Hopefully that fun activity will take their minds off the fact that I'm selling most of their toys. I decided last weekend that anything they didn't play with between Saturday and Sunday was going in the sale next week. They won't know it until they see it all set up on the tables. I'm also selling the stupid papasan chair they love so much, because I'm sick of cleaning our cat's shit out of the middle of the cushion.
Speaking of kids, there are other items in the sale that they probably won't miss. Like Jailen's old crib that lost a couple of the original screws and clips. For some reason that thing snaps shut like rat trap and collapses on top of itself as soon as you put more than 10 pounds of weight inside of it. There was a still a baby blanket trapped inside that I had to remove before I could reassemble the thing.
I've also got some stuff for the guys. Like my ex-husbands record albums, and his military stuff. I had told him that I threw all his things out, but no way! That shit's collectible! I'm also getting rid of my new husband's collection of novelty cologne bottles. He's got a motorcycle one, one shaped like a gun, and even one like a sexy lady! He loves those bottles...but I guess if he loves them so much then he shouldn't be going away to see a football game this weekend!
Last but not least, I'm selling all the crap that the nursing home sent over when my aunt died. I'm asking a very fair price on the grocery bag full of used catheters, and the raised toilet seat cushion (due to a few inches of exposed foam through a break in the seam). I've also got her high-end shower chair up for grabs. It only has a few dark stains on the seat, and one of the wheels keeps popping off. It's a nice chair, especially at this price. Nobody has to know that she died on it!

I call dibs on the crib.
Hey! Is the cat up for grabs too?? I hope so! I'm trying to become a Crazy Old Cat Lady ™.
I'll take the cologne collection and the bag full o'fun the lady in the pink pants is throwin away!
I bet that crib would be a great place to keep the neighborhood children and stray cats.
What kinda of military stuff and are the records in good shape.
+1 on the military stuff - the ol' ankle bracelet is coming off on Friday, and, well, I'm looking for a gun shaped like a gun.
Can you check the crib to see if there is a sticker stating whether or not the crib is definitely fireproof? I had some bad luck with the last one while I was teaching my toddler to smoke.
I might have to fight Dusty for that cat- we're having a mexican bbq this weekend at my house and we're short on cash to buy the goat we normally use.
Yes! Sell those toys! Nothing sweeter than the tears of a heartbroken child. Good times...
Any of your old sex toys for sale?
I'm wondering if you still have that old iron manacle with that 10 pound ball attached to it that you used when Jailen started crawling? I'd like to buy it from you, as my 9 month old has turned into a mini tornado who has somehow managed to break the sound barrier using only her hands and knees. Let me know! I don't know where to buy real traditional pirate gear out here in the midwest!
Do ya have any Jarts for sale?
We had a set but my niegbore was heatin them on the grill afore we had a game and the ^&%$ things melted. I been lookin evereywere for more Jarts cuz the kids realy like to play with them and the cats an we cant find em anywere.

Hey- you copied me ! I hope you sold more than I did.
laugh if you want but I have one of those chairs just for my cats to sleep in
You had me at 'used catheters.'
Wow, what a terrible human being to lie about throwing things away only to be greedy and try and make money off of them. Whether you believe in it or not, karma does exist and what goes around comes around. Can't wait 'til you get yours.
