I'm sorry- just click on the words "this auction."

Hey, guys, click on the following: to see another wacko ebay auction!

Not a rule or anything like that, but I've found that >>THIS<< makes it easier to recognize a link.

..had a cell phone and the number that popped up as the next number to issue was 292-2000; it was neat having a number that was so EASY to remember.

Lol, either there are a lot of people out the that are wacko or have more money than they know what to do with!!

Some people have too much disposable income!

Now, if Pennsylvania 6-5000 were to come up ... !

The phone number mentioned in the recording

Yep ... I'm partial to the Glenn Miller version, but Brian Setzer's is good too

Awww! It ended early

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

I love Glenn Miller..I have that one!..and many more! "King of Swing"

I'm listening to 'Shoo Fly Pie' as I type this

Several years ago I found a nice victrola for a good price ... I blast my neighbors with it occasionally

When I was young I was forced to watch that durned bouncing ball and to sing along with some guy named 'Mitch'. I think it was a conspiracy to make me like good music

Darn the luck, anyway. And it cost 60 grand less than Jenny's New York number. A steal!

LOL, well, it seemed to work! I have lots of music from the 30s, 40s and early 50s. I love music when it really said something and you could dance to it!

That's why I liked disco ... discernable vocals and most of it was modernized swing. I also like motown, bubble gum and pop (yes - I really *do* have 25+ Petula Clark albums). Actually, I like everything except acid-rock and twangy country-western [but I enjoy rock-a-billy].

I think I was born a generation or two too late I think I'd look pretty good in a Zoot Suit!

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

I saw her in person in Biloxi, MS about 4 years ago. It was a great show!

In the don't like category, I'll add rap!

I saw Pet in Vegas (1977). It was by far, the best dinner show I've ever seen. Then I saw her locally in a production of Sunset Blvd. She wasn't having a good night ... but it was still enjoyable.

I didn't mention it as I don't consider it music

Someone's bound to flame us now!

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

It seems she had had breast cancer about that time.

Lol, I started to say that!!!

Two of the best one's I've seen were Wayne Newton and Liberace...Wayne is multitalented!! He can play anything and sing!...one of the worst was Lorreta Lynn.

Musical - Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Chicago comes a very close second - the play, not the movie). West Side Story is also in my top 5 ... I think I'm a Russ Tamblyn freak

Musical Variety Show - tie between Rosemary Clooney Show, Judy Garland Show and Nat's show

Vocalist - Male - Michael Feinstein, Nat 'King' Cole (no, I'm not a Frank[ie] fan)

Vocalist - Female - Petula, Janis Ian, Karen Carpenter, Rosemary and Bette Midler

Big Band - Glenn Miller, although Tommy and Jimmy are up there too.

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

Danke Schoen! I would like to see him too. Dionne Warwick was nice in concert, but vocal only - not the 'show' pet put on

Lorreta ... fits into my 'Twangy Country' category! I'll make an exception for Dolly though!
Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

I am not familar with Janis Ian. I do like the rest of th entire list. Thinking of the talented Karen, makes me sad. Such a waste of life.

I've actually registered 'KDEAD.COM' ... when internet radio legalities settle down I plan on doing a little internet radio show ...

KDEAD - All Dead, All Day - Only songs performed by those that have passed on

I swear, that bouncing ball twisted my mind!

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

That sound interesting! Please keep me posted!

Janis's BIG song was 'At Seventeen'. She has started touring again in the last few years and occasionally makes it to Seattle. A lot of her stuff is sung by other performers.

So many are gone that might have still been with us if they had just asked for help. Karen, Judy, Marilyn, ... I'm thankful that I live in an age where recordings are available.

Will do

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

That's true. Of course, some would simply be gone probably by now. Do you like Nat KIng Cole's daughter?

When I was a child, we went to many plays and actually, I played in a lot of local stuff. It was great fun and good experience..a great confidence builder!

Yes, enough to have bought her 'duet' album (Unforgettable, With Love) where she mixed her fathers vocals in.

You're in luck. There's an auction for one. Just go to Clothing, Shoes & Accessories> men's clothing> suits> zoot.

Oh, yes, I have that too! Beautiful!!

Barskin, bet that suit smells good by now! LOL!

Unfortunately, my parents were into bowling

My father was the northwest distributor of motion picture films (stored, repaired and shipped them to the theaters), but didn't like to actually take us to the theatre! He would sometimes 'borrow' a film and we'd watch it at home (those 35mm projectors were NOISY!).

My vacations to NYC are primarily for good food; but second is times square. I had 2nd row center seats to Chicago last time I was there. It was amazing! Dreamgirls was fantastic (in the 80's) and I still get a kick when I think of, 'Sister Mary Ignacious Explains It All ...' - I saw it off broadway. Don't think I'd want to take any of my Catholic friends to it though!

I still need to see Lion King. Tickets are hard to get

Wow! 349 Items Listed!

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

I was never in a bowling alley until I was in my teens, I think. Probably a good thing. I bowl very consistantly...down one gutter and then the next!! It is that left handed curve that gets me! LOL!

Naples has a wonderful Arts Center here. Many of the older singers and performers have homes here so they grace our stage quite often!

Next time tell them you want the gutter guards put up

My average is crap ... but I win at the pulltabs in bowling alleys, so I go occasionally

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

Like in gambling??

The actors that retire/live here seem to be a little off-kilter ... Shirley McClain has a 'compound' somewhere and 'The Professor' from Gilligan's Island lives on one of the San Juan Islands

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

Shirley is a little more than a little off kilter! IMO! When I lived in Murfreesboro, Tn., George Jones lived a couple of miles or so from me..he was a LOT off kilter...most of the time! LOL!

Yes We have legalized gambling here. Started when the various tribes put in casino's ... almost everything except slots (my favorite).

I try to save my gambling for Vegas ... I usually win back whatever I've spent so I feel I'm coming out WAY ahead!

Our Mega-Millions Lotto is $177 million! I'm gonna win, I can feel it!!!

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

We have Indian casinos here too. They have crappy slots! We also have ships, but I am not crazy about being a captive audience for X amount of hours...however, I did win $4000.00 in a $100 slot last year, first pull...and took it home!...I like Vegas and Biloxi.

Hope you do!

I only play the .25 cent ones But I found a progressive that was paying out pretty good last time I was in Vegas. I hit the smallest payout, then the next up, then the next and the next ... the only one left was the BIG jackpot, which was a beautiful white convertible ... but I had to go to the airport! Durn!

I always put what I win aside if it's more than $25. That's why I usually eat and 'entertain' on their dime. $4000 would be nice! My aunt used to live there ... she hit several $10,000 bingo pots - and this woman has the first dollar she ever earned so I know she wasn't spending much

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

My husband's sisters live in Vegas. When he was well, we went out several times a year.

Time to have one of the kids watch dad while you escape for a week? Surely you deserve a vacation

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

Just doesn't work well right now. I had a touring engagement(related to my work) and had to cancel and come home. He won't stay with anyone else. I only go on short jaunts or ones I can take him on now. You really have to know how to handle him or he could become very aggressive.

Anyway, who would be here to watch the store?

Now, back to gambling...the bigger the slot, the better the odds. The reason is that the casino figures the odds of winning against the profit margin. You are better off to play, for example , the dollar machine for a dollar a pull than the quarter for three a pull, etc. So, I wait and watch and when I think someone has fed a machine long enough, I play, but never under fives. However, not in the Indian casinos!

I usually play 3 of the quarter slots in a row, then pick the one that pays first. I stay with it until I win

The dollar slots scare me even though I put 5 quarters in at a time

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

I promise you that you will win more in them than the quarter slots. IMO, the quarter, dime, and nickel slots are there to entertain the bus loads of seniors!

I wonder if there is a co-relation between A S people and gamblers?

What can I say ... I was hooked by my mother who searched high and low until she could find a nickel slot!

Oh, well, I can handle that end. I was raised in Florida, y'all! Hey, we could use the southern Baptist preacher approach!!

But, once we bilk...I mean bill them. you and I will be WINNERS!!
( that statement is not connected to the last post...yikes!!)

Maybe we should hire Lexie as our 'spokesperson'? You know how we go crazy for the Aussie lingo!

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

Hmmmm, well, Lexie's my budd, but she is pretty money hungry! Let's see how cheap we can hire her.

We could always 'Auction' her for personal appearances at malls or tv ... that'd probably generate enough cash to keep her swimming in pampers

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

No, no, Tyler is the one swimming in pamper!

I meant clean ones

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

You will have to double my current appearance fee to even tempt me

Lexie

Ok, well, we could promise her anything, but....

Excuse me, you do understand that I MUST be president, don't you? I'm too darned old to climb the corporate ladder...if I fell, I'd break my hip!!

Oh darn...she heard us!! Now we have to pay her!

And we could hire Puppy and Jabber for 'Muscle' when our 'clients/winners' back out of paying! I wonder if they could muster a Brooklyn accent?

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

or Chicago would do!...Lexie, can you really put on a thick Aussie thing? You gotta pull the audience in for us!
Lexie, how much do you get for your..ummm...appearances now?

What time is lunch??? Mory, where are you???....could we stay late..say ummm..after 6? MORY could serve us supper too!!!

Bj, anymore insubordination and it is time out! You and I get his lunch!!

...to serve all our needy clients, over time may often be necessary! Maybe Mory could whip up something for supper too!

Jabbergah                                                    

Yes, Jabber, I think it is expected of him. Yes, of course! And, we can charge it out at $50 bucks!!

The Twelve Steps to eBay Redemption

1. We admitted we were powerless over eBay -- that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a PowerSeller greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of the Sniper-Diety as we understood Her.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves and our eBay purchases.

5. Admitted to the Sniper-Diety, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our bids.

6. Were entirely ready to have the Sniper-Diety remove all these defects of packaging.

7. Humbly asked Her to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all persons we had sniped, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with the Sniper-Diety as we understood Her, praying only for knowledge of Her will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
