A quick update on the Craigslist listings that I mentioned a few days ago. So far we have sold 3 of the items for $1,450. There are 3 items still left but there have been offers and/or inquiries on those as well. So far I have been pleased with Craigslist. It was easy to use and there were not listing fees like I would have paid to eBay. I am looking around to see what else around the house is not nailed down that I can sell. Anyone interested in some kids?

P.S. I am only kidding about the kids in case you thought otherwise.

I have finally secured proof that Ron is all hot air.  I arrived at work today to find Ron’s cube adorned with a fresh Saxby Chambliss bumper sticker. Don’t take my word for it.  I had Sarah grab me a picture with the office camera.  Is this something like a bigfoot sighting?  Should I be getting paid for capturing this?

I just finished posting some furniture, my electric drums, and my radio control airplane to Craigslist.  I was shocked by how simple this was.  Beats eBay by miles for how simple it is to just jump in and get something listed.  Of course, I will have to wait and see if anything sells.  If you are interested in what I am selling here are the links:

Glass Dining Room Table & 4 Chairs

White Toddler Bed

Formal Dining Room Set with 8 Chairs and China Hutch

RC Airplane and Radio

Roland V-Drums

I’ll update everyone later on how I do trying to sell this stuff.

The day after the election and the solid beating that the Republican Party took I made a blog post about about getting involved. Since I am a firm believer in walking the talk not just talking the talk I headed out to the first political meeting of my life this morning. I did not go alone though. Ron Davis went as well since he is tired of the same old politics and is on a personal mission to see Saxby Chambliss unemployed next year. While I may not see eye-to-eye on everything with Ron it was nice to have someone to go with.

Overall the meeting was interesting and I learned alot about issues I did not even know where issues in Georgia. Maybe I will post more on that at a later time. Suffice it to say… did you know that we have been in a border dispute with Tennessee for over 150 years? Yeah, me neither.

There was also lots of talk about the run-off election that will occur for Georgia on December 2nd. Saxby Chambliss is in a serious fight for his job and his re-election chairman for Paulding county was there to urge us to vote for him. He said that Saxby got the message and that he plans to return to fiscal conservatism and to fight for the conservative values that the Georgia people want. I want to hear it from Saxby though before I will believe it. Ron talked to the guy on the way out the door but I will leave that for him to comment on his blog.

Overall my first trip into politics was enjoyable and I plan to go back for the next meeting. If you live in Paulding county and want to get involved in something other than armchair politics then let me know and I will make sure you get the details on the next meeting.

I passed a church the other day that had a sign that can be changed each week to make an announcement or display some cute message like, “What is missing in CH — RH… U R”. However, in this particular case the sign was blank. I couldn’t help but think this sign was screaming, “Keep driving… nothing going on here”. To make matters worse, this was the church that my family had recently left after attending for over 7 years. If you passed a church with a blank sign out front, what would the sign be saying to you?
