My
Wild~n~Weird Online Life
WELCOME
To Drummond
Wisconsin
I
live in Northwestern Wisconsin in a tiny unincorporated town called
Drummond. It is a town that is only 30 miles south of Lake Superior.
Our town has a pre-school through grade 12 one building school that
is mostly new and extremely good!! We have a sign that says "Business
District" which tickles me everytime I see it since it means we
have a post office, water tower (we live practically under it),
cemetery, bank, townhall, convenience/gas station, and 2
bar/restaurants!! Everything anyone needs! We love it here and eBay
allows me to get the "big city prices" without traveling
30-60 miles one way to get the same item for more $$ PLUS having to
go out into the below zero cold and 4 feet of snow. In the summer we
are subjected to 100% humidity and highs of middle 90's (a couple of
times over a 100 degrees!). This winter we have "enjoyed"
no school (for at last count 4 days) due to snow & cold. We LOVE
the four seasons and the people. I feel as if it is like the town in
Northern Exposure (since we do have our own way of doing things &
everyone knows what everybody is doing or did!) we have a once a week
paper and half of it is the different towns gossip columns. :-)
Who
I am: Basically
I am the main bidder, Carrie Nelson. 44 yrs old, Female LDS (Mormon),
Married 25+ yrs, 4 great girls ages 24, 19, 15, 8. MY eBay ID means I
was an Emergency Medical Tech. and my initials. I used it only
because no one else had it on anything from eBay to Yahoo. My picture
is of me at our county's Bayfield Apple Fest. I wound up on the local
news for my apple deelyboppers! So my family consists of ~ Our oldest
daughter is a county-wide
911 dispatcher
(youngest
they have hired when she was age 19) and they LOVE her work. She gave
us a son-in-law in April of 2005 and gave us our first grandchild (a
girl) in February of 2006!! * Our 19 year old is a gifted ballet,
jazz, (started dancing classes at age 4!) and Irish step-dancer,
singer, musician
and
actress! She is currently pursuing her passion as a professional
Ballroom Dancer at Schererville
Indiana Fred Astaire.
This
is her dream job! She lives with my Aunt Judy in Hammond Indiana (my
birthplace and home to my Grandpa, Aunt, and cousins). She also is
being tutored by Alex (from the top 20 of 2006 So You Think Can
Dance). Our 15 year old is in band, this summer will get her DRIVER'S
LISCENSE! Oh boy stay off the sidewalks people! She usually has this
growth on her ear (phone!) She loves World
of Warcraft
which
we have to pry her off of. I should let on that I have a longstanding
membership on Runescape (member name:ldsmom) as well as my shvester
(sister), nephew, & oldest daughter. Our 8 year old is adorable &
then switches to the other child that can get into things she
shouldn't in a matter of a nanosecond. I describe her in one word:
ACTIVE! We love her whatever mood she chooses. She loves 2nd Grade
and learning cursive writing.
What
I love: Family
~ My faith in my Heavenly Father and the Church
~ Learning new things in all different areas.
What
I spend MOST time doing
I
LOVE Knitting & crocheting anything and everything (see next
paragraph)! I have been working, building, fixing, upgrading, and
tutoring in computers for over 20 years - online for 13 years and an
eBay registered buyer & seller for over 7 years! T.V.- I am a
proud self-proclaimed REALITY TV Junkie! (Survivor, SYTYCD, America's
Next Top Model, Top Chef, Project Runway) as well as Court TV,
Discovery Health, TLC, A&E, & MOVIES!
What
I sell & Why
Yarn
& Crafts ~ I am a TRUE YARNOPHILE. Just like a book enthusiast is a Bibliophile. Not to be confused with a
YARNOHOLIC. A yarnophile derives total bliss & one with nature
when looking at, feeling, shopping for, & creating with yarn. An
even GREATER spiritual happiness is attained when giving your
creation to another. A yarnoholic is a person who loves yarn like the
yarnophile but does not feel the spiritual connection and therefore 100% bliss is not attained. There
IS a TREATMENT and most respond extremely well to constantly searching,
shopping, & buying at the most BOTTOM price all kinds of yarn and supplies to manipulate the yarn! My
personal motto is “Yarn is NEVER TOO soft”. In fact my
selling on eBay goes toward more yarn ~ needles ~ patterns ~ notions.
Yep and my absolute deep love of yarn has also caused me to
CONSTANTLY download a million patterns AND buy books of even MORE
patterns! Don't you just LOVE this background? If anyone wants this
background I can email it to you in whatever color you want just
email me at questions@crazy-anything.com
I
have won ribbons at the county fair and will be submitting to the
WISCONSIN STATE FAIR this year.
“Always
remember life is too short to knit with ugly yarn.” (me)
Homeopathic-Herbal-Holistic
Therapies ~
I do stay pretty much at home since both my husband and I are
disabled. I have had many surgeries from replacement knees to TMJ
surgery and
will probably have replacement TMJ joints. I have Fibromyalgia,
Chronic Depression, TMJ
disease, with other health problems. I am CONSTANTLY researching,
reading about, and looking for ways to treat and live with these
conditions. I am explaining this so that others can realize that you
can live with health problems but still be able to have fun, run a
business, and be with family & friends!! This is also why I love
to do constitutional
& ailment research for others because sometimes the whole
holistic approach may daunt you and you don't know where to start. I
FIRMLY believe that there is HUGE benefits to holistic therapies AS
WELL as allopathic
medicine!!I
also am now studying from Kristie
Karima Burns, MH, ND
to
be certified in 13 areas of Alternative/Holistic Medicine! I have
been dabbling in it for over 15 years! I am applying for grants so I
can go to college next year and become an actual Naturopathic Doctor!
If ya know any good scholarships or grants email me.

OUT MY ACTIVE AUCTIONS
MY
100% Positive FEEDBACK that I work HARD at!
The
Great
Girl Scout Cookie Conspiracy of 2004!!That's right I am the
"Carrie Nelson" that the article quotes. I still have all
the emails good (99%) and bad (1%)and will share them anytime. My
youngest daughter is in her 2nd
year
in Brownies and yes we did sell cookies on eBay but we had purchased
them and did not do any ordering through eBay. I am very proud of the
new Girl Scout website and the new feature to find a Girl Scout to
buy from.
