365 Days of De-Cluttering: Day 94

I've been at a horse show for the last 2 days so I have to do those posts today. This is for Friday. Two more domino manuals and a domino study guide go into the recycle bin.

365 Days of De-Cluttering: Day 93

I pulled a couple more books off the shelves today to put in the recycle bin. A Lex and Yacc reference manual, an assembly language programming manual and an old Red Hat Linux book. Also a old printer manual for a printer I no longer have.

I'm working on the 2nd set of bookshelves in my office. I found 3 books to recycle. 2 on Peachtree Accounting and one called "Smartsuite for Dummies".

365 Days of De-Cluttering: Day 91

I'm doing Tuesday's blog report a day early because I don't think I will have time to do it tomorrow and while looking for a recipe book, I decided to get rid of some of the ones I don't use or have never used. There is a cabinet in our kitchen that is stuffed full of recipe books and loose recipes. I found a small stack of papers and a few books to recycle. And then there are about 10 books that I will donate, either to the library, the woman's shelter or to Goodwill. I haven't decided yet but will later today. There were 3 recipe booklets that  I want to go through before I toss them as well. Any recipes I find that I like will be torn out of the booklet and put in my main recipe book. The one with stuff I actually cook on a regular basis. Most of the recipes in it came from the internet and not a book

365 Days of De-Cluttering: Day 90

I've reached a new milestone. Today is post number 90. I've been doing this 3 months, a quarter of a year. I think that's pretty good. Still a long way to go and a lot yet to get rid of. Today another old technical manual goes into the recycle bin. This one is the "Professional Developer's Guide to Domino".

365 Days of De-Cluttering: Day 89

A couple of days ago the mailman left a grocery sack in the mailbox. The mail carriers where having a food drive Saturday. So, yesterday I went through the pantry and found a couple of things that had been in there for a while and put them in the bag and hung them on the mailbox. Three non-perishable food items donated.

365 Days of De-Cluttering: Day 88

Big day today. Last summer Lawrence went through all his electronics in the basement and finally decided that some had to go. Unfortunately it is difficult to find someplace that will take them. So there has been a pile of old computer parts, monitors, printers and an old TV sitting in the middle of the game room floor since then. We missed the fall amnesty day where the recycle center would take all this stuff. The spring one was supposed to be today but sometime between when I found that out last winter and now they changed the date to last Saturday. Fortunately, the City of Woodstock had one today and all the stuff went away. We had to pay for them to take the TV but the rest they took for free. It sure is nice to not have that pile sitting in the game room any more.
