Silly you, I'm not talking off the top of my handbag -- I could use another
one this year.

I have one - only one, and I leave it in the trunk of the car when I shop.
DH carries the money ;-)) I carry my medicare card!

What a tease! ;-))

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Anyone who travels will find Google
Groups useful, as well as anyone whose ISP fails for any reason. It can be
cluttered, but it works and also has back posts so that you can search for
something you have forgotten.

It's unfortunate that the spammers have taken it up to abuse the system, but
it's still a very useful tool. People often forget that everyone's life
isn't as simple and regular as theirs.

LOL....that's the way I find out. Some of it does suck, but after doing
this for a few years, I'm much pickier than in the beginning. I got a bagel
toaster for cheap a couple of summers ago, but it didn't work the way I
wanted it too, since it only toasts the one side, but "Fiance's" sons use it
all the time to make small pizzas from English muffins. I think it's more
entertainment value for me, like the yard saleing. I've gotten some really
good deals. I got the greatest little food processor that fits my kitchen
size just great, for 2 bucks. Our son and fiance go with us when they are
in town. We're retired and this is our summer saturday morning activity.
We travel with our van camper and yard sale in a lot of different places.

A relative's wife about 15 years ago, I know, was making about $600 a month
on going to yard sales, cleaning up and fixing up stuff and selling them
wherever. The thing is, she liked doing it. She was kind of an
artsy-craftsy person.

We always see a couple of guys in our area that do that. They go for

Good for them. I don't have the knack to see past the games
with missing pieces, stuff like that. I'm happy that someone
can make a living taking unwanted stuff and give it a fresh start,
so to speak. It seems like a fun hobby for a lot of people.

This is only the second time I've heard the term "clothes horse."

Many years ago I briefly dated a chick that referred to herself that
way. She had clothes with the tags still on them packed in her living
room end tables. About half of her kitchen cabinets had clothes in
them. She had a few loose screws so the fling never went anywhere.

So do you know what the origin of that term is? I could never figure
it out.

My mother was definitely not like that. :-) She loved beautiful clothing
of top quality and had a huge collection of such. She wore all of it.
This extended to handbags, shoes, jewelry, and accessories. She always
dressed well but was never overdressed. I never saw her leaving the house
without being properly dressed. In fact, I rarely saw her inside the house
without being properly dressed. She truly enjoyed looking nice.

> So do you know what the origin of that term is? I could never figure
> it out.

In the early 19th century, "clothes horses" were wooden racks used for
drying or airing out clothes. The jocular use of "clothes horse" to
describe a person who seems to "live to display clothes" was a natural
extension of the phrase, and first appeared around 1850.

It's the thrill that people love. Louise has a very good job but
still loves the "thrill of the hunt." We took last summer off and
did some short road trips through Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
During December I was going crazy shipping the stuff we sold on ebay.
It paid for all our traveling and we got lots of things we kept,
including loads of cookbooks. We found a box sale and spent 20 bucks.
We're still selling some things, but have probably made 500 bucks on
that sale alone.

Sorry Wayne. I wasn't implying she was. I could have worded my

This girl "needed" to look nice. I figured out she was bulimic so the
rest of the obsessions made sense.

Oh, I didn't think you were. I was only pointing out the different
motivation. My mother was a fashion model in Hollywood in the late 1930s-
early 1940s. She was approached numerous times by studio folks, but wasn't
interested in being in film. She simply loved to dress well all the time.

BTW, they still sell those wooden racks. They also make them in metal

There is a huge yard sale in August on, I think, highway 27 starting in
Kentucky and going south for more than 400 miles. I don't think I'd have
the stamina to do that one very far. We, locally have one here in Ontario
on 3, Talbot Trail, that we went to last year. It's about 80 miles from
where it starts to the finish. We did most of it because the stops were
fairly far apart. We ended up with a late lunch in a lakeside town. Son
and Fiance and her oldest went with us that time. We don't buy that much,
but it's fun. We got most of our small appliances for our campers from sales
like that. And, spending time with our family in shared interests is
good..... .....Sharon

I learned not to date women who buy Listerine by the gallon, and keep
a jug in the shower and another next to the toilet.

Oh, pshaw, toaster ovens are designed to go bad very quickly (mostly

burned stuff used to be but isn't anymore), in which case you just
toss them in the garbage and go get another.
