Didn't throw a shoe but did use the vacuum cleaner! I'm doomed...

I'm currently in Adelaide helping my sister clean out my 95 yr old mother's house as she (Mum) is moving to a retirement village. She's been in the house for 65 years and I swear has thrown nothing out ever. There were over 30 chairs in the house!

Now i know why I've been going to the gym for the last few years.

look positively at it: an 65y old heap of things has a fair chance to contain if not valuable than at least very interesting objects.

My thought exactly!

Freeshadow · 10-30-2011, 08:52 PM

a heap of things = stitch = pholy ?

are you sure you don't mix up heapy with hippie?

If you can remember the '60s you weren't really there....

I was more thinking of the 65-year-old part, and I won't speak for Stitchawl...

While there was a time when the hair on my head was longer than the hair in my ears, and I did live in a commune in California for a few years, these days I have to confess to being more heap than hip.

Ahhhh... for the 'good 'ol days.'

That's true, I may not be perfect but parts of me are excellent.

To get back to the house, there are some very nice things, most of which she can't take with her as she's decided she only needs a one bedroom unit. The family has divvied up what they want and the rest just has to go.

Turn a problem into a solution!

I let it grow long, and together with my eyebrows, use it for a comb-over!

The older I get the less hair I have. It does grow in some places it didn't useta! But overall less. I was at my hairiest about age 12. At that age you could see some hair on my arms, now nuthin. I will have to see if there is any in my ears or up my nose

Yesssss! The perfection of my Halloween costume! I've been working on it, to go trick or treating as a Ghost this evening, but I couldn't get complete invisibility and still be able to produce a hearty "Boo!" I have finally succeeded, just in time for the setting of the sun....

Happy Halloween! Trick or Treat for UNICEF!

Two years ago, out of the blue, our neighbours kids knocked on the door dressed as witches. Well, in over fifty years the only trick or treat'n I've seen was on American TV.
So last year we stocked up on treats but no witches or gouls and the same tonight.
I've still only seen two witches at my front door in 52 years.
