About a month ago Hilari and I rallied the troops and had "The Best Garage Sale On Earth" -well that's what we told all our customers. We had tons of stuff and Hilari had piles and piles of boys clothes and mens clothes she snuck outa Jason side of the closet. I didn't have all that much to offer up because even though my cleaning prowess is similar to Roseanne Connors ( that was her last name on the show but we all know it should have been Barr cuz it was basically an autobiography even with weird DJ in the mix) I am pretty good at getting rid of stuff I don't need - not perfect but I say 84% good.Even though my merch ( in the biz you call merchandise 'merch') was lacking my spirit to sell was not and in a brilliant stroke of genius I decided to sell back rubs for $3 and compliments for $o.50. I even resorted to busting out a sign that said singing telegrams for $1 ( but they had to be delivered in my driveway which was not that great of a business plan) . I didn't sell one back rub or compliment though I busted out a few semi-unwanted hugs. We managed to sell a bunch of stuff and give away a few gifts with purchase - people loved that.We said our garage sale would make their minds explode and I think Hilari and I along with 8 candy/lemonade sales people managed to do just that- oh and compliments are still only $0.50 .....stock up for Christmas.

Put me down for $5 worth of compliments. My faux self-esteem is begining to ween with all this extra devz coming on.
OK ... first of all I have to say that when I first viewed the picture, it was some sort of optical illusion. I thought the gray of the table was the gray of the driveway (if you look at it in a skewed kind of way ... you just might see it too)and I couldn't figure out why you were selling those giant pink blankets.
At any rate ... after all that ... I certainly deserve a free hug.
genius, i say.
i am sorry that the economy got in the way of your new biz endeavor... clearly, this country needs a compliments company. maybe next year?
that garage sale was the best. so was my $130. hey, a few mexican guys were stoked on your hugs.
I'll also take a few commpliments! and here is a free on for you... You are the best and I love you!
Do you accept PayPal? Because my back is hurting. (No need for compliments. I get them everywhere I go ... sometimes.)
I totally would have bought a back rub! Bummer I wasn't there.
