This and That & rebate check
Okay I know this is not original, but I like it! Where is the Rebate check by the way?
It works for me.
How to use Your IRS Rebate check...
As you may have heard, each of us will be getting a tax rebate check to stimulate the economy.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China. If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs. If we purchase a computer it will go to India. If we purchase fruits and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala. If we purchase a good car it will go to Japan. If we purchase useless stuff it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it at
yard sales, since those are the only businesses still in the US!Are yard sales strictly American? You folks that have lived or live in other countries, Are they world wide? I just love to go to yard sales, It is a lot like fishing, every time you throw your line in you NEVER know what you will get! That is how I am about yard sales. I make a list myself and shop just like I was going to the hardware store or Wal Mart. It is amazing how many times I have hit the list.
Now books, wow, Last yard sales that were productive we had about 20 books at less than 10 cents a book. Some were hard back, 2007 additions, by well known authors. I love a bargain like that.
Girls can find many up to date clothes and shoes. Oh I gotta tell this. Once in Tavares Florida, we stopped at a sale under two canopy tents, 15 x 24 each. All women’s clothes, some with the tags on them. I asked the lady how many families were involved, she said “these are mine. I need to make room for new stuff!”
WOW! Most of the stuff looked new to me. She must be one of the shopaholics I have heard about.
Thanks for coming by the LOG.

PS:
Police Comments were taken off actual police car videos around the country:
"Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."
"In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC."
. "How big were those 'two beers' you say you had?"
. "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can."
"I'm glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail."
AND THE WINNER IS....
"You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't. Sign here."
Compliments of my pastor:
(he did not say this was HIS HS reunion!)
My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion. I kept staring at a drunken woman swigging her drink, as she sat
alone at a nearby table. My wife asks, Do you know her?
Yes, I sighed. She's my old girlfriend. I understand she started drinking right after we split up those many years ago. I hear she
hasn't been sober since.
For goodness sake! says my wife.
"Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"
So you see; there really are two ways to look at everything......

my sister is in the Netherlands for two years with her husband's work; I'll have to ask her if they have yard sales there
I'm not a big shopper in general, but I do like to look at garage sales and I think I'm going to make the point of buying more there and at second hand shops rather than pay full price for things

hey jack! never saw any yard sales in germany or italy. i love them too! my girls used to come get me every saturday so we could go sailing. now they have lives so they dont have time. i buy too much junk anyway! lol still got my thrifty stores to enjoy!
if you are passing through alabama try to find a salvation army thrift store. they have lots of men's clothes. my son has gotten so many compliments on the shirts he got there recently. when someone ask where he says the thrift store! lol, thats my son! as i said before alabamians are really into keeping up with fashion. they get bored with their old stuff fast and donate it.
I am going to use my rebate to eat at a nice seafood restaurant. and maybe some new c.d's i usually just buy used ones coz i like the oldies anyway. but there are some nice worship c'd's by some new artists that i cant afford. june

Weather sucks, cold, rainy damp and 42!
A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!"
His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the Bible means?
The son replied, "I do know!"
"Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?"
"That's easy, Daddy..." the young boy replied excitedly,"
It stands for ..... "Basic Information Before Leaving Earth"
(This one is my favorite.)
