Cleaning...

Post by Rkolter »

...

Who would have thought I'd find THREE computers while cleaning up our home for the cookout? I was only missing two...

And I found my autographed picture of the entire Sesame Street cast.

Ooohhh. And I found a ring with a 4 carat ruby in it. I remember making this a long time ago.

It's amazing what you can find if you look through your mounds and mounds of stuff too valuable to throw away but not valuable enough to sort and catagorize.

Haha, cool. Whenever I clean I don't find anything that awesome. I just find old knickknacks that bring back embarassing memories from my childhood.

The last time I "cleaned" out my closet I found a box of half eaten girl scout cookies from 1994. :oops:

I gave up about half way through, and haven't really gone in there since. :roll:

I just have photos upon photos upon photos, most of them still in the paper envelope you get from the developer. (This was in the time Before Digital, of course.) And clothes that don't fit. And CDs that no used record place will take (hi, Alanis; what's up, Third Eye Blind?).

Send it all to me! I have a crawlspace I'm renting to a friend, and would love to see him scratch his head when extra stuff starts turning up in there!

I found some batrachian horrors, non-euclidean figures, and what I can only surmise to be a gateway to a realm of incomprehensible madness.

Considering I only moved in last year, I doubt I'll find any long lost treasure. :wink:

Actually, your short ime of residence pretty much triples the chances that there's some kind of secret passageway that the previous owner was unaware of.

If anybody finds some body parts, souls, or human refuse while cleaning, please send it all to me. My supplies have been dwindling lately.
Haughty spirit and pride make for a wild roller coaster ride!
I mean, as long as you like fairly final endings.

Aw damn, you say this after I've already sent all the stuff (from when I cleaned my room a month ago) to the Salvation Army.
Oh well... next time, gadget....

Update - just found an empty box of blasting caps.

... I don't remember using them all. :-?
