Spring Cleaning

Ok so it's no longer spring officially or otherwise - I get that. But still the cleaning needs doing and entropy knows no season.

I did however discover a few treasures:

1) my new friend who just retired from the school where I work (two ships passing in the night tooting their horns at each other and wondering what if we'd both been docked at the same time) turned me onto freecycle - an amazing organization that quite simply puts folks together on the net (as if they aren't there already anyway) and follows the basic 'your junk is their treasure' philosophy as well as the more fundamental underlying principle of keeping said "junk" from the landfills by putting them to use where they are needed within the local community. It's amazing to see what people put out there to be taken away for free - and it is equally amazing what people ask for (and often seem to get). Weed wackers, old school laptops (but working), et cetera et cetera.

2) Picard action figure from the Nemesis movie which I refuse to acknowledge as a legit part of canon ST - which was posted up and gone the next day. amazing!

3) Foodsaver rolls - posted up and asked for many times over within a matter of hours. Apparently them rolls are quite useful for a lot of folks.

4) Not only have a created myself a nicely evolving system - but it works! And is sustainable from what I can tell so far. Woo hoo. :)

5) I CAN and will and _have_ thrown stuff away! Wow - how freeing indeed. Seriously though - just applied the Stare at it, Decide if it has current relevance, Consider any possible future relevance within certain parameters and Toss or Store accordingly. Or smth like that. :)
