I certainly understand your comment about somedays.
Some weeks I have whole weeks where nothing happens as it should.
So sorry to hear you are frustrated by the blog and us.
I don't comment often, but read daily.
Hilary I admire your dedication to Blenko and WVa. After saying this, I must ask why you stay in a State where the average age is 50 and growing older and more poor by the day.
You are young, single, beautiful and you need to be married. Move. I am willing to give you our garage apartment for free rent and help you find a job and a good husband.
There is nothing of value east of DC.
Forgive me if this is invasive, I'm sure if you had a living Mother she would say the same.
Also when you are here, we could glass hunt, and do lunch weekly.
Guilty.
I did ask for Dr Bob's email address as he wanted birthday pieces and I have 5 that I no longer want.
Gave up on trying to get the other 25.
adore the vintage fabric behind the "tooth?"
Apologize Hilary
I was incorrect. This blog is not being picked up in search engines.
I'll attempt to seek help for you later today.

Why are so many of the collectors doctors?
Emaunuel
Blenko collectors are housewives, househusbands, police officers, security officers, lawyers, docs, engineers lots of engineers, scientist, students, mcdonalds part time worker, lab tecchs,
the guy who delivers my dry cleaning, city government officials, vets, ramp growers,
household help, gardeners,
these are the career paths of the 52 people I am friends with who collect american glass.
The Docs and engineers have computer access during their long work shifts so they comment more than others or else they feel they have more to say.
Blenko is factory glass, you will find it in every city, in many countries and in any flea market or 2nd hand store.
This makes collecting easy and finding unique pieces easy and inexpensive.
With $20 you can start a Blenko collection.
Well! I have news for all of you! Someone is saying that they are me! Thanks for letting me know Hillary, I love you for that.Who in the world would go down to Blenko and run around saying that they are Roxie? I would like to meet this person for they have made fools of some of you. Angry, NO! Just alittle upset that someone is using my NAMES.
Now to some other matters. Stop knocking the state of WV. Some of us have forefathers that come to America on a boat before Columbus. Some of us came over on the boats with Columbus.Do you know we could be our own country. Not need anything from anywhere else. Only we do sale our coal, gas, minerals to all of you. Our apples, peaches, veggies and glass. Most of us are smart enough to know that even if we leave this state of WV we will be back. It always happens.All I can say guess you cannot get away with mental abuse anywhere else so you pick on us. What does money really cause, people to think that they are more than they are. I pray that Our Lord Jesus turns on your lights to know the difference.
Now to another matter. Hillary;s Momma is a very good person. Some of you seem to think that she is telling Hillary what to do. Well as far a an garage apartment. You being a doctor know that gas fumes are one of the number one things that give people cancer. Also might Hillary of done what her Momma wanted she would be in Ashville NC. being a dentist. Very popular place right now.Why would she want to live in an apartment when she has her own home, Plus her parents home, plus any of the rental properties that they own to live in. It behooves me that people think that we are all poor in Kanawha County. Those of us who do not have lots have other gifts that we share with people, from cleaning a house to preaching you a good sermon. I wish all of you would leave Hill's personal life alone. Why get married to only add stress to your life. To have more to take care of. To become a maid.When you can enjoy your young life. Hillary is not woo is me. Hillary is a young smart woman who already has plans for herself.All of you who need her to be where you are are only jealous that you most likely did not use your own mind but someone else's. Marriage is saying I have nothing better to do. Single leaves the door open to do as you see fit. Besides what is the rush. Maybe Hill's is saving so that when she does get married she can stay home to be a MOMMA to the children she will have. You know like I told my daughter get your life the way you would like it then find a husband. Leaving home is not getting married, it is becoming the person you would like to be. Hillary loves her home town of Charleston, WV I am glad and proud that she is one who is giving back to the roots that she was born in. Cannot believe a garage apartment. Worse than the coal dust the train makes hauling the coal out of the creek so you have electric to do your jobs. It makes me wonder how many people value human life, how many think about what they say or write before doing so. Mental abuse comes from anywhere and everywhere. Why in the world do people who hardly know you what to live your life for you. The good book does say Judge NOT for you will be judged also. I do attempt not to judge anyone for we were each made different that is what makes one special guess alot of you are jealous and need the special people to be like yourselfs, or else you need some of the special to rub off on you. In this life we are to make others happy before ourself. Only self has to be happy before attempting to look for someone to share that with. Just why would someone need to be me, like why should someone need Hillary to leave what she loves. Just like Blenko glass. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. The beauty is one thing. The cost is another. Then again finding beauty is worth paying the price, for is that not what your are paying for the pleasure, that the object gives, the memory of the way you feel when seeing what you like for the first time.
DrAnnu, Which pieces do you have for sale?
I need 3 to complete my set.

Go back to monitoring the comments, these deep enders are a bit much.

Roxie I owe you an apology.
I did attend the Blenko day.
I started reading heart of glass in the summer.
Today is the first time I knew another roxie was reading.
This is my first comment. I apologize.
I met many people during the day and the night before I used the name Roxie for each meeting.
I live in San Jose flew up solely to purchase glass.
My apology.
Roxanne
You are todate the only other Roxie I've ever known.
I
I didn't mean my comment to be offensive.
mmmmmm
Dr Ann U.
Your comments did not offend, a garage apartment rent free in a large city has appeal, most especially after an 11 hour day. I'm not shopping for husbands or new jobs. When and if I start (shopping) I'll certain ask my blog friends for recommendation / NOT!
Re: possible insult - - we knew you were stating factual info - our average age is old, our economy isn't the best. The people who live in rural states – including West Virginia feel connected and proud of their origin. Many are sensitive to perceived criticism. After doing this blog for 4+ years – I’m immune to criticism.
Re: Why live in WVa. - - I'm here because I choose to be here, and I feel I can make a difference.
I'm certain you are the type of lady who understands growing where you are planted - seeing value in all of gods wonders.
