Dabble - The Move, The Camera, The Auction

Many of you know that I'm moving soon.  In all moves you have to go through your belongings to see what to keep and what to get rid of.  Shudder.

Even though I hate clutter, it happens.  I have 4 categories of eliminating the excess, offer to friends, donate, leave on the free table in the laundry room, pitch..

This is a pain in the arse, but necessary.  3 1/2 large trash bags of clean and folded clothes to the Women's Shelter.  6 grocery plastic bags of books to the library at the Westerly, the Senior Apartments I'm moving to.  This was after going through and picking out 3 bags of books to give my aunt.  I know her taste in books and always give her the ones I know she'll read, in addition to ordering her books from the Library every two weeks.  I look them up on the library catalog, call and order them and they deliver.

1 bag of no longer loved jewelry to the free table, along with 2 boxes of nice containers, etc. from my kitchen.

When I went through my jewelry, I found a charm bracelet that I had taken from my ex.  One of those revenge things ya know.  Went to take a picture of it and my camera wouldn't turn on. Anyway, the charms are sterling silver Native American symbols.  There is a turtle, a tomahawk and a kachina with small pieces of turquoise.  There is also an arrowhead and room for another charm.  The bracelet itself doesn't look to be of the same quality as the charms but the could always go on another bracelet and there looks like there's room on the bracelet for another.

Anyway, who wants it?  Give me true reasons, lie to me, charm me, convince me to give you the bracelet and I will mail it to you.

i always find it amazing how much crap one can accumulate in a small period of time. if i didn't move as much as i do, i'd be lost among the clutter.

It seems to drop from the sky into my apartment. It's puzzling.
Ellie !. Sep 22, 2009, 2:36pm EDT
I think if you don't give it to Ruth (who hasn't even asked), you should divide the charms up and put them on black satin ropes and please several people with one revenge item.

We moved so many times in the Army that I swore when we retired and bought a house we'd never move again. We bought this house in 1995 and I'm not going anywhere. We put in a door on the north side a couple of years ago so that we can have a no-steps entrance when we need that someday (not too far in the future), and the thought of having to packing boxes and all that just puts chills down my spine. Hope you don't wear yourself out.

A little at a time Vicky. Maureen came over Sunday and she jammed for about an hour. Not all that much left because of everything I got rid of already and what she packed.

Elly I would but that would require me to do a thing and I don't do those. If I do wind up with a lot, I'll send it to you and let you do the thing.

Ping her about this.

I dont want it o rneed it.. but I think it is a great idea of what your doing!
Barb (Gather Site Ferret) Carlson Sep 22, 2009, 3:04pm EDT
I'd love to have it as I love silver jewelry. I also make jewelry and if the bracelet is not high quality, I could put the charms on a necklace. I'd even post a photo for you if you like.

Gettin some good stuff here people.
I'd like to say I wanted it, but I don't.

When I moved in here, about 4 years ago, I left 20 years of stuff behind. I threw it away, gave it away and cried over a lot of it.

Last week, I decided to clean out my "dressing room". When I came here, I kept things to a sparse, minimum. I just concentrated on my vanity table, and had to throw away one whole garbage bag full of stuff that I'd already accumulated. I looked behind me at the clothes that were hanging there and knew that that would be at least a two bag venue.

How I keep finding all this shit to keep is a mystery.
Vivian P. Sep 22, 2009, 7:05pm EDT
if ya give it to me I'd vote Tom Delay to get off "Dancing with the Stars "
Vivian P. Sep 22, 2009, 7:44pm EDT
better yet I'll use my "Powers" to make him fall making an ass out of himself. Oh yeah he's already an ass.
Well I'll just make him fall and get a boo boo right on his bum.
Mugg Muggles, "The Man With the Jive" Sep 22, 2009, 7:27pm EDT
I think Vivian is the hands down winner.
sharon SugarMomma is a wise woman, Sep 22, 2009, 7:47pm EDT
She's pullin ahead here folks. Gonna give it a little bit. I'll close it tomorrow.
JOHN BECK Sep 22, 2009, 7:56pm EDT
You know Vivian will appreciate it and take good care of it.
sharon SugarMomma is a wise woman, Sep 22, 2009, 10:20pm EDT
I know that John. So would Barb but she's only made one pitch, Vivian has been all over this.
Ron (in complete sheeple overload) W. Sep 23, 2009, 1:34am EDT
Buddy is going through a Native American religion phase. He'd only slobber on it a little, then pass it on to the next deserving Native American religion aficionado. He wants to know if it's long enough to fit around an obese Papillion neck, though, first. He has a devil of a time keeping bracelets on his skinny little paws.
sharon SugarMomma is a wise woman, Sep 23, 2009, 11:30am EDT
I love me some Buddy, but it would choke the little booger.
Duckie 1 Sep 23, 2009, 10:42am EDT

I think I need to move to motivate me to get rid of a lot of my junk before the accumulated stuff bury me!
sharon SugarMomma is a wise woman, Sep 23, 2009, 11:31am EDT
Vivian won!!! YAY Vivian.

Gather mail me your info and I'll get it to you the beginning of next week. Gotta go, lots to do.
Samantha V. Sep 23, 2009, 12:28pm EDT
*HUGS* Good luck with your move Momma Sharon!
sharon SugarMomma is a wise woman, Sep 24, 2009, 12:06am EDT
Thank you sweet cheeks.
lynn a. Oct 4, 2009, 12:47am EDT
Have you made the move yet? I hope it hasn't been too much of a pain. Now you can start on your next set of accumulated stuff. Oh joy, joy, I know that makes your heart skip a beat. I think of my attic and just shudder. Hope you are settled in and very comfortable now.
sharon SugarMomma is a wise woman, Oct 4, 2009, 1:25am EDT
I move October 16. I just keep looking at the boxes trying to figure out if I wanna pack them yet and nope, it's still to early to do the rest. No biggie, I'll finish up. Everything is pretty much ready though.
Ruby Hubble Nov 10, 2009, 10:07pm EST
well I would love to have but not for myself but to give to another person who cannot afford to buy things for herself. I do that sometimes as a friendship item . She has a birthday soon and it would make a nice gift..it is always good to share. That is a nice thing for you do. thanks.
