Hi

[MarMar]

HI Everyone!Waving

My name is Mary (MarMar is one of several nicknames my husband has bestowed upon me). My husband is rak1. We live in Reno, NV and have been married for 6+ years. We have two cats (Charlie and Mixie), and are the proud owners of a '67 El Camino (which are in the process of restoring from the ground up). I learned to drive on a '66 Impala, so I guess you could say I have a 'chevy background' :D My hobbies include reading supernatural-themed books (yes, I love Twilight), making jewelry, and spending time with my sweetheart of a husband (Love you Babes:)).

Hi Mary,welcome. Waving There I feel better.

Were you paid to write that last sentence?:p

[Ms Grumpy]

Welcome Marmar,

Yeah....another lady......

Don't let grandsport get to you, he is our official greeter and he likes to harass everyone. lol

[MarMar]

Hi Mary,welcome. Waving There I feel better.

Nah. He always says nice things about me, so I thought I would return the favor. He really is a sweetheart. He spoils me rotten, and I try to do the same to him. We have been married for over 6 years, but still act like newlyweds.;)

Glad I'm not the only gal in town...Waving

I can take the harrassment. If it gets too bad I'll just sic my husband on him...;)

Hi Mary, welcome to Chevelle Forums. My first car was a 66 Impala convertible. I strayed a few times but almost every car as been a GM and mostly Chevy's.

Welcome Mary, the misses and I are hoping to visit Reno in the near future.

Just kidding on my comments Mary. I find the creature comforts to my liking at the Nugget but one thing about Reno is no better "car town" can be found in my book. Love it! Nothing beats cruising Virginia Ave.

[MarMar]

I will take some pics and create an album.:)

[MarMar]

There! I finally got my signature to show up. My husband told me I had to have a signature, with my name on the first line. I told him I thought my name was obvious, but he insisted...

[rak1]

I had faith in you MarMar....

[grandsport]

Hey MarMar,is that a Princess Diana Beenie Baby?

[MarMar]

Hey MarMar,is that a Princess Diana Beenie Baby?

It's actually a picture I copied from " The Purple Store" website. The Princess Diana Beanie was a darker purple. I did have one at one time, but I sold it, along with all my other Beanies, at a garage sale. They were a lousy investment, but I do miss them sometimes...:(

Yeah,tell me about the investment.:( I got 5 of them for my daughter when they were hot,and her and the wife got greedy. Then the bottom fell out.All told I think there about a 100 in the basement. Ah yes,high finances.:p

I calculate that I spent over $4000 on them, while I was collecting. I sold them for about $450. Pretty sad... My mom still has all hers (we were collecting at the same time), and I believe she is going to give them all to me when they "downsize" to a smaller house. Don't know what I'll do with them, but I'll probably hang on to them. Maybe in 20 years they'll be worth 50 cents on the dollar:D

[Ms Grumpy]

Sounds like any Collectible hobby. Pay a lot for them, and "Hope" they increase in value. Hey sounds like the car hobby too, which is sad.

Gary, I got a idea for you, put them all in the back seat of your Chevelle when you go cruising or car shows...all the guys will be really impressed, and the women will all want you. Please take pics when you do this so can all enjoy it and comment on them. :D

Gary, I know what you mean, sometimes I take my Bull Dog with me and she is loved by everyone. But you should really think about crusing with all the beanie babys...it would be so cool.:rolleyes:

Just wondering, whats the exchange rate of Avon bottles for Beanie Babies?

My wife has made few for herself, never got into it very big though.

Just wondering, whats the exchange rate of Avon bottles for Beanie Babies?

From everything I have read here it looks at Gary is the expert on Beanie Babies and Barbie's, not sure what his knowledge base is on Avon bottles.
