My back thinks so.
But no, I love my books, otherwise I wouldn't have, apparently literally, thousands of them. But moving them is a pain.

You must be confused, there is no such thing as too many books. You just don't have enough boxes.....I may or may not have too many books.
For free stuff I don't bother with Craig's list. Push it out to the curb and it's gone within an hour at my old house.
Out here in the country we've seen stuff sit at the curb for as long as 30 hours, but it goes.

Yeah that's what I did with this. I just put a "curb alert" on Craigslist.
Yeah, remember how I said I'd help you move, and you agreed to pay my airfare?
Something came up, I can't make it. Sorry.
When we moved out of our apartment in Toronto, we decided to not take our living room set. It had been my dad's bachelor pad stuff and was puke green tweed with splashes of blue, orange and lighter puke green woven in. One of our cats had ripped up the underneath to hide in the couch after my cousins were over once and it had a solid 30+ years of use. Someone took it off the curb. It might still be in use. Scary!

Finally bought the physical version of Secret Hitler, but none of these cards say GasBandit on them. Hmmm...

Right now they are bulky and terrible, but once technology gets going on them and they get smaller,these are going to be amazing! Everyone will wear glasses and never need another pair other than getting new frames.

This is all your fault!

So much junk, cans and trash. It was fucking disgusting. It's the part of my house I neglect the most when I clean.
Lysol wiped every surface, threw out everything that wasn't bolted. It's a usable space again that has more room in it than just where my desk chair is.
Ugh, and the dust on everything. I have a dust allergy and cleaning everything has left me feeling like complete shit.
Gonna repost this pic of what my office used to be like:

And like I told @GasBandit, I emptied that room and set it up as a nursery with crib and changing table over one single weekend.

I can not draw a green apple. I tried a bunch of times today. I wanted to practice so I shaded or coloured or blended or whatever the same red and green apple a bunch of times. The red apple looks like an apple in each attempt. Even the crappy attempts it looks like a red apple. My son asked why I was drawing an onion at one point earlier and the last one looks like a kiwi. @HCGLNS thought one was a peach lol.

The Oroville Dam, the tallest dam in the US (yes, taller even than the Hoover Dam), has been in dire straits for days now. Until today, though, the main problem was thought to be a sinkhole that had developed under its primary spillway and had caused a massive hole to open in it... but today despite the damaged spillway having been open anyway, the water level has risen so much that the "emergency spillway," a generous euphemism for "part of the hill lower than the rest that will get overflowed first" started having water come over it.
And now in the last hour or two, despite previous hopes that this would be sufficient, the call to evacuate Oroville has gone out as it was believed that the emergency spillway has been eroded too much by all the water and will "fail within the hour."
I used to have family in Oroville, distant relations, granted. Last year they sold their house and moved to New Zealand. Just in time, it seems.

My son and daughter have my sense of humor. My daughter also has my wife's temper. Things tend to run in the family. The Sandusky family, though?

The tragedy of it is that abuse tends to lead to abuse. It's unfortunately not surprising.

You in a safe place?
I remember when the scandal broke one of his sons claimed he did it to him but I don't know if it's the same one.

Oh yeah. I'm in LA. Only thing I have to worry about is remembering my umbrella. I hate to say it with all those dam(n) issues, but we really needed this rain.
