[QUOTE="klmno, post: 371734, member: 3699"] Thanks everyone! OK, I won't do food but since I'm too sore and tired to carry in all the stuff tonight, I might as well go ahead and let it carry over until tomorrow. (I only had 2 1/2 hours sleep last night.) I might not sell anything but frankly, I have nothing to lose since there isn't much else I can get accomplished on Sundays. I think it will be slow so I will take that time to pull out more from closets, shed, etc, and get it priced and organized then pull it back into the back room (difficult child's previous game room) and implement a better plan for next weekend. During this upcoming week, I will be busy with VA, PO, looking for a job, and trying to sell bigger things by appointment. only. I can stop by neighbors' houses early this week and see if they'd like to set a table up or two next weekend. Once I get some this stuff out of the way, I will advertise this as a moving sell, put the dogs in the back room, and let people walk thru the main portion of the house to view larger items and furniture. I might reconsider incorporating a cookout at that point if neighbors are involved in this, too. I wouldn't cookout/buy food that difficult child and I won't eat over the next few days if it didn't sell. He'll eat those pastries that I bought for this morning. I just wouldn't have done it if I thought no one wanted them. But I can re-evaluate that in a couple of weeks. Keep the suggestions coming- I'm reading thru them all and incorporating them the best I can! LDM, I had to chuckle at you- apparently that is what difficult child's father did until he was turning over enough to open a business as well. I KNOW you are not the type of person he is, but in his case, his advertisement is how I found enough info on him to give something substantial to DSS so if they actually make a real effort to go after child support, they should be able to get something. BUt I can't blame either of you- I am thinking more and more that if I can get out of crisis mode for a little while, I might start pursuing a few different avenues to see if I can get some sort of business off the ground. I think I would love it even if it ends up being twice as much work as working for someone else on salary and having more money and benefits. And as we all know, there is a LOT to be said for being happy and having a little satisfaction in our lives. [/QUOTE]
