--- Aim High - Jobless Teen Charges for "Mediocre" Advice --
CANADA - In addition to enduring a painful breakup, Canadian teenager Trevor Dame couldn't find a summer job and needed to more resourceful to earn money. For 25 cents, he dispenses "mediocre" advice to passersby. The teenager feared customers would want a refund if he advertised "good" advice, but he felt he could handle giving "mediocre" advice. Thus, he scaled back his operation and wore a sign that said "Medio- cre advice - 25 cents" to attract customers. Dame explained his motivation, "I just went through a breakup, I can't find a summer job, and I was feeling lonely and bored. I thought I'd do this and make some money and hopefully make people smile." Next up - a lemonade stand.
Think he will need a mediocre sign to go with that lemonade stand?

Packings going pretty good, we had a yard sale all weekend, got rid of a lot of stuff, made two potential customer connections, and made $150!!!
Not bad for just putting things out we were going to haul off to the thrift store!
Jackson, Still lots to sort through and pack...but I feel confident I'll have most of my stuff into storage by the time I come up to work.
Looking forward to it!!!!
Another note on having a yard sale...of course I made my own signs...! And people commented that they were the nicest yard sale signs they had ever seen!
