"...for a bird of the air will carry your voice, or some winged creature tell the matter..." --Ecclesiastes 10:20

Who is this mysterious winged creature? Light hearted as the air, she laughes at world, the wise, and herself - but watch out if you tread on the humble or the meek. You may find This Winged Creature has told the matter...

Families Fisher Price Never Intended [Job Outside The Box]


I've been listing stuff on e-bay all day long today, but I'm pretty sure it's time to stop.

One of the things I've been trying to do is figure out the best way to sell the Fisher Price items I got at a yard sale over the weekend, specifically, an incomplete Camper set which came with extra Little People. You remember Little People. If you're older than me they were made out of wood and, somewhat alarmingly, had no arms and fit into the round holes made for them in vehicles, etc. If you're my age or younger it was the same principle - just plastic.

It seems that, since the set is incomplete....

I'd do better to sell it as parts for others who are trying to complete a set (i.e. have everything but the boat, or whatever) But, though I have quite a few Little People, I don't have enough of each gender to make two nuclear families....unless one of them is the "My-Mom-Was-a-Child-Bride" family, or the "Polygamy-Sensativity-Training-Family (with Child Bride)" I thought of selling the whole thing as "Little-Miss-Sunshine-Camper-Set" and then selling the leftovers as individuals.

When I actually considered listing the "Adam-and-Steve-and-Their-Dog" set that I realized it was time to call it quits. Not that I don't think Adam and Steve (and their dog) are worthy of being a family: it's just that I get enough hate mail from other socio-political positions I hold....I don't feel like getting it from people on e-bay!

Also, I accidentally ran over the creamer that I'd spent all day trying to figure out if it was silver or silver plate with the rudders of the rocking chair and now it's bent all to heck.

I guess it was silver.
