I've just finished reading a fascinating article posted by byeltsin.
Bunch of internet bums ... grand jury --- opium den ! ~ byeltsin
OKAY I'll go first. After strattelling an alligator last night(going to try to get some pixs, cause I know it may be hard for some to believe, but if you have ever lived in Louisiana, its not too hard), worked in the horrible heat to clean and paint my sister in laws house to put it up for sale so she can move into her mother's house and take care of her. But all she does well is smile, complain and smoke cigs. That's not a critic but an observation. She can drive, so that's a plus. She is really good about smoking cigs.

it sucked.. end of story
Great report, but how were the shrimp cooked today? Enjoy, while you can.
Ouch! I'm busy trying to clean a spot so I can do some quilting. I've picked out fabric for two medium sized wall hangings. Started back to work after two weeks of limited work and two weeks of no work. My legs are killing me. I didn't know you could get out of shape so fast.
..sorry to say this but that sounds boring as hell..
LOL! Yeah not for everyone. The results are nice though. Mine sucked, as well. I could have gone to the Ron Paul gathering in South Carolina today, but I was committed to a previous engagement, which completely crapped out. I'd drink, but I'm too tired to pick up any bottle, even one full of good imported beer.
I haven't been to a happy hour in years. As I recall, they lasted longer than an hour......
what do you do with dozens of quilts? .. Im trying to purge shit from my house not make more shit to have to get rid of.. *you can tell Im in a super mood tonight :P
That's what made them 'happy'...
I can't stand accumulating 'stuff'...I have a 'packrat' neighbor that drives me nuts...basement, garage, barn; just full of, as you put it so succinctly; sh*t.
I give a lot of mine away such as the baby quilt I show above. I'm not a prolific quilter so it hasn't been a problem yet. My intent is to decorate with them. I hope to have seasonal and holiday related ones. I have no real place to quilt so it's hard for me to get anything done.
..my ex..now deceased .. was a packrat.. when he moved out.. I asked him to take his shit of course he didnt.. the judge had an order at the divorce that he had to get his crap out of my house or it was then mine to do with as I wanted.. well then he passed away so Im stuck with all this crap.. he saved everything.. after he died.. I got a shipment of coats.. yes COATS ... there were a dozen freaking coats he had purchased b/f he passed away.. oh and I didnt mention the shipment of HATS he ordered.. dozens of caps.. it goes on and on.. UGH..
Boring day. I kept thinking it was Sunday. The day had that sort of feel to it. It's 97 degrees here and that is horrible. Most of the windows are puttied shut on the house. The real effort goes into keeping out the cold and wind. When it's hot, everyone is kind of lost. Will play the fiddle with some people down in Boulder tomorrow. Haven't played the thing in public since since about 1994. Been practicing and sweating from the heat all day.
.
I have more shit than I know what to do with.. and Ive been trying to purge .. and Ive been doing it off and on for months.. I still have so much crap .. I'll never be rid of it all..
Yard sale.
I had one of those. He had a 4 bedroom house with little paths. After he died his nephew came with his wife to work on cleaning the place out. He opened the kitchen door to the garage to look for the battery charger and his wife exclaimed, "I thought you said there was a car in here". There was, two of them. Couldn't see either of them. He kept stacks of old school desks in the back yard. I guess he had a twin brother who was the same way.
Open a thrift shop.

Nice that you were to the point. If it helps I am looking at dealing with six quarelling children of my recently deceased father in law who transferred $100,000 to her account ten days before he died. I is not going to be pretty or fun. Like reading and understanding Louisiana legal documents????? It is Louis the fourteenth kinda stuff. Completely designed to bamboozle the non lawyers.

..I'd rather pitch it.. Ive given more stuff away to St. Vincents.. TONS .. Ive had weeks on garbage day ..the crap tossed out in front of my house, looked like the WTC wreckage there was so much shit.. I still have tons!
LOL! One of my friends had to go clean after her parents passed. She found a drawer full of used batteries. Got to wonder about that one.
..hell I have a drawer full of those myself. :P
.. I could..good idea..I have tons of tools.. I had 4 cars of his to get rid of.. thankfully Im now down to 1 truck.. I can give ya a good deal if you need a truck..
I don't have a/c so I feel for ya. Cool! Wish I could hear it.
A match works real well!
Laughing my ass off.......... I can kinda sew like sails and boots and compound fractures....

Oh gawd.. nothing worse than that crap.. thank gawd Im an only child.. dealing with two deaths in the last 8 or 9 months was not fun.. if I had to deal with that Id want to eat a bullet..
Insurance fire?
Cooked a ham today but got some 20 count shrimp in the freezer for a day soon to come.

Hmmm, will it pass CA smog? Out of state stuff and be expensive to import.
That't the problem here. No a/c anywhere. The place isn't set up for heat. It's going to be miserable from now until the end of August. There is a river here where they do white water rafting. Really swift with huge rocks and stuff. Evey0one was swimming in it today. I was surprised. I always thought it would be too dangerous, but no one seemed to have a problem.
.
I absolutely HATE sewing.. my mother was an excellent seamstress.. I used to think holy gawd in heaven I'd rather lose an eye than do that shit...
LOL! You don't know how many times I have said that and for the very same reason!
I had no desire to ever deal with any of that...poor as church mice parents didn't leave anything; and I don't have kids. Anything I have left will go to cats.
..hell I dont know.. it's a Dodge Dakota.. 4X .. selling it for 2k under blue book..
Craig's list!
..my mother's estate isnt settled yet.. on that I am glad Im an only child :P .. I have 2 kids.. thank goodness they've been a God send really.. helped me a lot thru some very trying times..
.. good idea.. I have to be rid of this damned thing.. the insurance is costing me and its not being driven.. so I have to get rid of it soon...
Can't say that about my cats, although I have saved a fortune in college tuition...
Plan ahead!
