Oh crap! That's what ran over me

Sitting in the Main Street Plaza waiting for the parade!

 

[usnuzuloose]

Is it busy there today?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

So the garage sale was pretty much a bust today. My parents want to do it again on Saturday to try and unload the rest of the crap in the garage.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Whats left?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

A whole mess of (actually quite nice) furniture, like 5 boxes of old books of mine that they pulled out of the attic, some clothes, CDs, electronics, bikes, bike parts, and miscellaneous kitchen junk, as well as two brand new cases of winter dishware.

So, yeah, a lot of stuff.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Well some of it still might sell. You should have seen our garage of stuff, it was all toys.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I know. It's just frustrating, because I want to just chuck a lot of it but OMG IT MIGHT SELL FOR A QUARTER DON'T THROW IT AWAY!!!!eleventyone!

Like, all the books? They're all at most 20 years old. They're books from when I was a kid. They weren't stored well. They smell like the attic. Most of them are misshapen or falling apart. They're not going to sell and can go in the trash.

 

[usnuzuloose]

You say they are old, but you know what some original books can be worth alot of money. Dont be so quick to throw them away.. We were in a bookstore ( look it up ) in Las vegas I think it was in the Palazzo and they have books that are worth alot of money. So take a look you never know.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

They're not original books, they're later printings of mass produced pre-teen books like the Babysitter's Club. And even so, they all look horrible and are in awful condition.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Well even if they got a nickel its better than nothing. Where is skiingfast? I know where Alison and PIO is. Queenie posted earlier.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Meh. I've already told my parents that if they don't sell on Saturday, I'm dumping them in the garbage. So we shall see.

I'm not sure... I haven't been around much the last couple days either.

So many cute watermelons!

 

[usnuzuloose]

They are cute. Seems like our board is getting quiet.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Yeah... Not sure where everyone's at.

I don't know about Chicago, but in Long Beach you sell pretty much whatever you will sell between 8-11AM. Unless you have a TON of ctap like we did, and we got another hour and a half, but that was about over. Fran wants to have one at our house on the 17th. Our tenants are moving out so she wants to do it while the apartment is vacant and we have free reign of the property.

 

[franandaj]

We are sitting on Main Street with a fairly front row view of the fireworks that start in 5 min! I can't believe we have been here this long!

 

[queenie82]

Hope the fireworks were nice.
Bugger about the garage sale. I still have my babysitters club books and my brother his dungeons and dragons etc....alll that kind of stuff...
Have you a book exchange near you? Would they take the box...even for free. If not a couple bucks.
Obviously don't pay to take to them but if you are near one they might have an interest....or they might toss Em...lol...
I mean I have mine quite well stored but they still get that old book smell.

Growing up we would get second hand books from book exchanges But I don't know if people do now or not? There is one near my friends place. One of the main things I got from them was actually comic books. The long narrow strip ones which always cost a lot new.

Anyway I digress...
Been literally dozing at the computer. So tired.
Sadly forgot to get the photos off DBF before he left so I'll have to wait to see those. We got some taken of us together at Jenolan caves so I'm curious about them. We didn't even get around to loading them onto a computer to look at properly.
Anyway...hometime soon...
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[franandaj]

Back home. I can't believe we spent just about 12 hours at Disney! We did seven attractions, a parade and fireworks.

 

[skiingfast]

Home from shopping sales. Was worried the thread could of been done before I had a chance to post as LAST.
