Good morning treefam.

Count, Fuzzy,,, the computers were actually put out to the side of road. I put a lot of stuff out there all the time.In this city things don't usually last more than an hour before someone take it. Even plastic lawn chairs covered in the green fungus that covers the area only lasted a couple hours.

Piggy is out looking at houses. The agent is driving her around so that's awesome. Monday we had 15 to look at and now ten of them are under contract. Seems like it's a sellers market in Orlando. We are FaceTiming at each house so it's kinda like I'm there lol.

First house we had both discounted because pictures made it look bad. Turns out it's actually nice. Amazing how many real estate agents post the worst pictures, even upside down or sideways. It's exciting sitting at home looking at houses with wifey

I'm not sure fuzzy. All of Hampton Roads is like this. We have put out a lot of true crap and people take it. When we took down our rottin wooden fence anna listed it on craigslist and we had so many texts and calls it was crazy. Some of it was so rotted it was crumbling. What people didn't take we put out and it was gone in hours. I had given some to my neighbors and a few months later he decided to throw it away. I convinced him to put it on craigslist and actually sell it and people actually paid for it. Trash removal is free and so is the dump. On our trips to the dump we always see much nicer stuff then we put beside the road. I've actually argued with piggy on a few occasions that stuff was too bad to put out only to be proven wrong in a matter of hours.

TIOA Sns 7 eps 9: Count was inside and the sand still found a way in and was blowing around. As more flew around him he could feel the static energy build.

Katz and Darlin had a long way to go, Katz needed a view. Darlin did good and kept up even though the snow was taller for her. At the end of the day as Katz got to the top she looked back and said "Almost there." a few sparks came out of Darlins fingers; kats saw it before darlin realized.

Darlin looked at her finger as she picked up her right hand and a small ball of light came out. She walked up to the top as she kept making more balls. Getting to the top she points and one comes out ten feet. She looks with a slight movement and another goes around 20 a little bigger. Darlin steps back, then straightens. Pointing her finger again a ball shoots out that could have left earth......

Oh No! Thought Katz and started to think.

TIOA Sns 7 eps 10: Fuzzy, Angel and Road laid in the last part of the day and had been laughing and joking. Finally sitting up and breathing; Fuzzy gets up and says "We need to get to water and the safest way to do that is over there." as he raises his hand and starts to point they watch a ball of fire shoot through the sky.

So if Count goes forward or back now, he could just disappear? asked Angel. Yes said Blue. So we have to make sure he does not use the machine; while everyone in the world knows it is working. Great. Angel turns to Blue. Maybe you should use it? Joking, she says with a smile.

Yeah that's why I'm getting rid of as much as I can now. I visited my mom a few times before she passed and brought home the sub filled with stuff(memories) that I don't really need. Being a second generation pack rat it's hard to get rid of stuff. Example,,, I used to collect hot wheels cars. I have eight boxes filled still in packages. That is after giving hundreds, maybe thousands away to neighbor kids over the past few years. I just hate to part with them. Most of them are worth what I paid, but I do have quite a few that are now in the $50-150 range. Once we get to the new house and settled in, I'm going to be spending a lot of time selling on eBay. I also have nitro rc cars and parts probably 10 grand worth-selling on eBay I'll probably get 3-5, but last time I ran one for a couple hours I was aching bad for a week. Too much bending over now. Wish my son would start speaking to me again so I could give them all to him but I doubt he ever will. We used to race them every week so I know he'd like them. Something about seeing a 20 inch car zipping 60-70 mph up the street is so much fun lol.

I have done a lot of selling on feebay and for the most part it's well worth it for those kind of things.....I have made enough selling my treasures to get the things I wanted (like a new PC) at the time.....but it is a lot of work....I would hate to think that the hot wheels you collected would go to someone who wouldn't treasure them as you did....
while I was going through boxed here I found some items that I wanted to sell...but couldn't bring myself to do it at the time...but now I believe I can....it's time to divest......make room for the new....

Yeah it's like that here too Slow...no matter what you put out at the street, there is always someone who comes by and takes it before the trash men come...we put out some old carpet last year that was so stained and even had holes in places and someone took that. :blink:...I guess one person's trash truly is another's treasure! :facepalm:

I live in what most people in this country would call "a depressed area" (financially). Ranchers and farmers are not rich and most of them are scrounging just to stay one step ahead of the bankers. Yet, if I were to put everything I own in the ditch in front of my property, it would still be there next month. If, however, I put up a big sign that said "FREE," most of it would go away with each passing truck. No one here assumes that just because it is "on the curb" that it is theirs to take. And if I tried that same trick back in Orygun, I would have received a citation for littering, and they charged huge fees for garbage pickup and even if you took it to the landfill/dump yourself you had to pay per car/trailer/pickup load. But... hey, I have never lived in Virginia, so what do I know?
I have made enough selling my treasures to get the things I wanted
I remember way back in time when I went in the military after high school. I had a lifetime collection of model cars (about 200 of them) that would have been worth a lot of money. My mom moved while I was in tech school and she just gave them all away. If ebay had even existed back then, I would have made enough to buy a new car. Sigh...

TIOA Sns 7 eps 11: Katz looked for some time for a spot, Darlin following. When they got to a spot Katz liked she turned and said "Can you get rid of the snow all over here." waving her arm. Darlin started to look at the snow and it melted. Katz picked up dead branches. After a short time a dry spot and some wood.

"Can you find any rocks?" Darlin looked to the earth and it started to shake a little. Little shifts of sand and dirt as little rocks and some big came up. "Can you put them in a circle?" They began to move as Kats went for more wood.

Katz returned and put wood in the circle and asked her "Can you light it?" Darlin looked at the wood and it started to smoke.......; and then light.

Fuzzy, Angel and Road were walking in the dark, the wind picked up. Ice cold; but only on them, the trees did not move. Little flakes of snow began to fall.

That's the feeling I hate.......if only......I also have a thing about getting my once treasured item to someone who will also treasure it the way I did....or to the right person(on another level without financial gain).....it makes me extremely happy when that happens.....
