We need a decluttering squad to go around to everyone's house and all help each other put shit away.

i have a couple of tupperware containers that haven't been unpacked since my sophomore year in college...


in 1998


it's not that i need the stuff...or ever plan on using it again....i just can't bring myself to actually throw it away when there is really nothing wrong with it

I hate being a packrat

7/1/2008 11:17:39 AM

my mother is the main cause of most of my issues...


she's a pack rat and a yard sale/goodwill shopper....so she's constantly buying crap and giving it to me...

and i'll never use it

7/1/2008 11:21:48 AM

you know what would come in REALLY handy right now?


my damn stimulus check


also...my roommate is moving out this week...

if i could find another one like her that just paid me to store their crap and lived with their bf/gf...i would be all set

I'm always worried I'll need something.

I never throw away my crafting supplies...I'm Marquisha Stewart, ya know.

I just need to get rid of old stuff from college...shred old bills that I don't even look at anymore....stuff like that! I have a shredder, and a stack of stuff to shred, I just need to do it!

7/1/2008 11:51:52 AM

i need another part time job

7/1/2008 11:59:31 AM

I need a part time job as well, but it would stress me out too much right now.

7/1/2008 12:02:36 PM

i just got an offer to join the Avon Representatives Savings Plan since I've had 6 campaigns...

it's just a retirement account where i can contribute as much or as little as i want over $10...and can transfer any or all of the points i earn with each sale into the account...

i think i might do this

7/1/2008 1:08:11 PM

Word!!!!

I thought about doing some sort of thing like avon...but I like too much stuff and can't settle on one company

7/1/2008 1:10:01 PM

i just really like avon because you don't have to put up so much money up front unless you want to....it's like $10 to join...

and you don't have to push stuff on people...you just let them shop as they want...


if you decide to do it though...just let me know

7/1/2008 1:12:04 PM

i need something to ramble about

7/1/2008 2:50:02 PM

the economy?

7/1/2008 2:55:07 PM

nah

7/1/2008 2:55:50 PM

i have a couple of gift cards from best buy...


i'm thinking about getting this as a start to my list of things to do...

7/1/2008 3:55:48 PM

on that note, does anyone know what will get grease (like the black stuff used to lubricate heavy equipment) out of carpet?

7/1/2008 4:02:03 PM

i need the answer to this as well...


i guess i should just try some degreaser

7/1/2008 4:02:50 PM

i am just worried about bleaching the carpet...


a bleached spot is just as bad as a dark spot

Apply isopropyl rubbing alcohol to a clean white cloth, white paper towel or cotton ball. If the spot extends deep into the pile, blot until it is removed or no color transfers to the cloth. Do not allow the alcohol to penetrate the backing, as it will destroy the latex bond. If the spot is on the surface only, rub in one direction at a time. If rubbing removes the spot, blot dry and stack several white paper towels over the damp area. Place a brick or similarly weighted object on the towels to keep them in contact with the carpet. The towels will absorb any stain wicking up from the backing to the carpet surface. Allow carpet to dry, remove the brick and towels, and brush up the pile. NOTE: Never use a circular motion to remove a spot as this may destroy the texture."

" If this typewriter can't do it, then fuck it, it can't be done. This is the all-new Remington SL3, the machine that answers the question, "Which is harder, trying to read The Brothers Karamazov while listening to Stevie Wonder records or hunting for Easter eggs on a typewriter keyboard?" This is the cherry on top of the cowgirl. The burger served by the genius waitress. The Empress card. I sense that the novel of my dreams is in the Remington SL3--although it writes much faster than I can spell. And no matter that my typing finger was pinched last week by a giant land crab. This baby speaks electric Shakespeare at the slightest provocation and will rap out a page and a half if you just look at it hard. "What are you looking for in a typewriter?" the salesman asked. "Something more than words, " I replied. "Crystals. I want to send my reader armloads of crystals, some of which are the colors of orchids and peonies, some of which pick up radio signals from a secret city that is half Paris and half Coney Island." He recommended the Remington SL3. My old typewriter was named Olivetti. I know an extraordinary juggler named Olivetti. No relation. There is, however, a similarity between juggling and composing on my typewriter. The trick is, when you spill something, make it look like part of the act. I have in my cupboard, under lock and key, the last bottle of Anais Nin (green label) to be smuggled out of Punta del Visionario before the revolution. Tonight, I'll pull the cork. I'll inject 10 cc. into a ripe lime, the way natives do. I'll suck. And begin-- If this typewriter can't do it, I'll swear it can't be done."

the only ting i used was gojo, but dunno for colorfast items.

btw the spotbot doesn't do shit. i own one. it's a POS. i took it apart, it looked like a kid designed and put it together (probably).

either use resolve high traffic with a nice carpet brush or a call a pro and i guess flirt with him or something.

7/1/2008 9:48:50 PM

7/1/2008 10:03:32 PM

lalala

7/2/2008 10:02:42 AM

That list looks similar to mine...

Its amazing how much stuff there is to do when you want to sell your house

7/2/2008 10:08:57 AM

What size did you get?

Make-up in? What's my damage?

I just wanna go and blow ever dollar I have right now....sadly that would make me feel a little better.

7/2/2008 10:09:06 AM

i got a medium and it was too big...or just made really strange....either way i didn't like it and i'm sending it back...


everything of your's is here except the blush...it's on back order for 2 more campaigns....so it should be here in about 3 weeks...which sucks...

your grand total is $22.06

7/2/2008 10:15:05 AM

That's fine. I think I have enough blush to make it haha

Is that included or will I need to pay for the blush in 3 weeks?

lol That makes me wonder if I should try on the medium.

7/2/2008 10:18:11 AM

it's included....i've already been billed for it


it was made really weird....it was huge...then i tied it up and it sorta fit ok in the front (but definitely not flattering in the right places)....but it was like a tent in the back...


honestly....i don't think you would like it either way...it's a cute dress...but just looks weird

7/2/2008 10:21:11 AM

WORD homie

7/2/2008 10:33:01 AM

7/2/2008 10:37:23 AM

But it will give her the message that you don't want a relationship if you stick in her butt tonight!!

7/2/2008 10:38:28 AM

haha...this is just my once every 3 year major house clean up...

i have accumulated so much shit in the past 6 years i've been in my house....and it needs to go...
