Introduction
These are not the distillations of pundits, poets, and sages, but the rueful observations of ordinary citizens who have knocked around the planet long enough to learn a thing or two.

Anyone who has tried to pass off a $29 Crock-Pot from Marshalls as a purchase from the gourmet appliance section of Macys knows that those discount stickers require a blowtorchand a little telltale orange is still left behind. My friend Donna is the one who keeps the number of her computer repairman inyou got ither computer. People do care more about getting a bargain than they do about price. I know Id rather buy a toaster for $2 at a garage sale than be given it for free. This volume is a sequel to Normal Is Just a Setting on the Dryer, which began when my husband, Bill, and I were talking about Maria Shrivers book, Ten Things I Wish Id Known Before I Went Out into the Real World. I asked friends and readers of my column in the San Francisco Chronicle what they had learned from being in the actual real world, as opposed to the Kennedy-cousin, married-to-Arnold-Schwarzenegger real world.

One woman said, The garment must fit at the moment of purchase. I havent gone into a department-store dressing room since without remembering that. As for the title, The Bigger the Sign, the Worse the Garage Sale , people who take the trouble to make an elaborate sign for their garage sale are taking the whole thing too seriously, and that will be revealed in the prices. Three bucks for a Masters of the Universe figure with an arm torn off? I think not. As someone wisely noted: Not all experience reveals, but all revelation comes through experience.
