Shades of Her Chestnut Hair... and Two Hundred Pound Anchors... ๐ฎโ
Shades of Her Chestnut Hair... and Two Hundred Pound Anchors... ๐ฎโ A brilliant haze splashed hues of auburn and had lit her hair in shades of chestnut and burgundy as the sun blazed its chorus โ and paused. He gazed at the framed picture and her faithful smile and recalled that moment as he sat down. Saturday afternoon was fading. He lit a tiny pink candle buried in the chocolate cupcake, resting on his kitchen table, and watched it flicker as it cast vague shadows along darkened walls. It was his birthday. SHE was never supposed to leave before him; he thought he'd made that clear to her. He smiled wistfully as an accustomed ache choked his throat. He blew out the candle then watched... as those wisps of white smoke drifted into the air. His wish would not be granted. The boxes were packed, and most of his furniture was gone. He'd just missed calls from both his daughters โ while rummaging through old clothes in the basement โ but his phone had captured their song and the harmony of his grandkids. He listened to the replay of their voices and giggles. He remembered that time when they'd tried to plant sixty candles on his cake, with much laughter and dizzy hope. It was a fail, but one where they ALL squealed and cheered. He'd puffed at those flames till he was light-headed. He took a bite of his cupcake, sipped from a glass of cold milk and slowly turned his head towards the eerie silence that had emerged. The Grandfather clock, the guardian of his hallway โ the one he'd bought with her when they first moved in โ had just stopped ticking. Its moon face mocked him, the swan's neck, reflected in the bevelled glass, stood expressionless. No one wanted it, and he didn't know what to do with it. The doorbell rang and broke the stillness of his thoughts. He shuffled his tired legs to the door and greeted a young couple who smiled and spoke softly. "We saw your ad for the Grandfather clock. Do you still have it for sale?" He welcomed them into his house. The couple gasped as they eagerly nestled up to the edge of the impressive clock and began to caress the smooth lines of its warm mahogany case. He smiled contently to himself as he watched. That clock would start life afresh and find a new home. As long as they didn't ask him for help, moving that ginormous two hundred pound timepiece down the stairs, up the walkway and onto the roof of that guy's fucking Toyota. ........................... ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O |

I'm not a clutter bug to begin with. I moved from a house to an apartment in 2014. Massive downsizing done then. My new fella wants me to help declutter his place but he has a hundred 'reasons' for keeping something. So I quit helping him. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

I'm working on downsizing the number of people living in my house by 3. Then it will be time for scrubbing this house room by room.

How many 78RPM 12 inch disc do you have.?. So many things that the modern youth just cant understand. I got one of those entertainment centers, big glass door on left , the entire right end opens up and there must bs 250 VHF cassettes . a collection of VHS memories back through the mid 60s. I think some Beta.... My mother does ask about some of her stuff. she hasn't seen any of it in 20 years,, Just so many things from the 30s through 50s, left at home.. And I bought a Sony Beta, because I was convinced that it was better than the VHS version; it was, but no one else thought so. I've got that SONY stereo unit and all those BETA tapes grappled in a box. Oh, FFS, what a cluster. Do I post them up for sale on eBay? lol ๐ Or Let them get them get buried with me โ when I go. Sad. And yet, whatcha gonna do, right? Your tv unit sounds like mine. lol ๐ But it's impressive, huh? ๐ค Cheers ๐ท ๐ท ๐ โ โ ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Does downsizing (and decluttering) ever enter your thoughts? ๐ค I should be having dinner parties every other week while I have the space and the table. Well, maybe once everyoneโs vaccinated.

Yes. Iโm pretty sure my big dining room table wonโt fit in the next place I live. Have you noticed that condos and apartments donโt have dining rooms? A dining โareaโ if youโre lucky...otherwise just one of those counters where you have perch on a damn stool. I should be having dinner parties every other week while I have the space and the table. Well, maybe once everyoneโs vaccinated. I have 1,500 sq ft with a couple of balconies, and a mezzanine with a huge hidden deck (nude sunbathing permitted), AND a dining room. BUT, my table only seats six. Plenty of room here for a bigger table. I'd let you sleep in the kids room; r ya into bunk beds? Bring that table and I'm sure we can work something out. OK, if you really wanted to, I'd let you creep into the Master Bedroom. Yep... I could use a big table. Condos there are small? ๐ค Hmm... Go figure.
