Like the piece on music and interchangeability of tunes.

Very minimalist today @BethAnne

Very LAST for the Beagle, I might add

 

[Mendalla]

It is morning. Ape sleep in (by ape standards). Now LAST.

May appear like sage brush or even tumble weed as it blows in the wind ... a ruag thing ...

What's a RU?

 

[paradox3]

Perhaps Ape will go back to bed and the Beagle can stay in LAST place.

Ape sad. Hopes BA gets better soon.

Thanks...me too!

Just cancelled my Scottish Dance teachers membership - I've paid $150/yr since 1996 but I haven't taught for about 20 yrs and I haven't danced in about 15 so really no point though I always wanted to keep my membership active as I dreamed of getting back into it - reality is I probably won't

BAh as a humbug Dais?

The decluttering gurus talk about keeping stuff around for our future fantasy selves. It can be quite liberating to let it go. I imagine paying for an unneeded membership falls in the same category.

My example is thinking I would learn to play chess some day. I had a big clunky chessboard that was always in the way. I finally decided I will probably never play chess so off it went to donation. Felt good.

Yes, unneeded memberships are the same category...and I'm sure I'll feel lighter and happier - after the initial grief of a lost dream/hope passes

LAST pattern converted...next up...more exploring

Very understandable

On the other hand, I did cancel one magazine subscription and my Marco Polo app subscription this week that did feel good

 

[Mendalla]

We've kept our subscriptions pretty minimal. Electronic-only sub to the Globe & Mail, The Economist (both paper and electronic), Scientific American (ditto), Discover (ditto). The only stuff we really probably need to deal with is stored in the basement and that's mostly furniture that could be sold on Kijiji or maybe used by Little M and partner if they ever get bigger quarters (their current apartment is fairly small).

We won't talk about how much I still have to deal with in this house (now 3.5 yrs after mom passed)

Actually, some of what we have is from Dad. He had stuff stored here since he was in an apartment.
