Jewelry Chatroom Board

Shelly I hope they got your DH cancer and glad they caught it in stage one. Prayers for him.

````waving at Jo.
Leon quit the stuttering lol.
Jo you sound as bad as me with the working. What are you doing? I did all 12 hours last week except for 2 days. Monday I had 8 hrs and Wed. I had 9. I had to work 11 hours on Saturday and got Sunday off and slept about all day. On vacation this week.

hi all. checking in. Working hard this week and vacation next week. Going to have colonoscopy on vacation and a root canal. lol
Etsy has been doing ok for me. It helps if I list once in awhile though.

yesterday our power was out for quite a few hours and I was getting cold. It's all back now and I was glad. Someone was moving irrigation and knocked out the wire and snapped a pole.

Hey Pat.. Congrats on your anniversary. You have the old man trained well. LOL

Hi all. Happy Valentines Day. Love you guys!

Happy Birthday to Pat and to Becca, where ever you are.

we had some cold weather here last week and it has warmed up now. Tonight we have very heavy fog and I hate driving in that stuff in the morning. I had such a sick headache last night that I went to bed at 8:00 and so then I woke up at 1:30 🙁

Hi Marson, long time no see and thanks for the tip. I did sign up for the antiques board but saw that nobody has been in there awhile. I have a little military medal I bought and BamaJ was good at that 🙂

Do you have to belong to each chat room?
I tried going in the antiques one but couldn't make it

I don't know how I missed that.

Hi all again! Thanks Leon!

Yes the rates suck. I raised them in Etsy already. Bummer. Hey I used to like the antiques board chatrooms with bama j etc. Do they have a different room now like this and does anyone know the url?

Happy New Year everyone

No Jo we didn't really gain anything. 🙁

Jo~~~~~~~~~ hope the knee gets better. I'm working hard. On my 8th straight day with 10 more days to go without a day off.

Dear Leon and Mrs. P, I am so sorry for your loss.

its a great looking piece Pat but I have no idea

its a cookie factory. Girl scout, nabisco and great value. Family dollar, etc. Millions of cookies a year.

Well all I can say is we are working 7 days a week and no days off. It gets old. Then they were going to have 12 hour lines too. They got the lines back to where it wasn't 12 hour lines but they're so short of people that they either force you to stay over or come in early so you're doing 12 hours anyway.

no we would have got strike pay which is $103 a week. Not too good.

No they blocked off one side of the plant with semis. It was mainly a scare tactic that worked. They voted the new offer in.

Well this morning it's back to the union hall this morning to see if we go on strike. Company put a new offer to us and then they pulled a bunch of semis around the back parking lot on one side of the building. So I'm betting their offer is no good.

Well today is the day where Interbake workers at the plant where I work vote to strike. Wish us luck!

Too bad that company changed so much. We had a pension plan until this year even though it was froze for 10 years. When I first started working there I was getting $9 an hour and that was 19 years ago. Insurance was free. All good things come to an end tho. A friend of mine walked in and quit yesterday. The people upstairs are trying to get rid of all the older employees. They are succeeding too.

I will Jo. I am going to a union meeting tomorrow after work. I have to go in at 3 am. tonight as I signed it but was forced over an hour today.

The company came out with a better offer but it isn't any better than what we have now. Thats the latest update. We have a new meeting Sunday. We work Sat and Sunday this week and next week too with no days off during the week either.

haha Jo. They would fire me lol

It SUCKS Jo. Tues and Wed. this week the company and union will meet with the federal negotiators. We'll see what happens. After they meet then the union was going to have a meeting but the company put all the lines working next Saturday and Sunday. So we will be working without a day off for a couple weeks. 🙁 I heard a noise in my car before I got on the interstate so I turned around and went home Friday. I called in. That will be a point against my record. When you get 5 points, they fire you. (In a 6 month period) I have 2 now. If you call in on a Saturday or Sunday it is 1 1/2 points.

Been warm and humid here too. I have to get up at 12:30 TO GO IN AT 3 am. tonight. I signed the overtime because I thought I'd get forced on a bad job and I need the money. Our contract is up and we voted not to accept it the Sunday before last. We also voted to strike. We'll see what happens.

The corn up here did have some kernels so it's not a total loss. There are some where the ears didn't develop very good because the rain didn't come soon enough but at least there is corn. Some have already started harvesting. Everything is going to go sky high.

I think they're selling their jewelry online now. You never see it anymore. GW is really expensive up here.

I forgot about the meteors and was up at 12:30 and went to work at 3 a.m. I didn't see anything but wasn't really looking either.

Good job Leon. I'd like to find a buy like that. Jo, good luck on the sale. Sounds like you have some good helpers. That's wonderful!!.

The good news is that we got some rain last night. I see they're going to start raising food again because of the drought. As if they haven't stopped raising it.

Jo I work for Interbake Foods. It is a cookie plant. They make GS cookies there and Devils Food.

well I didn't see my name on overtime sheet and I didn't go in at 3 am this morning so I will get a no call no show letter and 1 and 1/2 points for the 4 hours I missed. I was so tired Saturday I missed my name. Bummed. Still no rain here and my plants and corn and beans look bad.

I never p[lanted a garden this year. Figured with working 6 days a week I wouldn't get to work in it anyway. I was right. lol Thank God I have some friends who p[lanted a garden and gave me some tomatoes.

Well Jo I have Etsy and no sales either and I'm still too busy or lazy to work at it much. I finally got some ambition to paint the dining room. I have the primer coat on and now waiting for it to dry to put the new paint on. If I get it done tonight maybe Archie will move the china cupboard over there instead of the living room, where it is now.

Dang it sure is hot! Everyone stay safe.

Hi all. I don't think any place is good online any more. I'm on Etsy and it's dead. Maybe sales will pick up for the holidays. I've been working hard and never even got a garden put in this year. Guess I will have to buy tomatoes. Ugh. I got rid of most of my stuff when the flood came this past year. It all went to Goodwill and the trash. 🙁

I think she's talking about Shanti.

There's some oatmeal bath stuff that helps with those shingles too.

Hi all joolies. I was going to come in here tonight and ask Leon a question. Then when I got in here, I forgot what I was going to ask him. This getting old thing sure is bad.

Leon, I had those shingles twice and I feel for you. They're awful!

The camera was a good price but that kind of battery has a certain charger. Ebay would be the best place to get it. When I first bought my Mavica it cost me a lot and I mean a lot of money.

Pat I think I've seen that sterling feather before. Maybe in a book? Beeutiful and I love it. I found a pin something like it on RL but yours is prettier. Here's the title so u can look it up. Vinntage Sterling Curling Feather Plumes Chatelaine Pin Set

reddy kilowatt I should say. Reddy has a light bulb nose. This looks more like a clown to me.

Pat I don't think that's ready kilowatt

I think I'm going to get an external floppy drive too and start listing again. I still have my old Mavica.

Shelly, That was an awesome buy. As far as I'm concerned, the Mavica is the best camera ever for taking jewelry pics. Speaking of cameras, Archie bought me a Nikon for Valentines Day. He never gets me a Valentines present except for the first year we were together he bought me flowers. I was really surprised.

8 degrees here, Leon and I don't know the wind chill. I don't want to go out and check either.

Merry Christmas everyone

Hi all. I see this chatboard through Google reader. Still keep up with you guys. I see Pawdee was asking where all the joolies are. I'm still working hard. Been doing a lot of running after the kid and Granny too. Everybody is fine. I had a day off last Sunday but didn't go anywhere or do anything as I was too tired. I'm gaining weight too as not cooking anything good for you. 🙁

Leforme I think Magnoliaglitz/Evelyn may have been the one asking about dress clip bracelet. I think Becca had one once too.

Shelly I've never seen the cat's eye thing you are talking about but they sound really cool. I'll bet they will sell. I have sold some brooches that look like cat's eye glasses. You wore them to hang you glasses on when you weren't wearing them. Those always sell.

Archies computer is in the shop. Sounds like everyone has some computer problems. He has never had his computer worked on and it's around 10 years old.

Well I finally made it back but working 7 days a week which is why I haven't popped in. Still alive;;;;;;

Glad to see everyone here.

Leon I'm too tired to go spend all that money. Took a couple of days off for Granny too so this time won't be a lot of hours but Granny more important. 🙂

Been working 7 days a week but had this wekend off. Had to put Granny in hospital on Friday and she won't get out til beginning of week. She has cellulitis. We thought at first it may be a blood clot as her leg was really red. Anyway she has a black sore with a lot of red around it and she is diabetic. They are pumping antibiotics in her. TTYL.

Plus forcing me to go in at 3 a.m. boo hoo

I had a lot of trouble trying to find where to type but then finally saw the activation email 🙁 So I made it everyone. I am working 7 days a week though. 🙁
