- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – 11/23/07: Today’s question is being brought to you by our very own mystery poster Do you know how to use a sewing machine? Yes. My curiosity for mechanical marvels goes back to a very young age. I was probably 4 or 5 when my mom let me practice sewing scrap pieces with her sewing machine. Tony Oh, and yes I have my own sewing machine now. It’s a useful antique. I only do repairs, I never really make anything. I have an antique New Home sewing machine that was my grandmothers. Unfortunately New Home went out of business long ago and their are some parts missing. I have a line on a guy that finds these old machines and scavenges parts off of them and sells them, I’ve just never gotten around to (and financially solvent enough) to try to repair it. If it worked, I’d have to try to use it, that is just my nature.
At the moment I can’t recall the brand I have. It came from a chain of large stores called "Hess" or "Hess Brothers" based near where I grew up. Evidently they bought enough to have their name on it instead of the real manufacturer. I bought it cheap ($15?) at a yard sale and gave it a cleaning and lubrication, replaced the frayed electrical wires and it works well. My Mom says it works better than hers! You better get those parts before they are extinct! Tony — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

It’s been years since I tried. My fraternal grandmother was a seamstress, and could sew anything from a napkin to a wedding dress. She tried one summer to help teach me how to sew. It was just too frustrating for me, it seemed like every seam had to be a do over (and over, and over). Might have been genetic. My mom did miserably in home ec during the sewing part of the class, and she tried so hard. The teacher finally took her aside and told her she’d give her a C if my mom would promise her that she would NOT take Home Ec the next year, LOL. No kidding. I wish I could use a sewing machine, but no, I definitely am not very good at that. I can sew on a button though. Lots to be said for that.

A loathsome, lonesome, gawping grin – a loathsome Grin that worried folk. The Voice accused me of a Sin (but what voice ever does not?). It said I had a Loathsome Chin and that I was a Horrid Bloke. I grinned at people, fat or thin. (Someone should have me shot.) My loathsome, lonesome, gawping grin made everybody gasp and choke.

Now THAT is weird!;-) Maybe they mixed us at birth…Well, mixed our body parts when they connected them together, and I ended up with your feet right here….;-) How should we proceed??? >> Note that "smelly" alone does not cut it, if it is a bonus on ugly feet >> for effect;-):) > Well, par for the course, we can’t judge this until the internet gets > smell-o-vision.
Yes we caaaaan!:) You just have to secretely film a few guests you invite telling them it is for a movie where you need actors. Once they all are there, you remove your shoes as you film them fainting. If more than 95.678% faint:), you can get a backstage pass to meet the ugliest feet contestantsa, provided that you do NOT remove your shoes before the parade os over;-) >> If you are married, you must join the OB ugly married feet contest.

What makes you think they did not already?

As hard as I am trying to make my feet and toes prettier, I ain’t there completely yet, and I might win the "Still-Ugliest-If-Less-Ugly Feet Contest this year again. You won’t be able to say that I did not give you a good head start: the winner will be anounced some day around XMas or NYear, have not decided yet. For now, well, I managed to have a nice lil white line on almost all toe nails (let me check again….), if it is somewhat of a crooked line on the big toe nails still;-). Since married poeple can not enter the contest, this being a ng for lonely poeple (heheheeh), that now removes OB from the list of contestants:), and might give a few a better chance at winning second prize:):). The second prize, like in the past years, consists of the chance of kissing my ugly feet on each day of the next year:) May the ugliest-foot Schwartz (or warts, whatever) be with you! Chloe —

I am planning to organise an alternative contest for Ugly Married Feet. The contest will take place somewhere exotic such as Thailand, Nigeria or Ecuador. All contestants will get to show off their ugly feet in an evening gown and in a bathing costume, and the prize will be a diamond-studded corn plaster. More details nearer the time.

michael, i dont think being dead would be worse. i would like to believe we would all be in heaven then. safe and sound. but that is just what i think. it is because of the money shortage in part that things have totally sucked around here of late. that leads to more fights, so on and so on. but come next week everyone should have some money again, thankfully. things should get better then, i hope. and things could be worse i know, we could have nothing to eat and no roof over our head. but i was just complaining in general. i was feeling particulally bad when i posted that. again dieing aint the worst , it is going crazy briefly like i did this morning due to a dream i had. i was worried briefly that aliens had kidnapped me then i finally calmed myself down and realized that it was jsut a dream that my voices had cooked up for me, to scare me. not very nice of them to be sure. but i dont believe in alien abductions and i refuse to go crazy in believing in them. hope you are having a better day than yesterday ! later anita

michael, corn is the only veggie you mentioned that i like, the rest yuck. you should add vitamin C and E into your vitamin cabinet in my opinion. vitamin C helps you from getting sick, always a good thing. and vitamin E helps keep your skin looking younger longer. my dad swears by the stuff, and my mom started using it and her skin looks much better now and my dad is 77 and my mom is 72. her winkels disappeared by half once she started using it. you should use it if you are in anyway concerned about staying young looking longer. which most people are. though i am a women and i think about that more than men probably do. just a suggestion. hope you do feel better soon!

and C is water soluble, so you can eat a lot. i don’t know about E, but it’s OK in moderation. Linus Pauling, a Nobel Prize winner, suggested 10 grams of C per day. there have been controversial experiments where riboflavin and niacin (B complex) were used in treatment of schizophrenia. fish oil seems to be more supported by science. m.

michael, where do you even get fish oil? and how is it supposed to help? later anita
Response:
> michael, > where do you even get fish oil? and how is it supposed to help? > later anita
it has EPA in it, which is some sort of Omega 3 fatty acid (or something). it basically helps the brain build up good levels of juices. the controversy is in exactly how much we need, and whether it helps schizophrenics to any noteable degree. you’ll note several posters here have mentioned that eating a lot of fish seems to help them. fish oil is expensive though. i was eating 10 grams, i think, of oil a day. the bottles are like $10 a pop at GNC. i was probably pissing my money away, but i didn’t want to try conventional meds because they’d eat my brain (and they have). your mileage may vary. m.

The other bit of good news is that I’m now officially within the "Normal Weight Range" BMI, on some charts albeit at the top, so I’m no longer medically overweight! Hurrah!

Since losing 2 inches the first week, this week I’ve actually gained a fraction of an inch, although it’s still much less than it was. My personal goal is to get into my UK size 14 jeans – at the moment the blubber flops over the top of the waistband in a most unattractive way, and doing them up is impossible.

Yes you are at the beginning of week 3. Week1 is actually the day you start so I can understand your confusion.

Great job. Isn’t amazing how the program works when we stick to it?

My personal goal is to get into my UK size 14 jeans – at the moment the blubber flops over the top of the waistband in a most unattractive way, and doing them up is impossible. Maybe I need to lose another stone for that to happen but I’m determined and I’m not buying myself any new clothes until I reach goal!
I had a LOT more to lose than you (70 lbs), so getting new clothes part way through was a must – as well as fun! I bought stretch knit stuff that was a leeeeetle sausage-skin like when I first got it, but some now hangs in elegant folds, some fits neatly, and some has gone on the Little Orphan Annie pile already! Several pairs of trousers I got from a friend last summer have done that one! The stretch jeans I got then are still ok on average! Still a neat fit on legs and hips, but getting loose in the waist! I now have and wear things in sizes ranging from Small to Large, depending on the make and style! My goal is to fit back in my wedding dress. — Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate’s Pages and explore!

Yeaaaa! Double congratulations, Anna! For losing that 2.5 & getting into the Normal range. Wonderful. Elaine
Yes, it is great, but I’m still annoyed at myself for having to do it. One would have thought one round of slimming would be enough for anyone, but no, I had to ignore everything I’d learned and eat like a Sumo for 6 months

Yeaaaa! Double congratulations, Anna! For losing that 2.5 & getting into the Normal range. Wonderful. Elaine – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hi Everyone, I got a bit confused about my WI day because the online program I’m doing lets you WI at any time. So I’ve decided it’s Monday and although this is my second WI, it’s week 3. Anyway, I’ve lost more weight, another 2.5 pounds, a total of 8.5 pounds since 3 weeks ago. I’m very pleased with my progress but as I’m eating quite a lot of food I’m not at all sure if it’s going to continue. The other bit of good news is that I’m now officially within the "Normal Weight Range" BMI, on some charts albeit at the top, so I’m no longer medically overweight! Hurrah! But my goal weight is still some way off – mainly because of my asthma. I’m supposed to be at the lower end of the health BMI range as it means I need less oxygen to move around. At least my doctor can’t nag me any more though – his chart says I’m not fat any more!

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – A front page ad on eBay probably works best for high-ticket items, high-volume items, and for vendors who have eBay stores. I can’t imagine such an ad would be worthwhile for personal services, other than as a publicity stunt. I don’t even know anyone who actually visits the eBay front page. I’d guess that most folks log in and go directly to a favorite page they’ve bookmarked. The grilled cheese sandwich lady, the guy who sold his kids’ Christmas presents, the ghost in a jar seller, the kid who had the Microsoft-like domain name all made the national news. I don’t think any of them did it on purpose. I was a PR flack for 22 years, and recognize the role dumb luck can play in getting national publicity. When I wanted to get my own eBay message out, I had a New York PR agency arrange for telephone interviews on 30-some radio stations around the country. Your unusual service could be approached from the same angle, even though you’d probably have to do the legwork yourself. A good letter and news release and some phone calls could get you booked on some of those Morning Zoo, etc. shows and, with a little dumb luck, attract the attention of the national media. I managed to get on the ABC News *radio* network, but you’ll notice there wasn’t a peep about me on CNN or any of the other biggies. I had the dumb part down pat, but fell short on the luck portion of the equation. It may be my background speaking, but I wouldn’t bother with an ad on the eBay main page. I’d look for alternate ways of getting the word out, including Web search engines.
On the other hand, one never knows until they try. There are a lot of maybes involved and the odds are long, but if one has enough money to pay eBay and the right person comes along … it could become another of those "wedding dress" auctions/listings. It may turn into nothing at all, but it may turn into something far bigger than anyone could ever imagine. Putting the word "pule" in the title will get a lot of people to see it … as will "porn" (perhaps someone wants a story written or needs help writing one).
Response:
I think to get CNN to pick it up I’d have to get it rolling already. Do you think an investment of what it would take to get a front-page ad on ebay would be worth it? If you were me, would you go for it?
If I wanted to burn $100 bills, I’d hope somebody would try to talk me out of it. It’s my opinion that, for you, buying a front page ad on eBay would be like burning a $100 bill. Spend some time boiling it down until you can present your vision of the service you’d like to provide clearly on one side of an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper. Then spend your $100 Xeroxing up 1000 of them, and driving to every high school and college campus within 100 miles and plastering them up in common areas. If this doesn’t work out for you, well, think again.

I’d have to agree. I think its a great idea and if you really want to use Ebay then I think that you should use it as a part instead of just relying on Ebay itself. Since your objective is to generate income from offering your writing services then you should show some examples of your work, offer an introductory kind of thing where you could show your expertise. You have to draw people to your website, get them interested and show them why they need your services. A lot of that is going to depend on your reputation and building it up. On a side note I can understand your enthusiasm for Microsoft Word! I was playing around with it the other day mostly having fun with the graphics part of it and the 3D options. But getting back to your post there are people that do already offer their writing services via the web so you know that this is not an impossible thing to do. But you should treat it seriously and realize that you will have to do more than just use Ebay. I agree that Ebay is a very popular site and it definitely draws a lot of traffic but when you want to use it in relation to your business you have to use it in the best way that will benefit your business the most.

Dear EBAY Police, Myself and my kids have tried 3 times to list an auction and you have removed it 3 times.
For most of us, eBay is more than the backyard sandbox. Take your kids and your idiot attempts at an auction and go somewhere else to amuse yourselves. — Ty Who is mostly just a slightly skewed Donna Reed …remove my pearls if you wish to write me "To announce there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." — Theodore Roosevelt

Dear EBAY Police, Myself and my kids have tried 3 times to list an auction and you have removed it 3 times. This is a humorous ad that generated 20,900 hits,20 something bids in 3 days, we were on tv 3 times and the radio once, and this was nothing but good PR for EBAY. It was done to prove to my kids that you "can sell ANYTHING on EBAY", so why remove it ? Then on the 4th day we were removed for violation "5.1 Listing Description: "…You must be legally able to sell the item(s) you list for sale on the Site." ( per Janeeva, EBAY Community Watch) Although it couldn’t have been further from the truth. Does anyone actually read the ads or just automatically remove them due to a complaint or what ? Because it was obvious the ad Did Not violate 5.1 Next the second ad…in which I was still selling 18 items in a lot like the first ad was removed for the comment "Puppy need bail" which was a joke but I’ll admit possibly improper, although unintentional. Before I posted it I wrote asking guidance to no avail. The 3rd ad… a 5 day ad, ran for 4 days and 21 hours, then it was pulled for violation of "food and drink restrictions"? What in the world are you talking about ? I’m speechless on that one. 100% DUMBFOUNDED. All of these ads can be found posted under my profile "profireman" All have "puppy pepper" in the title. Now I have posted this ad AGAIN…. I’ve tried contacting you people but no one has offered any help what so ever. The new ad is Item number: 5550728096 Would some one PLEASE look at it and write me if we have ANY doubts about the ad. I would more than be willing to change anything if someone would just work with us here. The last thing I want is to get into trouble but I want to run this ad. It amazes me that I can sell ghosts,spirts,voodoo dolls, penis enlargement pills and contraptions, moldy food, raffles, have tattoos put on any part of the human anatomy, jewelry made of animal feces, (all are on EBAY at this moment, I’ve checked) yet you are giving me and 3 little kids this much grief over this ad. Thanks I told my kids you could sell anything on ebay and made a cute little ad to prove it.. We put our puppy in a kennel and took pics, then took pics of everything she’s ever chewed and the ad said "Puppy Pepper Needs Bail" and the winner was to get everythign she had ever chewed..basically junk. after 20,000 hits and 28 bids in 2 days, ebay killed it for violation of 5.1, and their written excuse was that I wasn’t "actually selling anything." Which couldn’t have been further from the truth. Where they came up with that I’ll NEVER KNOW. So then a new ad… I GUARANTEE everything the dog has chewed is REAL, so they let it run 2 days and after 3000 more hits and 12 more bids they deleted it because I was "holding a dog hostage".. ok..it did imply that..but you could tell if you read the actual ad it wasn’t really true. Ok… so I change the title, replace the pic of the dog with a pic of everything she has ever chewed on the floor arranged so it spells "ebay sux". They let it run 4 days 21 hours,5500 hits, 9 bids, THEN 3 hours before end, then delete it for "auctioning prohibited food and drink" There was absolutely no food and drink… not 1 crummy grilled cheese with the virgin mary, no potions to make your penis bigger, nothing. I wrote to them them at the link for disputing ad removals after each and every one of the auctions and explained thoroughly that it was impossible anyone had actually read the ad before they removed it. (no replies) So I’m on my 4th try….. It AMAZES me that they are on my ass for this ad. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1469&item=5550… take a look..no I’m not wanting hits, bids, nuttin..it’s principal now.. I’ve tried writing them before the last 2 ads to make sure that these ads are OK with them, lord help me if I can’t manage to jump through their maze of hoops. the following is the letter I’ve written to about every email address ebay has…32 hours, no replies…. these people kill me. ANY IDEAS ?

muttered something like: ANY IDEAS ?
Yes–ebay is much more likely to read a letter sent to them, or at the very least posted to their own forums. I’ve never seen anything to indicate that anyone from ebay reads usenet. -Bertha — Wilner’s Observation: All conversations with a potato should be conducted in private.

Bla bla bla. Hey pal. Instead of trying to be a cheap imitation of the wedding dress guy or the Virgin Mary with cheese, how about selling something on eBay besides moronic jokes. It’s pretty obvious eBay has you marked and they aren’t going to allow your nonsense.

Try hang gliding, decoupage, or blacksmithing. eBay is clearly unsuitable for you. — Many thanks, Don Lancaster Synergetics 3860 West First Street Box 809 Thatcher, AZ 85552 Please visit my GURU’s LAIR web site at http://www.tinaja.com

The actual joke is you sitting there in dfw,texas thinking you are superior to everyone who has ever posted anything in newsgroups. I’ve read your posts, each and every one the same.."me smart you dumb, next question" Even the ones where you talk about wanting to come up with something to get your 15 minutes of fame. I’ve had mine, more than once, ebay has nothing to do with it..comes with the job. But it’s obvious the internet is YOUR only chance. good luck. A pathetic, lonely, little life you live there……congrats. The challenge should be for you to take a good hard look in the mirror. Scary thought isn’t it. Let me guess…. more cussing ? – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – well maybe a little older since you’re trolling in alt.politics.homosexuality do ya post there often, flatch ? Yawn. When you can come back with a residue of a challenge, let us know. As it stands, your auctions are a joke, and you’re a joke. speaking of moronic jokes, nice name. how old are you ? 12 ?
