[oblongmelon]

I collect LOADS of stuff...Santa's, antique christmas ornaments(literally -at last attempted count was over 3000),insulators, wooden shoes,old newsprint headlines(which I think I neglected to mention last time)..my favorites include a headline and newsprint from the sinking of the Titanic, and the shooting death of Mahatma Gandhi..both original-in good excellant condition...but I have many many more...let's see..I collect minature perfume bottles,antique jewelry, unset stones,old hair pins, lace bobbins,any antique that I see in general that I like, SANTA'S SANTA'S SANTA'S..(too many to count-most at least 50-75 years old)...family photos,globes,1972 Tiny Tears dolls (with or without molded hair),Hall Pottery,Bone China Cups and saucers, Griswold cast Iron, Old fly rods, old lures, cast iron old salts figurines, depression glass, watermelon glass (hence my nick),renoir prints,old oil paintings..etc..yeh, I got alot of crap..but I love each and every piece.
I don't have a gaming system, and never allowed one in my home..there was always too much other stuff to be doing than becoming comatose in front of a hefty game of PONG...although two years ago I did win an Xbox online-and when it was delivered, I gave it to my brother in law who is a huge gamer.(geek)
The DVD that I don't have but would love to have is JOY LUCK CLUB..omg..awesome movie..
I"m not a huge fan of fast food (because it's cheaper to just eat at home) but I guess for something on the run it would have to be Wendy's..for their chili.
..DO I DECORATE??? lololololololol...yes..I start decorating in early October for Christmas..LOLOLOL...the last thing I have to do is to put up the trees-I'm getting my kids to go with me on Sunday to cut them. By Thanksgiving the entire house will be turned into my wonderful world of Victorian Christmas. :)

[whitak24]

hey obby, what are insulators?

[oblongmelon]

hey obby, what are insulators?insulators are those things you see on old telephone poles that the wires run through-made of glass and various colors..they were usually only found on old poles that ran along train tracks...they come in milk glass(extremely rare)cobalt,amber,ruby,clear,turquoise,various shades of green and blues and violet glass..not hard to find-but hard to find with no chips or cracks..different companies made them..I have alot by the Bell Company...ruby and violet are the hardest colors to find next to the milk glass..the HG company seemed to have alot of input on insulator production..those are the most common around though..here is a link http://www.insulators.com/photos/ for you to look at to see some different types..

FYI..keep this page as a handy reference..unless you love insulators, and look around for them..they can be quickly missed at flea markets,junk shops etc..their worth really does add up after a while.
