Thanks rosarugosa!

Thank you simplemind! He really was a sweetie!

Sorry for the double post, was trying to correct my spelling . Should be crammed not cramped shelves. Am afraid to try and correct as I might y end up with three posts!

About five years ago I got rid of 15 banker boxes full of books. My nephew is a teacher at a school that can't afford a lot of books. Most of the ones I donated were classics. So this weekend I...

CorkyM, I am so very sorry for your loss! I lost my husband in October also. He had been sick for about three years with a lung disease that we were told was caused by heart disease . Towards the...

You could use a photo album with the peel back plastic to hold your cards. It would be easy to make changes to. I use them for recipes and for warranties and manuals. I have them in plastic pockets...

Thanks I will wash well in future instead of just avoiding the dirty eggs.

Chicken lady, I'm glad to hear your students saying good things about their lives . I babysit my two great nephews and meet them at the bus after school; every day I ask how was school? and every day...

When I was young my sister and I had a candle lit dinner for Barbie and Ken dolls. But we wandered off for a minute and came back to a plastic table on fire and our bedroom curtains in flames. We...

Back to the impossible task, I remember reading 2 things that helped me. First do the ickiest thing first, and second if it takes less than 1 minute, do it immediately. I don't like phone calls so I...

SiouzQ, I have not been on this site for a while. But wanted to say how extremely sorry I am to hear of your loss. I will keep you in my prayers.

Would you mind telling the name of the hoarding group? I know someone who is looking for one; it is online, right?

An 8 most of the time. But I have had fibromyalgia and severe arthritis for years. It gets harder each year to garden and be active. So when I hurt I drop to a 5. Time for a knee replacement. I wish...

Yeah chicken lady I've been waiting for year four of the elephant !

I read here how you can use your old Amazon boxes to send stuff to Goodwill so I loaded two giant boxes with puzzles that I know I won't do again. Then I got a call from AMVETS and they came and...

Egads that's what I was afraid of! haha! Although that was too long ago for eBay at least. The worst thing was having to hand wash my two remaining pair of undies and bras daily until Santa brought...

Dadopotato, you reminded me of when I was in college and the laundromat was next door to the poolhall/bar. I left my clothes in the dryer and went to shoot some eightball. When I got done and went...

True, Steve. My brother has been helping recently which is great since he lives 2 blocks away from Dad while I live 2 hours away!

Very sorry for your loss. I too am the one who takes care of my Dad. In our case, I took over his financial stuff when we learned of gambling losses. I was negotiating with his credit card companies...

We were the only white family on the block where I grew up till I was five . We moved to the suburbs and I asked my mom where are all the black kids ? She said there aren't any black kids here . So I...

I got 102, probably cuz I don't smoke or drink and my dad's side lives to 100. I try to withdraw only 2-3 percent a year and will delay ss till I am 70. Anything left will be split up between dh and...

Together 36 years, married 30 in January. He's my best friend and makes me laugh all the time. My first marriage, he was married over 30 years to his first wife when they divorced. He's got 5 kids, 2...

My only suggestion is to not get big boxes. For books and kitchen stuff my Dad once got huge boxes that once packed, could hardly be lifted! Good luck on your move!

Got to go swimming and read in the yard. It's a pleasant sunny day. Also my husband who has congestive heart failure has taken off 37 pounds of water in 3 weeks and feels so much better! I'm so...
