Babs... I'm glad you are feeling a bit better. At least I see a post.

I love bartering but seems like people don't do it much anymore. I can never seem to find a good "barter" where I come out even. LOL.

I like Craig's List too...........

I've been working on my little "project" for a few hours. Boy, I poop out a whole lot sooner than I used to. I could work on a project all day long... now my arthritic hands freeze up and my back hurts and.........wah wah wah............heheeee

Typing a little bit loosens my hands some so I've done that now I think I'll go watch some TV.

OT/My pink fishing pole, and other Sunday ramblings

Chaz bought me a pink fishing pole the other day at the Bass Pro Shop

in San . We were going to go out fishing in the boat today at

Canyon Lake, but he has another one of his headaches (not sure what's

causing them, we think he needs an MRI and he has no health insurance)

so instead I'm sitting here at the desk playing around on the internet.

Just as well, because we forgot that I don't have a fishing license

and I'm such a namby-pamby that I won't risk being caught and fined.

No cashola for the dang thing anyway....sucks being poor.

Do any of you barter? Just asking, 'cuz that's how my Chaz got his

boat. There's a well-to-do builder that he works for, and Chaz just

asked "would you buy this boat for me in exhange for underground

utility work" and the man said Yes! Done deal. The Chaz loves his

boat, and the builder gets his works done and charges the customer

more than the asking price of the boat. So really, the only one out

anything here is the poor homeowner, and they are VERY wealthy and can

well afford the overage, and of course they get their underground

utilities put in. That's me justifying the whole deal....

We did some other bartering recently too, and I got some lovely

jewelry out of the transaction. Just seems a neat way to me to rid

oneself of stuff not being used, and gain something you need. Well, I

didn't NEED the jewelry.....LOL!

We also planted some veggie plants today. We do our gardening in

containers to make it easier on me. We planted squash, tomatoes,

jalapenos and hmmmmm....forgot what else. Now that there's a Home

Depot only 4 miles away we should be able to keep a very lovely

container garden. My one rose bush that I planted is doing

spectacularly well, and one more is on the way. I'm going to

eventually plant them in half-barrels. Trying to dig holes in this

Hill Country rock is next to impossible.

Chaz just came in and said No Fishing today. His head still hurts.

Gives me time to get my license and be legal.

The next thing we may barter for is a motor home. That's the only way

to go camping, in my opinion. Well, other than a Holiday Inn....LOL!

Oh, this all reminds me of the biggest barter we ever did. When Chaz

was 35, he got food poisoning, which caused a UTI, which in turn

caused peridcarditis, and he had a mild heart attack. We got him to

the hospital in time and there was very minimal damage done. The real

damage was to our finances, because at that time (again) we weren't

insured. The cardiologist had just bought a house and needed lots of

electrical work, so Chaz performed $4k worth of work on his house in

exchange for all of the doctor bills! We still owed the hospital $4k,

but were able to pay them off slowly.

So, we love to barter. We check Craigslist every day for things, which

is how I got my jewelry.

Ummmm, I gotta go now. Craigslist is calling my name......

Hope each and every one of you is enjoying a lovely Sunday.

YAY for Spring!!!!

Irene...a barter is when you trade something of worth that you have to someone who has something of worth that you want....You both get something. It's like a "trade", just an older term. Country people used to barter a lot because no one had much money. Maybe a pie for a screen door to be fixed or something like that.

Does that help?
