Thanks my friend. You get it. I'd love to honor and remember a dear friend of 65 years, but if he poisoned the well with his family 😭 for me, I don't want to cause any weirdness at the memorial. It's a dilemma. I'll add that add the extremely extreme behavior from him was when dementia had taken...

I always wanted to smoke. I was born in 1955 and it was highly encouraged. Even doctors on tv were still pimping it as a digestive aid and there were more cigarette commercials than all of today's Progressive, Allstate, and all prescription drugs combined. My non-smoking parents hosted regular...

We had finally completely quit, but when my life turned upside down a few months ago we gradually started back, While moving across the countrY with my wife and two dogs we went back full bore (pack a day between the two of us}. I got a Chantix prescription today and wife got some Wellbutrin...

It's been a really crazy six weeks. Non stop movement and stress. Or CT house is under contract, moved the dogs and wife and about half of our "stuff" to Austin and leased a new house. We're moving in tomorrow but moving truck estimated 3 days to 3 weeks until delivery, even tho our stuff is in...

Landed back in Austin today and made a rent offer on a house this afternoon. cosworld moving at warp speed. Open house today at my previous residence in Canton CT. The Realtor said there was a number of people interested.

To me, is me

yes, but I'll probably stop two nights enroute. I could do it in one if I was still in my 60s

A couple of nights ago I dreamed I was driving down the highway and I was lit up by a couple of Highway troopers. I pulled to the side of the road and no troopers/cops to be seen. I walked out to the road and saw nothing, until I turned back to walk to my car and saw it roll and tumble down the...

I think I hit the Over (70) today. Celebrating by packing up my life into boxes before the moving truck gets here this afternoon, then moving to an airport motel for a week with the wife and dogs while I finish getting my soon to be ex-home ready for the Open House this weekend.

Any idea if I could place this magnet on the unopened laptops and degauss them that way?

This is probably what will happen

I like this idea a lot. Any idea of the type of place that might have one I could use? i like the fact that the components could be used or properly disposed by the Staples recycle thing

I don't have time to do all that. It could take half to a full day to find the power cords and get them charged run the software and then I'd still have to deal with the hdds.

I have so many albums. I've culled them many times over the years and now its almost entirely mint, excellent, or VG++ vinyl. I have come to the realization that transporting and storing them way, way more than I listen to them, They are collective worth a lot. If I were to grade and list them...

I have a lot of old laptops, tablets, and phones, couple of dozen, at least. I just want them out of my life. I do not have time to mechanically remove the storage from them. I'd prefer not to harm the environment, I don't want anyone scraping them for my personal data. I've considered...
