Anybody want a genuine Wyoming Jackalope?

But thanks anyway B

I hear ya. When my dad died in '96, it took eons to sort through everything. He would leave stuff on the kitchen counter. When the pile got too big, my mom would put if off to the side on the floor. Once there were several piles, it'd go into a grocery bag and stuffed into the hall closet. Sorting through hundreds of these bags was so tedious. It went so far back that we found cancelled cheques (checks) from 1954.

In 2016 DH & I cleaned out my mom's house for her to sell. The worst job was cleaning out her 2 huge chest freezers...I mean those things were enormous (you could have hidden at least 4 bodies in each one). Apparently she never thought to rotate stuff, by the time we got to the bottom of the freezers we were pitching green beans from their garden they had put up in 1976. Yummy!

How are you doing Sharron? Got that bug bite situation under control, I hope?

Yeah, you probably have access to as many of them as you like since you live in Wyoming.

You could still tell they were green beans?

 

[Blooie]

I was wondering that too but feeling too polite to ask!

Wish I could have your urologist, Diva. Mine isn’t very personable and he’s too abrupt to really listen....feels like he’s already got an answer stuck in his head and just waiting out the question, whether the pre-programmed answer fits or not. The only reason I even see him is because I have to renew my catheter prescriptions annually.

Now that Grand Lodge is over and we are done, I have a lot of “catch up” appointments to make. I’m 8 months late with the cardiologist, I have to get into the podiatrist’s office soonest since I can’t even stand the bedcovers on my toes, my PAD needs a recheck, and I’ve put off doing something with my back for far too long. I don’t even know where to start. Shoot, aside from the feet I’m managing...l have half a mind to tell Ken and my primary to stuff it and just go in when I have an issue.

Man, I hope I didn’t jinx Richard by mentioning the antibiotics working for him!!

Nah, no bad jinx here, only good jinx here.... Goodness, missed your post on Kendra. Glad she's doing well... except for a large seizure. Grandma knows what to do for her, she's blessed to have you. I feel bad that she needs to be on all of those different meds. though... Sounds like she's doing well with them.. Letting you know she has to go! Cath time. Cute!

I remember that from going through Ken’s Dad’s stuff when we moved him him out here so I could take care of him. It was Ken, me, Linda, Russ, Lori, Steve, Ron, Bev and Tammy cleaning out Spike’s apartment - apartment, not house - and it still took us 3 days. I’ve reminded Ken of that time and time again - our kids don’t want any of that junk, anymore than Ken wanted his Dad’s. The garage, the storage unit (8x12), his side of the bedroom closet, and now my sewing camper look just like his office. And I haven’t made a dent in it today. Example: In 2001 the Masons of Lovell started a motorcycle raffle. In January of 2002, the winner was drawn, and the bike delivered. Wanna buy some raffle tickets? We still have 200 of them left - the printer made an error so we couldn’t use those tickets and had to reprint all new ones to sell. Yep. Like that.

I just now told him that I’m contacting the town, having a double dumpster plunked down in the driveway, and if we fill it ten times then we fill it 10 times, but this crap has got to go. Period.

I’m sure he’ll resume speaking to me tomorrow - or the next day.

We filled 4 or 5 dumpsters cleaning out my Aunt's 2 bedroom condo, and still had to hire a truck to move her furniture when she moved to be closer to my parents many years ago. Mom would distract her while I threw stuff out. Then we had to do it all over again when she passed away. Sigh. Goodwill got a lot of stuff too.
