Obama learned how to give a rousing speech sometime after Harvard and before hitting the campaign trail, probably from that controversial preacher, because he was dull as stale coffee before that.

Man, it's hard for me to remember when I used to like Friends. And that's how it parses in my head "when I used to like Friends." Not "when Friends was good."
I can't tell--was it good? Good like AD/Community good?
When I think of American sitcoms I watched in first run that are going down in the record books, I sure hope Community's in the list, somewhere next to Cheers and Golden Girls and Roseanne (not

Half of my ebay auctions are selling. I think this will inspire me to get more listed tonight. I had hoped to list some every night this week, but it has not happened.
Best thing is, the stuff that is selling now is the bulkiest take up space stuff. WOOHOO. Maybe more toys and fall clothes to list tonight.
I keep looking around my house for stuff to take to my parents' yard sale on Saturday.
msbelle, do you have a link to the not-yet-selling stuff? I can't buy, but I can poke folks I know who might be interested.
I just posted a bunch of the yard sale Harry Potters, with more to come. Anyone who knows anyone still HP-fannishly inclined, please feel free to pass along!
