Posh... Bogie is such a rule follower as well, thus why I was teasing him about it. I thought he was using the quote to "honor" Mr Rooney's life.

That being said... I've never seen you be mean spirited on this page and while I didn't understand your comment, I certainly didn't think you meant it in a mean way. :smiley:

The guy was stupid. Why would anyone think there was a rule about the time to open a garage sale. How in the world would a rule such as that be enforced?

Oh Boy, Here we go. Did this discussion start about garage sales and thieves.

I've always found that to be unfair to others who respect the start time and show up then. On the one time I was involved in a Saturday morning garage sale, I took great pleasure in not letting anyone in early, no matter what excuses they had. Maybe a sign out front "Early admittance allowed with a 20% premium on prices" would be in order. Just saying . . .

You are right and I agree with your thinking...........however......... Recently when we were trying to get rid of things up in Ohio during our recent rather rushed move...I was at the point of paying people to take things.

Which brings forward the question...Is it junk or is it junque?
