Stuff, STuff, STUff, STUFf, STUFF


We had a garage sale yesterday, and I was surprised at the STUFF we had accumulated. I was equally surprised at what"STUFF" people purchased and the "STUFF" we still have. I was sad that we didnt sell all of our STUFF. I guess with today's economy people cant afford big stuff, because we only sold a lot of small stuff. Today we are taking the rest of our"stuff" to the women s shelter. Here is the link if you are interested in getting rid of your "stuff" , but don't have the time to have a "stuff sale". We choose the womens shelter because its a good cause and close to home. http://www.sboard.org/SHELTERS/SC.HTM
Speaking of STUFF, Please watch this video about the story of stuff. It made me think twice about stuff....especially buying more STUFF! Since you are becoming more earth friendly and environmentally conscious, this is a must see! http://www.storyofstuff.com/
ENJOY LESS STUFF!

Planet Reuse


While I was weaving in and out of websites curious about ideas about how to reuse so much of what is wasted, I found a really neat site that we should all consider, especially if you are in construction. I was curious as to what was available and fascinated by what people are looking for as well. Kansas is looking for a church! I hope they find one! I wanted to give them my house, but they would have to build a steeple. I don't think it would be the same.
A few nights ago I saw a news story where they were tearing down newly built homes because the banks could not afford for them to remain empty. I watched in horror as the bulldozers plowed these brand new homes to the ground. If only they had gone to this site:

This link takes you to a video that is pretty dull, so I recommend clicking around the site and checking it out out!
