Craigslist Adventures

Before I get into my Craigslist adventures, I wanted to let you all know that Joe is home from the hospital and doing well. He's a little tired after going through such trauma, but he's ALIVE and his body is working, so we are very grateful. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Now to Craigslist.... I'm a Craigslist addict. I check it everyday. Sometimes you win some and sometimes you lose some. I had one of each of those last week before Joe got sick.

High: I found a Nutrimill electric grain mill aka wheat grinder for $90. They are about $270 new, and it had only been used a few months. If you read my wheat grinding woes post, you can see why this is a major HIGH for me.

Low: I went to look at a hutch for our dining area. When I rang the doorbell, the guy answered the door in his tighty whitey underwear. SICK!!! I saw the hutch from the door, told him it wasn't going to fit, and laughed all the way to the car.

Those tighty whitey undies would have been on my HIGH list!

so glad to hear Joe is doing better. What a crazy thing to go through.. and yeah! to the new wheat grinder!

I love Craigslist too and I am in the process of selling all our junk so we can move and buy more junk!

Ok, that is hilarious! You're braver than I am.

That is pretty funny, mostly cause it happened to someone as sweet as you. :-)

Yay to Nutimill, and boo to the brief guy.

Craig's list is huge here not only because it is populated, but also because nobody has any space to store extra junk. I love it.

I am glad that Joe is ok, that sounds very scary.

I never think to check Craigs List. I should more often. Sounds like a good find.
