Done with the weekend overflow of client work. Now I can get back to the purge-n-pack this afternoon. 😜

@awnaves I am now at the stage in life where throwing things out is a normal occurrence. Makes the house easier to keep clean!

@homebird I've always been a big fan of it. Most of the things in this house belong to Frank because he won't let me get rid of his stuff. Haha

@awnaves Haha. Us Brits know how to hang on to things, "just in case!"

@homebird @awnaves

I live in bldg with a free room. Anything I put down there is gone in minutes. It’s gratifying because there are folks who live here who are strapped.

@LnzyHou I've been giving a lot of stuff away on a freecycle site. If I can't get rid of it that way, it goes to the thrift shop down the street. Trying to keep the move down to taking as little as possible.

@homebird

@awnaves @homebird

Your move is the perfect time. Be relentless.

I told Frank paying $50 to ship a garlic press across the pond is foolish. I sold all household goods (except set of Henkles) before shipping from St Croix to states.

PS/ mailed the knives

@LnzyHou The kitchen will.pretty much be a complete purge. The electronics aren't dual voltage for proper stateside use and I'm not attached to any of the cookware/dishes beyond a few collectables.

@homebird

@LnzyHou Not sure about that but my mother was a packrat/bordeline hoarder in her later years. I tend to get rid of stuff when I can't see a use for it.

Hiya - not sure where you're based but I got an email yesterday from my local freecycle group about a data breach:

"On August 30th The Freecycle Network / Freecycle.org became aware of a data breach on Freecycle.org.... we have been asked to reach out to to you to ask that you change your Freecycle.org password as soon as possible. We very much apologize for the inconvenience.

The breach of data includes usernames, User IDs, email addresses and hashed passwords...

@prairiecelt I'm not on the actual site. I'm in a separate group so I'm good.

@LnzyHou @homebird

@prairiecelt @awnaves @LnzyHou @homebird Legit! I got the email too and when I went to change my pw, there was a big banner with the same info.

@LnzyHou Always do, Lindsay. Also, I have a couple of friends. One of them will take stuff to the recycling center for me, the other looks after other people who maybe can't afford much, and so can take things if they are still useful. @awnaves
