    The cats were probably trying to figure out what she was, and how to get inside that shell. If a bobcat can figure out how to get into a porcupine, chances are some ferals would have parsed a turtle sooner or later.

    This week my wallet has leapt out and regurgitated $ onto the check-out counter or G-sale table at every turn.
    Here are some items. Some headed to eBidet...maybe today.
    1) Someone here...I think...was talking about such shoes and so I bought these Michael Antonio's for eBidet as a test as they have not been worn. No Komo....I've not. ;)
    2) Pac-Man envelopes 1980 made in Bellmawr, NJ (not far from Greg...who I've not seen much of...?) with original price sticker. 11 of 14 envelopes in great shape.
    3) Me-262 book some clownfart wrote the price on in marker. :p
    4) TWA From the Hip movie playing cards.
    5) Baseball themed book-ends for my friend's baseball themed Pizza shop of which they have many Baseball books I've gifted them. :)

    I was out tag saling today and went down one street that turned out to be a dry well. It did however have Turtle Crossing signs in more than one place. All I could think of was Vicky/Dick needing one of those to get to the 7-11.(LOL) And yes they were real signs.

    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    I'll have what she's having.

    I'm pretty sure that was a funny thing to say, although I'm not sure why.

    It refers to the simulated (ahem) scene in When Harry Met Sally. I wasn't on anything but sleep deprivation. And coffee of course.

    This plate keeps calling me at the thrift. Apparently it isn't doing so with others as it's been there awhile. I like it much but would probably put it on eBidet. What do you think and what might it be worth?
    Thank you! :)
