RETIRED: Target chit chat

Good idea, I couldn't find the phone book! I had to call 411. I know we had one or two, DH might have tossed it.

He gets in these clean it out modes where he just throws away tuns of stuff he thinks is junk/trash. And then boxes stuff up never to be found again. Like all our snow shoes!!!!!!!!!! I just spent $60 (well in TGC) because I can not find them and the kids need them for school in the moring it is snowing! He is out of town but swears they are in the basement but not anywhere I could find them and I looked in tuns of boxes.



thanks, I hope I am over reacting and she is fine, yeah, better safe than sorry.

OMG can you send your dh over here? My dh does NOT clean at all... he thinks cleaning is picking up his own dish lmfao..

Not sure I would consider it cleaning, I would rather have him help with the dishes, sweep, mop, laundry... He will just decide there is to much junk around and box a whole bunch of stuff up and put it somewhere.

Our girls would not clean their rooms, his solution was to go in there and put everything that was on the floor in totes and garbage bags. He said he would go through it and I told him I would help. He has never done it. And he put everything, like books, mixed up toys, clothes, broken stuff, papers, broken crayons, beads, dolls, just all of it, he actually went and got his snow shovel to do it. I think that is weird! Their rooms were clean for a long time since they had less toys and junk but they still had enough left that their rooms still get messy. We just need to toss it all!

Now we have totes and totes and bags of random crap all boxed up.

WTH! Does that sound like a suicide note?

It has only been a few months since my uncle committed suicide, this is worrying me, I am gonna look up the police and see if they can do a check on her or something...

Try selling at the flea market with people who do this. It makes no sense to me. I sell my items very cheaply and instead of trying to run in the same price range I have a woman who sends people to my sale, or comes herself (she introduced herself once) and then undercuts my prices at ridiculously lower prices. Prices that I wouldn't even be selling at all if that is all you could get for it. I think that $3 -$3.50 for a Schick refillable razor is low enough, and $4 for a large imotion is low enough and $2.50 for a bottle of Olay BW that costs $5.99 at the store is plenty low, and a bottle of John Frieda shampoo at $2 is plenty low. However, this women will price the Schick razors at $2, the large imotion at $2.50, Olay at $1.50, and the Frieda at $1.50 just to under price me.

She is just screwing herself more than me, because I refuse to stoop to that level and sell for nothing. In some of the cases of her pricing I don't even see how she can price it that low, and still make money, as her prices are what I paid after coupons practically. I don't have time during my flea market to walk around pricing her stuff or have people do it for me, but I do have customers who tell me some of her prices or I see the things in their bags and ask them.

Eventually she will sell out of her things for the unrealistic low prices and people will buy from me at my fair prices. Some people tell me they will pay my prices, because they don't like her. I don't know her, but she must have some kind of attitude or something for my customers to tell me this. The way I see it is if she can sell for nothing and make money good for her, but I can't. I still make good money without giving the store away, and I have a feeling even if she sells more volume then me, and I am not sure that is even true, she doesn't make as much as me, because she sells to cheaply. I have also heard she does not have her things neat like me, nothing is clearly priced, and things look dirty sometimes.

After all that low pricing on some things however, she really has wonky prices on other things. For instance, she asks $1.50 for the glade carpet sprinkles, which seems high to me. I sold mine for $1, but raised the price to $1.25 since she asked more. I guess I do alternative pricing, but raising my prices when she is higher. I don't like to lower prices, because I feel I am fair. Plus it isn't all about what the product costs, there is coupon costs, gas costs, car wear and tear, time and effort etc... I'm sure those that sell understand.

I don't understand why she just doesn't price things the same as me if she is so worried about it, can't she still sell to some people with the same pricing? If not she is in the wrong business. When I lower any prices to come close to her strange pricing, which is rare, my stuff flys. No way am I going to sell my Schick Hydro Razors for $2 ever. And I sell the heck out of the big imotions at $4 each, so when people say they have seen them for $2.50 from the other seller (her, others in the market aren't as crazy), I tell them to buy them for that price if they can find them, but I'm sorry I can't sell that low. What is strange is the fact that at least half these people are back at my booth buying at my prices. I guess if people want them for her prices they will have to buy when she has in stock, and maybe even a bit dirty. Maybe I am the Target of the flea market and she is the Kmart, I don't know I don't have time like she does to walk around and see, as unlike her I am very busy non-stop.

I'm sure at her silly prices her stuff goes fast, and they will soon be coming to me. My sales tell that story. It does aggravate me that I was the only one doing this regularly 3 years ago and now I have lots of competition. I do understand and don't begrudge anyone from getting the idea from me, or just starting to do it, but why on earth sell just to give the stuff away. It makes no sense for any of us sellers.

Ok official beg.. does anyone have the 20% off any one item coupon from Toys R Us... I can compehesate nicely with any other coupons... thanks!!

Bummer all my quotes are gone again! UUGH!

Well I have been trying to catch up but then I get home from Target and check facebook and a really old friend (we were roommates in college like 15 yrs ago and lost touch 15 yrs ago) posted this:

what ya need, when ya need it. All things in moderation is my sentence of the year.

Turns out I didn't need any valium. I work with the most amazing group of people. One doc in particular is the best medicine just hanging out joking with him. Felt better in no time after a few minutes bs'ing with him. I'm a fortunate person

that's because by federal law he can't talk to anyone but you unless you sign a specific consent form with your husband's name on it. it's called the HIPAA statute and applies to all protected health information - tests, conditions, diagnoses etc are all protected.

I have *lots* of extras, PM your addy and how many you need!

Saw this in HD:

Here is the link for a $8 TS3 Coupon [go.com]... no $10 coupon this time?

IIRC, next week's ad has this priced at $15.99?

I was wondering if they were even gonna have a q this time. Combo pack is supposed to be $24.99 @ T. I think the $15.99 one was just the reg. DVD.

gt, hope trip is going well if you check in again and see this!

oh tootsie, i figured out what it was - you're out of paper towels and were going to surrender your tcc card... and i - helpfully - was going to tell you to drink up and then use some dishcloths. you won't notice the difference.

:ok, seriously, i'm a bounty person. i know some people here are viva people. when out of bounty, I don't mind brawny.

here's what i do: every time there is a sale on bounty at cvs i plan a deal and get some. i work out the scenarios so the PT's are free. that way i always have a few packs on hand. generally there are bounty deals every month, but good deals every 2-3 months at cvs.
so i do them every time there is a good deal.
as a safety, i do some padding deals on cheapo PT from time to time - like when there were those insert TQs on bounty basic, i ordered the tqs and got 20 rolls. cost me about 1.25 or so for all the rolls together. that way i had those rolls on the side to use for floor spills and bathroom cleaning and such tasks. that slowed down the use of the regular bounty.
also, there is a store here that has marcal paper towels for 99c/roll. the 1/1 marcal insert q (comes out every few weeks) makes those free. i get those from time to time as a backup/side roll.
and similarly, walgreens has a paper towel roll. can't remember off hand what it is called. but when they go on sale (every few weeks) it is 59c a roll. so i do wags deals that are free after RR or MM and throw in the rolls as fillers. they're about the same quality as bounty basic. works well as a backup roll.

Evening all.

Got me some paper towels today. Wasn't out but wasn't stocked either. Nothing found worth mentioning though. Can't believe it's glade time again.

Thanks Cate!!


Oh and I had to buy TP and PT..

American Honey. Yum. That's all I got to say about tha-ut.

Didn't even think of that correlation. My name is more of a tribute to my family history. Some of my favorite relatives have the last name Casper. (i.e. The Ghost)

You and me would be BFF's in real life I think.



I'm glad to hear this. You have so much going on in your life right now.

I lived on Xanax when I went through my divorce and it was probably since I had no support system whatsoever. Come to think of it, I drank a lot, too. Then again, I drank a lot in college but had no problems whatsoever.



Yes, I've heard of HIPPA. I meant that he won't even tell dh what he needs or what it pertains to and my other doctors don't have a problem doing that. I think oncologists are maybe more careful in that regard than other doctors.



Nik - I don't think you're overreacting at all. My brother (I think I already mentioned) killed himself in March, no note, no good bye, no nothing. Just left for work and never came home. Had I had one chance to know it had reached that point he would be alive today, taking my kids trick-or-treating like he always did. Instead, they just placed his headstone. She may not have meant it as serious but people need to realize that it's not a game. You usually only get one chance to reach out to someone and if you miss it, you have to live with that forever. And that's nothing to joke around about. :

Hi all I am sooooooooo sleepy but need to stay up to do lots of homework... when does this ever end? I have to finish a late project tonight and then start on my case study that is due on Monday... then onto my other paper due on Monday...wth!?! I can't wait for this semester to be done!!
