How sweet it is!!!! Some of you know that I was going to be gone for close to 2 weeks. I am home now, its so nice to be sleeping in my own bed. My critters are so happy to see me. My 3 year old grandson is really happy to see me. He spent the night wih me. He keeps hugging and kissing me. He climbs up on my lap, hugs me and tells me he loves me. Its so sweet and makes me feel so special. I went with my mom to Virginia to visit my sister and her family. We went to Virginia Beach for the day, it took us 4 hours to get there from her house. My sis lives way out in the country. I do have some terrific news. Most of my friends know that I am a seller on ebay. I have recently gotten serious with my selling. Ebay has invited me to be a Power Seller, based on my past performance. I think that is so cool. I am so behind in all my work. My kitchen sink is plugged up, I need to get that clear. I also need to get busy listing things on ebay. I need some money. Wish me luck with my ebay and my sink. I have missed you all, I will try to spend some time visiting with all of you. Just know that you have been in my thoughts.

Welcome home girlfriend!!! I went in to check ebay and it says no items but I'll keep checking. I see the Power seller icon is there. Good for you, that's great. I hope you do well at this. Sounds like you had a good trip and I take it all went well with your mom. Take Care.

Its so good to be home and in my own bed. I am tickled about being a power seller. I always thought you had to have big numbers for feedback, but thats not it. I have been busy posting new listings. I need to make the money, I have bills that keep coming in the mail, them damm things. We did have a good trip, it was peaceful and uneventful. It was nice just visiting with my sis and the kids, she fed us like queens, I miss all that food. My mom had a few episodes of dizziness but all in all she did good. I drove all the way there in one day and then all the way back in one day, long days, many miles, about 650. I was pooped when I got done. The scenary was so pretty thru the mountains with the leaves changing. Take care, see you around.

Welcome back home and it sounds like you and your mom had a good time. I am guessing your mom stayed well, I remember you were worried about going on this trip because of her health. That is so sweet about your grandson, awwww 
. I do wish you all the luck with your selling and making money.

Welcome home. It is great to see you back on here. It was so nice to hear that everyone is happy to have you back home. Glad that you had a good time with your family. It is always nice to spend time with our loved ones. That is great that you are doing well on Ebay. It has to be tough selling things these day with the economy the way it is currently. Hopefully you will continue to sell more items on there.

Good luck with your sink as well as selling on Ebay. Do you sell on other websites I has well or just Ebay? You could probably sell stuff on craigslist or on Facebook. The economy sure is a wreck but hope you manage to find lots of buyers for your products. I have been on Facebook more than here but will try to come here more.

Oh, Polly, it is good to have you back. I hate the fact that plumbing knows when we leave. My sewer is having issues. I only went away for the weekend, but this has been ongoing for a year. I am deciding to get serious about my writing. Money is nice, especially with Christmas coming up.

Thanks so much for the welcome home. It is nice to be back home. I am hoping my drain issue won't be too bad, I have tried the plunger but thats not working. I plan on taking the drain apart underneath, just haven't got down on the floor yet. I have to get busy with my ebay, right now thats my only income, I really want to make that a success, its lots of fun. It can also be quite aggravating too, it is work, hehe. Take care see you around.

Thanks so much for the welcome back, it is nice to be back. Normally my pooch won't eat or go out for a few days. Since my granddaughter was here she spoiled my pooch. Polly (yes thats how I got my name, from my dog) was just fine when I was gone. My granddaughter catered to here, Polly probably misses all the attention. It was funny when I walked in the door, she was lounging on the couch, she knows she is not supposed to be up there. I told her to get down, she just looked at me like, haha, hehe, who the heck was I to tell her what to do. She did eventually get down after telling her a few times. She is back to being under my desk at my feet. We mostly just visited with each other. My sis and I would stay up late and just talk, that was really nice. Its been ages since we have done that.

It sounds like you had a ball, you're broke!!! I can always tell when someone had a nice vacation. They are in a hurry to get back to work so they can pay off the credit card bills, hehe. I am glad you had a nice time at your sister's. I will have to go and visit mine in Atlanta in the not so near future, haha.
Your grandson sounds like a very special little boy. It is nice to know when we are missed and appreciated. Best wishes on Ebay and with the sink. I will see you around,

Thanks so much for the welcome back, it is nice to be back. Thanks for the good wishes for my ebay business. I am determined to make it a success, right now thats my only income. I have been holding off getting a regular job because my mom needs me so much. I am the only one she has here in town, both my sisters live far away. I haven't got to the sink yet, I have been so busy today on the computer.

I know what you mean about the sink. My tub is always stopped up now, because my roommate will not clean her hair out of the drain. I am so tired of going behind her, that I could scream. I am learning to control my temper though. Now all I have to learn is how to get through to people without going completely off on them.
I know how difficult it can be to take care of an ailing parent. I use to do in-home care. When the family members became overwhelmed with trying to live their own lives and take care of a loved one, I would come in and help out. It really helped them a great deal.

Home is always the best place. I was away to UK for 6 months...coming back every 2 months or so. And everytime I am back here, I'm reluctant to go back to UK because my family and friends are here...my home is HERE, not THERE. In the end, I am back to Malaysia, my home, my country. Although the money is very very good there, I will have to think twice before choosing to go again.
