The guy doesn't seem like the most motivated person in the world, since our offer to pay him for the glass didn't work, so he probably hasn't gotten up out of his La-Z-Boy long enough to toss them either. I get the idea that he may not be a great renter, and I bet that when he moves out, the glass will be right where my friend Linda left it.<br /><br />Welcome to my blog, by the way. I really enjoy yours.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-73764796465222262372011-01-29T22:01:50.467-06:002011-01-29T22:01:50.467-06:00The good news might be that he's probably too ...The good news might be that he's probably too lazy to have gone through the shed to get rid of anything. Hopefully he'll sober up enough to make the effort to find them for you! <br /><br />-Trish [Modern Thrifter]Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525096463452725211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-15815375704696524572011-01-28T17:17:37.320-06:002011-01-28T17:17:37.320-06:00@Rhan Vintage: Poor thing...it must be awful to ha...@Rhan Vintage: Poor thing...it must be awful to have someone interrupt your nap to offer you money. :)Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-71530988289437380512011-01-28T17:15:20.889-06:002011-01-28T17:15:20.889-06:00Oh what a grouch!

Maybe I can sweet talk him better than my SIL. :) Or maybe I'll catch a wife at home, and she will be nicer. If all else fails, I'll contact the owner, who is still alive but has moved into assisted living with his wife because she has dementia. If I offer him the money, I bet he'll see to it that I get to look in the shed.

What a disappointment!<br /><br />I can only relate it to a much smaller incident, when I found a 50's rocket shaped chrome Dormey hand mixer, with ONE beater at a thrift. I spent the next hour searching for that missing beater, because I was sure it was somewhere... Nope.<br /><br />Same with my 50's beehive chrome shaped blender. Another thrift store. Another hour digging through bins of cheap plastic cups and junk, looking for the lid. Nope. =(<br /><br />Offer to go get the glass tops yourself. Tell the gentleman he may escort you to make sure that's all you got. It can't hurt, can it??1950s Atomic Ranch Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460669868967006928noreply@blogger.com
