Regarding my last minute after auction purchase of this.

Me: the auction for that magazine asked for the winner to send in a reason why they wanted that magazine as these people are obviously interested in the stories people want to tell about why it is important to them...

My email to the seller: Also, I thought I would share why I am purchasing this magazine since the auction said you were interested. I am planning to collect as many of these types of items as I can (afford) pertaining to Jethro Tull for a scrapbook for my mother for her Christmas present this coming year. She is a fairly young mother to me (at age 49) and is a big fan of Jethro Tull, and a big part, the less traumatic times, of my childhood were spent listening to them with her, listening to her quietly strum her guitar and sing along with the stereo. She loves several Rock and Roll bands from the 60's and 70's but we share a special bond because of Jethro Tull. She encouraged me, at age nine, when I decided to play an instrument to play flute so that someday I might play just like Ian Anderson. All I have ever wanted to do since I started playing is be able to play her the songs she loves. I have been practicing his flute solo songbook for months to play for her also, now twenty years after beginning the flute. My father was jealous and abusive toward her when I was a little girl so any memorabilia or clippings she might have had probably were destroyed by him at one point or another and all she really has left is a concert T-shirt from around 1979. I am 29 years old now and over the last couple of years we have seen Jethro Tull once together and Ian Anderson's "Rubbing Elbows" tour once together, which were very emotional experiences for her to be able to share this with me, and I saw the Rubbing Elbows once on my own as at the last minute she could not make it down to Florida this year to go with me. It is something she has passed down to me, a love of the music of her youth. We were always too poor when I was a child for her to have anything. I want to give her a collection of things to help her remember the good parts of her life.

Me: no comment?

Him: It was nice. But don't you feel a little weird sharing that with a stranger?

Me: no

Me: if i were to write about it on my site i would be sharing it with hundreds of strangers

Him: True that, Batman.

Me: do you feel weird writing about my panties hanging in the shower to hundreds of strangers?

Him: Yeah, yeah... point proven.
