The Palmville Globe Volume 1 Number 32
Man Finds Cubic Foot
Joe McDonnell, 78 and residing in Palmville Twp, Minnesota, recently found an extra cubic foot of storage in his refrigerator. "We have a side by side refrigerator-freezer," McDonnell tells the press. "What sold us on the unit was the In-unit ice maker which was new back then (2000). We felt we were cutting edge. But I soon came to resent all the space the ice maker took up. I was relieved when the ice maker quit working last week." McDonnell reports that when he removed the ice cube collection tub, there was a shelf where he now keeps four ice cube trays plus frequently needed items. "I love how stuff no longer comes tumbling out when I open the freezer door," he adds.
Man Saves Brush
Joe McDonnell, 78 and a foe of waste, recently revived a paint brush he had forgotten to clean. "I was disgusted when I discovered I had forgotten to wash out or at least cover the brush in plastic wrap,” he tells reporters. “It had sat out overnight and looked hopeless so I threw it in the trash, but later I remembered YouTube. YouTube had a 12 minute video titled Uncle Wille Tells how to Restore an Heirloom Brush. Too Long. The Average But Inspired site had a two minute video on softening hard brushes with vinegar." McDonnell reports his efforts were messier than in the video, but that the brush was eventually restored to its former utility. He also says, "A commenter on the video asked if there was anything vinegar doesn't clean."

Towns with a reputation for beauty are skilled at diverting visitors away from their dumpy areas.
You can live large in a small space, but you'll need a high tolerance for clutter.
As boundary for my body
God made my skin
I make the borders
That keep my mind within
If Thoreau had a wife, his cabin would have had a porch.
There should be a word for those people between friends and acquaintances-
the people who will come to your funeral if they're not busy that day.
We're told to see Jesus in everyone. So Jesus can be....difficult.
Which is just a prelude to our crucifixion. What a religion!
I remember when you got that refrigerator/freezer combination, and how proud you were of getting it so cheaply until you realized that all of its accompanying literature was in Inuktitut. No wonder it made abundant ice.
ReplyDeleteBeware of people for whom beauty is their main claim. You never know where or onto whom they might stash their trash.
