Scored a dozen colored pens for a buck, at you know where. Come and git 'em.

I’m out of tissues, does anyone have a source for some good ones that don’t disintegrate after the first sneeze?

Thanks, **Annie** , that was perfect!

Costco has excellent tissues and I always have spares. You’re welcome to them.

I’m in a Bloody Mary kind of mood, but I’m low on vodka. Can anyone hook a sister up?

We have a brand new bottle of Grey Goose.

I really need an onion for tomorrow night’s dinner.

You can have one of my last REAL Vidalias. They’re not those fakes at the market.

I can’t believe I’m out of dental floss. Well, I DID slice a few cheesecakes over the holidays. Help! No mint, unwaxed. D’uh.

I have half of a chuck roast with veggies left from tonight’s dinner. Very tender.

I could use a couple of slices of cheesecake.

I have a vegan cheesecake in my freezer for my lactose intolerant son, but I can’t imagine anyone would actually want it.

I am seriously craving pineapple.

I bought 3 on sale, 99cents apiece. Sweet! Not ripe enough to slice yet, wait 'til the weekend.

Need some bait for my mouse sticky traps. Who’s got some M&M’s?

I’ve got a few bags.

Grey Goose? Ain’t that fancy! Gracias.

Ooooh, I have some left over from breakfast out. They have your name on it.

Now, I need some stone ground mustard for sandwiches. Help.

Well, I have half a squeeze bottle of store-brand yellow that I saved after dropping the glass jar on a stone half-buried in the ground. Is that close enough?

After quitting smoking in the eighties I’ve decided to try those e-cigs I see people smoking. Does anyone have a spare?

Here you go. Apparently smoking even e-cigs when you only have one working lung is not a good idea.

Anyone have To Kill A Mockingbird in a foreign language?

My daughter has it in French, s’il vous plaît.  
We’ve run out of small kitchen trash bags.

Grey or purple? I need a bicycle pump.

I have you covered. Also, choice of stems, depending on the valve on the tire 🙂

I need one scoop of yummy protein powder for my protein coffee tomorrow morning. Something that mixes well with coffee.

have a mostly used container & an unopened one. You can have the open one - powder, container & scoop.

I don’t know where my shoe trees are; got new Weejuns that need to be stretched.

Giving up on your Neanderthal kick already? I told you the third month of only wearing loincloths was going to be the most difficult but once you got through you’d last. So no I am not going to let you relapse when you are oh-so-close by giving you mine. By the way, can I borrow a USB printer cable?

Here, have mine; you can keep it, my printer is dead anyway. By the way, I’d like to cook some falafel for dinner, but I’m out of chickpeas. Anyone have some canned?

Sure, we have chickpeas, garbanzo beans, black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, chili beans, yellow beans, and almost every other bean that exists but the kids won’t eat any of them. Take your pick. By the way, could you watch the little terrors, I mean scamps, while I run away, I mean to the store for an hour or two?

Sure, if I can bring my 150 pound pitbull with me.

Does anyone have a leash and muzzle?

For the dog or the kids? I got both.  
Can I borrow your phone? Mine just got flushed.
