Odd conundrum - Page 2

CP , do you have an art journal? Or a scrapbook? Not the totally photo kind.. the other kind... that would be a fabulous piece to journal about and add the ephemra (the cards) into the book.

Thats my two cents. If you have no idea what I mean, I'll find you some links.

Ralphie can't throw things away, either. He saves everything.

I understand it, though. The feeling that you don't want to waste something. Or the feeling that something you save could be useful later. But unless I have a detailed inventory system, I forget what I kept and why I kept it...

OMG! What are the odds?

Look at what I found on Craigslist!

So, you posted a fake item on craigslist. Lame.

Wading through ads is annoying enough without fakery.

On a better note, I went ahead and posted my actual ad.

Yes, what are the odds?

So, if I replied to the posting on craigslist, will I get a legitimate response or is this a fradulant post that needs to be reported to the proper authorities? $100! Yikes! Monopoly retails for $12 at Toys R Us, and special-edition versions range from $20-$30.

CP, I say throw out the two game pieces ... but since you work in a library, could they be recycled and used as bookmarks?

While on the topic of Monopoly, these three versions might interest people here:
Disney Monopoly Box Game
or
Mickey Mouse 75th Anniversary Monopoly
or
Monopoly: Disney - Pixar Collector's Edition

For $100 bucks I'd say you'd stand a fairly good chance of getting exactly what the ad offered... However it seems that the ad has been pulled.

This reminds me of the "Stuff" thread I think back on the Pad. I believe CP started it.

Ya, I got nothin on what to do with the cards. I'd probably keep them since they don't take up much room and dispose of them during a de-cluttering frenzy.

I like the scrapbook and/or bookmarks idea. You could always bring them down to Kinko's and have 'em laminated.

LOL! Priceless.

Throwing away a third of my possessions and keptcrap was one of the most freeing things I've ever done. It felt soooo good, and had such positive results.

Now I follow a simple rule for everything I find around the house: If I haven't had a use for it in the last 5 years, out it goes. I exempt from this certain sentimental papers and momentos I am purposefully saving to review in my old age. But otherwise ... if I haven't used it in half a decade, I'm not likely to ever need it.

Your mileage may, of course, vary. (And then there is the nagging question of will the partial Monopoly set appear only soon after you throw the title cards away??)
