You left us all hanging! Did they all get taken? Did the rescued carrot thins become adult carrots? You succeeded in making me feel guilty for composting my thinned carrots!:) I'll help spread "pocket peppers" in the San Francisco Bay Area region. And I'm now insanely jealous of your yard. I have three 4' x 8' raised beds (in the front yard) and a bunch of pots to try and fulfill my garden ambitions.

LOL Everything got picked up EXCEPT the carrots! They shriveled up and died, and I was sad. Our garden is in the front yard, too, and I LOVE it. Lots of spontaneous conversations with neighbors and others walking by.

And now I want Mike to plant a garden in my front yard (because he’s the only one who can keep plants alive and has the patience and fortitude for gardening).

Oh. My. God. BEST EVER! I can’t believe you didn’t want to deal with all the lookie lous on Craigslist because you could have made $100 or more!

Seriously, though, the humor is worth way more than all that and to @Steve Goldberg, I can’t imagine these “priceless” items lasted more than 24 hours. For the record, I’m a boomer, have one of those portable scaffolding things, AND I LOVE IT. Took it apart myself but would not recommend it.

Please microwave more posts. 🤣🥰🤓

LOL noted, re more microwaveable posts!

I tried selling the scaffolding, but no takers on Facebook Marketplace, and I don't have the patience for Craigslist shenanigans.

I’m dead.🤣🤣🤣

I am requesting microwave posts at least once a month now. Maybe a “featured crap” bit with the weirdest thing you see posted on these groups or by the road. Your own stuff doesn’t count.😏

There’s a Yiddish word for all these things: Schmatta. This post is amazing and just what I needed for my Monday motivation
