My life isn't all excitement!
I went through every cupboard and closet today, and threw out every useless thing I own.
It's a liberating experience, I am sort of a minimalist, and honestly think owning too much stuff is oppressive. I threw away repair manuals and auto parts for cars I no longer own, lots of paperback books, free AOL disks, bank statements and papers, accounting books from college, lots of broken and obsolete electronics, shoes that are worn out or uncomfortable. I ended up with a cubic yard of crap that cost $10 to dump.
I have tendencies to accumulate junk, but realize and resist the impulse, unlike people I won't mention. I didn't throw out any clothes, but I did, following the sound advice of my dear friend, the lovely Miss Joan Crawford, throw away all my wire clothes hangers.
It would have been more correct to sort out things that other people might have wanted, but I don't have the time or patience, and literally backed up a truck and swept through the house, room by room, and got rid of things. But don't cry for me, I still have two extra home computers, a hundred books, an extra cordless phone I have to test, a broken oscilloscope, three battery chargers, Spanish and Russian home study courses,and .69 caliber flintlock pistol.

Well, at least I stopped buying things already, so all the junk around is junk that I just have to get rid of, not newly accumulated stuff.

I keep thinking of looking for a place that might be interested in grabbing them off my hands because it still seems like such a waste to throw all those old Starlog magazines out. There might be some weird sci-fi fanatic hunting around for back issues.
I haven't started to look yet though, but the magazines aren't exactly in a place that bothers me right now since they're nicely packed away in a drawer.

Ah, but then again, there are always used book places where they can be sold at there in the States, right?

shes defiantly lezbo though AND i think she had her children with a turkey baster.
Happy Valentine's Day Robby!!
My granddaughter, she's stubborn. But she said she had a dream about you - you sent her a rose. Don't tell her I told you, okay? You're a nice boy Robby. Are you still with that nice lady, Celeste?
Love,
Your Special Gramma
P.S. - Robby, can you do me a favor and give me a cigarette? And a Milky Way Bar too. Remember, don't tell my granddaughter I talked to you. She'll get mad at me.

It's so nice to hear from you. You look wonderful in the white dress and tiara. I'd like to give to two kisses, one to keep, and one to pass on to your grandaughter.
I have secret dreams also, and here is one of my fondest dreams for you and yours:
When at last my dreams come true
Darling this I know
Happiness will follow you
Everywhere you go
WHO IS THAT GIRL?
(okay i already have two, but i need an ego boost.)
