Liz, on facebook a friend posted photos of her drive to work this morning--not snowdrops or spotlights, but foggy trees in the snow, very pretty. It really can make you feel better when you pause to look at the beauty around you.

Well, I think my first answer on the futon was a scammer. I think his first contact, asking what was my bottom price, was a ploy to pretend he might "negotiate." When I didn't respond favorably, I figured he'd drop out, but this morning he wrote saying he was out of town so would send a money order and would I please remove my add so no one else jumps in. Sorry, but my ad says PayPal or cash only, and I'm not a sucker for that stupid trick. Wanna bet the money order would be for a larger amount than the purchase, and I could just refund the difference? I didn't send him my mailing information, but said if he has someone local who can handle the cash transaction for him, I'll be happy to sell the piece. Geez. No point in outing his name or email, because, as the comic says, he has a million of 'em.
