I had totally forgotten about the written reviews until this board. Remember how quiet the Hall was during them? I think I liked them better than the usual blather, but I was just a kid, so it didn't matter much.

I remember most the smell of the paper.

She's going to pull the ole' "you can still come back in" BS, which is what she is supposed to do. How can I tell her this is not going to happen without her labeling me as an apostate?

Worst Garage Sale Experiences

i remember the worst garage sale i ever went to.

i walked into the back yard, and i saw nothing outside, and the car was parked in the garage.

the man who was holding the yard sale asked "is there anything you're looking for?".

My husband and I had a garage sale in upstate New York back in 1997. We were getting ready to move to a warmer climate, so we were selling a lot of our winter stuff (not knowing we would be moving to Michigan a couple of years later). Same scenario as described in earlier posts, people getting there at the crack of dawn, people trying to get you to go down on everything, etc. The funniest thing that happened was that we closed the sale at around 4:00 and we were sitting in the dining room eating dinner. The garage door was about half-way down and we had pulled everything to the back. A car pulls up in the driveway and my husband was just getting ready to go out to tell this lady we were closed. He was just in time to see the lady duck underneath our garage door, steal a purse off one of the tables and run back to her car and drive off! We couldn't believe it! I would have just given it to her if she wanted it that bad!

We had another one last year and it wasn't as bad. People are just so GREEDY when it comes to these things! Do they think they're going to find some lost treasure that's worth a million dollars or WHAT? It's crazy.

demon possessed things

has anyone ever possessed something that you'd swear had a demon attached to it?

we've all been told to watch out for things purchased at flea markets, garage sales.... but did something slip through the cracks and into your home?

my story goes like this: i live in a historic community my next door neighbor found a small grave in her backyard.

In the late 70's, there was a lot going around about "backward masking" on certain group's rock albums. Of course, just about every album I owned was now considered "demonized" and they all wound up in the dumpster. My mother made me throw them in, which was supposed to be some kind of spiritual cleansing for me. All I remember is looking at all my albums in the dumpster the next day and feeling sad. Of course, I have all of them on CD now!

NOTE On American No Call List

.

i noticed someone here the other day making a discouraging remark about the subject no call list to the effect that it was a waste of time because advertising calls were still coming through.

i don't remember who was making these ill-informed remarks.. the american no call list does not go into effect until october 1, 2003. best to be fully informed before blasting a good idea out of the saddle.. frank

I did hear on the radio that if a company happens to get hold of your WORK phone number, the NO CALL list would not apply. The list only applies to your home number. I have a feeling that receptionists around the country are going to be answering a lot more phone calls after 10/1!

Howdy to you, Big Tex! What's worse about the whole thing at work is that I work for the HUMAN RESOURCES department (please don't hate me) and we are involved in this whole "internet police" thing! H.R. is the perfect job for me as I'm nosy by nature. We get to find out the good stuff FIRST!

It all started when some idiots started surfing and downloading porn at work. I don't have a problem with people doing stuff like that in the privacy of their homes, but AT WORK????? Give me a break! So, they decided to not only ban porn, but gambling sites, religious sites and internet shopping sites. The porn and religious sites were banned to keep co-workers from getting offended and filing a law suit, the gambling and shopping sites to keep people from goofing off instead of doing their jobs. LIke I said, having buddies in the IS department is a GOOD thing!
