I went to the store and on the way I spotted a yardsale. Well, thinking I might add to my great finds for the day, I stopped to browse. There were a pile of clothes and I went to look to see if there was anything that looked like it would sell. Upon getting closer to the blanket (the clothes were spread out on a blanket) I noticed an awful odor like dog poopy. So I look on the ground to make sure that I didn't step in any. Didn't see any on the ground, so I successfully made it to the clothing pile. There in the middle of the clothing pile was a big pile of dog sh**. Apparantly the dog had a bad case of the runs....and it was all runny and gooey all over everything. I turned to leave immediately.
The woman running the sale had already come over and she picked the stuff up and was shaking it all over the place, telling me she would knock a quarter off the item she was currently shaking because I would, "probably have to wash it." I would PROBABLY have to wash it??? As in I might not have to????
Well, I left the yardsale, not responding to the woman. I hopped in the car and drove off. I'll stay clear of that place from now on.

LOL. That is SO funny! Might have to wash it.
I stopped at one about an hour ago and everything was priced high. Didn't buy anything either. But I didn't see any dog poop either, so I will consider myself lucky.

I went to a yard sale by an e-bay seller. She priced everything higher than she ever hoped to get on E-Bay. But her friend brought over some of her own junk. And I bought a huge box (at least 150)of quilting magazines from early 70's to 80's for 8.00 in wonderful shape. The rest of the morning was a bust. A few promising estate sales tomorrow!

My wife took off work today and we had a day together. Went to a bunch of sales and made out great. Bought a electric grill like a George Foreman medium size but nicer - It has a drip pan that slides in the bottom instead of sitting in front and the ribbed plates come out to go in the dishwasher and it has a timer. New in box for $25.00 for us - not to sell. Wife found a beautiful wool blazer that fits perfect for $5.
Got a big box of sheet music to sell for $5.00.
Got high intensity warning flashers that you can set the flash rate and color for sitting behind a disabled car for $2 each.
It was cloudin' up and fixin' to rain so glanced around quickly as the two ladies were putting things away. On the porch about 6 feet away was a 'free' sign. Done with the checking out the merchandise I strolled on over. All the books and magazines were
FREE!
WooHoo! You never saw someone pack so fast! Cheered me right up! The major score was a stack of immaculate mags that I am not personally interested in but sell every time I can get me mitts on them for 5 bucks each. There were 38 of that title! Plus 40 other special interest mags, boring special interest books, etc. I have had the absolutely BEST sales on books that are about stuff I haven't a clue about...... know whut I mean? These were; calculus. Hunting White-Tail. Shakespear. Knitting. Wine Cookery. Raising Turkeys. Applied Physics (is that a laundry problem?) Gollee those are boring!
Gollee they sell better than the wonderful (and too plentiful) Grisham, Grafton, Barry, La'Amour, Cornwell, Christie, Michner, etc.
Yuck! I would've felt like washing my OWN clothes when I got home!!
