but what about other items like gently used clothes, etc. ??
I just want to know if it is worth it to sell used items right now.
Has anyone sold other than NWT items in December ??

Six-Legged Turkey
An industrious turkey farmer was always experimenting with
breeding to perfect a better turkey.
His family was fond of the leg portion for dinner and there
were never enough legs for everyone. After many frustrating
attempts, the farmer was relating the results of his efforts
to his friends at the general store get together. "Well I
finally did it! I bred
a turkey that has 6 legs!"
They all asked the farmer how it tasted.
"I Don't know" said the farmer. "I never could catch the
darn thing!"
Posted Nov-17-06 07:32:36 PST This will make you smile
A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather that
morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily
trek to the elementary school. As the afternoon progressed, the winds
whipped up, along with thunder and lightning.
The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be
frightened as she walked home from school and she herself feared that
the electrical storm might harm her child. Following the roar of
thunder, lightning, like a flaming sword, would cut through the sky.
Full of concern, the mother quickly got into her car and drove along the
route to her child's school. As she did so, she saw her little girl
walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop,
look up and smile. Another and another were to follow quickly and with
each the little girl would look at the streak of light and smile.
When the mother's car drew up beside the child she lowered the window
and called to her, "What are you doing? Why do you keep stopping?"
The child answered, " I am trying to look pretty. God keeps taking my
picture."
May God bless you today as you face the storms that come your way.

PURPLE HATS
In honor of women's history month and in memory of Erma Bombeck who lost her fight with cancer. Here is an "angel" sent to watch over you. Pass this on to five women that you want watched over. If you don't know five women to pass this on to, one will do just fine.
IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
(written after she found out she was dying from cancer).
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would have made my husband share more of the responsibility I carried.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.
I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner." There would have been more "I love you's" More "I'm sorry's."
But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it .. live it and never give it back.
STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!!
Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what
Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us
Let's think about what we have been blessed with, and what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally. I hope you have a blessed day.
If you don't mind, send this on to all the women you are grateful to have as friends Maybe we should all grab that purple hat earlier. Please send this to five phenomenal women today in celebration of Beautiful Women's Month. If you do, something good will happen--you will boost another woman's self esteem.
Sent with love.

I am only as strong as the caffeine I drink, the hair spray I use and the girlfriends I have.
Here's to you! Why do we only have parties for each other when one of us gets married, pregnant, has a birthday, or retires?
 What would most of us do without our sisters, confidants, and shopping, lunching and traveling girlfriends? Let's celebrate each other for each other's sake!
Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be smarter..
Their house will be bigger.
They will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school.
And their husband will fix more things around the house.
So let it go, Be Happy!
And love yourself and your circumstances.
Think about it.
The prettiest woman in the world can have trouble in her heart.
And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children.
And the richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes....might be lonely.
And the Word says if "I have not Love, I have nothing."
So, again, love you.
Love who you are.
Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say
"I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed!"
I like that!
"Winners make things happen.
Losers let things happen"
Be Blessed ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman.
"To the world you might be one person,
But to one person you just might be the world".
SEND THIS TO YOUR FAVORITE WOMEN - I JUST DID!
HERE'S TO YOU MY FRIENDS Posted Nov-01-06 06:19:18 PST Ethereal Whipped-cream Biscuits
These diminutive biscuits are made not with butter, but with heavy cream, which is lightly beaten -- a little secret that makes the biscuits so fluffy and tender, they practically levitate.
1 cup flour
1 cup cake flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups cold heavy cream
Step 1
Heat the oven to 400° and get out a large, light-colored baking sheet. Test Kitchen Tip: Don't use a dark or nonstick sheet, or the biscuit bottoms will burn.
Step 2
Sift the flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream in a medium-size bowl until it thickens, but not enough to hold soft peaks. Make a well in the dry ingredients, then pour in the cream. With a wooden spoon, stir briskly just until the dough coheres.
Step 3
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. With floured hands, knead the dough 3 or 4 times, then pat 3/4 to 1 inch thick.
Step 4
Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut the dough into rounds and transfer them to the baking sheet, leaving room between them. Gather the dough scraps and cut them into rounds as well.
Step 5
Bake the biscuits until light golden brown, about 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer the biscuits to a cloth-lined basket and serve as soon as possible. Makes about 12 to 14 biscuits. Posted Nov-01-06 05:25:12 PST Updated Nov-01-06 05:26:06 PST Cranberry Nut Snack Mix
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 cups sunflower seeds, raw
1 cup pine nuts
1 cup pumpkin seeds, raw
1 cup cranberries, dried and sweetened
1 cup raisins
Step 1

Step 2
Transfer some to a festive bowl to serve as an appetizer. Makes 6 cups.
