My friend is making me go yard saling with her in the morning.
I'd rather have a root canal without anesthesia.

Dear God.

6. The weapon known as guilt. Very effective. Doesn't leave a mark.

3. At first I read that as "yard sailing"
and I kind of wondered how that was done -- like you swoop across people's yards holding up a bedsheet as a sail, or something. This might actually be more interesting than yard saling.

8. Having your spleen ripped out by a demon would be more interesting that yard saling.

That blows my mind.

13. When she shows up, you should be standing there with a bedsheet sail hanging from a mast
and tell her you are all excited about going yard sailing, and is it going to be windy enough?

11. Tell her something came up and you have to do a beat down
Seriously, I'm at that point now.....

Ack, my mother (who I love dearly) used to drag me to yard sales all the time and now I can't stand the sight of a yard sale sign. :puke:

16. Cool..... so does your friend have a plan as to which yards
to sell or do you just stop at random houses and try and sell their yards?

18. I found some nice stuff at yard sales but most of the stuff is junk.
I did buy some really nice glass mugs for 25 cents a piece, we use them all the time.

It is like a treasure hunt.
