Cyber-Garage Sale

I want to start trying to sell some of the things we want to get rid of before The Move.
Does anyone know of a webpage where I can basically just post pictures, prices, and descriptions of things that I am selling?

It wouldn't be like Craig's List. More like a page that I can refer people to and it will always have the pics of whats for sale on it.

Also, any ideas of sites besides Craig's List and E-bay where I can sell things? Preferably local and no charge.

Let me know if you know of anything!

Thanks!

yahoo, gmail, and hotmail are starting to get boring

I found a really easy way to get your e-mail on mlb.com but I am not allowed to. It wont be .....@mlb.com, Itll be on a team but you get it at http://www.mlb.com/.
On the top of the screen on mlb.com in the grey, it says register- login. It doesnt matter hich you choose because youll get to a screen that has where you can choose if you are registered or not. If you aren't registered put the bullet like this I don't have an MLB.com account, then fill out the required information. if you are under the age of 18 lie about your age and say that youwere born in 1968 or whatever. once youve finished filling it out and clicking submit, look on the left where it says Account on the second to last phrase it says Register for Free E-mail. Click that and youll get to your inbox.

Can't Stop...

Does anyone remember that game? I saw it with David and he had no clue what I was talking about... so i told him he was too young and called Sim who said yeah I remember that game and then described another... Somebody? Anybody!?

Which way to turn ?

Thursday I had a minor morale decision. - The story is that on Tuesday I came across an elderly very poor black lady who - without her glasses, was functionally blind and she had broken her glasses months ago. I took her old glass lenses and said it would take about 10 days and I could find a frame and it would only cost a little to fix them. It turns out the the next day Yaakov found a frame and fixed them- So now- I have the glasses 8 days earlier than promised- It is 4 pm and I am done with my work. I can either turn towards home and make it to mincha with a minyon or turn towards Detroit and deliver the glasses and miss davening with a minyon. I could daven- Just not with a minyon. Do I turn towards home or Detroit. Does doing a chesed for a goy over ride davening with a minyon?. I decided to deliver the glasses. So far 3 people have said that halachicly I was wrong. My argument to myself as I was deciding which way to turn was that we are commanded to walk in the ways of Hashem and he does chesed for goyim. What do you think . Should I have gone to detroit or to a minyon. Im not looking for emotional answers- only halacha
Signed- confused in golus

Poor Sammy

Ever since Sammy smacked his head on the streets of Meah Sha'arim, things haven't gotten any easier.

Since we got home he has had a cold, double ear infection and the stomach flu. Then the kicker, the other day Nat noticed a huge growth in his butt. she took him to teh Doctor yesterday and they said we ad to go the E.R. to have it drained and cut off.

So we headed to Beaumont at around 6:00 in the evening. After a while the docs took a look, and decided that the surgeon should take a look because he wasn't sure how the thing ( a perianal abscess) was. The surgeon took a peek and they decided that the regular doc could cut it out.

Then there was a long break from people talking to us. I think it was the first day for all these doctors. lots of confusion apparently on what they were going to do with Sammys butt. Then the doc came and told us that everyone wanted to do something different, and then they gave him a shot but t was unmarked, so he tossed it, and they had to draw a new one.

Finally, they got everyone on the same page, gave him a disassociation shot, so he was awake, but in his own world. The pharmacist told us he was "trippin" and they drained his butt.

We got home around 11:00 and now I think everything is OK, they told us to keep it dry, perhaps they are under the impression that he toilet trained. Hopefully the next few weeks will be better for the little guy.

HAPPY CHANALANUKAH!!!
props to shu for the slogan

Israel Family Chanukah Party Clarification

Hello. It was been incorrectly reported around Zacks land that Aviva and I vetoed the Israel family Chanukah party. This is not correct. We did not veto any party. Nor did we try to stop anyone from making a party on their own.

Happy Chanukah to all.
