Its just that I am absolutely fed up with spurious junk in my searches. Must be getting old, crotchety and really fixed in my Victorian views! Next stop: slippers, dressing gown, drooling and sitting in front of a wide screen TV.

I'm feeling kinda old and crotchety right now myself. My son has torn apart his car and let the oil run all over the garage floor and down the drain Eek Mad Roll Eyes Frown
My house is only 7 years old. I think he just trashed the garage. I'm not a happy momma........."sigh" do they ever really grow up?

MG: as long as he doesn't start a fire - be greatful. My nephew filled mine with water to swim (splash around in) when it got to six inches The garage pulled away from the house and garage door was so bent it no longer would open. Cost over six grand. That's when I stopped baby sitting ALL the kids And there offspring.
My neighbors son was cleaning parts with gas and his friend playfully flipped a cig butt into the parts pan. Neither were killed but got burned, putting out the fire.

CC: Agree with you but you HAVE given me a good tip as have never sold anything before. The key to anything is abuse.. I also want to thank you for working on my Logo .....

Never BUY labels again!! check this out........(copied and pasted from another ebay seller)
.................................................
Receive FREE labels forever. Simply go to www.ups.com and create an account. On the main page, click on your country. Then click on Register. The next page you Agree to terms of Service. Fill in all of the contact information and click continue. This brings you to the page where you Create your User Information. Choose a user ID and password and click continue. Your registration is now complete. Click on LOG IN. Input your User ID and password.



On the right hand side of the page click on ‘ Get UPS Labels, Paks and more. You’re now on the UPS Supplies Page. Click on the link for UPS labels, paks and more. This will bring you to the account page. You’ll need to click on ‘Open a UPS Account’ (left side of page) . (this will only have to be done once, and each time you return, just put in your account number) Fill in the shipping needs however you see fit. (Important: In order to get all the different labels, including 4 to a sheet and thermal labels you need to have a business name when you create your account. If not you’ll be limited to the two to a page 5 ½ x 8 ½ only. If you don’t have a business, make one up. It’s no big deal as they don’t verify it.) To get a bigger variety of labels put 1.“Ground” 2.“Business” and 3. ‘ NO’ then click Continue. On the next page be sure and make your account ‘ Occasional Account’ Then click continue. This brings you to your account information. Again, if you wish to get a bigger variety of free supplies, put in a business name. At the bottom check for location and billing information is the same. Then click continue. On this page, there should be nothing further to fill in, just click continue. Make sure all the information on here is correct (especially your address so you get the free labels!) and click Submit.



Now.. you can again click on ‘Get UPS Labels, Paks and more’ Put in your account number and postal code. Click continue. Make sure all the information is correct and click continue. You’ve now come to the page where you can order supplies. Under current order click on ‘Add Supplies’ There’s several different places to click and see what they have available. All supplies are free. What everyone is selling is under UPS ONLINE and click the circle next to Labels. Then click Select. And there you have it. Just put in the number of sheets you wish to order. Then Click on Add/View Order. You’ll see a list of what you’ve ordered. And then click Submit.



And you’re finished! Your labels will be shipped to you quickly. They’ll arrive via UPS. And they’re FREE. Obviously the next time you go to order supplies you won’t have to do all of the above. Just input in your account information and user ID and go to the same order supplies.



A couple other things to note: You will also receive a ‘Welcome Kit’ from UPS. And a few days after you’ve created your account you will get a phone call from UPS. They just ask a few simple questions like ‘ Did you receive your welcome kit ‘ “which method do you think you’ll ship by the most? Ground, Air etc… I said ground. ‘How many packages do you plan to ship each week?’ I said I wasn’t sure since I was just getting my business started. Then they say if there’s anything they can do for you, just call. The phone call only takes a few minutes and you can easily wing your way through it.

Sounds better than $10-$5, or even less!

Somebody please point out what is wrong with the Hacker auction?
You can only see it if you highlight it, but at the very bottom of the discription, are the words 'roberts grundig yacht boy retro sony helmsman sovereign revival hunter bush super vintage'.

You can't see it because the font color is white. Any search in titles and description containing any of these words will return his auction as a match.

If the seller had included the unrelated brands in the title, I would tend to agree. Because they are in the body of the description and are very discreet, I rather admire the cleverness of the seller rather than condemn him.

IMHO, you're over reacting this time! (This of course is coming from an American whose airport security now confiscates fingernail clippers!) Roll Eyes

It has certainly been a long day! My feet hurt Frown

I figured the seller on the labels had done something sneaky with ups ... but I really don't want an account with them so the little $$ I paid was worth it Smile Eventually one of us will turn him in, or they'll figure out he can't have subsidiaries in all these places!

Along the same line ... almost every company I've worked for has ordered credit card supplies (ribbons, paper) from outside sources ... it's pretty expensive and I love to watch the color drain from their faces when I tell them supplies are free from the bank you have your credit card account with Wink I guess that's why so many outside sources cold call with the, "we've realized you haven't placed an order for a while ... do you need more supplies?". Now THAT'S not nice!

Or ... the promotional companies that try to sell you advertising materials ... don't ever give them your name .... even when you say no, you'll soon be receiving a gross of pens C.O.D.!

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'
We're at $1.78. My son almost had a stroke when he saw the prices. Of course in Iraq the army just pulls up and fills the tank, no paying. But he said the gas is about 15 CENTS!! I can't imagine!
I'm going to be outside today. It's only 8:38 and it's 50 degrees!! yippeeeeeeeeee Big Grin

Good Afternoon Everyone: Just read the Label Litany-- Just went back and printed My World Map as a 4 sheet poster(On The Labels) and am sticking it on a old cork board I used to have in the kitchen. I did it last month but it was too small. I think this might work. I am o making Flags on a display pins for each of my friends so I can have a mental picture of where I'm talking & the time. Haven't figured out the time yet - times drive me nuts.. Just something different to do.
Made some bread pudding out of the last of the
cinnamon rolls and decided to Crock Pot the Corned beef so meals are set for the next 2 days.
Mrs. M havent't found the rebuilts on Kitchen Aid yet. I need two splash guards and want four of the stainless Pot liners for the 6 qt.
They hold Ice under the 6qt bowl while whipping. I want four of those. will use them for salads in summer. I really go nuts for anything stainless. Yesterday I found Stain less Salt & Pepper shakers on the
Shaver Site. Boy that guy has a wiered site - he has Army clothes & Pith helmets scattered for sale among the Kitchen items. and every other listing is some kind of Pink Flamingo item from hats to plastic Yard birds. When an item comes up it has a Sound Affect playing. Has little cocktail umbrellas and plays calypso while your reading about them and the origin of Coctail umbrellas. He must have his own server for all the bandwidth he's using.
