IME, the people of Freecycle will take anything and everything, quickly.
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm officially calling it. Dana gets a do-over on today.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I posted to Freecycle, so fingers crossed.

I say stick a sign on it that says "Free Packing Material" and hope for a scavenger.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My husband wants me to haul everything back inside. Hell, no. Not by myself.
Can you put all that stuff out for the trash? While I make serious efforts to recycle/reuse, at some point, getting the shit out of the house is worth more to my peace of mind and quality of life.

Because books.
Around here if you leave anything decent on the curb, someone will take it. Leave it out there for a while.

We're in a gated community, so general curb scavenging is not an option. My vote is that we just load it in the cars and take several trips to the nearest recycling center.
I don't know if they trash guys would take it, but they picked up this morning and won't be back until Monday.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Birthday, Kate!
Five minutes or less tasks, kitchen: wipe down lower cabinet fronts, clean out the toaster crumb tray and counter behind the toaster, clean the outside of the range hood, clean the gaskets on the fridge and freezer, clean the facings inside the fridge and freezer (makes you feel all virtuous when you haven't *actually* cleaned out the fridge or freezer), if you have a lidded trashcan, scrub the lid, wipe down the outside of the can. Polish the faucets and base, if there is one, wipe down the backsplash. Wipe clean the knife block or the outside of the spoons & spatulas jar, if yours is on the counter. Better yet, empty, wash and dry before restoring tools. I usually do one or another of these while waiting for the coffee to brew.

Hmm. It's October 24th, and while it's possible, I'm unlikely to be employed before Thanksgiving.
Should I try NANOWRIMO this year? It's probably my only chance until I retire...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ohhh. That's a huge bummer. At least as far as getting rid of shit. Me, I'm worried about calling the city for Large Trash Pickup (TV, treadmill, broken vacuum cleaner...) because you have to do it a day in advance, and I'm afraid all the stuff will be gone before they get there. I guess they must be used to that, though.
