Overpriced Yard sales and garage sales

I live near Niles, Ohio and this weekend that just passed the city had a town wide yard sale going on for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Having not been to a yard sale in years and on a tighter budget at the moment I thought I'd check it out.

After going to this community yard sale and garage event I'm just blown away at how much people are charging for used second hand items. A few years back I remember yard sale prices for clothing being 10¢,25¢,and 50¢. I saw a pair of little boys size 6/7 used bike sweatpants at one yard sale for $8. I can't even believe this, mind you they are cheaper brand new on Amazon. I'm literally at a loss for words over all these people trying to make a huge profit off of something that could greatly help those that really need it and can't afford to pay retail prices. 

Craigslist scams NEW SCAM 8/20/17

Ok so I have an ad posted on Craigslist for transporting locals around that need a ride to make a few bucks since I lost my job. Anyways when you make a Craigslist post it asks if you want others with jobs to be able to contact you, and of course I picked yes because I'm actively looking for work. Well I get this text message from a man :

I FOUND THIS HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS SO I GOOGLED THE ADDRESS AFTER RECEIVING THIS EMAIL FROM "TRAVIS" 

And after googling the street address I discovered it's for sale and not for rent. I contacted the realtor. They are trying to scam people for money for homes that aren't for rent at all. Be very careful everyone. 

The comedy of making a password

Sometimes you can't help but laugh at the craziness of online activities such as the once simple task of creating a password for login purposes. This seriously sums it up sometimes. Hope you enjoy, we all need to laugh at life sometimes. 

Gardening - a helping hand - 8/20/17

Our ghost peppers, jalapeño peppers, and tomatoes from our front garden. Still tons left to harvest. The ghost peppers are hot asf. Devon my 7 yr old ate an entire ghost pepper. I took one bite and my oldest took one bite and 20 minutes later our mouths, throats, and tounges are still on fire. Devon loves hot and spicy foods. He goes mom can I have another. I said dude your crazy leave them so I can make salsa with them. I literally watched him eat the whole thing... I'm still shocked. Oh and our pumpkins and watermelons are done too. I'll let the kids eat some of these then I make homemade tomato sauce for our spegetti and salsa then pick the watermelons tomorrow. I'll probably end up giving some to the neighbors like last year. There's ten watermelons out there. There were 12 but a neighbor helped themselves to two of them. Oh well if they need food they can have it. Almost all of my neighbors have kids and I am a strong believer in all kids deserve to eat no matter what... But if you're my neighbor and see this please be sure to leave me 2-3 watermelons please - have four kiddos here myself. And please leave all the pumpkins. We are going to make homemade pumpkin pies and roast some pumpkin seeds in the oven and make Jack o lanterns with them. These are fifth generation pumpkins free of chemicals and grown from seeds of them from the prior five years, yr after yr. I'll be giving away pumpkin pies in a couple weeks also. I've donated at least 20 pounds of tomatoes to my neighbors also. Glad to be able to help everyone eat healthy and have some food. Produce is so expensive anymore it's unreal. Have a great night everyone and thanks for reading this long post.
