IslandGirl Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Hi Everyone! it's been a while since I've made a post and I'm sorry for that.. I've been in a bit of a whirlwhind at home. My daughter moved back home and I just learned that my job has a 90% chance of being relocated to a small fishing village over 2 hours from where I live. this has cause some serios thought and some unwelcome worry. for one, I don't want to move that far away or drive that far to work every day but I'll have no choice if that is what happens which is looking pretty much like a sealed deal.. Dam government. so if that happens, hubby and I will either have to live apart during the week or he will have to give up his job and probably not find anything there. It's just been a really frustrating and emotionally draining time. Long story short, I am selling whatever I can to try to have some sort of financial security, as little as that may be, to prepare for what may happen. And with that I've decided to sell almost all I own, including my Gerry collection of movies. I've listed them all on Ebay starting at only 99 cents and thought since I've collected almost all of them, I'd let you ladies know, especially the newer Gerry fans that may be looking to get some of his rarer earlier works. All I can promise GALS is I'll donate a percentage back to the site as it's been a great source of happiness, encouragement and friendship for me over the past few years. Now it may not be much if everything sells for 99 cents but I do promise to do what I can. I'm not sure Dr. Em if I'm allowed to post the link and if I'm not please just delete and accept my apologies but I thought it may be of use to some here too. and on another note, I miss y'all.. hope to get myself back on track and back on the forum more then I have been. Take care all! Charlotte Edited September 13, 2010 by IslandGirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixgirl Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Wow, Char. I'm so sorry to read that. I just looked on your eBay link, and I wish I could help you out but I'm in a similar financial situation. I hope everything works out for you guys!

IslandGirl Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Thanks Lisa.. s**t happens right? I'm a little worried and kind of sick over it but I've been down similiar roads so I'll just have to make the best of it and we'll figure it out somehow. We all have these bumps in the road, don't we? The worse part of the whole idea is being apart from hubby .. this I will not like. and to pay 2 rents doesn't make sense either.. ahh sorry.. I'm just thinking out loud.. haha you know how I do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandGirl Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I'm not sure if it's you GALS or other Gerry fans from all over, but I've got dozens of 'watchers' on the movies and magazines. This is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBPhanatic Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Charlotte, sorry to hear about you having to sell your Gerry stuff! I'll check out the link and see if there's anything I'm missing! Delene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandGirl Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Ah well, I don't like to sell them either but I look at it this way. I can always build up my collection again when things get back to normal again. Trying to stay positive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandGirl Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Well sorry ladies but they are not for sale any longer.. Hubby presented me with an envelope of cash this evening and said, "this is hopefully more then you would sell your movies for on Ebay.. don't sell them! they are your favourite things" Pretty sweet man I've got! I feel really lucky tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBPhanatic Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Well, he's a keeper, isn't he? Too bad for me, I guess. Say, are the cute little cat plaques still up for grabs? Delene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we can always build up the collection again but at least he knew they play an important part in your life. Tis hard to believe it was 2 years ago we were having so much fun in Toronto.

Moira I was thinking of our TIFF time this week while watching all the action on TV for this years film festival.. I'd love to go again sometime, so if you're ever game to do it, let me know.. Maybe Gerry will have another film there next year!! I have great memories meeting you and Sandra and all the other fans. Was a blast.! And yes the longer I'm with hubby, the more I think he was a good catch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
