What?
Sofa and chair.Not up to the high standards of thrift shops. They want upholstered furniture so nice that only really rich people would give items that perfect away..
So having unsat furniture creates a problem if, for example, your sister is giving away her leather furniture and you’re kinda kinky about leather. So the green fabric stuff is just, like the boll weevil, “lookin’ for a home.”
To make this Charlie Foxtrot even more fox trotted-up,my marital partner Is a foxtrotting hoarder. She has boxes and bags and brown Manila folders holding client files from when she was a CPA, copies of emails of absolutely no importance from her days as a Church/Parochial School Finance Manager, empty bags from her time as a merchandiser,.
I could just scream.
I’m too old to run away and join a circus, I think.

My husband is also a hoarder, and I also want to scream at times. Useless junk fills two of my bedrooms, a storage building, and our garage, that he refuses to get rid of. I know it’s a mental affliction, but still…at time I want to run away to the circus or anywhere to get away from the mess.
I wish the Circuses would let us know about job openings. Maybe on Craig’s List .
Gotta be careful there…may sign up for the circus, but instead wind up being an extra on The Walking Dead. Have to be sure to read the fine print. 😎
True. But without the elephants, lions, and tigers, how much fun can the circus be? You still have the clowns all crammed in to the tiny car though.
I don’t know…I’ve lived all of 67 years, and have never been to a circus. But have been to a lot of fairs and rodeos in my younger days…once had a clown jump the fence in front of the audience to escape the bull, and land in my lap. He was pretty smelly.
They aren’t fastidious at The Rodeo
True. 😊
I think I went once. Maybe a carnival would be better. Just set up the Tilt-A-Whirl and pick up loose change that falls out out of the pockets of the roller coaster riders
Then use the change to play the games. Those cranes were my 1st. husband’s favorite. I wasn’t much on the games, but liked the rides and fun house. I would have liked to go in the side-shows, but couldn’t get him to go in. Oh well, can’t have everything.
Yes Do they still have freak shows?
I have no idea, but doubt it…not PC, you know.🙄 I haven’t been to the fair (we have a big state fair where I live every fall), or the rodeo since my 1st. husband died over 20 years ago.
I remember when the Virginia State Fair was in Richmond. They sold The Fairgrounds to NASCAR a few years back. They run 2 races there, one in the Spring, one in the Fall. The Fair moved to Meadow Event Park, near Kings Dominion Amusement Park.
My most unforgettable memory of the old Fair was when George Lincoln Rockwell , leader of the American Nazi Party, was there in 1965, when he ran for Governor. ( He lost, by the way.)
I went to the Old Fairgrounds to get my COVID-19 vaccinations.
Probably brought back some memories…every time I drive by the place where both the fair and rodeo are held each year, those memories come flooding back for me—times there when I was a child, later on with boyfriends, then 1st husband (who passed away about 22 years ago). And it’s nice that nearly all are good memories.
