Indeed, fun and Lime Green is close, It's actually Chartreuse.. At 24" it came from the original owner, her first and only bicycle, made in 1954. Flat old tires and brake didn't work. All it needed was to air the tires, lube the brake, and runs perfectly. Practically can't kill an old Schwinn. Unfortunately, by the mid 1980's and finally 1990s's they're made in China and rust bucket trash. The factory type is 'Starlet' as far as anybody knows there are only two 24" Schwinn Chartreuse Starlets that have survived, one is a premium, and the other is standard. This is the standard type and the only one known to exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a 20lb tabby who got tired of the dogs and moved to a neighbors house. Everyone was happy. we once had 4 cats, “gifted” to us from teenage daughters shortly after they moved out, after 6 months. one, named Ozzie, was a hunter. You never walked thru the house in the dark for fear of stepping on rat parts. He left a rats head in the dog food bowl one morning. He got torn up on a regular basis, $400 per vet visit. Had to nurse him back locked in my office, with the cone of shame. He finally didn’t come home, figured he outlived his nine lives. We were in the yard maybe 6 months later when he jumped over the fence to say hello. He was wearing a new purple collar. Sat with us for a few minutes then went back over the fence. All 4 found new homes on their own. Sweet story about Ozzie. "His" was 12 pounds when we got her at age 3 and then she suddenly ballooned to 19. Now back down to 17 with a better diet and more activity. And she is STRONG. Definitely want her on my side in a fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will work half the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Today I decided I do not collect vaseline glass dishes. I had only three before today. Then this morning I had a chance to buy a large number of matching dishes, which forced me to admit I don't have the room for a dish collection. So I still have only three. I'll stick with the small items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 I collected coins for 45 years or so. Just hung it up and these keepers are locked in a safe. My last active venture was chasing ancients. Most are silver Greek and Roman coins and a Shipwreck 8 Reale coin. I know what they are but the info is on a spreadsheet. Just eye candy for you I hope. Here's a collage of what I have in that dept. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemys Posted yesterday at 05:34 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:34 PM Hi, Kevin here. I've always been a pack rat. As a kid I'd collect old bottles along the hedge rows near my house in Pennsylvania. So, I've been addicted to shiny things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
