EmmaLindsey 2 Posted May 31, 2014 This is awesome! I'm from St. Louis and I live in Ballwin right now so that's not too far. I also love the idea of a clothing swap/exchange/sell type thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinksjo1 137 Posted June 1, 2014 Hi - sure, we can do that! We can do that at each meeting. Great idea!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greensleeve 457 Posted June 1, 2014 Also I bought a big box of upcal, Calcium that you put into a drink. I can't stand it but that could be because anything I had the first week after surgery reminds me of being sick, so I can't have any of it anymore. I'll bring the box and you guys are free to take as much as you want. I also have three fourths of a bottle of sugar free hazelnut Torani Syrup. I don't know if that's gross but I swear I haven't put anything in it! I just hate to waste it but I don't like it. I have some nice work clothes that I just bought before surgery. I could probably sell them but it is a hassle and I'd rather give them away to people I know are going to appreciate them and pass them on when they can't use them anymore!

EmmaLindsey 2 Posted June 1, 2014 Are we simply trading clothes or can we also sell them? I've got some nice ones that if they don't sell, I'd love to give away but would like to try to sell them first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinksjo1 137 Posted June 2, 2014 Hi EmmaLindsey - that is fine if you want to put a price on them. We'll just let everyone know some items are for sale and some items are for free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinksjo1 137 Posted June 18, 2014 Great question! I should have asked for RSVPs...can everyone let me know as I have prepared workbooks for everyone to keep and use at each meeting. I also have a give-away - we'll draw names. I'll have ice and Water available. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
