crying in front of strangers

you answer an ad on craigslist. there is a crappy pic of some pyrex that kinda looks pink. you make a call. you go for a drive. you find yourself in a dimly lit apartment with a couple of guys smoking on the sofa (so bad for the lovelies and my lungs!! but, the seller shows you the goods! holy smoke....


but, then, there is a box, with another baby in it! its too good to be true!



ok, maybe i didn't cry, but i almost did! i can hear you all screaming how much? how much?....$20 for the entire lot! somebody light me my own cigarette, please....

    What were they smoking to let that loot go for such a good price, lol?

    OMG!!! I would have cried, handed them the $20 so quick it would have made their heads spin, then I would have cried some more, and probably wanted a cigarette!!! Those are just gorgeous, and you were sooooooooo lucky!! I'm about to cry just looking at them!! I found one Pink Gooseberry Saturday which I'll post later, but all this pink Pyrex is overwhelming. Be still my heart!! LOL
