Bunny,
I spent several hours yesterday moving crap around in the garage for my wife’s upcoming garage sale. I’ll be scheduling myself out of town for the actual sale…

Y’all have heat and humidity in Canada?? How about that!!
Hey, better you than me with the garage sale. I just get a bunch of guys together and we haul the stuff to the Salvation Army
RL- All the stuff that we did not sell I donated to the Goodwill ('cept for some of the bride’s antique stuff she wanted to keep). People were hilarious. After I had dismantled, delivered and re-assembled a set of bunk beds, ping pong table and a computer desk (all at different locations), my sense of humour was gone.
This is an excerpt of one of the social interactions I had this day (after above)…
New snow tires, about 3,500 kms on them… immaculate condition, purchased last winter for about $600 and marked for sale… $125…
guy- “These are pretty nice tires, how much you asking?”
me- “The price is on them sir, but is negotiable”
guy- “How much will you take for them?”
me- “Asking $125, but I will take $100, not going any lower”
guy- “I will give you $50”
me- “For 2 of 'em, sure…”
guy- “For all 4”
me- “No… lowest I am going is $100… tires are brand new almost and top of the line brand”
guy- “$75 highest I am going”… as he starts to pull $75 out of his wallet.
me- “Keep your money then… I will sell them privately for $200”
guy- “here, take the $75 and we got a deal…”
me- “no, I told you… $100, and that is final, conversation closed”
guy- “well, I guess you don’t really want to sell them, or you are a poor negotiator… which is it?”
me- “here is a helluva deal I want you to think about… get off my property on your own, or be carried off face down with $75 sticking outta your ass by a bunch of medics that are going to be called here very shortly if I lose my temper…”
At this point my wife was glaring at me, one eyebrow raised and hands on her hips… which, after 25 years I have learned is the universal sign for “Don’t piss me off husband, and don’t embarass me”. Anyways, the guy left (empty handed) and my wife relaxed a bit.
Yeah, when Jackson said that to GSP I almost spit beer through my nose… that was awesome. I loved Henderson knocking Bisping out and shuttin’ him up for a while. Lesnar… well, he was pretty hyped up, what do people expect?
The first fight though… Belcher and the Japanese dude… Belcher got robbed. I could not believe that. I hope the UFC does not got the way of the boxing… with corruption in judging etc. Left a very bad taste in my mouth.
Math- I am gonna do the same next time…
Willy- that is what I usually do, but the stuff was pilin’ up and the wife got this idea… and he rest is history.
This must be contagious, my wife was going through yesterday making a list of all items to sell. I am going to try craigslist first though, to at least limit the traffic flow.
I refuse to do a yard/garage sale. Just something about people goin thru my stuff and aruing over what it’s worth. Most things I give to the Purple Heart Society.
we had a neighborhood yard sale this spring. it really brings out the cream of the crop that our society has to offer.
one item we had to sell was a set of four little fold out tables that you use to eat off of when there’s too many people in your house. the thing is they fit into this handy little stand with a handle to carry all of them around. obviously it’s a package deal. this mexican dude in his very broken english wanted to buy one. the whole set was…like 10 bucks. he says - “one for one dollar??” I said “no…it’s a set” i’ll give you the whole set for 5 bucks". he says… “no!! only one!!” again… i say “no…it’s a set”. at this point i’m sitting behind my little table with my daughter in my lap. He takes a crushed up dollar out of his pocket, throws it on the table and proceeds to try and pull one of the tables out of the carrier. this dude can’t be more than 5’ 3" and about 150lbs. i put my daughter down, grab the dollar and walk up behind Pepe still trying to figure out how to get the table out of the carrier. i reach around, stick the dollar in his shirt pocket and grab him by the back of his shirt and his pants. i guess he was lighter than i figured because i tossed that little amigo right into the middle of my street. he gets up and starts rambling something that i could care less to understand.
the funny thing is my little girl says- "daddy… now throw me!! "

I have a left body part I’d give to have one of your ‘not bad’ days. Great lifting Bun
Nice work Bunny dude. I will be working up to my DL opener this weekend, anxious to see how it feels.
Nice work
good pulling. How is the lat feeling.
yard sales are strange- they don’t exist in NYC- you cant keep stuff here when you move so you throw it out.
think of all the junk in your garage or basement when you live in an apartment you just cant have that…
however on the weekends at the summer/weekend place we go to them all the time.
and yes it does attract the dregs of society.

Nice deads dude.
I definitely don’t have the, uh, social eptitude (is that a word?), to do a yard/garage sale.
