Acquisitive

Shoot. I'm afraid that all of my belongings will not fit into my car. Shoot. Everything fit when I moved out but I seem to have acquired a full kitchen between October 2006 and August 2007. Shoot.

Category of possessions with largest volume AND heaviest weight: kitchen stuff. Both the pots&pans sort and the startlingly large collection of oils and vinegars and dry goods I have amassed this year.

Clothing is pretty bulky too.. but stayed largely static between last year and this year. Holy crap did I underestimate the volume of my kitchen stuff.

Do not want to make two 10-hour round trips. Do not want. (But there is no other choice; sadly, it's cheaper than mailing any of this stuff. I think I'll have two FULL LOAD trips to make. Maybe by some miracle it will all fit. Ha! Ha ha.. ha.)

(No I cannot get rid of anything. I already culled my clothes and by God I cannot afford to throw away those entire paper grocery bags of canned goods and spices.)

On the bright side, I'm now the proud owner of an iPod nano, a radio adapter, and a car CD player (THANK YOU O BROTHER WHO IS A VIRTUAL ELECTRONICS SHOP). Installed the CD player tonight and it looks pretty jerry-rigged* but it WORKS.

* Jerry-rigged: etymology, anyone? Is it majorly un-PC? I usually want to say 'ghetto' in these situations but am trying to kick the habit.

Comments

from nautical "jury-rigged" which refers to a hasty slipshod scrappy replacement for a broken mast. "jury" coming from an old french word meaning relief.

also - does brother josh have another car CD player on the market? my subaru is also in need.

Thanks for posting this article. I am definitely tired of struggling to find relevant and intelligent commentary on this subject. Everyone nowadays goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint of that everybody else in the globe is wrong. Thanks for your consise and relevant insight.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

Thanks for your exciting article. One other problem is that mesothelioma cancer is generally caused by the breathing of materials from mesothelioma, which is a extremely dangerous material. It really is commonly observed among staff in the structure industry with long contact with asbestos. It's also caused by living in asbestos protected buildings for years of time, Genetic makeup plays an important role, and some folks are more vulnerable for the risk compared to others.

I also believe that mesothelioma is a uncommon form of cancer malignancy that is typically found in individuals previously exposed to asbestos. Cancerous tissues form in the mesothelium, which is a protective lining which covers the majority of the body's internal organs. These cells typically form inside lining of your lungs, stomach, or the sac which actually encircles the heart. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
