We are FUNdraising for playground equipment!<br \/>We spent most of the day sorting thru other people&#8217;s STUFF.  Maybe because of how we grew up&#8230; accepting hand me downs and going to garage sales, I have a very strong AVERSION to other people&#8217;s stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing against you folk that go out at 6:30 am and are the &#8220;early birds&#8221;  that yard sale people dislike&#8230; please don&#8217;t take offense.  You keep a whole group of folks delighted.  I am just saying it isn&#8217;t for me.  Touching the stuff, first of all, creeps me out.  I feel the need to bathe in scalding water after the fact. <\/p>\n<p> I think what had me distrubed the most the is the CRAP people bring in.  If you are having your OWN garage sale.. it is your business.  We are a charity&#8230; trying to RAISE money&#8230; so the fact that people sent stuff homeless people would be offend to receive &#8230; that we have to PAY to dump was highly upsetting to me.<\/p>\n<p>Top 3 weird stuff that was donated:<br \/>1.  handmade dolly thingys<br \/>2. a dishwasher rack&#8230;<br \/>3.  a USED TOLIET BRUSH!!!<\/p>\n<p>OK  Is that weird or what???  Why not bring your crap in a bag and sell for 25 cents?<br \/>The other funny thing was that in the pile of stuff&#8230; this family brings in this housewarming present WE had given them!<br \/>Guess we know what they thought of it!<\/p>\n<p>God, I pray that you bless our efforts and bring in a huge  number of garage sale folks this weekend to the school.<br \/>May they find treasures in the midst of all the STUFF.  May I find a Zantax pill to help me thru the day.  Amen.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to donate FUNds  feel free to contact me!<br \/>Happy Victoria Day Weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rhema Christian School is having a HUGE indoor garage sale this weekend.
