Which is why I'm sick at home today, got soaked a couple of days ago, my old sneakers don't repel water with large holes in them.
Don't worry about me, I took some Vitamin-C and other home remedies, I'll be right back at work tomorrow.
SO lets get down to business!
IN THE PAST WEEK I'VE FOUND!
First is this very nice rose patterned chair and footrest, the yellow fall leaves all over it make it almost a nice picture for a calender maybe October or August. From what I saw it was very nice, couldn't really find any faults with it. Guess someone just didn't want this nice chair anymore. How sad! I woulda taken it! If I wasn't on my way to work! Which didn't mean I didn't get anything that day, next i found a....
A mint condition monitor, I've been seeing many tube based monitors on the curb lately. Which is to say that LCD monitors are taking over, I still have the very first one I got for my new computer 5 years ago(Found on the curb of course) but soon that heavy one will be placed on the curb and I will get a new used LCD from someone who loves me...Which reminds me, LCD's can sometimes be thrown out! Recently I found a.....
This E-Machines flat screen monitor!!! I assume they threw it out because of an upgrade of their PC, due to how this monitor is constructed it doesn't accept the normal 3 pronged power plug that dominates the computer monitor and PC power needs. Instead of the 3 prong plug, there is a small one pronged black plug that comes off the normal VGA connector. I haven't done much research on it yet, so I don't know if I can actually use it. Because how its constructed I'm assuming that the actual PC tower provided power to this little cool screen. But moving on!
I found a humidifyer! Hadn't seen one in years, my dad used to have one in the house, what it was for I have no idea. I was wishing that I had picked this up instead of the thing that I picked up instead this day, but now its rained and kept on raining, I just don't need it anymore. lol This was small enough to carry, but most of the stuff I find isn't, thats why you need to have your friends on speed dial. Like when you find this...
SHELVES!!! These were outside a local small market, so they may have been used for several different items, If you took it home, you could probably find tons of stuff to fill these two sets of shelves with, your DVD collection, book collection, Donald Duck Collection... Twinky storage. The possibilities are endless!!! Thats why I love curb shopping! You never know what your going to find, especially a....
TV/GUITAR! Thats right you can watch TV AND play guitar with this amazing device! Detachable by taking one off the other using applied force, the guitar uses gravity and patented "leaning" technology to stay on the TV. Needless to say this was an exciting find! The only thing needed to be replaced on the guitar were the faceplate on the body and the pearl trim around it. And maybe some new strings. I found out it had a plug and pickup inside it for amp playing! Fantastic find, became a Christmas present of sorts. Its days like this day that curb shopping is at its best, its like finding treasure! Speaking of treasure, I found this....
In a hole in my shoe! The day I got sick, I was sitting in Union Station waiting for my subway train, when I looked down and saw something red sticking out of the hole in the side of my shoe, I opened it to find this small note. And its small! Like it was written for shoe gnomes, that hide all the diamonds and rubies and precious gems that fall out of rings and are seemingly lost to the world, and they sew them into shoe padding.
I have yet to peek inside my shoes...
Too scared.
