    Cool Visited The Roadside Mall!

    I had to pick some folks up late last night at the airport. It was like twelve-thirty when I was driving home. Noticed lots of folks looking through the trash piles everyone had out for our 2x a year trash pickup. Because I have been reading about all the great things you folks have been finding, I got the nerve to look for some things. I got two nice plastic lawn chairs, a cute little wire patio table and best of all, a drop leaf, Ethan Allen coffee table. It had about three inches of dust and dirt on it but, it is cleaning up beautifully! I just wanted to let you all know that you folks helped me get the spunk to get out of my van and look. Thanks all my USave friends!

    WTG! You did awesome. Curbside is the most fun! Spring is a good time to start scoping out the curbs.

    How awesome for you! I, too, am in envy of your Ethan Allen coffee table. It's amazing what some people will throw away.

    Good job!

    Woo-Hoo! We don't have that sort of trash to pick through here. We have to haul all big things to the dump grounds and people seem to delight in throwing them out of the truck as to destroy them and keep anyone from having it!
