According to the morning news, some kid traded a paper clip all the way up to a three bedroom house.
Looking around my own home I would be willing to part with a jar of Skippy peanut butter for some Manolos.
And I'd happily relinquish two or three white plastic hangers for a BMW, with or without a year's worth of gas.
I'd even ratchet things up and swap my beloved Lava Lamp for a villa in Italy.
There's no reason why my Glide dental floss shouldn't be good for a set of patio furniture.
Now I wish I'd saved those record albums from the seventies. I could have opened a Hummer dealership with a couple of those.
Right this minute I'm hungry for some breakfast. I wonder if McDonald's would
swap an empty toilet paper roll for some pancakes and sausage.
A cruise ship dinner on the lake is worth a rubberband or two, don't you think?

What do you think I can get for 100 empty cardboard boxes? How about a 19 year old cat?

Suz: Why would you want another old cat? Are you making a quilt?
I'll trade an autographed picture of Fred Ward for 40 acres in Colorado.
Hi ! I am happy well actually I am filled with joy that I came upon your journal which certainly is interesting as well as funny. I found your entries delightful and well worth reading and laughing over as I was going through them. After reading all the horrible news in the paper and hearing all of the many terrible things going on in the world in Iraq and in the Middle East I was glad to have found your journal when I did a few minutes ago. Today I really needed a pick me up which just happened to come from your journal.
