Good morning everyone. Connie, I’m really sorry for your loss...thinking of you and Lynda's friends. Oh my goodness Hagatha, you certainly have daily challenges. And like Mad notes...they usually occur on the weekends! Kimchi and Avocado Quesadillas sounds quite tasty OldBroad. Ah, sounds like hubby didn't get a vote on what to keep Draclvr.

Hope your afternoon is kind to you everyone

Extremely sorry to hear about your friend, Connie

I too would like to add my condolences for your friend, Connie. She sounds like a terrific person who carried on valiantly right up to the end. Bless her.

Connie, sorry for your loss.

Research notes I can see! But doctor appointment summaries for appointment that happened 4 years ago??? He is a serious hoarder and simply cannot throw anything away, no matter how useless it is. There is a pile of old garden hoses that have actually gone rotten after laying in a one foot tall pile for 15 years in a shed. They are likely full of snakes and other critters and utterly useless. But will he throw them away? Nope! Classic hoarder.

My brother-in-law in Southampton has become a hoarder in his old age. He looked after his parents for decades and after his mother died, he and his father couldn't cope with basic filing and sorting and the place filled up over the years. John used to go across the pond every year and clean up as much as he could in two weeks. I can just imagine what the place looks like now.

True hoarding is serious. When I was managing a rental portfolio my resident managers used to show me the hoarder apartments. All the piled up paper becomes a serious fire hazard, and the weight can bring down a floor. Sadly, even if they can be convinced to clean up a bit, they backslide very quickly. We always ended up having to evict to protect the other renters.

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready.

Connie I am so sorry to hear of your good friend Lynda's passing. My prayers go out to you and her family. Draclvr my hubby never could throw anything out. I have a barn, garden shed, garage, over the garage storage, basement, etc. filled with so much I don't know where to begin! I wish I could wave a magic wand and it would all be gone!

Enjoy your day everyone!

Gerry

I have a very hard time throwing anything out also. I hate trying to go through papers to figure out what I should or want to keep and I do have some boxes of them that I would someday like to shred but it just never gets done - ever. I have two shredders, neither of which has ever made it out of their boxes. I was proud of myself that I threw out some old plastic containers over the last six weeks or so from one of my kitchen cabinets. I couldn't reach some of the stuff even standing on a chair so it's still there. Two shelves, three sessions.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Thank you for the prayers and thoughts. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Tuesday morning. Sunny and cold, but supposed to be near 90 degrees F on Thursday!

oldbroad, that's what is suggested if you want to declutter. Just pick one shelf or one tabletop or one corner of a room and tackle it. Then pick another corner or box and tackle that. Or maybe just get one shredder out of the box and plug it in. Shredding paper is very satisfying - I could do it all day! These days, there is virtually no paperwork that needs to be kept for more than a year. We keep important documents like wills, marriage certificates, birth certificates, deeds etc., in a safe deposit box in the bank.

Good morning everyone.

Not much happening here. The Dell service tech should be here some time today. I hope he can fix the laptop as it is deteriorating and I didn't budget for a new one this year. I need to photocopy my tax documents and I can't do that right now.

No walk today. We’re back into rain.
