I have had my lack of matchmaking success hit me squarely in the face with these two, and shall force myself to desist from such future activity ( until I just can't help myself ) G Christine – OLPC is always full of surprises – a real pistol – and such pleasure to count as a friend; but Rob is acting fearful of me lately, so maybe he didn’t really enjoy that evening so much in spite of seeming to.

You never know. Maybe the two of them will see each other and decide to act on their inner impulses. Our Lady sounds like a real firecracker. Don’t give up, Yenta! You never know.

I was right there with you, experiencing the pull of treasures. I loved how you started the story, talking about not collecting things as others do, and then taking us on your journey of discovery into the world of 'things'. Its so great that you found items that spoke to you the essence of each friend. I find there is no problem in getting something, as long as it speaks to you. If it is something that you are passionate about, or feel would expand you in some way, it is important to bring it into your life, for what ever purpose it holds for you. But the step that many people don't seem to understand is that there is a time that most things no longer speak to you, they have served their purpose and it is time for them to move on to a new person. When we let go of something we open ourselves up for new energy and experiences. You found this new energy by exploring through items that had served these ladies well, and were ready for you to scoop them up to be gifted with love to yourself and loved ones!

Your friends must have had, between them, quite a collection. I'm glad you got into it, and not just admiring but actually buying. To me, it's not so much about accumulation of that old stuff. I find that there is so much beauty to it, to the making of it, the quality, the materials. Cliche but true, they don't just make 'em like they used to. It is one of my favorite things to do, combing flea markets and estates sales, looking for hidden treasures. Sounds like a great sale. Your friends must have had, between them, quite a collection.

Maybe soon. i will have more to report about the breast lofting chains. You see, OLPC has decided i need better bras, new glasses,...in other words she has decided to make me her little makeover project. Next week is going to be bra fitting and shopping excursions. I'll get me some chains, but appropriate chains for little old ladies, Yes!!! G G – I am so glad to be able to provide you some laughs.

I am trying to picture the chains and can only come up with the most comically bizarre images. The idea of this dominatrix cross-examining at Guantanamo and this meek man opening up to her as if she were a relationship counselor at a large dinner table is surreal. I'm so glad you finally revealed the outcome of what sounds like a very successful social event if not a match made in in heaven. This is so hilarious.

I am still smarting from this failure. But hey, those two are still talking to me, so that's a huge plus. G Dowhatyoulove – you might have handled the whole happening with more grace.

I do think this is a call for me to take down my sign and burn it. G Trish – it is fun to have quirky individuals in one’s life, but, have to admit my matchmaking skills are not up to snuff.
