Virtual Yard Sales

So far I have purchased two items off of our area’s couple of virtual yard sale sties that I have found on Facebook. A play kitchen for my two year old niece that she really wanted for Christmas, but didn’t get and a futon mattress to replace the old mattress that got ruined several months back. I got good deals on both items, both items in good shape and the people were friendly enough during the whole process.

This is so much better than driving around all over town looking for yard sales.

 

Wet Basement

Got home tonight to find a foot of water in my basement, had to find a basement waterproofing company that made late calls. The company that I found was a life saver they were priced better than the national companies, and were right in my neighborhood.

Budget Dry got right to the house and took care of my problem, the staff was very efficient and friendly, which is hard to find at 8 pm any time. Check out their website at http://www.budgetdry.com if you ever need budget basement waterproofing any time of day or night.

I was very happy with the service provided and will be pleased to recommend this great company to my friends and family.

Tarps To The Rescue

This weekend I was planning on taking a load of stuff to the local outside flea market that is still open since it hasn’t turned bitter cold yet. I have taken a good amount of time to gather up and sort a bunch of stuff, besides deciding on the price to ask and then tagging it all, and have the van loaded ready to go. So what really is upsetting is that the weatherman is telling us that there is a slight chance of rain coming our way. Not that I ever put any faith in what any weather person predicts, but it still makes me a bit uneasy.

I decided to go ahead and continue with my plans, but now I have to gather up some tarps to take along to protect everything in case it does rain. I’m afraid that I might only have those ugly blue tarps out back, I’d much prefer to have clear tarps so that people can still see what is on the tables and continue selling to the customers that still continue to shop even through rains. And I really don’t like the look of those blue tarps, never have, seen to many in the yards of trailer parks I guess.

Poor Mindy

I have always had a thing for Mindy McCreedy, she is always in trouble and I guess it is a pity thing more than anything else. Her latest trouble mark that more than ever before. She is trying so hard to keep her name in print and on the air waves that she will do anything to stay in the public eye, and that is simply pitiful a feel sorry for her more than anything. She needs to find a life and get out of the public life she is not made for the grind.

Guns and Airports

How does it seem that we always hear about movie stars and athletes that carry guns to the airport and get caught. How does someone with normal intelligence not remember that they happened to have a gun in the one bag they choose to carry on the airplane. The list of people who had this stupid moment in their lives is huge. John Smith of Nowhere USA does not try to carry a gun on the plane why do the celebrities think they get a pass on this law.
