Yeah, those bags i stole were all worthless.

Sorry, i didn't know it was you Fraz....:D

Heh. That's ****ed up. No harm done, I suppose.

You said you have more cleaning to do, do it, but when you do, throw a dead skunk in one of the bags. That should teach them to stay the **** away from your shit.

:spock:

Getting a dead skunk would bring on more trouble than what its worth.

If you are throwing it out and someone takes it, well, then you got rid of the stuff anyways.

:spock:.........? and WTF

Maybe it was some weirdos who wanted to smell your tightie whities.

As long there's no personal info in the trash, I really don't care. I just think it's kind of scummy.

Having a paper shredder is well worth the money. Anything with your name and number or address that you are throwing away is all torn up.

In this day and age it is a must have i think.

That just reminded me...

Anyone remember the big ice storm in KC back around 2003 or so? I had 4 Oak trees over 50' tall that dropped a shitload of timber. Some of the limbs that came down were at least a 16" in diameter. I was wrapping up 4 days of getting it all cut and set out on the easement for the city to pick up and when a couple pulls up and asks if they can have it for firewood. I said sure. Then they asked me to start cutting it into smaller pieces and bundling it for them. Then drove off in a huff when I said no. WTF?!

That's funny.

I took a couple of pick up loads to good will a year ago, space about 3 weeks apart. The first load they had me put into this back room, maybe 10 ft wide and 20 feet deep. It was a little concerning since the total volume of the room (floor to ceiling) was maybe 20% full. I figured they were a little behind in getting it organized and out into the "retail" area. When I came back 3 weeks later, the room was packed. I concluded 2 things: 1) Goodwill is was in failure mode and completely ineffective in their core mission and 2) America has way too much crap they don't want and don't need and no good way to get rid of it.

I could still throw out 40% of the items in our home (by mass). We'd be much better off and would not miss any of it.

Sorry, I was lookin for some old rags to clean Rain Man's bike with. I'll bring it all back if you want me too.

I'd give my crap away if I thought someone would use it. I just can't bring myself to throw it in the trash, or to give it to someone like Good Will that is incapable of handling it.

Post it in the free section of Craigslist, someone will come get it.
