I love this thread, how could it drop off the page?

I haven't made huge inroads, but I find I can make significant improvements in a room simply by looking around. In my bathroom I have a couple of drawers and a cabinet that have caught all of those little "useful" things that I'll never get around to using. Old hotel shampoos and lotions and conditioners. Dental floss holders. Old toothpaste samples. In the past I've donated those to homeless shelters, but these are old and probably not in as good a shape as they could be. Tossed 'em. Also pulled out a variety of little odd things that I don't ever use, they just take up space. It was an extra grocery-sack filled with stuff that went out to the trash this evening by the time I finished.

I have an electric typewriter that I was going to sell on eBay, but I always test these things, and I found that it wouldn't turn the platen. The motor is out of alignment or broken. It will go out to the curb, but in sight so if someone else wants it they can pick it up. I even enclosed a note describing how to open the case and what the problem is. I'll put this out over the weekend with some other stuff so there are a couple of days for people to pass by and pick over it. What is left the trash guy will get on Monday first thing. I can't be bothered to repair it, but maybe someone else can.
