Did you find my copy of Ultima III when you were going through that old software? I still have the map!

Wow. Looks like I need to do that with my parents house here in Georgia. But I need to get unpack and start getting rid of papers and junk slowly as my mom is a packrat of papers and stuff. Then I will have room for my toys! :-)

Car seats, while undonate-able, are possibly freecycle-able. We have been using freecycle for outmoded computer parts, toddler gear (someone was thrilled to run off with our old potty seats), and other items that no one else will take.

John: "any chance you'll clean out the second spot in your garage?"No chance. The second half of the garage has all of the kids' bikes, recycle bins, garbage can, 32' extension ladder and my bike. The car can wait. In the rain.John: "Nice mask, by the way. Your neighbors probably thought the Avian Flu had arrived."The little girl who came to my door selling cookie dough was cautious when I signed up for a batch, but clearly wanted to make the sale. It's probably a good thing her parents weren't around.Susan: Any weekend that starts with a hazmat suit just has to get better. Oh, a new blog tagline ;-)Woodstock:"I probably should have warned you that roll-off dumpsters only come in one size: fracking huge."I was impressed at its hugeness. Even better was they came out at 9 a.m. on the dot to pick it up.Ted: "52,000 tablespoons"Times thirteen. It's more mulch than I knew what to do with (other than piling it thick.)

OK, do you have any idea who put the dumpster there???

where’d you get the respirator?

btw, 1 yard = 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet = 201 gallons. So think of 4 50 gallon drums, or 40 5-gallon buckets, or nearly 52,000 tablespoons.

Nothing sexier than a hazmat suit and an EPA-approved breather mask, I’ll tell you what. ;-)

I probably should have warned you that roll-off dumpsters only come in one size: fracking huge. They make tiny-little ones for city use but they’re hard to come by. Good for you on the cleaning. You’ve inspired me. It’s too bad we only have one recycling container, though. It’s gonna take forever to dump five years worth of back-issues of PC World and Magazine.

But think of it this way, you clean out the rest of the garage, it’s more room for bike gear, or possibly kyaks.

Ya know… Any weekend that starts with a hazmat suit just has to get better. I think I read that on a bumper sticker. Poor mice. Now they have to start all over again.

While you’ve got the ol’dumpster there, any chance you’ll clean out the second spot in your garage? Your car will thank you…

Nice mask, by the way. Your neighbors probably thought the Avian Flu had arrived.
