Don' t mess with old people and their garden sheds...
Comments (7)That's too funny. But I learned, when something like that happens to make sure to tell the police that you aren't sure if the people are armed. If they think that someone could get hurt, they come right away....See MoreSitting Here waiting for people to pick up my Free Stuff-
Comments (12)Maybe some people pick stuff up they don't really need to sell, but I'm happy, I get the clutter picked up, they get the stuff or money from selling it. Everyone is happy. Me, too! I figure, fishermen harvest the fish that swim in the stream/river/ocean. Why shouldn't people harvest the junk stream? Bcs if you don't want it, that's what it is--junk. Also, it takes a lot of work to turn that stuff into money.It doesn't just instantly transform--someone has to make sure it's in good repair, figure out where they can sell it, cart it around, photograph it and write eBay entries, store it while they're waiting, figure out how to deliver it. That's effort--the people who do that should be compensated for their time, energy, creativity, etc. And I'm not willing to do that work. Why should I benefit? And why should I begrudge someone their labor? "The laborer is worth his wages." RyseRyse, have you thought about contacting a charity thrift shop in one of the bigger towns? They might come out for a whole BUNCH of stuff, if you had a way to save it up, out of the way until they were ready. But you know what? Don't feel bad about trashing it. It's all going to end up in the trash pile -eventually-; It's only a matter of whether it does good or evil along the way. You're sending it there before it can do a lot of evil (to you)....See MoreDon't wait to long to visit cancer friends
Comments (13)The one thing that you can always tell the person you are visiting is how much they mean to you...Back in the days when we thought I was going to die, the number of friends and family that visited and told me how much they cared about me was shocking..even our children...I always knew the our children loved me but my husbands children who had only been in my life for some 20 something years, made an extra effort to show their love for me and to even tell me how much I meant to them and how much having me in there lives had mean't to them...When you don't know if you have another month it's important to know that you have made an impact so I say don't be hesitant to visit or to share how you feel...I actually had to start taking anti depressants because my emotions were so raw... They went from saying a quick ..."Love Ya" to "Ruthie I Love you so much"...Yes they call me Ruthie...They were way to old to start calling me Mom and their real Mom would have had a coming unglued if she had ever heard them call me that so we just stuck with Ruthie which they started calling me when they met me..Even some of the Grands call me Ruthie for the same reason...that GrandMother would just cause them too much grief and I don't want that for them and Ruthie is fine for me....
