Here garage/yard sales are very much a saturday/sunday thing.
Here, too. I rarely see signs for a Friday garage sale.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

They are SO nice I am a little worried they might be planning to sacrifice her to their elder gods or something.
Nah, not for a week and change. Elder god sacrifice is more of a new moon thing.
ETA: Or so I've heard.

Around here I have seen a bunch of Friday garage sales and it always throws me.
I have that overly emotional feeling, like I could cry at the drop of a hat. I'm not PMSing, nothing specifically has me upset, I just feel completely off kilter. This needs to stop.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Question: My college recently changed its name from State College to State University.
For purposes of filling out intrusive government paperwork for investigative bullshit, did I attend a BSC or BSU?
What about a resume?

Garage sales in Utah are very Friday/Saturday, due to the whole "Shopping on Sunday is evil, and if I go shopping I may run into my neighbor who will give me a dirty look and talk trash about me to the other members of the congregation, even though she's out shopping too."
The stay-at-home Moms descend upon the garage sales, or they show up before they go to work and pick through everything before you're ready.
Re: scary things and kids, Hubby had a standing display in the game store of a D&D monster with huge teeth and claws. Tiny kids would run up to it and hug it. One I saw kept cackling and going "Grrr! Grrr!" He sold several of the things to parents, who put them in the kids' room and said that the kids slept much better because they had their own personal monster to keep the other ones away.

re college name changes
Mine changed its name right after I graduated--boy, I got great deals on commemorative stuff that was on clearance--but I figured I'd put down the name that people would be able to find rather than the old name that might not show up in any directories.

I would go with whatever name is on your degree.

I'd put down the name of the college you attended, and on a resume I'd note the new name in parenthesis.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

This. For intrusive things, the name you attended. For a resume, note the change.
