Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for May 13, 2014

The only viable way to Really get rid of stuff is to make a cross-country move…the more you leave behind, the cheaper the moving van… ;)

To park the car?

The only sure way to know if you need something, is to throw it out, and wait a week.

Wish I had a garage.

We have a garage yet I cannot park in daughter has hers in as we cannot afford to replace sunroof incase of hail. Not full two car garage.

I keep my car outside during summer and in garage during winter (so I don’t need to scrape it each morning). It was pretty amazing result, packing a garage full of chaos so that the car would actually fit in.

A 3 car garage would be useful (if you can afford it). 2 bays for the cars, and 1 bay for the stuff.

I’m afraid not Alex.

“Double standard still lives”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As it has and always will, even at the PhD level.I always wanted to have a peek at James MIchener’s ‘work-area!’

I gave the Vanity Fair with Sarah Silverman’s “cover” picture of “young starlets” to the library. I’ve been sorry ever since. Seehttp://www.vanityfair.com/online/oscars/2012/12/exclusive-sarah-silverman-young-hollywood

Yay. I’ve been meaning to look that up for ages!

The second most important reason for having a basement — storage (oh, the first is for having someplace to go when the tornado siren sounds off once every 5 – 10 years).

Two words: Storage unit!
