Thanks for all the feedback, kat. I will start contacting the junk mailers. As for mudcat news on facebook, I've been avoiding facebook, but should have realized that would be the backup plan, so many people are on it.

I have loaded lots of stuff in the car to go to various destinations tomorrow. It doesn't look any more cleared out around here than before, but I think that's because a lot of the stuff leaving was closeted, and because the carpet didn't used to have bits of paper shreds in it.

An old mandolin is leaving, too. I'm keeping the one with the better tone and losing the one with the nut that needs replacing. I'm just going to pass it to a musician tomorrow, because she'll know someone who knows someone who can use a starter mandolin that needs a minor bit of work done. High time it gets some use!
