Hey there~

Well put together post.
Just a note on the point regarding the garbage cans though…
There is actually quite a bit more behind it than just the Aum incident.
I have actually put together a compilation of posts in my post about it here:

Hope that helps~

Cheers, and keep up the beautiful writing!

Thanks for your comment, Deb. I am going to try to stick to my guns. I spent the day reflecting on how this will be a good way for me to keep to my budget. In fact, I’d already begun fantasizing about things like a new sofa, television, endless list of other things. My steps went 1) Ok, so I can’t stream from Netflix without buying this stupid yadda yadda which I still haven’t done, 2) the TV is about to die soon anyway, probably within the next couple of years or less, 3) I’m redecorating and a new TV would maximize my layout options….SCREEECHING HALT………….. Wear it out…

That TV will probably last at least a year, possibly more. Having had it repaired once or twice before, I know it won’t be worth fixing again, but why send it to the landfill earlier than necessary?

Anyway, I bookmarked your blog. Thanks for dropping by.

Hi LS – i’m so interested to have found your blog. we have some things in common, most especially, an ex-research oriented academic career. mine i abandoned entirely when the market forced me into adjunct work (phd in english). there is language throughout your blog – things as simple as the word “text” that ring nostaligically for me. i currently tutor kids with dyslexia and write grants and proposals. i could see myself teaching again once the kids are gone – but for now, adjuncting required too much time for too little money. anyway, this post: i tried to stay green and not consume too much during a remodeling project. the pressure to buy was intense. my contractor wanted to throw away our 5 yr. old refridgerator because it didn’t match the new “look.” i insisted on keeping it – 4 years later, it’s still in there in all it’s glaring outdatedness. so stick to your guns – only buy what you need!

Love it, Laura! I’m sharing this one with Will. He’s got me reading D&D novels so I am pretty well-versed these days in half-elves and orcs. Your speech sounds wonderful. Brava!

Just realized my email won’t be shown. How can I contact you or you me without the world knowing our emails? (Assuming the world is reading your blog as well they should!)

I was googling for photos of housing projects and found your blog! I too grew up in the Elliott Houses and see that JP also did. Small world. Would love to “talk” more about that with you. Send me an email!

Sandy, you’re online way too much not to have a gravatar.
