It's made a lot easier on the other mailing list in that the other
mailing list is primarily for coordination of social stuff. I got on it
at first to find out when and where there would be good fire-spinning
performances. I've used it to unload a bunch of stuff, mainly the desk
I was getting rid of and a lot of once-used cardboard boxes from our
move.
There's an event this weekend, and it's interesting to see who's
concerned about what on that. (If my mom weren't here, Dan and I might
go. But taking her *and* Sammy out camping just isn't really an
option.)
