Treasure in a Jammed Drawer

One of the drawers in our house was jammed shut for almost a month.  Finally, yesterday, our neighbor Aran got it open with a wire hanger.  And guess what was jamming the drawer?   A plastic bag with refrigerator magnets in it, mostly plastic magnets.  I think they are vintage magnets!

So I will be adding to my collection:

a vanilla ice cream cone (THAT one feels like rubber)

a green daisy with a yellow middle

a watermelon slice

a pear

a strawberry 

a bunch of purple grapes.

I am thrilled to add SIX, yes SIX vintage magnets to my collection without spending a cent!

And thank God they didn't get broken in the drawer!

One of my First Fan Fics

I began writing fan fiction in 2001, soon after Mom and I got our first computer.  Here is the link to one of my earliest stories.

It is with great pleasure that I share this brochure, and I ask everyone reading this to do the same.
We MUST expose Planned Parenthood [what a hypocritically named organization!] whenever and wherever we can.
