Forgetting Appointments

I keep all my appointments
As its been said, I arrive a bit early

However

An appointment.....for a garage sale item????
Good luck with that

Do NOT! hold anything for anyone when selling garage sale items

I just sold a 4x8x1/4" sheet of steel
Craig's List
Folks called/emailed
Told 'em 'its still here....at the moment'

Sold it in a couple hours
 

Here we go again. A woman was supposed to come and look at a table and bring her BIL to help move it. I just got a PM from her saying he hurt his back and can't help her.
They are getting more creative with their excuses.
 
Okay, I sent a reminder to a woman that was supposed to come tomorrow and look at a trunk I have. Good thing I did. She said she had deleted our PM conversation thread and needed all the info again. Now why would anyone delete a message like that? Any bets on if she shows up?
 
I just now this morning talked to my part time housekeeper about the upcoming holiday, and had to ask her again before
she left what about the holiday????

So many people that have had appointments with me don't show up and when I PM them about it, most say, "Oh, I forgot." With all the electronic personal helper gadgets available nowadays, is there any excuse about forgetting appointments? If all ealse fails, there's always a pencil and an appointment calendar.

I agree appointments should not be missed with all our technology. My dentist texts me 2 weeks in advance that my appointment is coming up then texts the day of...she is the only one I have seen do this

She just PMed me and said to forget it. At least she let me know.
 
I think I bit off more than I can masticate this year. That rug I brought down from the attic always seems to be in the way no matter where I put it. The steamer trunks and microwave ovens are taking up a lot of room on the porch. Probably won't sell them, either. I need a bigger porch!

When my nephew married a few years ago he and his bride asked that all wedding gifts be Anonymous. They said it was so all gifts would be equally appreciated no matter what people paid for them (or some stupid thing like that), but I suspect it was so they wouldn't have to bother with thank you cards or emails.

So I guess it would be okay to give nothing since all gifts would be equally appreciated? I agree with you, too lazy to be bothered with thank yous but what about the time and money someone spent on THEIR gift?
 
I give up....another no show and I know the person! Called her and she said she hadn't forgotten, she is just busy with her business and to hold it for her because I know she's good for the money. I couldn't pin her down on any specific time.

Deb,

That would be my solution!

I think the theme of your sale this year should be a dollar or FREE!

It’s time to clear the decks in preparation for the next phase of your life. Hang onto the things that have some significant meaning or value like your whales tooth and let the rest of it go.

Good luck!
