My Internet yard sale the only one in the city of Batavia

Posted by Tom Gilliatt about 2 months ago

  • yard sale

I run my own buy and sell site here tomsinternetyardsale.com/ and as far as I know it is the only one in Batavia like it. I thought it up a couple years ago and with allot of research on the internet and trial and error on my part I managed to get my own server at home to run this site on. Figuring out mysql, php, html and some perl I got it going and now runs with 77 members on board. I have a friend that helped me out by giving my site the dot-com name and with the use of his server thats way faster then mine I moved my site to his server and now runs faster then before but with the theme of a Batavia yard sale in-tacked I just now keep my server at home as a backup in case something goes wrong with the other one. Hopefully I,m not breaking rules by posting this and it's by no means a big business just a small site a started awhile ago. hopfully I will see you there

My Tesla Coil

Another video of My Tesla Coil arcing onto a florescent light bulb, Sounds cool on the video when it first POWERS up and just so you know the voltage is around 200,000 to 300,000 volts. If it arced on your hand it feels like a very HOT pin prick

Rolled coins. There worth nothing when rolled!?!

  • Kwik Fill

Today I went to Kwik Fill at the corner of Jackson st and Ellicott to get some smokes man I hate when I have to go in there for various reasons and now I can add this one to the list.

I asked if I could get a pack of cigarettes and pay for them with my 5$ rolled dimes

NOPE with an attitude is all I got. I kept my cool and left

Attitude in that place is common and I would like to know is the legal for them to not take the dimes as money? I would go to a different store but I'm picky and the brand of cigs and yes I know I should quit. I never seen any sign that says "your rolled money is worth nothing to us"

 

Wow this burns my hide and like I said I wish I never ever had to goto that store... If you want to call it THAT.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer

  • tom155

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer when will it ever end? I mean it is getting harder and harder to make ends meet ya try and work a full time job like I have for the past 15 years and it adds up to nothing but the refrigerate isn't as full as it used to be. Buying food is a joke even going to the dollar stores don't seem to be a bargain anymore and I have tried to find a second joke but never get any calls maybe thats a good thing because I would never have time to spend with the wife and kids if I did and paying the bills NOW there is a sad story in it self.

Seems like the American dream for people that live from check to check like me is GONE.

Now the land lord gets on my case for being later and later on the rent, Being a father of 3 with a wife is just pain getting hard to live. When will it ever get better like politicians keep saying :(

 

Thanks for your time and if I misspelled anything please forgive

Tom
