Two Thimbles And A Pair Of Doll Shoes (Issue 116)

By Freedom Lady | November 3, 2008

As I mentioned in a previous article, I decided to have a rummage sale. I have a great deal of inventory left over from my shops, e-bay selling and stuff I’ve collected over the years.  I’ve spent 10 days dragging stuff out, sorting, pricing and displaying in two rooms. Plus, I still have a garage and storage room separate from my house stacked up with boxes.
 
I have lots of linens, new and vintage, stacks of dishes, about 1,000 books, artworks, new and vintage clothes, toys and a variety of stuff. I priced it reasonably, way below what it costs or is worth because I could use the money and I need the space.
 
I decided to run the sale for three days and spent nearly $100 for an ad, signs, pricing labels, and a lady to help me, among other things.
 
Here’s what I sold the first day: two vintage thimbles and a pair of Madame Alexander doll shoes for $1 each. Can you imagine how much room that created for me only clearing out two thimbles and a pair of doll shoes?

Political Jokes, Quotes, News And Jay Leno (Issue 115)

By Freedom Lady | November 2, 2008

For those who read my blogs and read my life’s journey, you know when I purchased a computer I didn’t know how to turn it on and didn’t know what a mouse, hard-drive and monitor was. I still wrestle with it and type with two fingers. I don’t venture far from my e-mail because I’m afraid I might not be able to get back to it. 

However, I have discovered a few exciting things and one is a website by Heritage Foundation. They e-mail wonderful liberty quotes that I sometimes use in my articles. I clicked on the site last night and discovered they will send pocket size editions of The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution for free to anyone who requests them. They stated they have sent out 500,000 copies this year. That’s exciting news to me to hear that many are interested in reading those documents.
 
Actually, I have had days lately that I’ve felt so sad over the downward spiral of our freedom in this country, and woke up this morning thinking I should write some funny political stuff. I grew up in the Depression years and have heard a lot of talk about politics. Since then, I’ve heard more and read a lot, so what I’m going to write I really do not recall who said it or where I heard it. But here are some political jokes . . .
