We're down to a little more than half our previous income now that we have two children and, roughly, one job. Garage and yard sales are good entertainment, AND you find great bargains. My husband posts the purchase list of what he finds whenever we go to a book fair or garage sale and he expands the library. I tend to snap up the used children's clothes. Last year, 85% of Jimmy's wardrobe was found at yard sales. Each shirt or pair of pants cost about $.50. Two weeks ago we snapped up two bookcases - really nice ones that almost match what we have, for $30. angelweaves last blog post..An Open Letter to Christians Before the Presidential Election

In that case, I can’t begin to guess.

I don’t know, Will. I can’t think of a price you could pay me to take that off your hands.

Kate-
How much do think would be fair for a black velvet painting of Sally Struthers playing volleyball in a string bikini?

Oh and the frame’s nice too

Better go back and buy it before next Tuesday! If the Dems get into office, we'll all have to share with those less fortunate anyway! Micheles last blog post..Dry Cleaning

I love yard sales, I just don't get out enough to benefit from them. You should have bought it you know it but if you already drink enough then well maybe it's not a purchase you should make ... j/k go pour yourself one! ~kats last blog post..Twitter Updates for 2008-10-27

Ah, but if you had your own bar, you could gather reinforcements and have them assist you regularly. wgs last blog post..And the vote is in!

You realize, don’t you, that I’m now going to be so plagued with guilt for having failed to help that family that I’ll have to drink more myself? And, honestly, I’m not sure that’s possible.

Maybe they were new to AA and giving up drinking and you had a moral obligation to take that temptation station away from them! lifepundits last blog post..Back from the Writer's Conference
