Paperbookswap puts people and books together (kind of like netflix). Bookcrossing.com<BR/><BR/>I can't do paperbookswap but I do release books into the wild (still no catches).<BR/><BR/>Where are headed in Mexico? You know that May is the hottest month, yes? Zacatecas has an international folkloric dance festival in July that is well worth the trip and the highlands are WONDERFUL this time of year. Once you hit Saltillo you're set at around 5000ft until you come down from Puebla or over to Veracruz or over to Mazatlan. Stay at altitude! :) <BR/><BR/>Or come visit us on the Caribbean. :)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262700116262217636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-21613933248581678102008-04-28T14:58:00.000-04:002008-04-28T14:58:00.000-04:00Hi guys,I have begun the first serious declutterin...Hi guys,<BR/><BR/>I have begun the first serious decluttering of my adult life. :-) My girlfriend will be moving in to live with me in June and we have been going through my apartment cleaning, arranging, and sorting through 14 years of CRUFT. This includes old bills, papers, receipts etc. Most of which is going to either be shredded or burned, and some thrown away.<BR/><BR/>We've also generated a large pile of to-be-given-away material: old computers, games, bric-a-brac, etc. that I no longer want.<BR/><BR/>I'm a horrible packrat and B has helped me learn how to let go of all my old crap so we can make way for new stuff and for her stuff! It's amazing how that has lightened my spirit.<BR/><BR/>--[Lance]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-28451267185151513622008-04-28T10:39:00.000-04:002008-04-28T10:39:00.000-04:00Hi,I am still relatively new to reading you but I ...Hi,<BR/><BR/>I am still relatively new to reading you but I love how you do the small space articles I went back to read them all. My mother died a few years ago and I as many people tend to do when someone they love dies treated everything that was passed down to me as a treasure that could never be parted with. <BR/><BR/>I recently moved into a tiny duplex that doesnt even have a dining room and I had to finally take my own mothers advice of "love and memories is something you carry with you forever without the burden of too many material possessions." She told me that before she died because she was finally going to part with all my grandmothers furniture after years of carrying it around and I think she finally came to terms with the idea she didnt need to carry "things" around anymore to love and remember someone.<BR/><BR/>Now it's my turn. :)<BR/><BR/>VeronaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-41006255035320612312008-04-28T09:53:00.000-04:002008-04-28T09:53:00.000-04:00I would LOVE to have that book!

In order to get to that point, we need to declutter BIG TIME.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-15375141622952409372008-04-28T09:21:00.000-04:002008-04-28T09:21:00.000-04:00Hi Louise.

We're about to embark on a kitchen remodel, so we're beginning to think about what we need to box up while the new kitchen is out of commission.<BR/><BR/>I'm overwhelmed by the accumulations in every nook and cranny of our cabinets. With two young sons, it seems their artwork supplies have gotten muddled with our vast supply of tupperware (read: recycled plastic containers), the chargers for varied tech devices are mingling in the same drawer as our tin foil and zip-loc baggies, and my wife's tea paraphenalia is slowly taking over our cup cupboard.<BR/><BR/>Suffice to say, we need some inspiration on how to declutter, detangle and organize our posessions so that our new kitchen doesn't suffer the same defeat.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10134466552220051152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-73151264331781762832008-04-27T14:17:00.000-04:002008-04-27T14:17:00.000-04:00Hi Louise....I sooooooooooo need need this book. ...Hi Louise....I sooooooooooo need need this book. After 20 years in the house we are moving on....and it is so hard to clean out!!!! But..........after living in our bus for 5 months it should be easy. It is so true that "we only need 4 plates "two dirty and two clean"....RV people always bring their own plate and glass when they come to dinner. It is so wonderful. <BR/>Everytime I go into Walmart I laugh because you told me that now you can go into Walmart and there isn't anything you need...I want to get there. <BR/><BR/>HOPE I WIN<BR/><BR/>Shirley Lewis<BR/>Infinity CoachAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-91686879860670768552008-04-27T01:00:00.000-04:002008-04-27T01:00:00.000-04:00Don't need the book but wanted to say that watchin...Don't need the book but wanted to say that watching Clean Sweep in my pre-RV days, really helped me deal with the pile of "memory" stuff.
