Rather than price items separately, she charged a “flat fee” to get in (she had a fenced back-yard, which made it easy), and folks could take whatever they could carry out in one trip. She made several hundred dollars on the day – and better yet, got rid of all the junk she didn’t want to move.Java Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03262932524822014846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-62828781360569315132013-06-28T13:20:51.019-05:002013-06-28T13:20:51.019-05:00Good afternoon, Lemon, CC, et al., A DNF for the f...Good afternoon, Lemon, CC, et al., A DNF for the first in a while.LEM<br />LOLd at your 29-30 comments. cute.

WEES. ...Hello, hello, LemonADE and OTROS puzzlers.<br /><br />WEES. Yowza! What a clever puzzle from Victor Barocas, difficult yet doable. <br /><br />WMS. What Misty said. Seeing that it was a referenced puzzle, I did all the obvious fill first (not that many) then concentrated on completing the theme answers. At first I wasn't sure what JANE AUSTEN (I love her writing)had to do with the theme, so thank you Mr. Lemon for that.<br /><br />I love misdirection in a puzzle and this satisfied me with round trip, ORBIT, pointed at the dinner table, TINES and OTROS.<br /><br />Sadly, I initially wrote OTROS and never went back to review it, so a DNF for me. Drat. Drat. Drat.<br /><br />GarlicGal:<br />Darryl was very impressive last night, both in looks and intelligence. What a stunner at the end. Did anyone else here know the answer? It surprised me.<br /><br />Have a fruitful Friday, everyone!
