Got a lot of experience doing that, PoppaSan. You spring for pizza though. You oughta’ do what my brother swears he’s going to do when I kick off though-just back up a dumpster. Yikes! ---

Do you have time to come along to help carry out some of the bigger stuff or at least toss the smaller stuff into packing boxes? So what’s next? I’m not sure. Is it small boxes? I have a bunch, because I ordered lots of things for Purim that came in small, which I saved, because I will be mailing some of my shlach manos. But I won’t be using them all. I can spare probably five boxes in between the size of a cigar box and a 12-pack. I need those little “box top” coupons from the tops of General Mills and related products, because my sons school is saving them for playground equipment. I have asked co-workers and neighbors without children to clip them if they think of it, so if you wouldn’t mind clipping yours too, that’d be great. ---

Didn’t realize those GM boxtops things were still around. Got a big jarful somewhere, they might be a few decades old(mom saved 'em like they were gold) You can have 'em. One thing of hers I’m sorry I trashed were her muffin tins. Those darn things made the best pointy-top muffins and cupcakes. The pans I use make them all flat-topped. Who’s got my miracle pans and is willing to part with same? ---

I got several from deep down in granny’s garage. Heavy solid suckers they are too. Take any but the mini-loaf pans. I use them to make individually flavored meatloaf; some traditional, some with cheese, some tex-mex. Kids only want original but I like a bit of spice experimentation. That way everyone gets to eat and they bake much quicker. I broke my yard rake in frustration after the latest late season snow. Can I borrow one to get the lawn cleaned before the next batch of snow? ---

I got a lawn rake and a garden rake… they are in the garage, borrow what you need. I need a home for a stray kitten… sigh… that time of year again. ---

I’ll take the kitty…can you drop it in the mail? I need doggie do bags. Too much poop, too few bags. ---

I saw some at a pet shop, but they’re kinda’ odd. The bag attaches right around Fido’s bunghole with an adhesive ring. I’ve never seen one in action though. If you want 'em, they’re yours. My favorite pizza place is closed for remodeling(I know!!!) And I’m dying’ for some with hot sausage and broccoli rabe. Who wants to take pity on me and scratch my itch? ---

Well, I’m a vegetarian, and can only eat half a large pizza. I’ll get a broccoli rabe with half sausage. Where the hell did all my K-cup coffee pods go? I need caffeine fast! ---

I got some K cups in a gift basket, but I don’t own a Keurig. I do need another box of really soft facial tissue. ---

A dear friend brought over some aloe-d tissues the last time I had the sniffles. Can’t stand the things, they seem slimy and make me sneeze a lot. Shall I hold 'em until you get here? Was gonna’ make a banana split tonight, so I bought everything for it, except, d’uh, bananas. Any of you bunch got a bunch you can spare? ---

Sure, plenty. The local gas station always sells em 39 cents/lbs. Whenever we get low either the wife or I or sometimes both will stop by and grab some. The latter happened the other day. Need to use them up before they go bad. Temperature finally got above freezing this week. Just killed the seasons first mosquito. Do you have bug repellent for when I start the campfire tonight. ---

Do you have bug repellent for when I start the campfire tonight. Of course! I’ve got Deep Woods Off, as well as my own essential oil and olive oil blend I sell to the hippies. You want the Deep Woods Off, trust me. These hippies gonna die of Lyme Disease. Can I come to sit around the campfire? I, uh, I just need to find a bottle of mead… ---

Almost out of mead. Probably need to switch over soon to grog or hooch. Just ran out of jumbo marshmallows for the 'smores. The little ones take to long to get me my sugar rush. Anyone got any? ---

I’ve got some purple canine (Halloween) spray paint. But before I give it to you, I want to know if you use it on the doves, will it make them cry? ---

I’m not really sure what you want except knowledge. But I have a computer and I can Google it for you. Does anyone have any 81/2 x 11 printer paper. I have some forms i need to download and print.
