THE 'Y CHROMOSOME FACTOR'

i Know...it's Father's Day.  Happy Father's Day to all the mens to whom it applies.  Being that it is so male-centric today I thought I would offer up a THEORY about the male species.  Yes---they are a species unto themselves.  How many of you disagree?  see?

Okay.  It's simple...Women have XX chromosomes.  Mens have XY chromosomes...THEREIN LIES THE MADNESS....

I have determined from a 17 year study on one particular Male and several ancillary unsuspecting victims participants in said study that the Y chromosome is responsible for an action or nonaction and a REACTION.  To wit:

First Example:
Male walks into room wearing old, ratty "I'm With Stupid " t-shirt, gross jeans and flipflops in preparation to celebrate FEMALE's birthday dinner which SHE is making.
FEMALE then poses the following :  WHY are you wearing that to my birthday dinner?  WHY am I making my own dinner?

Second Example:
Male says to Female:  "You left that hat outside after YOU mowed the 3 acres.  It has dirt all over it. I put it on the wrought iron chair."
Female to Male:  WHY didn't you just bring it in?  WHY was it necessary to speak of this?  WHY don't you pick up your $^&$#( newspapers each day?

Third Example:
Male says to Female:  "I'm hungry.  Is there anything to eat?"
Female to Male:  WHY don't you open up the fridge and look for something. 
Male:  "I did.  I didn't see anything.
FEMALE:  WHY DON"T YOU OPEN THE SNACK COMPARTMENT AND LOOK IN THERE.
Male:  'oh...I didn't think to do that..."

FOURTH EXAMPLE:
Male and Female driving on trip
MALE:  'Gee, we're almost out of gas.'   *Says this as they drive by exit with 15 gasoline stations*
FEMALE:  WHY didn't you get off of that last exit for gas?"
MALE": 'oh, I didn't see the signs."

FIFTH EXAMPLE:
Same Male and Femal driving on trip.  Get off at remote EXIT for GAS...Male drives and takes a left.  goes 6 miles and finds gas station.  Sees signage for State Road which he SAW exit sign for 5 miles back on hwy.
INSTEAD OF going back the way they came...MALE takes STATE ROAD BECAUSE.....
"Well, I'm sure it will run right into the Highway.  (MALE AND FEMALE have NEVER been to this spot-EVER)
FEMALE to Male after driving 30 minutes:   WHY DO YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING? WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK DIRECTIONS BACK AT THE 'BAIT, TACKLE, GUN,BEER & BAIL BONDSMAN JOINT?
WHY?

I would love to have other SCIENTIFIC feedback and commentary on a world-wide pandemic I feel we are facing!  It is critical to our survival!

Booth Shots from last weekend

Love those old beaded purses...some are french and they are all WONDERFUL!

Below is my newest addition 'LUCY'.  She is sporting a vintage silk and ostrich feather pocketbook!  How about those plaster twig lamps!  The floor lamp is stunning in my bedroom!  Someone had the good sense to buy the great table lamp.

Love the old lanterns...they went quickety-quick!

It was a great show although we all had to work for each and every sale....geesh.

On a programming note.......my website SHOULD be up and running in conjunction with the July Scott's Show (July 9th)

keep your fingers crossed!

Boy, It's Hot outside

Since Memorial Day weekend I have been to Chicago, the Beach, set up at the Scott show. This week I am the DOMESTICATED lulu. ugh.

The heat index hovers near 100 with the sun shining.  So, I am mopping my floors, vacuumning the carpets and rugs and cleaning tile.  What a life!

While I'm waiting for the floors to dry allow me to present.... My latest Fashion Frock ...I bought it in Chicago...it was a  hit on Saturday.  This dress is indeed an original from the '60s.  I was channeling Jackie O.  Or Phyllis Diller...I also bought a swim cap from that era...but that is for another post...it's a hoot.

Th-th-th-th-th-th-th-that's all folks!  It's time to churn the butter. ox lulu

Chicago, Chicago...It's a Heck of a Town!

Well here are just a few shots of our booth at Chicago Antique Market.  The weather was HOT! 90 degrees!  Holy Cow..this is Chicago..cold..not so much last weekend.

Jeanne and I had a great time together.  The trip was well worth it! Sometimes it's not about what you sell that but what transpires during a roadtrip that resonants long after the money is counted.  This trip was just that way....so glad I went.

but still the goods were good...

Can you STAND that gorgeous French blue enamel fish poacher!  It didn't last long!  The fountain of the little boy is bronze...signed by the French artist..oooh la la

The big honkin' blue heart is a bracelet titled 'Titanic'...it sold quickly!  Just love that heart.

Stay tuned for my FAB finds I HAD TO BUY...you won't be disappointed!
