My hubby is mortified when I haul something home ....one day I cut
through the parking lot behind the theater and there on top of their
dumpster was a water bed...I needed a shelf unit badly in my store room,
so I backed the El Camino up to the dumpster, slid the lovely 2x8's or
whatever off onto the truck, grabbed the plywood bottom pieces, the
liner to use in the garden and was driving away in less than 5
minutes...Hubby fussed at me , but I told him nobody saw me , I was
moving so fast !Hey ! I GIVE to the dump on a regular basis..recycle
everything , it is only reasonable that it give something back once in
awhile...Like that big oil painting from Germany, the wicker doll buggy,
canning jars, bicycles, blue glass...

We just don't see eye to eye...even though both of us grew up poor...I
love to shop at Big Lot's, my favorite flea market...want ads, etc...I'm
breaking into e bay now..as a seller so far, but who knows how long I can
resist becoming a buyer ? Jeannie T

my house and say oh it's so cute! I tell them it is decorated in Big
Lots and junk stores and they flip!
