One Down, One To Go, Two For Tomorrow, and a What The Hell

I helped work the garage sale for the MIL’s house today. This is the garage sale, Day 1, that comes after the Estate Sale. Sold just as much stuff today as the pros did a couple weeks ago.

Very tired. Spent the whole day outside selling off stuff actually in the garage, while others were selling stuff from inside the house.

Time to find something to eat, then I have to go and do the first part of my weekend cleaning job.

Then tomorrow it’s garage sale, Day 2, then go down the street and around the corner to do part 2 of my weekend cleaning job.

Some day this will all be done; the estate settled, the house contents sold off, the house brought to market and sold ...  some day. Hey, it’s only been a year so far, what am I complaining about?

Holy Cow this woman had tons and tons of stuff. She may not have been an official hoarder, but you’d need to be a Democrat to see the penumbra of nuance between her and one of them. Tons and tons of stuff. OMG.




Oh, and BTW ... some of the sales money came to us today in the form of the “new” “golden dollar” dollar coins. I knew of their existence, and I’d heard the stories about how billions of them were hidden away in some massive vault underground somewhere, but I’d never actually seen any. And you know what? I had a really, really hard time accepting that they were actually money. These thing SUCK. For starters, no two of the coins seem to be the same, as there are at least half a dozen different figure’s faces on the coins. And it’s not just Presidents on the coin faces, it’s their wives as well. Say what? Yup, to date there are FIFTY SIX varieties of this new coin that gets nearly no use. So how are you going to spot the fake ones? Next, the coins do not have a date on them that you can find easily. Next, the coin is almost exactly the size, thickness, and weight of a quarter. It is very hard to tell which is which without looking. But most upsetting: the coins are made like crap. Seriously. The plating was worn partially worn off of every single one, leaving them looking nearly rusty. They were all chipped up. They just plain looked cheap: I’ve seen better quality tokens at the video game alley. If I were a Turd World citizen of Bungholia I would be embarrassed if my country told me this was our coinage. This is garbage “money”, a true insult to American coinage. FAIL. FAIL, FAIL, FAIL, FAIL, FAIL.

And how many billion got wasted on that project?

Does this look like American money to you?
LOO ZER

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
