looking at used items on Craigslist and got some great leads on high chairs.

People like this make me feel like I price my stuff too cheaply

Now I know how to price my stuff for a garage sale. We need to get rid of 99% of the baby stuff taking up space in the store room. The high chair and bouncy seat are 15yrs old. The swing we have is only 7 years old. I think we will hang onto that fine Italian crib we paid hundreds (not thousands) for, can pass that heirloom onto the kids.

Make sure to call the oldest stuff "vintage", lol.

Is it "vintage" or "retro"? What would fetch a better price?

The problem with some of that retro/vintage stuff for babies is they most likely don't meet today's standards for safety.

Hey, we all survived.

I remember taking road trips in the station wagon. We kids would crawl all over between the back seat and the rear facing rear seat. It would have killed us to be strapped in like kids are today.

Thanks JLH!

Hope you had a good day today, JC!

Wow, that number looks big.

Ran errands early evening and totally forgot to buy ibuprofen. Did remember to buy moar wine. And steak to grill. FTW.

Currently drinking away all of the gains from Sunday bike ride and Monday weight workout.

Grilled steaks last night but couldn't drink any wine and had to eat quickly because we had our first baseball practice. Wine breath is probably not the best idea when coaching 15-year-olds.

I turned my AC on tonight in my condo for the first time. Thanks global warming.

MrsWx turned ours on yesterday afternoon (and probably will today). We opened up after dinner but it is just easier especially with nap times and bedtimes if it is noisy outside to keep the windows closed. It is hard enough now that LittleWx got so used to "it's dark it's nighttime/bedtime" now that it is light out...

I think @Angie has provided me with enough clues that I’ve figured out which flight she’s on. We’re all good now, gang. The two lovebirds will unite.

I have the flight numbers that can be sold for a price.

Do the high chairs and bouncy seats have expiration dates like car seats?

 

[jcyclonee]

There's some RTT inside joke just right for this, but my brain is probably on its lowest functioning plane right now.

 

[jcyclonee]

Same here, obviously - but it looks sorta slick, I hope:

Which is good, because we've only got an hour and fifty minutes in Chicago on the way home.

Have a great trip and remember this important phrase.

vai a cicloni!

I think they say to look at recall lists and see if old baby items are on there. And it seemed like every baby item we had was recalled at one time or another.

No A/C on here yet. I had opened the patio door yesterday and turned on the ceiling fan to get some air moving upstairs, but not too long after that the farmer behind us started field prep. With the wind and dust, we shut the patio door. I do need to switch sheets out on kids' beds (still have flannel sheets on), they were all saying they were sweating last night.

Good point on the recalls. This is the last week of Target's trade in program so we are taking advantage of that.

Trade in? What can you swap?

Old/expired car seats for a coupon for 20% off a new car seat.

I turned some in last year as an easy way to get rid of some. I probably have a few more I could turn in, but we are pretty much at the end of our car seat life. May need one more highback booster, but otherwise done
