I do the same thing when I pay them though. Tell myself I'm doing something for my library to help them keep going : )<br /><br />You take fabric scraps and you put them in a garbage bag and then you stick them in the back of the top shelf of a seldom used closet. Forget about it for at least 5 to ten years and then your daughter will refind them and have a use for them or, if longer, someone will throw them away after you die.

You can flip through acordian-style at scraps small and folded. I try to organize by color. For big scraps, I use a hanging sweater closet organizer. I hung it from the ceiling.<br /><br />I like your philanthropist idea. Maybe the joy from laughing at what you tell yourself in stressful times helps to become real.

I don't really understand why this happens, except that I'm way more into getting the books than returning them. I kind of feel insulted when they send me the reminders. I think, you want me to read all these books in TWO WEEKS? HMPH."Melissa Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106042723556856565noreply@blogger.com
