International shipping of concrete blocks ---> I'm sure it costs next to nothing. :handshake:




Speaking of objects with many characteristics of a living thing ---> a barbecue. I christened (inaugurated ??) the new barbecue yesterday and I realized I have a long period ahead of me, learning its tendencies, quirks and reactions.
 
Just when I thought I was out . . .

I find more stuff to chuck

Regarding my keyboard dilemna, it has come to the best possible conclusion. My sister is taking it for my nephew to have around when that first musical curiosity strikes. Not sure when that might begin - it is probably a bit advanced for him right at this second - but when the time comes, Uncle Mudcat can demonstrate and guide him as much as he desires into his musical future.

Excellent outcome on multiple levels.

:up:
 
Gonna chuck a bunch of files. Like everything else here before I got started with the chucking project, I have been stuffing them away since I moved here. I have all my statements going back to 2004.

Prolly don't need those.

I guess I'll have to find some kind of shredding place ???

I had a shredder but I chucked it. Not that I would want to sit here and shred all this stuff a couple pages at a time even I still had that shredder.

There must be shredding places out there, I'm thinking.
 
I need to chuck a bunch of comic books and baseball cards I bought for investment.

Also I bought a box of old newspapers from a family chucking thier dead fathers stuff... $10 into 100 already on ebay. Mostly NY Islanders front pages.
 
Today I am going to chuck an imprint of Macy Dog's paw that was given/sold? to us when Macy passed last April. It is nothing special. There is no name plate or anything....really you can't tell what it is. I have no idea what/if this cost anyting, but I'm getting rid of it. Too much stuff and there is no reason to have this around imo. I keep looking at it seeing if it will cause any sort of emotional reaction. None. Chucked.
 
I remember them trying to sell me one of those when I had Muddy euthanized. I declined, knowing that I have many, many pics of her and at least one vid.

Can't remember the exact asking price. Well over $100 anyway.

No regrets over that. I think I could foresee a future chucked item there.
 
4 giant boxes chucked up and ready to go to donation center. Does it count as chucking if you are giving it to a charity...what is the strict interpretation of chucking? I threw away a lot of things too but not nearly as much as I am boxing up and dropping off. For some reason I think of chucking as throwing away/garbage etc.
 
I need some motivation here. I am on another chucking mission today. Mom must have saved every card ever given to her, and there are a lot...probably well over 600 or more. Many of them are from her 80th birthday, many sympathy cards from dad's passing. They sit in different baskets around the house.

I would always try to get her to look thru them, to try to spark a memory, but that is just not happening anymore. Why would I feel guilty in getting rid of these? I am saving most from family, but trying to chuck the rest today. Why do I feel guilty about this and should I? They mean nothing to her anymore and less to any of us kids.
