  • Hey y’all and welcome back! We are glad we got to go out and do some dumpster diving before the storms start this weekend. We found a great assortment of items today with our favorites being the large pink animal cage and of course the life-sized crochet blanket!! That is just too cool. Dumpster diving is so fun because you truly never know what you will find!
    We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and we’ll see you next time! Thank you for watching :)
    As always, thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy diving and movin' on!

    Hey y'all! We couldn’t believe the surprise of unfolding that crochet blanket and discovering it was so much more than we imagined! What a wonderful reminder of the fun that dumpster diving is - you just truly never know what you will find! Happy Friday, happy diving, and we’re movin’ on!

    I bet the My Pad was one of those that insurance companies provided to patients receiving home health . The care givers used them to clock in and out and get their schedules and notifications. Now care givers just use their phones. They told us patients to keep the boxes when they gave them to us, but they've never told us what to do with them now. After several fruitless inquiries, I've concluded that it costs more to take them back than they're worth. I was told by one insurance person "Just toss it". ✌

    The cage can be good for the kitty too. Or for birds. They're at least $500... Is best to take the bags of goodies home and check out later some of the makeup might be fully sealed.. and nail polish too.

    Hello Everyone! One of the not so nice things of DD is the stinky stuff, but well worth the chance of finding treasure. 🎁 You should have taken that "diaper" thingy bag ... sometimes people put their valuables in there, like jewelry or coins.

  • @meshehulk.ks3
    @meshehulk.ks3 Před 12 dny +4

    If you are really into that "leather bound" book,and if you feel it's worth it, as long as it's still damp, you can flatten the pages back out by putting wax paper in between each page and then wrap the book itself with a good amount of the same wax paper and put some kind of heavy weight on top of it and leave it till its dry.

    • @faeriesmak
      @faeriesmak Před 6 dny

      It’s not worth it and it is not leather bound. They are pretty common Time Life books. That one is from the Old West series.

    That would be a great ferret cage!! I had mine for 7 years! I loved him so much. He was only caged when I wasn’t home. He slept at my feet under the sheets every night. He napped in a bottom dresser drawer I set up. He was corner paper trained in my kitchen or just went into his cage to go. Great dive you two!! Fun as always!!
