Has anyone ever been to the big flea market out at the Kansas Coliseum and is it worth it? I noticed it's going on tomorrow and I'd really like to go, but didn't know if it was worth the time or trouble to drive over there for it.
Why would anyone go to a large flea market?
Aren't small fleas bad enough?
At least large fleas can be trained to do useful work at low wages! ;D
LOL
Steve asked me the same thing. Told me I had enough fleas around here.
One can never have too many fleas. ;D
You people are pathetic!!!! Our good friend Sarah just asked a simple question and is bombarded by sarcastic comments.
Sarah, you should go and experience this event on your own without input from others. That way, you can form your own opinion of whether it is worth it or not. It is better to have tried and not liked it, than to never try and never know what you missed. I have found as I get older that there are experiences, that in my younger years, I would not bother with, becoming something I would like to see or try. This, just so I can say I did it. This is kinda like some 80 year old person skydiving just to say they did it, although that is something I am not prone to do.
On the other hand, why in the hell would you want to go all that way to buy fleas? :laugh:

LOL Thought they might be a better kind of flea than the kind I can find on my dogs. ;D :D :D
There are some whoppers on the Political section, too.
Go ahead and slap a few of them, Sarah. Ya can't kill 'em. They just keep coming back the next day.

I agree. People like different things. Jim and my boys could spend all day at a car show. To me, it would be a waste. :D

But will you when you're 80? :D :D :D
Honestly, I was just wondering if it was just a bunch of junk out there or if they actually had stuff worth buying. But we ended up not going for the rain and I didn't want to leave the comfort of my fire. ;D
veddy veddy wise move.Or lack of move rather. ;)
There's a significant amount of junk, yes, but there are also some real find out there...The key is getting there early. The flea market is held out in the pavilion buildings. You'll enjoy yourself. ;D

Is it every Sunday out there?
Mom, (cuz), I was given the opportuntity to "go airborne" at the completion of my basic training. I had a choice of staying for two and one half weeks of airborne training or going home on leave and getting married. Shoud've stayed for the airborne training. A good friend of mine who was a lifer once chastised another co-worker who was a former paratrooper by saying, "who in their right mind would jump out of a perfectly good airplane."
I didn't then and will never try skydiving. I had enough thrills riding on medevac choppers. That was good enough for me.

Larry,
I think you are a wise man but getting a ride on a Dust-Off was pretty neat. Gave me 3 days out of the bush so it was worth the ride. :)
Jarhead, you are talking limo rides!!! I was in "pickups" with no doors and no seat belts. I was bracing stretchers against the bulkheads with my feet and hanging on with both hands. I didn't do it much, but once was once too much. Most of it was practice, too. I also had the chance of becoming one of those helo jockeys, but turned that down too. It would have cost me another year of my life, and everyone knows the lifespan of a eggbeater operator in Vietnam, one step below the lifespan of a medic. Another possible bad decision, in retrospect. I see all the choppers flying the skies of LA and think I could have been one of those. Oh well, water under the bridge!! I remain grounded and safe and happy and alive.

Did you haul fleas? have fleas? or how did that get on here? ;D ;D ;D ;D

It's held once a month...You can get a schedule for them at any of the antique malls, such as the one in Andover, or you can go to the big flea market on Pawnee and they'll have the schedules there...Enjoy!
