I get several newspapers. I don't normally read the obituaries (word for word), but I do skim thru them and look at the ages mostly. I saw this one the other day and thought I was reading my own (since of course I am such an inspiration too, yadda yadda). I do see obits pretty often that mention yardsales.
Years ago, when I first started this website, for some strange reason I thought it would be a good idea to send out email newsletters. I think I sent out 5 or 6 over the course of 3 years. (Too much work for no benefit - bounced back emails that I would have to clean up, people unsubscribing and subcribing - which I had to do manually etc). Anyhow in one of the newsletters someone submitted a poem about God's Garage Sale. I'll see if I can find it and post it.

Here's the stuff I bought on Saturday. Will see if my brother wants the cat waterer ($2). Some of the stuff will eventually make its way to eBay. Like the Wilton Armetale bread dish ($2) and the baggy full of Tonka Chuck & Friends trucks ($2). I don't know what I will do with the metal frog lifting weights statue (.50). I don't know why I bought it, I guess since I didn't already have a frog lifting weights statue. Bought the .38 Special CD ($1) since they are coming to town this summer and I may bartend at it so I figured it would be good to listen to beforehand. Bon Jovi CD was only .25 (each CD was
The Good Charlotte t-shirt ($1) is for me. They are locals (from the next county over...) so I had to get the shirt with their hometown name on it. My old neighbors (in the mid-90's) used to tell me all the time that they knew several of the Good Charlotte guys. They had no reason to lie to me (and the girl worked at a record store) so I think she was telling the truth.
I have been a good charlotte fan for alomst 7 years now, i hold them dearly in my heart <3 i've noticed a few times since ive been following your blog you've picked up good charlotte things =)
ReplyDeleteMy son would die for that bag of cars!!
ReplyDeleteAnony - yes, yardsales is where I buy all my Good Charlotte merchandise :) Funny thing was at the yardsale on Saturday the seller also had the identical GC shirt I was wearing that day also for sale ($1). On the East Coast We Ride. Jacob also has the identical shirt in kid size (also bought at a ys). I just remembered that he has a field trip to the high school later this week, so I think I will have him wear that shirt to school that day (to impress the high-schoolers -haha)
ReplyDeleteBloggers - your kid doesn't have to die - you can just bid gobs and gobs of money for it when I list it on ebay! Will try to get it listed this week. I counted and there are 20 cars in the bag (a few duplicates)
ReplyDeleteI might need that bag of cars as well...
ReplyDeleteThe obituary is pretty rad, except for the fact that someone died. You know what I mean.
