I used to be a Medic and Firefighter-- in short I was an adrenaline junkie. And now I’m old and retired. And my body is bent and currently a bit broken. I seek to learn how to be dull.
Despite the enjoyment of watching the hummingbirds at my feeders and the light gardening I do. I still think I could become even more satisfied with my dullness.
Guide me to complete dullness!
Even us old people no longer have typewriters buried in a closet. We got rid of them when computers and word processing became a thing. Or we just simply stopped typing and gave them away. But don’t let me stop you from the hunt! The hunt is the exciting and thrilling part, not the kill. And why shouldn’t you have a piece of history?
Yeah, handwriting is far better for learning and memory than typing is. You can write things as you learn them. Something that is not so easy to do with a typewriter.
I saw one at the Goodwill last week for $20, so they’re still out there. Maybe you’ve been pretty good about clearing your space, but a lot of people just keep accumulating junk until they have to spenddown to qualify for a medicaid-covered nursing home, or, worse, leave it for their children to clean up.
And, yes, absolutely I love thrifting for the hunt… I’m I stopped watching Sex and the City at the end of Season 2 I have two copies of season 4 and one of season 5, but I’m waiting for season 3 to show up at the thrift stores.
Tally Ho! Get back there and get it!
