She said, “We’re downsizing.”
I said, “IT’S A DEMITASSE CUP, FOR CRYSAKE!” I was determined, and I let her know it. She’ll learn I’m not one to be pushed around – not at my age. After all, the only reason I didn’t sell it two years ago when I bought it is because it has a thin, tight, short line near the handle, but I enjoy drinking good coffee from a good little cup, and that line doesn’t bother me at all.
I kicked the kitchen cabinet – one hinge broke and the door fell sideways. Sammy the Cat thought this must surely be Armageddon, but I can’t help it. When I put my foot down - game over.
So anyway, we compromised. I’m selling my cup, and she’s going to take her sister to lunch. I don’t want to talk about it . . . that is the best image I can get of the hairline.
Let’s do the other one. It is the oldest, and it is pristine. It also has a nice, deep saucer.

2 ANTIUE QUACK MEDICINE MACHINES- $92
I actually hate adding warnings like that because the people who’d do those things are the same people who tend to breed with abandon, passing the nitwit gene on and into the genetic makeup of all mankind. Thankfully, most of them marry within their own family. Rarely does the feral dunce “marry up.”
I’m not certain of the age – just after the turn of the century, I’d guess – but they’ve been around long enough for the common housecat to react instinctively when you plug in that brush. Mine did, at least. Sammy took off like a shot and stayed under the bed until I shelved the case.
