Swings for Sale

We currently have 2 infant swings for sale on Craigslist.

I got so excited last night because someone wrote inquiring if we still had them available.

(you have to click on the photos to make them bigger. Sorry...blogging struggles)


"Yeah", I thought, "there's some pretty obvious grammar missteps, but who (whom?) among us doesn't make a grammatical error or too every know and again?"

Could be a second language learner, someone that didn't finish high school, a young kid trying to buy some swings for his baby brothers, who knows?

So, I replied as quickly as possible:



I was thrilled to see a response only a few minutes later:


We all know what "send me your address for the certified check" thing means. There was no explaining that away.


Total disappointment.





Or was it?




I gave my computer to Chris.

  2. I wish Chris could have attached a virus for dear ole Mark. Thought of you guys as I played this "game" today - I might not have gotten all the locations right away, but thanks to y'all, I knew where Turkey was on the map! http://www.rethinkingschools.org/just_fun/games/mapgame.html
