Very sad if something has happend. PS: Beyondthebreach rocks, great packaging on Sinister Secrets

Might be a joke (and I also hope bbarsh is fine, just not on-line) but having had some serious illnesses (Heart Problems) in my family recently caused me to tell the wife that in case I was to suddenly drop off, not to trash any of the items in two certain file cabinet drawers and two specific shelves on the book case.... but to sell them dearly and at great cost. I also introduced her to the Acaeum (For rough pricing estimates, and perhaps help from some of you folks ) and E-Bay.She has a family member who cruises the Internet even more than I do and the wife said she will help her sell my crap when I kick the bucket… I told her there was enough value in those certain places to at least pay for the funeral and internment and perhaps some left over for the big party afterwards. She just smiled and said "Good, lets start selling!" So when I do leave this world, she might be posting on the Classified section..... but she is no rube, and she makes a money trift seem like a wild spender. So you guys be nice to her when the time comes, as she will be a grieving widow.... I think.
