Okay, it all started last night when I could not find my candle snuffer. Must have got lost in one of my many moves. Seeing as those things are sooo expensive, what better place to shop for a bargain than ebay, right? Wrong. I cannot walk into the grocery store for shampoo without walking out with 37 other things, let alone enter a domain that has anything and everything your heart desires without spending hour upon hour and Paypal dollar after dollar and so on and so forth.


So, I found the snuffer I wanted and placed my bid (ends in less than an hour - I'm still high bidder so far). Then, I went looking around at other things. Garden Goddess statues, celestial mirrors, dragons (paintings, statues, etc), snow globes, nesting dolls, painted cloths, dark gothic art, jewlery, and many many other things.


I bid on several items, fortunately being immediately outbid by other proxy bidders on most of them. But I am now high bidder on a print that ends in two days and an oil painting that ends in 5 days. Yes - I would love to have both, but gawd

Butch Fairy here:
I don't understand what the problem with femmes and shopping is. When I go shopping with the Mrs. I have to sit and wait, until she done shopping in the Fairy Mall. It drives me nuts when she goes from store to store, geez! I'm the type of Butch Fairy that knows maybe two or three stores that I want to get some things, like cigars, I get my wings trimmed, and I get my work boots polished. And sometimes, I go shopping by myself. That way I know that I get out of the Mall before night fall.

"shrugs shoulders, and scratches head".

 


Hugs,


Sebastian

Did anyone try to snipe you in your bidding?

To Butch Fairy,


I am with you...in the "I don't understand" part. I am femme...but I really HATE to go shopping!


Maybe cause I can never find the "right" color and size. *hehe* Or should I also add, because I don't like paying high prices.


Lea
