Good luck in the roommate search meara!

I am sort of an all in or all out kind of girl, and it is something I actually need to work on! I do not moderate. God help me if I ever took drugs! But I am trying to just get rid of all the shit, so I just don't get overwhelmed again. I moved so much shit 15 years ago and never unpacked

I also have doubles and triples of stuff. Like 3 dishwashing liquids, 3 cat litters, 5 tape measures, 3 hot sauces. I am never going to have to buy anything again.

But I think I am getting down to a reasonable amount of stuff to maintain. And just having Aidan come to carry things is so life changing. I don't know what I will do when he goes off to college. Unfortunately Petunia is of no help, except as a mouser. She is pretty good at theat!

Also, funny thing, I did end up getting rid of a lot of papers and old prompt books from my stage management days, and printed out binders of fanfic, but I would not let go of high school and college papers that had a lot of praise on them or my two boxes of pictures and letters also from high school and college. I did get rid of my acting teaching materials, but I think if I go back to it, I need new, not typed on a typewriter materials.

Sophia, could you take out the wine bottles one at a time rather than a whole box. Just one each morning as you leave? That would get the stuff gone with costing more. Everything does not have to be right now. You can do a thing, then read a book. Do another thing tomorrow, then cook some food....

That is good advice, msbelle. As I said, I tend to be all or nothing. I don't think the attic will torpedo my inspection.

My brother is going to a rehab facility. Thank god. Physically, he's okay—blood pressure and heart rate are normal. He was dehydrated, but he got IV fluids. I'm so relieved he's going to rehab.

ION, I just did a very chilly 5K, but it was fun! It was at a park that has a holiday lights display you can drive through, and the last mile of the race was through the lights. We hit it about 5:45, so it was dark enough to enjoy them. And I got that sweet, sweet finisher's medal.

Whew, rehab! Yay 5k with lights!

Gud, you are one of the only Buffistas I have actually met in meat space. You and aurelia.

everytime you post using MY inner monologue about feeling worthless, it breaks my heart!

Dude, you are a great guy and I wish I still lived in KC so I could tell you in person! Please, one depressed MF to another, there are better ways to deal with this than taking it all on yourself.

KC area has a lot of great medical professionals. Take advantage of that. If you want, I could recommend my old psychiatrist. She's great and while not a genre fan, at least appreciates the arts and is very easy to talk to. Let me know.

I love you man, you are only one of two people on this board that I know is real! Don't want to lose you!

Sophia and Debet - I changed the form a bit and listing a charity is no longer required and in addition there is now a place where you can check broad groups that may be of interest.

If you want to be on the emails of those participating, please fill out the form.

I saw and I did. I am sorry I am nutty.

I couldn't come up with suggestions either! Not sure why that is so hard.

I'm wondering how amyth is doing.
