The Neon Nurse's Charting

(This is me avoiding work I ought to be doing, as usual. I need to wrap up 9 packages to mail out, 2 of which are going to Japan, which means extra care and fussing. Also my printer is buried again after yesterday's sort-a-thon. Hence my procrastination.)

One of the cool things about selling rare things online is that you sometimes make new friends you wouldn't otherwise have met EVER. Fozzie is a Muppets fan from Belgium who bought a rare tape from me, then a few more of my things, then things I tracked down and bought for him. Along the way we chatted about our favorite Muppets, the sadness of losing Jim Henson and John Denver so young, families, holidays....

So this week Fozzie wrote, asking if I had ever seen a specific Rowlf doll with a sort of pouch inside. (I think these were intended to be what we called pajama pillows when I was a kid.) I had not yet gotten around to doing a search for that specifically. I DO run a set of searches every other day, for things I know can be bought at bargain rates on eBay and sold for more elsewhere, and while I was doing that, BING! Up pops THREE of the type of doll he wants!

This sort of thing happens to me ALL the TIME. I know it's partly because I'm always out there Looking, partly because I have a fairly good card-file type memory. But the element that is pure luck and just happening to be in the right place at the right time with the right info...I can't figure what causes that. Just that I have it.

It was the first thing I officially wrote about in my highly erratically pubbed newsletter, The Neon Nurse's Neighborhood News. Click

And if you are earnestly in search of something, let me know. Maybe I can help. :)
