OMG freakout begins... Now

Today I decided on a whim to quit this stupid Craigslist nonsense and just hold a yard sale. So, I put up an ad on Craigslist (shut up) to advertise my yard sale, for TOMORROW. (Canada people, it's a holiday ok?)

Ohhh, tonight is gonna be an all-nighter, methinks.

Who's dumb idea was this anyway, to hold a last-minute, thrown-together yard sale with three kids and no help? Lily, Rachel, consider yourselves drafted.

Goal: $100

I'll let you know how it goes. If I don't post tomorrow night, it either went so well that I'm exhausted, so poorly that I'm drunk, or I just gave up and sold myself into slavery.

Wish me luck!

Bordom - not curiosity - killed the cat

Have you even been really bored, so you go on Craigslist to tool around? And then once you've run out of sections of CL that interest you to look at, you start to look at the non-interesting categories? Have you ever clicked on the "Casual Encounters" tab?

No? Then DON'T.

Furthermore, do NOT click on any ad therein with a pic attached. Just DON'T.

I did. That is where I learned the following:

1. Somewhere, someone has a fetish for EVERYTHING. I understand the dress-up ones, but used maxi pads? Defecation? Hemmoroids? I have been schooled.
2. "Before Work" is the most popular time for a BJ.
3. Some of the men in my area should be porn actors.
4. Most of the women should not.
5. You really can tell the fake boobs from the real ones. Huh.
6. Pregnant women are in surprising demand.
7. The ferry from here to the mainland is just one big orgy on water. I'll be staying in my car from now on.
8. "Young" is mid-30's.
9. A suspicious number of posters seem to be "just passing through".
10. If you can host - you can have anything you want.

I'm actually a little alarmed. I go out into the town, and all these people are just walkin' around, acting all normal... Now I know that when the lights go out, the freakshow begins!

Back at it!

Craigslisting, that is. I thought I got rid of all my unnecessary junk. I was wrong.

Wish me luck!

CLEAN SWEEP!!!

Just because compiling it all took a long time, and because it's my blog and I'll post what I want to!

Well, I tried.

Another Rule for Craigslisting, ATK*

(*According To Kira)

12.) If you say you're going to come for something, PLEASE come for it! Not that I don't enjoy spending all day stuck at home with my piece of furniture you said you were "in love with", but in most cases I've got other people interested in the same piece who WOULD come and get it, but I've told them all it's pending YOUR pickup and then you never pick it up... Sheesh. Don't make me start posting "First come, first served", I don't like it!!!

Ok, ok, I talk about Craigslist too much...

But I made $50 before I even woke up this morning. How's YOUR day?

*snicker*
