It was my daughter who taught me to stop thinking I can't! When I had cancer she said I "can do anything" because she "believed in me because I couldn't believe in myself". After a bad divorce cancer x2 and her going to live with her father because I was always sick; I do everything with an I can attitude!
Life is 100%. 10% what happens to us and 90% what we do with it!
Now you get to find a NEW you!

My daughter and I sat on the board of a big youth group here on Long Island of about 12 years and I ended up with a group of 14 to 15 year old's and one particular weekend I was finely fed up with hearing most of a group of 18 kids continue to say â€œ I canâ€™tâ€

One 10x20 storage room emptied today! LONG day....my back is killing me and it hurts to type

BUT really glad one is done....only one more to go. This next one is gonna take much longer because I have to unload the whole storage room and actually sort through everything/boxes. (keep-sell-give piles). Then pack "keep" crap back into the storage room so I can also fit the stuff I have at my son's house in there, too. I REALLY hate to think about having a garage sale but I guess I'm gonna have to do it

Time to saw some logs....g'nite all!

And when might I expect to see you BLU, got allot of work myself that needs to be done, trying hard to be less of a packrat, hoarder myself nowadays, but some of it is too valuable to turn loose of.

surely no one knows my delime

The FREE column on Craigslist?

That free column doesn't bring in any money that you can spend on other things.

The way my luck has been going the for sale column doesn't make any money either!

Hey Headache,

Look for a "Cheap-cycle group in your area, it's a spin off on Freecycle.

Or see if there's a Buy, Sell & Trade paper in your area.
All else fails-yeah hold a garage sale.

I know I'm going to have to when I clean the last 12 years worth of stuff out of my house while it's beeing re-wired. Thank Heavens I have Pit Stop to keep all that stuff dry for me!

Good Luck
Lois

The apartment complex won't let me hold a sale so I'm awaiting the local outdoor flea market opening.

I'll figure out a way to advertise my bigger items for sale, you can bet on that. I'll just have to be sneaky about it.

On a better note the dealership I've been trying to get some communication from about a bus I'm interested in knows me well enough now that they gave me the guys cell phone number to call directly because he's never called me back. The wife of the president of the company told me if he(the sales guy and brother) didn't call she'd make her husband call me. If it wasn't for all those gals "cheering" me on I'd have left a message to stick that bus ages ago.

We had some lols over me asking if they'd hog tie him til I get there and I'd tighten everything up and hold him until all my questions were answered and I got a good look at the bus.

I work at our local flea market concession on Sundays, got lots of good stuff to replace what I've thrown out because they quit working (lamps etc)

I see quite a variety of stuff come and go-and the used stuff sells better than the new, and people must be making enough that they keep coming back to sell more.

Even our cook has a table and has someone watch it for him. I got the lamp from him.

In any case, good luck. When times get tough, the tough like us get going!

So far I've made $1175 this month on craigslist selling crap outta my storage room (and they come to pick it up). Then I found a guy who used to raise Ostrich and had a bunch of fencing and posts for sale. He sold me 160 feet of 7 ft fence for .75 cents a foot and 30 T-posts for $2 each. Now my dogs have 40 foot square kennel...BIG worry off my mind. Last summer I bought 18 ft shade tarp so now I just have to build an insulated dog house

I've sold around $300 on Ebay the past few weeks....and have about $5000 worth of stuff listed right now. Usually I just sell stuff I make and my paintings on there. Ya, shipping is getting outrageous but I always have the buyers pay for it. Mostly I really don't enjoy packing the stuff up to ship

I still have a LOT more to get rid of. It's VERY time consuming putting the listings on craigslist and ebay...one item at a time

I'm hoping to have a garage sale the first weekend in May where I can not only sell but give stuff away faster
