Little Hawk, I read and appreciated your jeremiad regarding your lost pencil. My condolences. I did notice a girl's expired id tag in a box on his dresser, now that we can see the top of his dresser, but I haven't asked about it. He receives calls at the house from male and female friends, but I haven't detected a decided preference.

I didn't toss what I weeded unless it was out and out trash--that was also mentioned earlier. It's in boxes in the living room for the moment. This morning I asked him if it felt like he had a new room and he said yes, and clearly likes the new arrangement. He's free to rearrange if he wants, as long as he cleans as he goes (I don't think he realized that, but of course they can rearrange if they want.) I told him I want to sell some of the toys, explained which ones and why, and told him I'll split the cash with him (I'll cover my eBay fees and pay myself something for the time to list them). That surprised him, but they are his toys and anything with a fairly high-dollar value seems it should be discussed and agreed to. Heck, he can go back through the stuff and retrieve what he wants, but he has to put it away neatly, that's my requirement.
