George Carlin did a really funny skit on people and their stuff.

Good morning DMC as of right now she's got a helper, but the helper says she's quitting soon. So only time will tell.

Hopefully a replacement comes quick!

Good morning DMC!

Good afternoon Sean!

Yes I'm still liking it. Some days are more than a little frustrating, but then that's why work is a four letter word. The most difficult and frustrating task I have is to train the person who trained me, how to do things correctly. I spent months cleaning up the messes she made and then went external to find folks to teach me how not to make the mess. They've recently transitioned me into a new role which includes being her mentor.

Good grief!

Just in case you thought I was kidding..and I’m posting full sized to give you the joys of the full effect. <sigh>

The closet in his office - he had to take the doors off because it is so overflowing.

The kitchen. One half is mine from the plant to the far right in the photo - check out his half.

That white cabinet holds my mixing bowls, measuring cups, pie pans, etc. I have to ask him to move out of his chair every time I need something. The box is full and overflowing with “important” papers. There are even papers on the hutch part.

And the office, in all it’s gory glory.

This is insane!

I just quit on someone whose house looked like that in every room, except there was filth on top of it all. I feel like a jerk but when you can’t find the broom through the mess there’s a problem. At least your hubby’s is clean clutter.

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.

You make me laugh Blooie even though I know you’re serious.

When my Dad passed we spent 4 months looking at every paper in his office. He clearly had dementia, there was no order to anything. We never did find the land deeds.

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.

Evening folks... So sorry I've been off the last couple days. Today, I got to say good bye to my uncle, who is much more like my elder brother. He's been fighting stomach cancer for a couple of years and it's finally won. I don't know if I have days, weeks or months left but I'm going to lose him regardless. Knowing this is the inevitable simply doesn't help.
