Hi Folks, Well, through the humor, I've actually gotten some good ideas from the list... At least, some good thoughts.
I am, indeed, going to rent a dumpster, and just throw out most of what seems like junk to me. Though, the notion that I'll need, within the next day or week, that which I've just tossed strikes real fear in me. I like the thought of accumulating space, instead of stuff. I don't know about anyone else, but with so much clutter, lack of room to move around the workshop, and all sorts of stuff the purpose of which I never knew or have forgotten, I find my workshop to be a foreign and anxiety provoking place... Certainly not what it should be to me. A large part of the problem is other people. Once upon a time, BC (before children), my "nobody-allowed-in-my-workshop" rule was obeyed. Then, as the kids got older, there was no such thing as a "Dad only" workshop. So, the kids invaded. Once the mote had been breached, the drawbridge was left down for friends, neighbors, etc. I caved, I crumbled, and somewhere along the line, my workshop became a community workshop. That has to stop. And, I don't care if it makes me look like a selfish jerk. The workshop of a person who is blind needs to be left to his/her own organization of it. I'm not lessening the impact of my own pack ratitis, but that pack ratitis has been severely exacerbated by the invasion of my workshop by others. The simple rule of "clean up and put things back where you find them" has never been adhered to in this workshop. I'm going to put my foot down... I just hope its not on a sawblade! --Barry To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The New Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following Address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
