Sorry I haven't been to active around here recently. I've been really busy as of late. My grandmother passed away a week or two ago, and that brought about some more bad news that I thought might be of interest to some of you here.
As I believe I stated earlier, I was expecting to inherit one Charlie the Clown once my grandmother had passed. My grandmother's house is a mess, and finding Charlie in it was like a treasure hunt... of course, without any treasure to be found...
I asked my grandfather if he knew where Charlie was, and I was given some more unfortunate news; he told me that he and my grandmother had to get rid of him because he had begun to fall apart. That, along with the fact that they knew he scared me, and that he scared my younger cousin led to him being tossed out...
I still remember asking my grandmother a number of times before she died; after I had told her that I wanted Charlie of course; if she could tell me where he was. Knowing where he was hidden and avoiding it was much more comforting then not knowing where he was an stumbling on to him by surprise. But she wouldn't tell me where... and deep inside, I had a gut feeling that this might have happened...
I feel terrible that it happened, but I can't do anything about it. I have no clue when it happened, but I just learned about it last week. Charlie the Clown will live on though, as a childhood memory and nightmare that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Thanks for the memories Charlie....

So sorry for both fo your losses, both for your grandmother and Charlie. Keep an eye out on eBay for another Charlie. You never know, one might come up.

UGH - that thing IS creepy! Don't think I'd want it hanging around leering at me with those bug eyes...
