That's great!! I have a different strategy that works pretty well for me. I stay home and tell my relatives what I'm looking for. (I'm sorta with your husband on this one.

You can pee only once, and that is at the sketchy laundromat. However, if there are not any sales around that location you are out of luck.<br />2. If you touch any of said maternity things you must rub it on someone else quickly to get rid of the curse.<br />3. Most importantly if you don't follow the rules THEY WILL LEAVE YOU (or yell at you the rest of the trip)!<br />Even with the name calling I receive my favorite thing to do on a Saturday is go Saling!Audhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05482480473556423477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403653062797003205.post-56905156330049725762012-08-12T08:28:03.779-05:002012-08-12T08:28:03.779-05:00So I feel the need to respond to this blog, if not...So I feel the need to respond to this blog, if nothing else, to defend myself!! Sherri left out a few things. People seem to enjoy our playful? bantering! (mean...she's mean to me, really) <br /><br />The funniest was the time we were discussing a price on some shoes and I suggested she negotiate with the lady. She made the deal for $4 and then said, "Okay but if they don't fit, I'm going to beat $4 out of YOU!!" The lady in charge of the yard sale very timidly replied..."uhhhh okay, I guess..." I burst out laughing and said, "I THINK she was talking to me!!" LMAO <br /><br />Okay so as for the rules...which I'm quite sure we have both broken but isn't that what rules are for?? :) The new time rule that was implemented yesterday was quite effective! Actually, as I think about our rules, it occurs to me that they mostly apply to the "sellers". 1. Do NOT describe your listing as "HUGE" unless you have at least 10 tables full of said crap. 2. The knick-knack tables should be OUTSIDE of the garage where we can see them as we drive up...we don't want to see a sea of clothing! 3. Clothing is okay, if WE are in the mood! But as Hag mentioned above, maternity clothes should be CLEARLY IDENTIFIED! 4. Price your stuff to ALLOW for negotiations. We love to barter, so be FLEXIBLE!! <br /><br />So as you can see, our "saling" really is NOT for the faint of heart. But it IS good for the heart and soul! Sherri and I have determined that neither of us is going to win the best friend award...but we really are the best of friends! Our yard saling is actually just a lame excuse to get together for coffee. LOL We spend more money in gas to drive around town, abuse each other and save .50 cents. But therapy is expensive, so our Saturday morning drive is well worth the gas!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17721096202166692358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403653062797003205.post-88003464265670509062012-08-12T08:18:46.899-05:002012-08-12T08:18:46.899-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17721096202166692358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403653062797003205.post-63370637142616798842012-08-11T23:44:31.156-05:002012-08-11T23:44:31.156-05:00We used to do that, haven't in a while....
