Yikes Kathy! That's awful! I hope all the insurance wrangling goes ok.

Good grief, such news. I will keep my fingers crossed for only tiny dribbles of water in Maria's restaurant, and for a shiny new car that lasts 10 years paid for by someone else's insurance for Kathy.
And a question for the hivemind: is a yard/moving sale worth the hassle? Bear in mind I am cheap and like money.
It is actually dawning on mr. flea that he is moving to Ohio in less than 48 hours. Finally.

Glad you are ok, Kathy. Scary and sucky.
CJ didn't get to go up in one of the Life Flight helicopter. None of the probies did. He did learn that Life Flight can handle larger patients than Flight for Life.

is a yard/moving sale worth the hassle?
It can be as long as you advertise it well. Fliers everywhere, and a classified ad for the career garage-salers who will be there bright and early. Make sure it's the good stuff, priced really reasonably, and cleaned up.

I'm sorry, Maria.
I'm glad you weren't hurt, Kathy.

Yard sale: in my experience, it's not worth it, money-wise, but totally worth it to Freecycle a bunch of stuff you don't want to take with you. Moving is always a good excuse to lighten your load.
Caveat: you probably have a lot of kid stuff, which actually might make a fair amount of money. But I've never made any substantial money on a yard sale. T&G and I had a free yard sale when they moved to NYC, and we still had an entire front porch's worth of stuff that we had to freecycle at the end of it. We couldn't give it away! But we did live out in the country. Or, "country."

I vote yes, but also because it makes you take out everything you don't want to move and then you can bring it straight to Goodwill (etc) at the end of the sale. It also seems like it would be a good time to get rid of furniture to people (students) who have settled into a new place and see what they need.
