h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm not going to take the risk.

I just got fed up with the risk of breaking my legs, neck or some other important body part.

There's always my mother's approach to thigs like this. She's having a serious cleaning amd tidying spell at the moment, and she's solved the problem of dusting everything by selling most of her furniture.

No problems with my furniture, it's the *things* I am in trouble, those that can't fit *into* the furniture.

Ah. That's a completely different problem. Good luck...

Maybe I need more closets? Or at least bigger ones.

I need more bookshelves, but I've run out of places to put bookshelves so it's all a bit annoying really.

If you get bigger closets, you'll end up with more things to put in the extra space. It just happens like that.

How very true. And even if I throw away things, the other stuff just spreads. No chance for an empty space...

more space doesn't solve your problems

less space does

once you own more than 7 items the itmes start to own you



(and now you will have to excuse me, i have to go drive some of my rolls royces's into the garage

I don't want less space! I want a tiny little corner without STUFF where I could hide myself from said STUFF (and kids and dogs, for that matter).

Migraines are nasty indeed I'm quite happy that the local lady with the needles (no bwahahaha I'm afraid, just acupuncture..) has helped to the stage where I can do without horse pills and can catch it building up with two normal aspirin-ish ones...

Glad to hear yours is gone and replaced by ordinary cleaning-up angst

Not really angst, more like asthma.

I don't have migraine that often, only couple times a year or so. Well, usually.

and general weltschmerz and cleaning-up angst the rest of the year?

Yep. That's what it is. Plus extra house renovation angst. I have been dealing with that too much to my good taste.

this should ensure lots of endless joy and hapiness once it is over

It'll never be over. In fact we have trouble even with getting it started.

don't tell me you plan to build it with the same materials they use for the cathedral in cologne

I'm afraid the office of historical protection has ideas somewhat similar.

oh dear

maybe i should start restoring and redecorating my own house before it becomes historical

i'll think about it over lunch & nap

With my house the only historical part here is the cellar. But the street is under protection.
