'd have to depend on people to take me places. That's my last Independence I have in my life at the moment. I feel like crying. But I'll get through this hurdle somehow. I've never been in this situation before.
Anyway. Today is my brother, Steve's birthday. He's 61 years old. I never see him and didn't bother to send him a card this year. I've sent all those kids cards all my life. And never a thank you. So to hell with it.
I guess you all can tell I'm not in a very good mood today. That doesn't happen often. It's a hot and humid day also and that doesn't help.
So I guess it's back to finding things to sell. I do have a nice Video DVD-CAM that's hardly ever been used. It has those mini discs. You can take video and put the discs right into a DVD player afterwards and watch. But with my camera having video I've never really needed that camera. So I will try and sell that also. It cost me almost $400 a few years ago. Bought it on QVC and could make payments so it wasn't that bad. And I had a credit card at that time. I don't any more. So I have nothing to fall back on. I have external drives too that I could sell I guess. I have three but could empty one. Those are always nice to have. Just plug it in and move stuff to it or off it. I have a lot of little electronic gadgets. But things get outdated fast and no one wants them.
Hopefully I'll be in a better mood next time I write. I did get a laugh last night when a mommy skunk brought all her babies down again. There were other babies up over the top of the rock wall and they were all stamping their feet at each other. Sure wish I could have seen over that wall better to get video. I did get some video of them when they came down closer. The little stinkers. None of them sprayed though. Later on a big one must have. They stink.
Take care everyone and hope you all are having a better day than I am..Ha!

Ginny, wonder could you sell your story and your wildlife photos? Both are unique and beautiful! You are an excellent writer and photographer - I used to be a newspaper editor so I know a little about it. The story of your childhood is facinating and your struggle with the cancer could help other people. Magazines might buy these things.
I have read every word of your blogs and it took me about 24 solid hours and it was like a book I couldn't put down! After the first few hours of reading I remember thinking "Wow, this could be a book or movie!"
Anyway, I'll be thinking about you and praying for you, after my own fashion.
Wow! Thanks so much for the compliment Di. I have never thought of selling anything. I never thought my photos were anything special and I don't have a real great camera. I wouldn't know where to even start. I have bought mugs with pictures on them for gifts and I make tee-shirt transfers for my grandkids sometimes with the critters. I have had a few books printed of all my animals through Blurb.com. These were for the Grandchildren also. That story about my childhood I had printed out through this Blogger. It came out nice except for each date that I entered a post was on it. I didn't like that. Now they have better features but I can no longer afford to have books printed out. But at least I do have some. My sister has some also. I had all our past Christmases put into a book so she can take them to all the Christmas parties in the future. I was more concerned on getting things taken care of for the family to remember. I might look into the photo selling area. But they have to be very high quality I would presume. Thanks Di!!
Ginny,
If you need help with anything, even money just say so. We may not have alot but we would sure help in anyway we could!
