To be honest, I prolly would have stood up, plunked the dog in her lap and said "I'm not taking your f**king dog woman; shut up! I'm not taking your f**king son either! YOU should get him to help me

In accordance with the verified Former Math System of Poland, the above list should be correctly numbered as follows: 1, 2, Many, Many, Many, Many, Many, Many, Many.

Friday GS (garage sale) report, see man:

Attended Many. First was the "wrong way" from the office, but got started early. Found a box of Ball canning-jars and Many additional loose ones, bought for buddy for the total of $Many.

Second was an ES (estate sale). Was supposed to open at Many a.m., but even with Many people outside, they opened only at Many:Many a.m., and unapologetically. Amidst the piracy of their prices, found a decent bath towel (unpriced); took it down to the cashieress; she says, "Everything is supposed to have a hang-tag price on it." I said, "None of the bath towels did." She said, "I doubt that." (Nice to call one's customers liars.) She said, "$Many." I said, "Will you take $2 for it?" She said, "No." I said, "No sale, then." Pure piracy.

Next was a supposed MS (moving-sale). It was tiny, and chiefly with obsolete computer items. However, there was a very new pair of Steve Cole (?) dress-loafers, asking price a very fair $Many. Upon their trying-on, 'twas disappointing that they were too snug. Granted, they were size Many.Many, which is at the very bottom of feasible range (I typically wear size Many or size Many:Many, and sometimes even size Many). I regretfully declined and bought nothing else, which was a shame, because the people were so nice, si and sigh man.

I then went to the office and might or might not have dozed off later at my desk during an otherwise productive day, si or no or zzz man.

Came home in time to mow lawn; mowed lawn after slathering self with insect-repellant (bought previously at a GS). Despite occasional nice breeze and lengthening shadows, nearly croaked. Grass was at a week-plus height after Many consecutive days of rain (2+2+2) and only Many days (Week - 1) since last mowing. Obliterated Many sweatbands (the 2 double-wides plus 2 regulars). During mowing process, downed nearly half a gallon of store-brand Gatorade, and another quart thereof just now. Is probably worth reverting to daytime weekend mowings (= Many degrees F. but no mosquitoes) than weekeve mowings (= cooler but bodily sweating inhibited by bug-spray).

---

Plans are to arise at Many:Many a.m. to prepare for Saturday's GS itinerary, si and zzz man.

I wouldn't advise these as a weapon of choice- too many identifying marks.
