For Sale

When I arrived at my sister's place Wednesday afternoon, they had their garbage out for Thursday morning pick up... Oshawa has this all new recycling program, clear bags, food in a special garbage container etc etc etc. Good for the environment, but a lot of work.

Oshawa has a 4 item limit, and they had an old radio and fax machine that they were hoping to send to the garbage but cause they had 4 items already, the fax machine and radio were sitting in front of the garage, waiting for NEXT week...

I said to carol: " I can tell you what our FATHER would do.... he'd have a for sale sign on it and have it at the end of the driveway"
( My dad can see ice cubes to eskimos...)

anyway... she laughed..... that won't happen in THIS neighbourhood ( the houses on their street are pretty snottily tidy... it's nauseating, really.. but I digress )

so anyway.....when I went to pick the girls up Thursday afternoon, Carol was still at work... so I took the liberty of doing some uh.... SELLING...... made up a sign, and moved the items to the road.... and left my dad's telephone # on it!

In my mind I could hear Carol saying... NOT IN THIS NEIGHBOURHOOD... and me replying... OH YES YOU CAN!!!

the funny part is...... Some guy in a truck stopped to see the radio..... I told Carol if she SELLS IT, I get half!
