Starting very soon and extending over the next several months, we've got some wonderful changes in store for QFLEA.com - your virtual flea market. One relates to how we market ourselves. When you think about the traditional flea market, your mind conjures up a field filled with tables and booths with almost anything for sale ... and many times, what you can find at the flea market can also be found at the dollar store and the garage sale. That's not us and it never really has been. We've always seen ourselves at the next generation of flea market offering quality items, many of which are handcrafted and pesonalized, and yet we never took advantage of what makes us special. You'll start seeing some changes on our website, in some of the material we share with you through this newsletter and in other ways. You'll also see a change in this newsletter as well. Starting January 2009, we will be publishing fifteen editions of the QFLEA Shopping News each year - on the first of each month, and also on October 15, November 15 and December 8. We hope to include more stories about our vendors so you can really get a detailed look at who we are and what we have to offer. We hope to show you, and the world, about how we really are that next generation of flea market. We also hope to be able to show everyone that we are a great "green" alternative to driving to the mall. I hope you'll keep an eye on us and watch as we begin the slow transformation and should you have any comments or suggestions as we proceed, we're always glad to hear from you! Jacob, age 92, and Rebecca, age 89, living in Florida, are all excited about their decision to get married. They go for a stroll to discuss the wedding, and on the way they pass a drugstore. Jacob suggests they go in. Jacob addresses the man behind the counter: "Are you the owner?" The pharmacist answers, "Yes." Jacob: "We're about to get married. Do you sell heart medication?" Pharmacist: "Of course we do." Jacob: "How about medicine for circulation?" Pharmacist: "All kinds." Jacob: "Medicine for rheumatism and scoliosis?" Pharmacist: "Definitely." Jacob: "How about hearing aids?" Pharmacist: "Of course." Jacob: " Medicine for memory problems, arthritis, jaundice?" Pharmacist: "Yes, a large variety! The works." Jacob: "What about vitamins, sleeping pills, Geritol, antidotes for Parkinson's disease?" Pharmacist: "Absolutely." Jacob: "You sell wheelchairs and walkers?" Pharmacist: "All speeds and sizes." Jacob: "Thank you. We'd like to use this store as our Bridal Registry." Life's Lessons

Mumoocie Mumoocie - Helping the world sleep like a baby. Innovative sleep aid/companion for adults and children. A little guy is sitting at the bar just staring at his drink for half an hour when this big trouble-making biker steps next to him, grabs his drink, gulps it down in one swig and then turns to the guy with a menacing stare as if to say, 'What'cha gonna do about it?' The poor little guy starts crying. 'Come on man. I was just giving you a hard time,' the biker says. 'I didn't think you'd CRY. I can't stand to see a man crying.' 'This is the worst day of my life,' says the little guy between sobs. 'I can't do anything right. I overslept and was late to an important meeting, so my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car was stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife is having an affair with the gardener and my dog bit me. So I came to this bar to work up the courage to end to my life, and then you show up and drink my poison!' Don't you hate when your foot falls asleep and you know it will be up all night. ... Steven Wright. |
