Well Folks, I made up my mind, I decided to clean out all of the stuff the Ex left and the accumulation of trash she'd "saved" over the last 18 years...got a dumpster and just now taking a break from sorting and disposing...already removed 9 giant sized trash bags of worthless rubish...can you believe she was saving plastic milk jugs..must be a hundred or more of them stuffed into boxes and bags...most were not even rinsed out ,,,found several things of mine that have been missing for some time bagged up with trash ...gonna fill this Dumpster and probably have to get another...making a clean sweep of it ..then need to save up some dough so I can get the windows, siding and doors replaced...big project, but every thing but the construction stuff should be done by the beginning to middle of August...Mike the young man that lives next door to me said he would do the garage roof for $500 plus materials....that should put this place in top notch condition...at least livable,,,I'll keep ya'll informed as I move through the process...hopefully no hidden suprises...

about 2 or more years afore she headed to parts unknown we got tired of buying ice for the coolers so I makes mention that if you fill clean milk jugs about 3/4 full of water and freeze them you could accomplish a couple of things on outings and cooking demos..1, you would have ice that would stay fairly dry in the cooler and...2, when it melted you had a fresh supply of water...I think 2 jugs acutually made it to the freezer....those had caps the ones in the bags and boxes did not....I kinda think that was her logic with them jugs...she's gone and soon so will be all her shi...er...stuff.
Gotta make n apointment with a lawyer type to get it all in my name so she can't come back and claim any part of it....

Well Folks, .can you believe she was saving plastic milk jugs..must be a hundred or more of them stuffed into boxes and bags...most were not even rinsed out twotales, Those are great for jug fishing! I prefer 1/2 gallon jugs but gallon jugs work just as well.I use to put out maybe 25 or 30 and catch either catfish or turtle on 1/2 of them on a good day. Kinda like a lazy mans way of fishing. Put them out at dawn one day and pick up and reset just before dawn the next day.Much like trapping. Oh well,best of luck! Having been thru two break-ups, I know how hard they can be,especially when children are involved . snake-eyes

Ain't nothing at all wrong with saving up all them milk jugs. I used to save them up from the neighbors and schools. Then, use them as hot caps on all my garden plants. Stretched the growing season out by over two months. Bulk tank truck driver used to stop at the farm and see my acre of milk jugs carefully placed in rows. He'd laugh that I was trying to bypass the cow and just grow the milk.
They're also good for luminaria at Christmas, hanging clothespins on the clothesline, making bird feeders...........A wise woman throws nothing away!! (I must not be too wise anymore, 'cause I've done gotten rid of about everything.)

If she had done anything with them, yep that'ld been a good thing...I've used them in scouts and for jugging...and a bunch of other things...but if I'm gonna use'em I generally at least rinse them out first...
