Hate to break up the orthopedic discussion lol but need your help!!!!
https://www.houzz.com/discussions/in-your-easter-bonnet-with-all-the-frills-upon-it-dsvw-vd~931836

BTW- Nice shoes Cyndy lol

Thanks, Margo, and who knows...I may start a new trend! And BTW, I see you are Margo now - and I was just getting used to design on a lime...and no "pro" status either. You must be distraught - LOL.

One day Houzz will remove me completely lol... they will put me in a undisclosed location??

With your new Easter bonnet on (whichever one you choose), Houzz won't be able to hide you from us! We'll find you, Margo (spoken in my most spooky, X-Files-like voice). LOL.

Yes, Cyndy, I will *pop* up like the bad guy you think is dead in the movies... Muhahaha....
Chook----- we are waiting for the prune danish

Chook? Wherefore art thou, Chook? We're hungry...

And Margo, please, don't "pop", but if you must, go with Easter egg pink, please.

OH NO!! Cyndy burnt up in the 3D printer and all that is left is one shoe! Poor Cyndy! She'll never stay awake again!

I hope I don't lose my license over this.

Ha ha, Chook! And I think that I could still take over the world, even if I do have only one shoe left to my name - after all, don't forget it's a way ugly orthopedic shoe - LOL. If I hit someone over the head with it (not that I would ever do such a thing!), I'd probably kill them, or at the very least, they'd be severely brain damaged.

Chook, just want to say thanks for your vote of confidence on D's thread. I didn't even know what a "troll" was until my 13 year old nephew clued me in just a few minutes ago :(

Strange that I care so much what virtual strangers think, but I miss the camaraderie with my girlfriends at work, so Houzz has come to mean a lot to me. Virtual girlfriends are better than no girlfriends, after all!

Cyndy- just *be you*, hang tough, and soon you will be posting pics of Houzzer's decorating you LOL. I have had my ups and downs on Houzz. Chook has too, and look here we are sharing on each other's threads. We don't always agree and can get under each other's nerves at time lol but it is all good, if you don't let everything get personal.;)

Cyndy, listen to Margo and chook. They may be the life of the party here, but they'll give you support, friendship and will always have your back.

Chook, Margo, and Hanna, thanks for the encouragement! But Margo, I can't ever see me putting myself out there like you do - LOL!

Chook, I think everyone knows enough about my medical problems by now, so will keep mum about the subject from now on. Thanks for clueing me in.

I've been playing on eBay.

Cyndy, keep jumping in and joining the fun. Pretty soon you'll feel totally at home! :)

chook, I have to stay off of ebay. I get in so much trouble with hubby over the $$$$ I spend! LOL! I stay away from etsy for the same reason........

Hanna and Chook, Sometimes (ok, ALL the time) I'm so happy NOT to have a husband! I actually used to sneak purchases into the house from my car trunk where they might have languished for several days. Then (IF he even noticed the new blouse or lamp), I'd look at him as if he'd totally lost it, and flat out lie to him! I'd say I'd had the skirt or lamp for a long time and end my tirade with eyebrows raised in scorn and a parting shot "You never notice anything around here!"

My lies never failed me! Rather than risk more of the same, my ex would retreat to a different room - and that kept him quiet on the subject for at least another month or so. I used to wonder back then how I would explain the items I was "storing" in my car trunk, if he ever looked in it for some reason, but it never happened :)

I'll admit to the "I've had this forever!" line too, lol. We had a friend who was so stingy and controlling that once his wife found a quarter on a store parking lot. She bought a soda out of a vending machine and hid on the opposite side of the truck while her husband filled the truck with gas. My hubby stopped at the store while our friend was inside paying for the gas, saw her and asked her why she was hiding. She said she was afraid he would take the quarter away from her. They didn't stay married long. :(

Well I'm decorating in his style so he'll just have to deal.

I've heard of a guy in town like that dude. Has Asian bride presently but isn't the first.

I was under the (mistaken) impression that we women had made real strides forward since I was first married in the '70s - SO glad my kids are adults so I don't need the extra income!

I bid on this bed for daughter.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Antique-four-poster-single-bed-made-in-the-late-1800-comes-with-ex-con-mattress-/191127679959?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:AU:1123

Wow, Chook, she'll feel like a little princess! So what about bedding??

What do you think of the bed itself? She's got bedding but I like the fringe.

The bed is very cool, and the fringe reminds me of some beaded fringe I had in my bedroom when I was 15, in my hippie days. And it does look like it's in great shape for a bed crafted in the 1800s, Chook. Do you live close enough to inspect it before finalizing the sale (I noticed it said for pick-up)?

Not close enough, but got seller to put specific condition in writing, so might have some wiggle room, maybe. Could get outbid anyway.

Well, we were the successful bidders for the bed.

Congrats!!!

Hubby not over the moon as he has to get it home and up.

Yes, congrats to Mini-Chook!! Does she know or is it a surprise? So hubby is your muscle, hmm? He's earning his keep ;)

She's putting down the first 10% from her paper round!

Strongest man in the world. Move your breakables.

Wow, Chook, you're bringing Mini-Chook up well! I truly applaud you for teaching her fiscal responsibility, which so many parents must not believe is very important these days. Post a pic after M-C has set up her new bedroom to her liking (and keep a careful eye on Mr. Chook, as men never seem to know their own strength - LOL).

Mini-Chook is a cutie-pie! And she looks very princess-like on her throne. So when does Father of Beautiful Princess go to pick up her new bed? And please say you're going with him to supervise, Chook!

I think the owner of the trailer might go instead of me, unfortunately. Negotiations have begun on when.

I don't like her shag rug but she chose it (sigh). Who revived those?

Guilty....sorry chook

Ha ha, Curt! I'm off to the shops, I'll get you some kid gloves.

I like shag rugs on my toes...the warmth in winter is an added bonus

Hers isn't soft. I thought you meant you break things! Must go shops, see ya.

Chook, Curt, I love soft, shag rugs too, but evidently M-C needs a new, SOFT shag rug for her new, beautiful bedroom!

Hi chook! Just a quick pop in to see what's going on and I see where your daughter is getting a new bed. It is very nice and she will love it, I'm sure. So glad you got the winning bid! Exciting, huh? Talk later. :)

Lol, Chook, your daughter with her existing"throne". At my age my throne looks more like a toilet then like a seat. Bless ya

Oh boy....sorry....did i really need to go there ???

Chook, what's up with Mini-C' s bed??? Enquiring minds, you know...

Trying to get a cheap carrier. Prob not till after Easter now.

Wonder if I can get this onto the Aussie site?

Aussies have great bars too!

He, he.
