May it be a good move, both in the short term and the long term! Yarn and fabric make good packing materials.

Re: 厂辞…
May the move be smooth and the new home & practice wonderful. Pittsfield is a town that pops up all the time when I fill out those "where-should-I-retire" questionnaires (anybody else do that? just for fun?). Sounds like a nice place to land! How big is the practice? -Therese Thérèse Shere Freelance indexing & digital information design On Sat, Sep 25, 2021 at 5:29 PM Laura Need <lrneed@...> wrote: I’m moving!! |

Re: Found a good place for my knitting books
I guess the main question is, do you need/want compensation for your china, or do you want to see it repurposed? We were young college students when we married. Registries were for people in other circumstances with families and family friends with substantial means, not people like us, not like today's registry which may include gifts at all price points. We selected and purchased our Good Dishes ourselves, years after our wedding. They are stored. Our kids don't want them. Heirloom quality, not old enough to be antiques. Same with our crystal. What on earth were we thinking? Ann in PA On September 25, 2021, at 9:43 AM, "Texknitter via groups.io" <texknitter@...> wrote:

Re: Finally!
开云体育Jaya,Great idea. ?There are definitely more places to take stuff than Goodwill.? We had a bunch of things in our pickup truck from Katie’s recent move. ?Drove up to the Goodwill donation center and a grumpy old man said, “Nu uh.” ? Try Salvation Army. ?They might take it. ? Firstly, he was a rude man. ?Second, at least ACT like you’re happy that someone wants to donate even if you can’t take it. ? Sheesh! ?We could have put it all out to the trash—so much easier than loading it up and driving all the way to Goodwill. ? Really, what’s wrong with people? ?
