To Wen and the Bounders, [ ok, all in the Daily Drool too : )  ]

To the Jack-ASS that apparently is always unhappy about SOMETHING,
please allow me to send a little something to make up for him being a Jack-ASS--
please post your street address (or better yet, your paypal address) so that I may do this.
God Bless you in your endeavors...


Anyone else willing to join me?...

This afternoon,  after about 7 hours in the 
hot FLA sun with some wonderful SHA volunteers helping get set up for the big 
yard sale tomorrow,  one of my neighbors stopped by.  He called 
himself a neighbor, but he lives about 3 streets down.  He was complaining 
about our signs we put up 10 days ago to advertise the sale.  Granted the 
signs are each 4ft x 8ft,  there are 2, so that each direction of traffic 
sees them.  We live on the corner of a somewhat busy street which gives us 
GREAT location for this yard sale to be a success.  And people know what we 
do and look forward to this big sale once a year.  (They have requested it 
2x a year, but I cannot even think about that!) 
So he is flailing his arms, going off how the signs 
are too much for the neighborhood.   I tried to listen to him but was 
stuck on too much for the neighborhood, which he never did explain.  He was 
just in a very bad mood.
I did say I was sorry he was offended, and let him 
know we do this once a year, all for the dogs.  And then he made the 
comment........I wonder just how much goes to the dogs.    
 
It was a good thing 2 volunteers were right there 
as I was about to go ballistic on him.  I did tell him 100 percent goes to 
the dogs and stopped at that.  He made another comment and I suggested he 
drive out the other end of the street so he wouldn't see them,  then he 
started in that I was telling him how to drive.  
 
He was going on now about up until that comment he 
was doing better with the signs,  so I just told him to have a good day and 
walked away.  Not at all what I wanted to tell him or do,  but glad I 
did.
 
After that, I called the permitting dept and found 
out you do not need a permit for a yard sale unless you do one over 2x a 
year.  no problems,  then found out that ALL yard sale signs are 
against permitting regulations.  ALL,  not just 4x8 ones,  even a 
1x1 sign, all against the rules.  So really the size does not matter,  
just that it is a yard sale sign.  I will go next week to city hall and 
find out what I need to do next year to be within permitting reg and just change 
the signage to say something other than yard sale, but get the point across to 
folks.  Maybe just put out  Drooling for Dollars.  we will figure 
it out.,
 
I think mostly, I was totally insulted that the 
money would not go to the hounds.  Granted, he doesn't know me.  And 
if he comes tomorrow,  he will be asked nicely to leave.  
 
Now,  I have to go do my baking for tomorrow 
and also vacuum a bit.
 
Many folks have commented how they do not make much 
money at the yard sale they have done.  We did over 3k last year and I 
think 2700 the year before.  I think we will do anywhere in between 3 and 
4k this year.  SO they are worth our efforts. 
Wish us luck please, the weather is looking to be 
sunny and hot!
