I collect vintage milk glass dishes, old Pyrex, Fire King, Hazel Atlas, and such.....people who know me think its one of the funniest things since I never cook. I just love the nostalgia of it and how stress free the old dish collector's world is. Ladies post pictures of their displays on various websites and I'm just in heaven looking at it. So, I started buying things a while back and now we have dishes all over the place in our home.

Anyway.....we have a pocket watch we cannot find and just about daily I have a moment where I think of a place to search for it. So, everyone here has caught my enthusiasm to find this thing and they too are looking in odd places at random times for this silly watch. Shelby thought she would check the bowls on my fireplace mantle for this watch and knocked a grease pot off and it broke.

So, she told Larry to look on line for a replacement. Larry didn't use my computer. I don't think anyone said the name "Fire King red dot grease pot".....I've heard the microphones on devices are used to gather intel on people and they see ads for things they've spoken about. I don't even think Larry knew what he was looking for.....so he may or may not have searched for the dish, who knows.

SOMEHOW.....I'm getting pop up ads for the very dish that Shelby broke on my Ipad. Its crazy.
