@Wildfire: Good Morning. <3
I woke up with a cold. :T Hopefully it'll lessen by the end of today.

@Another Movie Addict: That's a comfortable discount. Encouraging enough to use it, but not enough to make you spend your whole paycheck on stuff.
when I worked in a hippy shop, I had a 50% off discount, so my paycheck would disappear pretty quickly. e.e"

@CooperationIsKey: I do recommend the 5-gallon buckets with good soil. I'm doing that with zucchini. My yard is overgrown and the previous owners did a fabulous job of maintaining the yard, however, once they stopped, everything overgrew. So I'm dealing with a massive garden with no experience.
There are flowers, vines, trees, walking paths, and ponds.. =O
I began my own garden this year in buckets and I've been putting them around the yard trying to figure out where I want to uproot and re-do areas.
I feel the pain of needing to tear up a garden area.

@Another Movie Addict: That's fair, I suppose. I ran a consignment shop, and there was a rule in place that was similar- but not quite so intense. We could buy it after 3 days, but the item had to be prominently displayed for customers. And we had to pay full price, so the consigner got their money and she shop made a profit. Otherwise, old items were sold to employees for a discount, but not a great one.

@Another Movie Addict: lol! oh gosh! people can be so horrible when it comes to prices. D: Hardback in new condition is worth half the price of the original tag.
OMG. I can't imagine not being able to buy a new item in the shop on my own time. D: That bums me out that goodwill implemented that for their employees.

@Wildfire: I wish it was nice out here today. It's overcast today, I could really use some sunshine, so I hope it clears up soon.


@CooperationIsKey: My newest hobby is gardening. We bought a house in 2020, and the yard is beautiful, but there's only one fruit-bearing tree. I'm a food-plant person.
We're growing peppers inside. OTL but I have to transfer them outside, which will most likely kill them. T^T I've worked so hard on my indoor greenhouse and now I've learned that they won't be fruit-bearing if they aren't outside. XD The flowers are about to bloom on them and they need to be pollinated. XD [I'm new to this and didn't realize this would be a problem lol!]

@Another Movie Addict: I found it right as the goodwill bookstore was being advertised online. c: So I feel super lucky I snagged it.
I just don't look for books at goodwill anymore, even the ones at the stores are priced a little too high for my comfort.
But, I'm also comparing their prices to our other local thrift shops that sell books for quarters and at most $3. [aside from the rare valuable book]


I wish I knew more about comic books. o3o XD I grew up with Archie comics, not Marvel or DC. Wasn't until I was a teenager that I found out there were multiple universes and awesome craziness that I missed out on.

@Another Movie Addict: I wouldn't take home valuable books in your situation either. I lived with my husband's family for a bit and they smoke inside, it took a long time to get the smell out of my belongings later. :T
My old 1800 books have a hint of a cigar to them on some pages, it's amazing how long a smell can hold on paper.
My signed books are children's books. I love Patricia Polacco. So I have 2 or 3 signed by her. and I went to a goodwill a few years ago and found a signed Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, very bad day.
I don't have very many signed books. :d But I love them very much.
@Wildfire: Thank you. I hope your day gets better. My daughter is really interesting. Her toddlerhood was so challenging and now she's an intelligent and stubborn child.

@Wildfire: My daughter is stubborn and thinks being "married" means two people get together to have a baby. lol! so we had to go over that for a bit too. e.e
I feel like if I blink, today will be gone. XD So I'm probably going to disappear earlier than usual to get the bedrooms moved around. We got it started, but the kids messed up some of the progress. I try and stay off my phone. but I'm helplessly addicted to TikTok. OTL It's my only weakness right now.



@Another Movie Addict: Valuable books make me drool! <3 I wish I had money to drop on special edition books. I got a small collection of signed books, and a few late 1800s books for travelers coming to America. I love briefing over those occasionally to remember what life Was then.

@CooperationIsKey: Oh hey, Welcome to the site. I basically live in this thread every morning. <3 It was pretty easy to navigate Voltra which definitely kept me around. I love this site.
It's super quiet in my house and around my house today. I live somewhat near a fairgrounds and they've been doing construction. It's been fun seeing their progress as I'm new to the neighborhood. So everything around here is still new and exciting. :3
Construction zones right outside of my window would drive me crazy. XD If I got a new driveway out of it, I would cry with joy. lmao.
I am doing good today. I got my coffee, I got chores on my mind, and overall, just good.

@Wildfire: yessum, I am doing pretty well this morning so far. I'm losing track of time faster than usual though. My kids decided to ask me questions that deserve long explanations. So we spent 30 minutes just now talking about wolf packs and how alphas and omegas work.

@CooperationIsKey: How are you today? :3
@Wildfire: I understand that 'off' feeling for today. lol. I woke up in the middle of the night and just stayed away for a bit. Then when I did wake up this morning, due to the overcast weather, I really thought I slept in until 9 or 10. Turns out it was only 7. XD

@Wildfire: I'm okay, just getting the coffee going. Trying to amp up to do chores.
How are you?

Hello Good morning. :3

@Wildfire: Aside from my odd morning, I am keeping myself sane. I feel a bit off, but it's not too bad.
Oh Second upstairs roomie just got back from being away for a month. =O huh.
I'd be feeling similar to you now with the truck. I suppose I'd cave and sell it for scrap after having scams and stuff.

@Wildfire: I got no idea why I can't see the images anymore. :T
It's probably more likely, it's my computer for some reason.
omgod, I do hope you can sell that truck soon.

Today is just an odd way to start the week. My friends broke up last night, so I woke up to messages this morning. I went to pick up a dead spider and it started moving in my hand.. -shudders- I wasn't expecting. I screamed.
Last week of school for kiddos, so I'm burning out even though it's sO close to the end!!!!

oh my gosh ! so close! *o*
