Last summer, before I was laid off, I saw 3 guys loading huge mirrors into a big truck. They were cleaning out a space that had been used by a fitness club that was going out of business. I stopped and watched, because - well - because I wondered about how they handled glass that size. (We're talking wall-sized mirrors!) I asked what they were going to do with them, and they said "junk 'em. You want 'em?" I did, but, being tired and mired in the daily "living" stuff, I couldn't think my way through their acquisition. Halfway home, and WAAAAY too late, it occurred to me to pay them to deliver them to me. It took that long for me to realize that they weren't useful in my condo, but they'd be useful to SOMEBODY! Mirrors are expensive. I probably passed on a couple of thousands of dollars. Sigh. So, to get myself in the proper thinking mode, I've rescued a perfectly good barbecue that's been sitting out by the dumpster waiting for the trash guys to pick it up. I see 10 to 15 bucks, if not more. Mary |
