I was raised by a depression era parents. They taught me NEVER throw anything away. It would gone to the garage in the first place.

Glad he was in protective mode. Kay - glad you were able to retrieve it in time. |
Sometimes genius is slow in showing up but when it does:D it is brilliant and bright! enjoy your new cutting table.

sap, the desk had been re-purposed briefly in another room, but that didn't fill the bill. So, the desk ended up in the garage and we had no qualms about donating it or putting it at the curb.
My kind father graduated from high school in 1933. Somehow, he saved so much stuff that the items controlled him emotionally and physically. My dear daughter is a minimalist and I find de-cluttering empowering. I don't want to leave my children or husband in a bind trying to sort through a house filled to the brim with "stuff." Mom graduated with Dad at the same time, but was able to pass things along to someone who could use them. Different personalities and outlooks for each of us. :-) |
I find that my subconscious is always smarter than when I am fully awake. I always have my best thoughts in the middle of the night! Good job!

I am woman, hear me roar!!! We are well known for changing our minds, huh?!! Thanks for the laugh to start out my day!! I too took a little desk apart (it had 3 drawers on each side, with sitting area in middle) & glued them together, put on a top & covered it with wood-looking sticky paper…. just perfect for my tv in "my cave"….

I love it! I'm glad I have company when doing "crazy" things during the night! :)

Kay, it's great that you got there in time to retrieve your desk. It's funny how our minds work. My epiphanies usually occur in the shower.

Once a month our state surplus building has a sale. I got a nice desk for 35.00 and my husband cut a hole for my machine to fit down into. Works perfect!!!!!

My first reaction: Your husband was THAT angry that you were retrieving stuff from the curb? Kay - glad you were able to retrieve it in time.
