WTG, Landi! I am very proud for you!!! Next time, to avoid the washing of the dishes, check your local newspaper for a leftover roll of newsprint. I've never been charged more than $25 for the roll (and rarely that more than $20). Just a thought for the future.

Yahoo! There is going to be a free shredding set-up on Saturday, September 25th at a car lot. I am going to try to find a ride to this event--being able to shread 300 pounds of papers (10 boxes, weighing 30 pounds) for free is just way too cool! Now to get the rest of the papers done before Saturday. Sometimes I love deadlines--they definitely get me motivated!

Shining the sink seems to be the ideal advice for keeping the kitchen together! Landi, I can hardly wait for you to post some pictures of your new home once you are unpacked and all. Lk, what a concept! Free shredding? I would absolutely love that. I did take my shredder out of its box and found a permanent home for it so that I can shred whenever the need arises. It helps a lot, but when going through an entire box or two of old papers, the free shredding would be the ticket. Speaking of old papers...I have been lost in my grandmother's letters saved through a lifetime. She has also saved all the letters that she inherited from her mother who saved all her letters, too. The thing is that some of these letters are fascinating! We really are perplexed as to what to do with them. Any suggestions besides packing them back away and saving them for the next generation? I get to be "lost" again tomorrow and Friday as the rest of the family makes another 150 mile trek to gather more in. Yikes! Take care, All!

Vee: Las Vegas is having MAJOR identity theft issues, so the local NBC affliate and one of the shredding companies have teamed up twice where there are large parking lots (both times so far have been car lots) to do their part of stopping identity theft. I have managed to secure transportation to the event, so I will be able to have the boxes shredded for free. I am so thrilled! I am going to take a quick look, and make sure nothing fell in by mistake, but I plan to add to the boxes before Saturday. That will clear out the area to which I plan to move the kitchen table, so, then I can hopefully get the baskets and boxes stacked against the wall in preparation for hopefully getting shelves to put my craft stuff on. In the meantime, I'll just be doing creative stacking. Vee: I would contact a university archival department for suggestions.

Vee--or maybe a local or state historical society. Both types of places are interested in such things. University archives usually only house things pertaining to the university. Your letters would be of interest to them if there is a university collection. A state or county historical society would be very appropriate. In Illinois, we have IRADs (Illinois Regional something Depository--or something like that) these ARE housed at the university libraries and are used by historians and geneologists for research. Check to see what is in your area. PS....were any of your relatives teachers in a one-room school? or attended a one-room school? If so *I* would be interested in their papers!

I don't think so, Schoolmarm, but I'll keep my eyes peeled. Most of these letters were written between Gloucester, Massachusetts and Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Interestingly, or maybe not , Gloucester and Hopewell Cape (near Moncton) had an active intermarriage thing going on because of the fishing and shipping lanes. That's how my great-great grandmother from Hopewell Cape wound up marrying a Gloucester fisherman. Thank you for your suggestions, I will suggest contacting the Gloucester Historical Society to my grandmother and see how it flies...probably like a lead balloon at this point. But it is a shame to be selfish with some of this especially since this letter writer was providing such vivid detail of life in Gloucester from 1885 through 1927. Gotta share this one little item written by my grandmother's mother to her mother about my grandmother who was then a girl of eighteen. She said, "..... is a girl like most others, too interested in her clothes." Thought that was a funny and true observation; and it's still true of my grandmother today! Sorry for hijacking the Home and Organization thread...by the way, somewhere, someone, perhaps Landi, mentioned how wonderful the Mr. Clean eraser thingies are. I picked one up yesterday and I just love it. There, I've done my good deed for today. Happy fluttering everybody. Wish that Spinner wasn't so out straight and that Purple was around and that Lumbele would get back home!

Mr. Clean eraser is great! I dumped out at least 40 boxes yesterday and we have about 8 more today. You can now walk all around and the floors are clean in the Dining room, Living room, Kitchen, Bathrooms, Laundry room and two of the bedrooms. The Den, Piano room and upstairs attic/closet and downstairs coat closet are stuffed to the gills, and "unliveable" The one bedroom is still cluttered, but you can walk in it. We're getting more cleared out rooms. There is only one more load of boxes at my parents. I have a pile of about 30 boxes in the garage to go through. Probably about 150 more to go through.

Yesterday was a Sabbat for me, so I was spending a lot of time in reflection. Mabon (pronounced MAY-bun, MAY-bone, MAH-boon, or MAH-bawn) is considered a time of the Mysteries. It is a time to honor Aging Deities and the Spirit World. Considered a time of balance, it is when we stop and relax and enjoy the fruits of our personal harvests, whether they be from toiling in our gardens, working at our jobs, raising our families, or just coping with the hustle-bustle of everyday life. It is a day that I've treated as a Day of Thanksgiving--sort of a practice run for November--and it was nice to be able to open up a jar of my homemade cranberry sauce, my last until cranberries come in this year. Today, unfortunately, I'm flaring like crazy. I woke up this morning and could barely bend or stretch--anything involving my back muscles was off-limits. Tomorrow, tho, I am back at it. I am reading a very interesting book that has earned a permanent keeper spot right next to FlyLady's Sink Reflections: Spiritual Housecleaning: Healing the Space Within by Beautifying the Space Around You by Kathryn L. Robyn ($12.95). I am learning a lot about myself. In addition to discussing cleaning/home-keeping, there are assignments to do and things upon which to reflect. As the author says: "Each chapter will be roughly divided into three sections. One part will talk about the meaning of the area of the house in terms of sacred spacr. A second will take you through a thorough cleaning of it, healing the space. And the third will lead you through ways to let it heal you." I'm reading through first without doing the exercises, then going back and taking time with the answers--that gives my brain to process the answers more fully.

I'm going to be looking for that book, Lk. I notice that Victor Hanson and the other guy(?) who write the "Chicken Soup" books say that before a big change, i.e., a new job, a baby arriving, a move, etc., one must clear the house of the areas that show up on an "I'm dissatisfied with this" list. Hopefully, that's what I've been doing these past few months...getting ready to move on with my life. I have a problem that I hope someone may know something about. I can't find a mop that I like. I used to purchase string mops that came apart and could be washed, bleached, etc. They do not exist any more. I can't stand sponge mops; the Swiffer isn't heavy-duty enough. What are you guys using to mop up the floor?

Vee: I use a combination of things. After I sweep the floor, I look for bad spots and put full strength Simple Green on them. I give it 15-20 minutes to work, and then I use a scrubby sponge to see if it will break it up. It generally does. Then I do the Swiffer Wet Jet on the floor. I cleared out 300 pounds of paper at the free shredding yesterday. I borrowed a car from a friend, and Bill loaded the car with the boxes. When I got there (1 hour early) they directed me to an area to park. This other woman soon arrive, so we were chatting, waiting for the others. Then 3 Shred-Pro trucks showed up. We asked one of them if it would be possible for me to get some assistance (Potshot couldn't come: I couldn't open the trunk, and the back seat had 8 boxes nd the front seat had 2!) since I still had my cane and braces; the one guy said not a problem. He went and got what looked like a 45-gallon garbage container, complete with logging lid. He started dumping boxes--loose papers, papers in files, with binder clips, in accordion files, etc.--into the garbage can. He kept pressing down on it and pressing down on it, and managed to gram all 10 boxes in the one container. He then took it over to one of the trucks and weighed it (300 pounds) and then put it on the little machine lift which worked a little like a garbage truck. Up it went secured into place, the top slid open and the papers fell in in. The grinding/shredding noise was incredible. The lift came back down, and I verified that there were no papers left in the trash can. The whole shredding procedure (not including waiting time, driving time, or vehicle transfers): 15 minutes. Total time spent doing all of the other stuff: 2.5 hours. Financial cost: $6.29--$1.29 for a soda, and $5.00 for gas. I've started a new box. I see this happening again in about 6 weeks, and I plan on having a bow or three to at least take on the bus, if worse comes to worse. As I took the vehicle back to my friends house, I was able to ditch another 30 pounds for their church rummage sale. Today I cleared out 3 BBS, for a total of 82 pounds. I worked on the linen closet--had to pull out the linens, since the cats have been nesting and find a new way to store things. I have the floor space organized, 4 3-gallon water containers, 2 cat carriers, tools, and two sunshades (one for the window and one for the steering wheel) for vehicles; the second from the bottom shelf organized, space for 56 1/2 liter bottles from Sparklettes and a towel with hair dye on it cocooned for sleeping kitties (and yes, they sleep there); third shelf from the bottom, drinkables 24 24-ounce bottles of Pepsi (me) and 48 24-ounce bottles of Rock& Rye (DH), and most of my empty jars for canning/freezing. I'm short the ones I need, but now I know WHICH I need: the wide mouth pints and the wide mouth 1/2 pints; the fourth from the bottom still needs help, it has TP (45 rolls space), paper towels (8 roll space), tissues (8-12 boxes), battery rack, light bulbs (which I need more of); and then chaos. to address; and finally, the top shelf has my dehydrator, my pressure canner, and my water bath canner, but I am planning on bringing in the holiday decorations, and going through them AGAIN, and see if I can fit them into the shelf space available. And then, for better or worse, the linen closet will be complete. Last night, I did find my glass pumpkin, so I but the Halloween Trick or Treat goodies together and filled the covered jar. I spent $14.00 on them this year: $3.99 for these really cute cards (Product Number: 070916) and I assembled them using a quarter, instead of a nickle like last year. Potshot asked about the inflation--I told him I had 40 quarters, but I didn't have 40 nickles. My other order, a magnet calendar holder (Product #: 075385) also arrived, as did my extra stickers for the calendar. The same day, my FlyLady package arrived, with my calendar, extra stickers, and replacement copy of Sink Reflections. I hope the people who swiped the last two enjoyed them! So, I worked on the calendar a bit, and then hung it up on the back of the metal front door. It's so cool to be able to look over there and know exactly what is on tap. Tomorrow (Today) I have my monthly Doctor appointment. When I come home, I'll know whether or not our trip to Mystic is on. Regardless, I have a lot to do tomorrow, so I hope the trip isn't too horrible.

I guess I ought to make a record of all my major home improvements because I've thought of a few more to add to the list that I already posted here. I forgot about putting in the new panel box in the basement; installing a wall-mounted heater in the garage (someone gave it to me for free); and adding extra insulation in the attic crawl space. Plus had to fix the insulation that was already in the attic because it had been put in upside down! Vee: I have a Sh-Mop. It has removable terry cloth covers so you can wash them after each use. I've seen it in several catalogs - here's one source: Sh-Mop In addition to the terry covers and the Sh-Wooly, two types of duster covers are available for it.

Bless you, Calamity. I like the look of those! I just mopped my floor this evening with an O-Cedar that is a looped string mop; it was like mopping with a bowling ball. What a nuisance! Finally wound up cutting the looped strings and it was a bit better. Followed it up with the Swiffer, but I think your mop looks great! Thanks! Lk, is Sink Reflections a good investment? I'm thinking it must be if you've purchased a replacement copy. Does it provide more information than the website?

I had a Sh-Mop, and I liked it, it just became too hard for me to work with as my fibro becomes worse. What I like about Sink Reflections is that I can leave it places DH can find it and read it, or, I can read something and say, "Oh, I hadn't thought about that! Hey, Hon, listen to this..." or "Oh my gosh, what an idiot! I am so glad you aren't like the guy this woman wrote in about..." Does it provide more information? Probably not. On the other hand, since she removes info from the site--like good tip ideas from readers--it means having to save the email and then trying to find that specific email in my more than overflowing mailbox. It also allows me to write notes in the margin and make observations or changes to make it work for me. Since I won't be going to Mystic, I plan on getting a lot done this weekend. At least, I hope so. I'm discovering that a lot of my depression is based on frustration with the fibro. I get frustrated that I'm slower, that I can't do some things I used to and that I just unendingly HURT. I know this intellectually, but I'm not there emotionally yet.

Well, haven't you kids been busy little beavers. Way to go!!! Just caught up on some Flylady mail, and can only say it's a good thing (oops, that's Martha's, isn't it?) that she is going back to basics. DS housed around here on his own for a month and although he spent the day before our return cleaning until the wee hours, there'll be plenty left to do to get back to pre-holiday standards.LOL But this week I'll be taking it nice and easy. These last few months were quite active for me looking after Mum's household, doing some decluttering, picking/freezing/making jam with raspberries and blackberries, making elder berry and Josta jelly, as well as canning 130 jars of peaches and cooking up a few batches of peach marmelade. My parents bought and planted one peach tree, the other 12 popped up on their own. This was one of those peach floods that happen around there every 2-3 years and it had to be during the one I was available to can. ACK!!!!!!!! (Garden work has never been my bag) If I never see another peach it will definitely be too soon - and I used to like that fruit. With the peaches barely cooled in their nice new homes the pears made an appearance. Glad Mum doesn't care too much for those, so I just canned about 10 jars and egged others on to go pick the rest of them before she changed her mind. A week before leaving the walnuts started dropping like flies. In that garden it never stops, and Mum already gave most of the vegetable garden to her cleaning lady to plant for herself. Ah, the pleasures of living in Germany's most fertile area!!! - Not! Give me nice cool Canada anytime where I have an excuse for not planting too much! While over there I also stocked up on a cleaning product I have been using (and lugging back here in suitcases) for many years. It was one of the first fiber cloth things on the market, quite a bit more pricey than what you can find ont he North American market today but well worth it and long lasting. They make a new product for wood/laminate floors so I'll have to try that out. When I was in Germany for 3 months 2 years ago I quite enjoyed the "supper at noon" routine, but couldn't figure out how to make it work for us here with DS's crazy schedule - not that the guys would have been keen to change their routine anyway. However, this time they were with me and sort of enjoyed that themselves. DS's classes are still at inconvenient hours, but he can make it home at lunch 3 out of 5 days. For the other days I got some more Tupperware which is good for reheating. Can't tell you how much I enjoyed not having to worry about getting supper ready yesterday afternoon. My most productive times are in the morning.

Lumbele, how wonderful it is to have you back again and posting here! My grandparents always ate their largest meal at noon so I understand the concept. If it works for you, I'd say hang with it. That makes your evening routine that much easier and I've heard that it's better for digestion. Your description of the canning, etc., was just lovely. I can almost see the rows of jars all filled with yummy peaches and pears. Sounds as if your mother has an amazing garden. I wish I were so blessed, but I am sure that I would not appreciate the work involved with the harvest. I have never canned a thing in my life after watching my mother slave every August and September. She seems to enjoy it, but it doesn't look like fun to me! Love to eat it, however! I'm very intrigued by the German cleaning product that you brought home with you. Is there a website that one could visit to see what it is? Whenever I go to Canada, I head straight for the drugstore and stock up on things that we can't get here in the states so I can only imagine the wonders of Germany. Also, I love Coffee Crisps and MacIntosh toffee that we can't get here. Hope you find that your son did a better job than you suspect...somehow...maybe the elves came out last night and gave him an extra hand. Don't try to get caught up all at once now!

Thanks for sharing the ways you use Sink Reflections, Laurie. Very clever of you! If I were married, I believe I would do the very same things. Why do women always have to use little tricks? And, believe me, I agree that we do! One of my little tricks was to slap a pot of boiling water on the stove if I hadn't got supper going in time. My husband was such a stickler about supper being served within a few minutes of his arrival...funny thing was, his schedule was never the same so I never knew exactly when he was going to get home. Hence my little boiling water trick. I imagine that I would've done better if I had been a flutterer back then.

Thanks for the welcome home, Vee. And boy is it ever good to be back.LOL Whenever you need a Coffee Crisp/Toffee fix, just let me know. I'll send you a box full. For years my family would send me all those chocolate goodies that I couldn't get here, but now it is more expensive to mail than the value of the content that it just isn't worth it. So I get my fix whenever I am there and I can prove it by my waistline and skin, too. The cleaning product is called Ha-Ra. Looks like they are just starting a website. The strength of that product is in the fibre. What I also love about it is that it is environmentally safe and very effective. Before that I would wash my kitchen cabinets thouroughly every few month - with plenty of elbow grease. Now I do it as part of my weekly routine - effortlessly in 5 mins. Window cleaning was also one of those dreaded tasks. It takes me less time to do all my windows now than it used to to do just the biggest one before. Considering my bad back Hara has been a life (or Tylenol) saver, but it is a pain to have to lug it across the pond every visit. Just sent them an email asking for a North American rep. Ditto for the Melfor vinegar company. That stuff I would lug from France (just across the river from Mum's house). They just answered with their New York rep's addy.LOL Eventually I just might end up with light suitcases - not bloody likely. We left with 3 empty suitcases and 3 lightly packed ones, came back with 6 back breakers. Thank heavens for uninterested customs officers.

An entire box of Coffee Crisps and MacIntosh toffees...ahhhh...what a happy dream I am having...don't wake me up anytime soon! Thanks for that link! I thought I was going to have to use my precious little German knowledge...I actually studied German for a year way back when... but no, there was a section for English speaking folks. Do I dare to ask what the cost of such an item might be? It looks a lot like the design of the Sh-Mop except for the material. Can it also be washed after every use such as the Sh-Mop can? Now, what's the deal with the vinegar? A really exceptional flavor or something? Hope that you are able to satisfy your ongoing need for it because visiting Germany to purchase vinegar is going to get costly! Those customs officers scare me! Yikes! You guys must not have quite fit the profile. Are you posting about your trip in the Travel Section, Lumbele? Hope so! It would get a wider reading than here and it is very interesting.

Vee, 12 years ago the basic set was around DM 250 (ca. $125), by now probably double. But I have had most of my "mops" that long, too and you can hardly tell all the trouble they have seen. They go into the laundry (without bleach or fabric softener) with the towels, but have to be air-dried. Of the cleaning solution you only need about 1 drop of one and 10 ml of the other per gallon of water. One bottle lasts me one year (at about $15 a pop). It is just the initial expense for the set that rips a hole into the wallet. But I love it. I clean walls with it as well and it saves on that up and down motion that makes your arms fall off when done by hand. The vinegar is a special Alsatian brandy and honey variety that makes a world of difference in your salads. Since there is a distributor in the States you might find it in your grocery store. Now I still need a supplier for a good commercial Remoulade sauce and I'll be set. But then again one does need a reason to travel to Germany/Alsace, so vinegar and cleaning supplies are as good a reason as any, I suppose. As for fitting "the profile", a middle-aged, chubby couple with dark rings around the eyes and that "I am dead on my feet" expression obviously doesn't make Custom's alarm bells ring. In the grand scheme of things it wouldn't get them a big feather in their cap either catching the stuff we brought over, but to us it makes a difference. Since I took only one "touristy" trip while over there it wouldn't be worth the space in the Travel thread, but DS did some "Black Foresting", so I'll see if he'll write something up for us when he gets a chance. Now Air Transat (a Canadian charter company we flew with for the first time) might be worth a warning to those Canucks tempted to fly with them. What an outfit! If you find a good "shoe solution" let me know. We never know where to put ours either.

Canning: I'll be honest: I love to can. I love the feeling of accomplishment and success of seeing those beautifully filled jars. I do need to pick up some more specific jars for what I work with. For instance, I have 12 quart jars that I use for canning spaghetti meat sauce. I much prefer my recipe to any of the commercial sauces. What I actually need to do is to sit with Saving Dinner and start plugging the recipes that we will use (i.e., no ingredient that cause Potshot to go EWWWWWWWWW!) into MasterCook, so that I can generate my menus and shopping lists. I'd prefer to NOT have the heavy meat sauce during the summer; but that may not be feasible. I also buy chicken (breasts & thighs) when it is on sale and can that in widemouth pint jars. We use a lot of cut up chicken, and to have it all ready, at room temperature, makes meal planning much easier. I do the same thing with seasoned ground beef. Potshot loves Chicken ala King, so I try to keep 4 pint jars--a month's worth--on hand. Next year, I hope to get peaches on sale, and make up some peach preserves. I'll still check to see if the prices are low enough, but I think I missed that window. I'll be making up my cranberry sauce and canning about 18 half-pints to get us through the year until the cranberries return again. It is a lot of work, but I like knowing that even if we have a power outage, we won't lose the food. The doctor always told me to eat Breakfast like a King, Lunch as a Prince, and Dinner as a Peasant. So I also do my largest meals in the morning. I need, on one of my next kitchen cleaning days, to clean the cabinets. I just never can seem to make them shine. Most of my herbs died again. We're going to try it one more time in a different location. We're going to try one more time. I didn't get much done today. I did repair my magnetic calendar holder; the strip of glue tape the manufacturer used was, well, pointless. Super Glue, however, seems to be working very well. I'm still depressed. I spent about an hour of my resting time in tears today. I don't want to rest. I want to feel better so I can DO this stuff around here. I want to do something, anything, at the same speed and with the same quality I could do before I was diagnosed with fibro.

Shoe organizers.....I like the ones that have three rows across and four up and down. I've also used the "over the door" shoe racks, and a wire three tied shoe/boot rack. Mostly I pile the shoes that I wear in a neat (well, now it's neat) row on the floor by the door. When I was small, my Dad would throw the shoes behind the rocking horse, so it still is a joke that he will tell me to look behind the horse when I've lost my shoes. LK....I'm going to Mystic and will make sure that someone mails you the water that you want. I would do it myself, but I am terrible with the postoffice and you would probably get it in June! LOL You are getting things done, bit by bit! I'll send you a pic of my den, to snap you out of your tears! You can't even walk into it with all the boxes! Take care fellow cleaners! <Marm REALLY needs ideas on organizing the work space...it will help when the painter leaves tomorrow and takes all the drop cloths and moves the furniture back!>

Laurie, you are getting so much more accomplished than you give yourself credit for. Take care of yourself, take the babysteps, and you will get there. Now what do you do for yourself when you really need to feel pampered? I fix a cup of Bigelow's Vanilla Chai tea and sit down with a favorite magazine. I bet canning does give a person a great sense of accomplishment. It's also just plain pretty and good eating, too. I just can't bring myself to even try. Doesn't interest me in the least bit. This may be because I am so paranoid about making messes. So I imagine that is not a good thing. Schoolmarm, I am gathering my piano serial numbers for you, but I imagine that the book is buried in a box somewhere in that dining room you mention. Have you thought about how you want your desk to be in your office or your workspace...facing the door or facing a window or anything like that? I, for one, can't stand having my back to the door. I always feel as if someone is watching me without my knowing. See? I AM paranoid!

I have the desk where I want it. It's the CLUTTER of papers on top that I need to control. I think I need to get file folder for the different kind of memos and papers that I have to keep. I have a system that I'm not really using set up for grading papers for each class. IF they would all turn in their assignments on time, the system would work! LOL Take care!
