OK. Do you mix them up after so you can do it again?
Only if I accidentally drop them.
I am not compelled to sort buttons. I am putting them together to sell them.
I have a plan. I sold them before and when I did most of them sold for less than other people's buttons even when I thought mine were better. Some eBay sellers have a "helper". I think that having a helper is cheating, so I don't have one. People have offered and one person asked me to do it for her. I think it is wrong. I try not to do things that I think are wrong.
The plan is that I will not worry about the competition and most of the buttons I will start very low and if they sell for low I won't get mad. I will be happy that I don't have them anymore to take up space and time. What I will win this time on eBay is space and time.

I think you might be talking to me. @Wu Wei Am I right?
Going out costs money. I like to save my money in case I want to go out.
I have not given up the hope yet that a Jehovah's Witness might have a reasonable discussion with me.
Eventually, money saved to go out must be spent on going out.
Otherwise the universe collapses into an unholy singularity.
It's a fact!
You should know that I have a big warehouse size box of Rice Krispies Treats that I forgot to put out at Christmas. Which reminds me to tell you that I left out some lemon bread I had made for Christmas and yesterday, or the day before, I brought it in and we ate it.
Yes, I know that. I wonder if anyone else has experienced the phenomenon that the having of money with you seems to strengthen the force coming out of the stores to draw you in? How do they KNOW?

The good news is, one the JWs who has been visiting me for several years did promise me that he would read the Bagavad Gita after I complained that all these years I have always allowed him to discuss the Bible with me.
The not so good news is that he hasn't come to visit since that conversation.
Other Christian friends say he will not come back, but I think they are a bit prejudiced against JWs.......what do you think?
How long ago was the conversation? If it was a year ago, I think he won't be coming back. If it was a short time, he might come back. The Bagavad Gita seems a long book for someone who is not interested in becoming a Hindu or such to read.
Also, I understand that there are some JWs who would be offended that another JW is looking into another religion. The JWs are taught to yield to the consciences of all their members.

It is close to a year.
Also he insists his visiting is because of friendship, not to convert me. I wanted to discuss the Bagavad Gita purely because he knows by now that the Bible is important to me, only in the fact that so many people believe in it as "the Truth". I wanted to see if he could enjoy other scriptures, in the same manner as I have done.
i don't see why a JW could not enjoy it, as well as getting a good understanding of others' beliefs.
The Bagavad Gita is a concise book which is simply a conversation between Krishna(God) and a person.
(Actually, as I am great fan of Kabir, I was going top ask him to read the Guru Granth Sahib(Sikh scripture) where Kabir is quoted. But that book has over 1400 pages...now that is long
)
Pretty colored.
These are not mine, but here you go.
These are not mine, but here you go.
Needless to say, sorting buttons is not boring.
Where do you get your buttons....farm them?Pretty colored.
These are not mine, but here you go.
Farm them, hmmm. Farn them farm them farm them. No, I don't do that. I think farm them means grow them. Haha
I bought them. The buttons in the picture are not mine. I have some like some of those.
