He was arrested at JFK as soon as he went through immigration for an unpaid parking ticket from about 12 years before, and only released when his clients bailed him out for about $5000. He could have spent that money on a decent candlestick.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-54282778749721364822011-06-22T14:51:51.261-07:002011-06-22T14:51:51.261-07:00I quite like the creepy doll, the price did howeve...I quite like the creepy doll, the price did however shock me. So did the candlestick but I know nothing about them, and if you can make 1500 pounds that would be great.<br /><br />I got a parking ticket for backing into a spot in Florida last week. Apparently the front of your car has to face the meter, which made no sense to me as Florida cars only have a plate on the back, so it should be easier. I can also only pay by cash or cheque and we are in the middle of a mail strike, so now it will double.Razmatazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757164543598076420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-48863109251977920322011-06-22T14:35:43.045-07:002011-06-22T14:35:43.045-07:00I agree with Starting Over that dolls are creepy a...I agree with Starting Over that dolls are creepy and candlesticks are not. Your recent very old one is especially handsome. Does writing a letter to the parking department help at all? We got a huge parking fine in Washington, D.C. and wrote a letter explaining how utterly clueless we were about the area and they reduced the fine by half.Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562775041134498313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-87290920084718126982011-06-22T14:35:06.116-07:002011-06-22T14:35:06.116-07:00whatever floats her boat!

I am glad the rest of you like the candlesticks, Donna included.
