Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
I like your suggestions. It’s so time consuming to do this. Grrrrrr.
I love your file idea. I was afraid that someone would say to scrapbook. I never jumped on the scrapbooking train! A file doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. plus it doesn’t require a ton of effort and is space saying as well.
Thanks! So, I will have to learn to condense what I have but I know that I will be glad that I did.
The family heirlooms are hard because they are irreplaceable, my advice there is to USE them someway, I've pulled all the quilts from my cedar chest and have them displayed in my rec room. (Nobody sees them but me but at least they aren't hidden away!)
I've got the top of my parent's wedding cake, the traditional bride and groom (I may still have sis's too). It was always on display in their china cupboard and I just couldn't toss it when I was clearing out the house.
Our real estate agent has given us homework! She has said that we have to clear out the closets because people like to envision placing their belongings in the space.
I am finding stuff from so long ago that I forgot I even had. Plus, I must be a sentimental fool. LOL 😆, because I have so much stuff packed in boxes from my kids! I can’t believe that I saved all of this! I have from preschool to graduation! I have every certificate, honor roll certificates, awards for this and that, trophies galore, volleyball trophies, swimming awards, dance stuff, gymnastics, art and theater! What do I do with it all? Should I offer it to my girls or pitch it? It’s crazy to keep everything! Oh my gosh, I was crying going down memory lane, thinking about how cute they were! Is anyone else as nutty as I am and saved everything pertaining to their kids?
I am a huge music lover! Okay, my new car doesn’t have a CD player. So, all of my CDs were in my closet, all of the kids Disney movies. I don’t even own a recorder anymore to play the movies on, so why on earth did I keep them?
I like a neat house so it all ended up in my closets! Don’t even get me started in photos!
Once all of the crap goes, I swear I am never going to stash anything in my closet again. I didn’t know where to put it all. It’s now in one of my spare bedrooms! I thought my agent was nuts telling me to get a dumpster and a storage unit. She knows what she was talking about!
Some things I don’t know what to do with. I have my grandmother’s crochet and knitting books. She gave me her sewing machine that she bought from a door to door salesman. I have my great aunt’s tea set that we shared many cups of tea with. Memories! But I can’t keep it all!
Did any of you keep the top of your wedding cake? I chose ‘wedding bells’ because I hated the dorky looking bride and groom toppers! Hahaha
My mind is on overload. It was so much easier to move when I was single, young and broke! LOL I hardly had anything to move. It’s a good thing too, because I could only afford tiny apartments!
You're gonna have snot.
You shoulda have bought
A stockpile of kleenex to go
Along with excessive t.p.
For the broadway show.
But if you can play dead,
Or just hide in your bed
You won't get Covid, instead
The vaccine will get you
in the end.
Love from Send.
That works! It’s a combo tune! LOL Your own unique melody.
If it’s a book title, please let us know when the movie comes out! I will stand in line for that one! Hey, at least now I get a ‘senior’ discount at the movie theater!
Then Broadway! 🤣 hahaha
May I play the lead role. I took drama in school. Want to hear something funny? I actually did play a part where I was shot dead! I had to learn how to fall and not get hurt. I was furious because my drama teacher told the rest of my class to pick the lightest kid in the class to be killed, because they had to be carried off the stage. I was it! I only weighed a little over 90 lbs. I was only 96 lbs when I graduated high school.
I knew you had it in you! Brilliant!
Please share more on the open forum, you rock n' roll!
Thanks for the laughs everybody~
Joke, it's just a joke. Not about me.
You must be thinking of Guns N' Roses, and all the weed they had. Lol.
😂 🤣😆, I can’t decide if (Guns and Free Weed and All I Got was a Sore Arm!) sounds like a rock, blues or country tune! Thanks for the laugh, too funny!!! Either way, it’s a song or book title! I think that you may have a best seller on your hands. You could top the charts!
I shake my head.🤪

Completely full moon with clouds floating by. Sort of eerie looking like something out of an Edgar Allen Poe poem!
Oh well..☺
Flower moon
blood moon is @ 100%,
and .....
in a few hours, a total lunar eclipse!
So sorry that this happened to your little guy, CW!
