I think the ones back in PA took about 30% generally......
Just dump that stuff sooner rather than later, I waited until the last minute then said "What the Heck am I doing with All This STUFF???" Reference the "It has begun thread", then I got crazy labeling everything in the house with stickies and it just got kind of plain, well, ugly.

LOL, I don't want to keep but a minimum of our stuff. Like so many we have accumulated a lot over the years and it's just plain ridiculous. I can't wait to get rid of it, I feel like it's a stone around my waist weighting me down.

Seriously, it doesn't get that cold in October does it? I can't tell if that was sarcasm or serious. I'm going with sarcasm until verified by others. If you are serious Starlite I guess I'll be making the greatest warmest fleece costumes in the history of Halloween.

Good news today, my mom is moving with us. She's taking an early retirement. Wooohooo! She's lived with us for the past two years and she wasn't sure she wanted to go but now she's completely on board with the move and excited as much as we are.

I finally read through all of the "It has begun thread." Great read. I actually laughed out loud, especially when the ladies were talking about power tools. I thought I was rather unusual seeing as how all the tools we own belong to me. I've asked for tools and tool boxes for Christmas many many times. Thankfully my dad knows all the good brands and must haves.

I was wondering how many nurses or former nurses are on here? Seems there may be a few. Who knows, I could end up working in the same hospital with one or two.

He he he, now why would a guy be nervous over a lady owning a few dangerous sharp scary tools? It boggles the mind.
