October Purge

[rosarugosa]

IL: Well I am an old retired lady, but I still seem to be trying to fit an awful lot into my days, so it never really feels like I have lots of time. Fortunately, I've had much more good experiences than bad with giving away stuff, so I'm willing to keep it up.

A dear friend came up from RI to visit with me, Sis and Mom yesterday. Mom just wanted to sleep and not interact, but Sis and I had a great visit with the friend and we sat and talked for over 4 hours. We had pulled together a modest collect of Mom's better quality jewelry and asked her if she would like to choose something. She chose a pearl ring and seemed appreciative. I like being able to thoughtfully disposition things without any urgency.

okay----they have these bins down at the groc store that are return merch from department stores and they price it according to the day. Those people dig like dogs through everything and paw thru the stuff but anyway, i went in there on the $5 day and there was a box that they pried open and there were 5 powdered coated black steel brackets that were bent into right angles and holes drilled. I reckoned it was a kit to make a garage shelf using a 2 x 8 board. So, yeah----worth every penny. Today, was 1$ day, and i grabbed an empty box, filled it with black powder coated tubing parts and other misc stuff and scored it all for 3$, including an unopend full pack of mailers. Yup. So, yeah---got more "useless junk" , as you kids would say. Alla that, in addition to a pair of fairly good El Camino doors (from upta Strafford). So anyway, gotta deal with that, before the battery runs down in my old, junk economy car---one of THE cheapest new cars you could buy at the time. Oh---here's an El Camino(not mine) and a Subbbarrroo Brat for comparison.(see photos) Never see any Brats anymore---guess they've all been "recycled". Yup. 2025-10-26.jpg
