Kudos to the kids who can sell to more than just relatives here. Every. Single. Kid from preschool to seniors gets this info. I did ask a friend today who happens to homeschool and lives in the Ames district and she had already bought one.

I pity you the task. I wonder if the Boy Scouts get permission to sell popcorn in the tailgating lots or they just do it? Assuming your cards are for a bunch of restaurants, grocery and convenience stores like ours, you could probably unload a lot of them to people coming to town for football all season.
Our cards had a discount for a local pizza place on it that has closed.
Husband comes home and asks why we're watching the same match on Comcast as they have on ESPN.
Instead of commercials, get to watch players hydrate and change shirts, duh.
Also ditch more annoying announcers like John McEnroe and Chris Evert.

I missed this one, but caught the other one. I just chose not to call attention to it...but I KNOW he's dying for someone to ask him!
I don't know why, but picturing Woo as d'Artagnan sends me into giggle fits.You're the boss man. In the alternative, @jcyclonee ; @cycloneG and I could form a super group--sort of 3 musketeerish to assist where needed.
(love you, Woo)

In this scenario Woo has to duel all three of us. I call first!
Dang it Carvers you teed this up for me to make a southern Iowa joke, but I can't because I like you too much. With tennis comment sound like a good night for your husband.

Ours last year had both Battlecry BBQ and The Other Place which both closed. We did get our money back, used at Tropical Smoothie (not on this year's sadly), Cookie's Etc (not on there either), Texas Roadhouse, and DQ. They are supposed to be one time use, but a couple places we used it more than once.
They tell the kids not to sell door-to-door, but of course I saw half the neighborhood out tonight.
I would have really teed it up with comment from 6th kid to ring the bell. When I told him five of his teammates beat him to the punch, he said all the guys know I'm an "easy mark."
One of the football players got hit by a car one year selling these. They literally run up and down the streets trying and they stop your car in the middle of the street too. The jerseys cost $200, that's a lot for these kids.
We have tags on ours for one time use but several that you can use repeatedly with the main part of the card. Casey's did both.
Win tonight for Sideways Stories from Wayside School. Z listened to three chapters. Starting with SAM the rat.
Carvers $200 for jerseys? Don't they reuse them yr to yr? Holy cow things have changed since I was in school.
The Z family (Shamelessly stolen from Boxstercy) I have no idea what that book is about but three chapters of peace and quiet sounds pretty darn good to me. Glad Z found a story to enjoy.

As much as I loved this line in the movie, it's totally statutory.
Went jet skiing for the first time ever. Went about 5 km from the shore then got off and snorkeled. Sadly, didn't see any sharks, but did see a whale!
Last time we snorkeled, I was off by myself just floating, and a school of cuttlefish swam underneath me. I'd never seen them before. They're really goofy looking! I also had this one big fish (not huge - maybe 18 inches long - but big compared to the others around) who was apparently fascinated by me...or used to getting fed by snorkelers. He kept swimming up and head-butting me.
Gee, Aramis, what pray tell would that beverage be called?
You just made his day, you know?
he's shown patience and restraint waiting this long. And besides...all for one....
