Ugh, Suzi.

The only good thing about living paycheque to paycheque is that a fraudster have to get me between payday and mortgage day to get any money out of me.

Every once in a while I get all purgey and get rid of stuff, but not as often as I like, or need to.

My hurdle is that I can determine what I want to do with something, but I lack the helpful gremlins who will then take said stuff to the thrift store or the recycling place.

Connie, are there any charities in your area that will come pick up? We have a chain of thrift stores that charities sell to and so there are several who will come pick up your crap.

The amount of boxes in the office (firehazarddeathtrap) would have you believe he has a thriving eBay business.

Make him get rid of all but three boxes.

Dear Tim, you will appreciate the MATH of this. You only get to keep 3x the number of boxes of things you have sold on eBay in the last seven years. That is a super fair number and you have to recognize the validity of it.

Math is why we only have one oscilloscope, not two.

My packrat ways resulted in me saving a ton of boxes inside the big box a (long since discarded) office chair came in, which turned out to be very useful in blocking off the wall my cats tried to tunnel through. I really need to find time to go through a bunch of boxes of magazines that I haven't looked at in a decade, though. They represent at least a dozen square feet of floor space that could be open and showing exposed brick.

For some reason, this reminds me of the TV ads I saw in Shanghai.

Mine got smaller and my arch got higher. Explain that.

I have no idea why, but almost every single pair of shoes I had (or at least the ones I actually wore) were slightly too big after chemo.

still flat footed as can be though.

That is weird!

It was, yes!

I need to download 5 or 6 books for vacation reading. Anyone have any recommendations?

Either of Gillian Flynn's earlier two books, Dark Places and Sharp Objects. I loved the last two Alice Hoffman novels I read, The Red Garden and The Story SIsters.

Shall I recommend a different one here than on FB? The Eyre Affair.
