Pantry full and freezer full...but will NEVER eat Spam!

you all should also teach your girls about their cycle and how ovulation coincides with timing for p
i truly believe if young girls know how to chart their cycles and that there was only that 3-4 day period a month that they could get pregnant, teenage pregnancy would drop. ovulation falls basically in the middle of the no period cycle, which is the time most girls would be more likely to have sex to start with thus why you hear of so many girls getting pregnant having sex only one time. face it, they are gonna do it so help teach them as a mother to chart their cycles, protect themselves, and avoid those few days.
Pantry full, 2 freezers full.
Only need to get paper products and fish. I have lots of tuna, Spam, canned chicken, sardines, corned beef hash, etc.
Got our veggie seeds last week.
Stocking up on more canned veggies and fresh veggies, mostly potatoes, as soon as I can. Potaoes last quite a while in our cold room, which is an extra bedroom with no heat. Also want to get extra bread. Love homemake bread, but DH doesn't like it for sandwiches, so I have to get store-bought bread for that. I can still buy bread at my local produce store at 2 for $1.75 and it freezes very well. In spring, it used to cost 2 for $1.25, but that's still cheaper than other places.
I'm not doing this because of what's coming. I'm doing it because I've done it for years, but usually in the fall. This fall I could only buy a few things at a time because DH not working, so I figure another month, I'll be back to normal.
Purse
It wouldn't let me email you directly. It said invalid email address.
Anyways, here is the link. The longest one I have ever seen. If by some chance it don't work let me know. I can also do other colors.

Samaitan's Purse sm
I'm leaving for Asheville, NC in the morning to see my step-uncle be honored as Doctor of the Year by Samaritan's Purse. He has no idea and also has no idea so many members of his family will be there. This is the doctor I work for and also the uncle that will be taking my son to Africa next year on a mission trip. This is going to be a wonderful weekend. My grandparents are 82 and 86. The fact that they will be there to see this is absolutely amazing.
I have a Coach purse
and wallet combo that I paid almost $800 for combined. They're about a year old and look better than they did when I pulled them out of the bag. The leather is tanned better and so it actually starts to look better when it ages. There is a very different feel to a handbag like that as opposed to one from Wal Mart which is where I got every other purse I had.
I bought it at the Coach Store on Rodeo Drive when I was on vacation - that was part of the fun for me. I paid cash and have never regretted it. It's a fabulous purse and should last me for the next 20 years.
Can it really cause trouble from inside a purse?
I'd rather be barked at then sprayed with cologne, but then I reeeeally like dogs. In some countries they are allowed to come inside restaurants. Fun.
Not my purse I'd worry about -- my kids!
Thanks for this valuable warning.
a doggie purse is personal property.

Why would you think her purse was in the trunk of her car?? They've found "items" on a maj
road so i'm wondering if it's the contents from her purse. It's very strange - no forced entry, only her purse was taken.
The latest is that she is still in critical but stable condition. If it's someone she knew, I hope she has not suffered any brain damage and can identify that person. They said she will have to undergo multiple surgeries - I wonder if she will ever return to our news station? Also, she's in the new movie "W" and had been at a premier for it late last week.
I love my Coach purse too - bought it on Ebay! nm

I keep a little travel pack in my purse and one in the glove box..bought them at Wal Mart..nm

2 For 1 Sale
 I understand completely. My husband is disabled so he is here with me 24/7. Drives me crazy some days. Yes I do believe husband's can be more difficult than children!
At my last sale...
20 - $1
12 - 0.25
4 - $5
2 - $10
I nearly always get them on sale --
and I usually pay around $10 or so for some really good quality shoes. Yes, I said $10.00. Sometimes I have gotten $120.00 shoes for $20. At the end of July and beginning of August is the best time for these great sales. When I find one I usually get 2 or more pair if I find what I like. Then I am good for about another few years. But for knocking around the house I usually get cheapo sneakers at Walmart. Now, for serious walking or jogging I usually end up paying about $80.00 (on sale) for a really good walking shoe.
I don't buy anything unless it is on SALE now!
toy box I got at a garage sale
I saw what I thought would make a great little wood toybox but when I looked closer it had The Budwiser Clydesdales engraved on it. It is in great shape, only a few scratches but nothing major. I paid $20 for it. I had saw it and described it to dh on the phone and he doesn't think I should put that in the girls room. (5 and 18 months). So I bought it and put it in the hallway with some toys stacked on top. You have to look close to see it. Am I terrible to use that for a toy box. Dh doesn't think it is a good idea. As already stated, you can barely see it and I thought it would be a great way to get to get some toys off the floor. Maybe when I find a better one I can sale that at my garage sale.
yard sale
It's not junk.....They're treasures! Trying to gear up, wash, tag and display it all is quite a task....But, you'll have cleaned out your garage and/or storage unit, enriched someone else's life with your old treasures and made a neat profit.
ps-.Watch out for the earlybirds in their fancy cars,,,,they're ruthless. Cat
at a yard sale
met my fiance when my daughter and his niece were having a yard sale in his front yard - they called me to come and bring them blizzards from DQ - they had a feeling we would hit it off - been together ever since - almost 4 years. .
Having my first ever yard sale..

JC Penney sale
I'm always pleasantly surprised at the sales I run across on purses (pocketbooks/bags, whatever you prefer) at JC Penney. The last time I got the cutest smallish lime green leather bag for $12. This time I found a very streamlined Relic bag in a brown pattern on sale for $23. It's a little bigger and has all the features I look for, like multiple pockets, a divider that is attached at the bottom of the bag to control what goes where, a phone pocket, the right length straps to carry from my hand or put over my shoulder.
I can't understand how so many stores think I'm going to pay $70 for a purse that's not even leather! Not going to happen.
sell the sale
As you are shoving the leftovers in the fridge say,
"Amazing sale on turkeys at such and such, you should go get one!"

Garage Sale Advice.
We are having a garage sale this weekend and I need any advice that you have to give. What things do you like to see or things that you absolutely hate. What time do you hit the roads? Do you look for signs or newspaper ads? Thanks for any tips.
Had our neighborhood yard sale on Sat.
and while one Mom had her back turned her daughter sold a $118 Lee Middleton doll for $2. Guess the person knew what a find they had becuase they high-tailed it out of the neighborhood. What a rotten person!
Don't yard sale the Bakelite.
Bakelite is very popular and expensive to buy (unless things have changed in the last year). My husband got $500 for 4 bracelets and 2 pins.
There is a way to test the items without harming them using an everyday household product, but I can't remember what it is...I know, no help. Maybe you can Google and find it.
Yard sale, need pricing help
I have some paint by number pictures that I do not want to keep (these are the ones already painted.) These are the old ones, probably from the 50s. I had heard these were sorta collector items but has anyone sold or bought any of these and if so, what is a good price to put on them for my community yard sale coming up? Thanks.
Community Yard Sale
I posted earlier on here about ideas about having yard sale. Someone said for early birds to put sign out saying everything before 8 double the price. Well, that sounds good but in reality one of the first about 7:30 this morning before all set out got indignant that I would have a sign out like that, stating she had been to sooo many sales before and did I want to sell or not? Not was basically my answer. I did this because I had never been involved in my community yard sale but it was so much effort and very little return. I even had a Hispanic ask me would I mind if he used the bathroom in my backyard- told him someone back there and besides that my neighbors would mind. My community has high end homes and besides that, there are laws against things like that. Oh well, live and learn.
Whatever sale item is most important to you
start there...early. Sale ads from Wednesday night's or Thursday morning's newspapers should tell you the store hours and sale hours. Many end at 11am. My dd and I like to go about an hour after stores open, though it's still dark outside. The crowds that were waiting in line overnight for the big ticket items are gone by then, and most everyone else avoids the stores until the afternoon hours, thinking they will be less crowded. Wrong they are though. There are more employees on duty early rather than later, so things move more quickly in the morning hours. We've also found the earlier crowds to be friendlier. DD starts singing Christmas carols while standing in line and soon lots of others join in. She's a blast to shop with. Then we go to a late breakfast and go home before the unfriendly crowds show up. Hope your experience is an enjoyable one.
Start with what's on sale and build from there ... sm
1. Stick to from-scratch meals when you can as opposed to anything packaged and/or processed.
2. Bake bread from scratch, too, rather than buy, if you can, or at least pick up some of the frozen loaves of dough and bake 'em, which is usually still considerably cheaper.
3. Potatoes (unless you load 'em down with something fattening or need to avoid starches for some reason) are generally pretty cheap, as are eggs, various types of pasta, chopped frozen vegetables. When I'm in "conservation mode," I tend to make a lot of macaroni salads, potato salads, egg salads, etc., either as standalones or as sandwich fillings (and if you stick to low- or no-fat dressings, sour creams, salsas, etc., you can stay reasonably healthy).
4. Cereal (both hot and cold) and milk, if you buy wisely for both price and nutrition, are usually a reasonably cheap meal, as well.
I'm sure you know all this, but just brainstorming. But definitely try to take advantage of what's on sale and incorporate that when you can.
walmart has a good one on sale for $398 starts from 11/5 to 11/15. nm

Yard sale tomorrow - how much change?
Hi, everybody, happy TGIF.
I'm having a yard sale tomorrow and hoping to raise a decent amount of $ to help buy a wheelchair accessible van for my DH. My question is this: How much change would you think I should have available and in what sorts of denominations? Most stuff will be under $10 but there will be a few higher priced items.
Thanks !

About earnest money on sale of house
I am due to sell a home and the realtor has $5,000.00 he says he has put in escrow. i have asked him this question but no answer so thought I would send it out this way and see if others have had similar issue. I am thinking this money is like a down payment and if so I would just as soon wait until the closing to get that. My realtor said if the purchaser pulled away, then it would be my money. My relative is so worried that i should get the money right away which, like I said above, can just wait as closing early part of July. Anyone have any insight into this? Should I have the money up front, is it not a downpayment?? Thanks.
Reading about yard sale below and my question
is- I have some costume jewelry that belonged to my mother. I have probably 30 to 40 necklaces, earrings, pins and then I have some bracelets. The question is about the bracelets. I believe they could be, am thinking the name is Lucite ? but perhaps there is another name for them, sorta plastic type but these are probably from the 50s. I would like to find if they are of any value because I sure would hate to sell for a nominal fee only to find out they are more expensive. I have shared a lot of this jewelry with friends, inlaws but I do not wear most of this and it just has sat here for years. BTW, I am having my house keeper to be here with a second set of eyes for just the things mentioned below (sticky fingers and the like). Any suggestions about a successful sale? I have loads of things.
Having community wide yard sale and
had it not been for this post I probably would not have checked my bracelets out. This was posted last week but I thought some that replied might be interested to know it was exactly like they thought, more expensive than just the average and collectable.
We also had a community yard sale this weekend.
I've done this three other times in the 23 years that I've lived here. Every time was way more hassle then it was worth. For me, the point of my yard sales has never been to make cash. Rather, I'm just trying to clear clutter. And people who come to a yard sale can be soooo rude and pushy. They'll want to haggle over something that costs 50 cents! This time, I put everything out and told my home-from-college son to run the sale. He could keep the money. It was worth it to him, but I won't ever do it again. I spent so much time getting the stuff together and getting it ready and tagged. I could have done something more enjoyable with my precious time!
Next time I want to clear clutter, I'm tossing and donating. No more selling!
I am hating all stores with anything for sale on line!!! sm
Went to Target.com to order a bunch of dolls and stuff to go with it and web site stated all was in stock and would ship in 1-2 business days. I ordered this for my daughters birthday in September. I placed my order August 2nd and only got one doll in time for her September 30th birthday!!! I emailed and called to complain about offering merchandise and not having it available. Never got anywhere with them..except a bunch of email replys from someone outside of the US!!!
Went to Toys R Us.com to place a huge Christmas order. I had a coupon for $50.00 off my order if I ordered a certain amount of merchandise and I also had free S&H. Got a call from my credit card stating someone at Toys R Us used my card to order a bunch of stuff for themselves.
From now on shopping only in stores with CASH!!!
Whatever's on sale & unscented. Scented makes me itch! (nm)

Goody's oftentimes puts Dockers on sale for 50% off...sm
If you don't have a store near you, you can register on-line and they'll alert you to the sales that include internet orders.
They are doing an early Black Friday sale now online!
There is a website that shows all the Black Friday ads and also shows which ones are online now, or will be on Friday. Most stores are doing the same sales online now.
Just Google black friday info
Last week, bananas were on sale for 39 cents per pound.

I know full well that I was able to...
say "no" to sex at 18 years old, and 17 and 16 and even before that. I knew what sex was and how babies are made. I dated older men and I held my ground. I do believe that all 16, 17 and 18-year-olds know exactly what they are getting into. I think the man is a creep and that he, because of his authority position, had an obligation to stay away from her, but I just can't see two consenting adults having sex as a crime. Inappropriate--absolutely.
Husband for sale - harder to work with him home than the grandkids. (sm)
He is cleaning our furnace and muttering, muttering, hollering where is this, I bet I have got up and went in there 4 times this morning to just have him mutter never mind I found it.
You gotta love them, but he of all people should know my money comes from my butt being in that chair.
If the lady had this doll at a yard sale, apparently it didn't mean that much to her. sm
and maybe the mom said to her daughter that anything at the yard sale is for sale at any price - she just wants to get rid of it. You shouldn't judge unless you know all the facts.
Yeah, I meant fresh stuff when I said on sale, but didn't .... sm
...finish my thought (a common problem in Chuckville).
Now that I finally have closed on the house (just a month ago) I have a huge yard in which to put in a garden this year (or whenever I get the energy, at least, which may be the 12th of Never the way I'm feeling today, but can't be until about mid May with our short growing season here).
Speaking of lettuce, the local (and only one for about 35 miles in any direction) grocery store here had iceberg lettuce for $3.95 a head the year before last. I kid you not. I coulda plotzed.
