Hi Marko,
Do you want to see a giant pimple? or black head??

Mmmm that makes me hungry for this:

 

Lol!

 

I was fascinated by the open heart surgery scene in the movie All That Jazz while the boyfriend of the time had to turn away.

 

Hi,
I removed 5 black heads on a mans back many years ago. The five were larger than that one. It involved a two hour minor surgery. Two of the OR nurses got sick from it.

Can't like any of the latest messages..... ;-)

 

From a thrift shop in the neighbourhood;

 

I can't even watch when they take my blood. No watching any operating for me on tv or anywhere else.


That pimple is so gross. The cookies well, I will never forget they were linked to a pimple.

 

When I had my right hip replaced I watched a video of what they do. Thought it was pretty interesting.
Then when I was in surgery I sort of surfaced - I couldn't feel anything but I could hear what was going on and knew what they were doing.
It was SO COOL!!

 

It is. Those giant blackheads are pretty gross, but they're not technically infections unless it's secondary. They're just blockages. I've never seen one that big before.

 

Ive seen some gruesome things in my time,but the only time I ever upchucked was watching a pimple popping video ! The memory still make me queasy. Anyhoo,a few finds ...
2 bone (ivory?) vases 6 inches tall,2 wide,beautifully carved





art nouveau (?) vase 7x3 no markings



$2 grab bag

Murano vase 5x3


Tumbler,anybody know who ?


Dorothy Thorpe type stuff,havent cleaned it yet

 

The base of the carved item appears to have schreger lines,but not in focus to be positive with the photo.

 

I saw some in the top too; unfortunately I think those are ivory. Unfortunately if you're planning to sell them anyway. I went out today, melted two pins that I couldn't have sold (no marks and ... pins..) and bought yogurt. Or rather the store and manufacturer bought yogurt; I just carted it home.

 

those look like fine ivory to me !!!
luv the Murano color....colors..!!
always liked little eye washers.....and hate monkeys.....but could yours be a netsuke..

 

I love the blue Art Deco vase. I went out yesterday due to cabin fever, but the thrifts were closed!!! All due to a melty inch of snow on the ground in bright sunshine. So I stopped at an antique mall on the way home. Found these.

Kramer of New York, reminds me of Easter eggs, the back construction is cool, has a small touch of verdigris on a small part of lower section, will white vinegar it with a Q tip


Sterling and vermeil brooch, heavy bugger

 

Doesn't this guy have a wife or girlfriend? Any "normal" woman would have jumped on the pimple before it got that BIG

 

I love the 'Easter Egg' brooch!

 

I ditto what cxgirl said. I love the colors-- so springy.
