Day 198: Raffle Tickets

Okay, if these were normal raffle ticket that I bought and lost, I'd just throw them out. That's normal trash -- just like I don't post every time I throw out a J. Crew catalog, broken toy, or expired cheese. But I've been saving these raffle tickets. They've been on my desk for well over a year, because they're special -- they're a souvenir.

Except it occurred to me the other day that I have NO idea where they're from. Fantasy Island? Ocean City? Point Pleasant? Piney Festival? I'm not a gambler. When did I even enter a raffle?

Anyway.

DESTINATION: Trash.

George is a mechanical engineer who's developed everything from designer chairs to space shuttle parts. (I think that's right. Kara is writing this while George is asleep.) He loves home renovations, cars, and UFC. He is the father to the same two awesome boys. He sometimes dumps Tabasco in a can of garbanzo beans and calls it lunch.

a few house rules...

...better known as excuses designed to make our lives easier.

1) If we throw something away on Thursday but don't get a chance to post until Friday, it counts.

2) If we get rid of a few things at once, we can post them one at a time over the next few days. It's our stuff and we want to give it a proper send-off. Besides, we can't tell craigslisters, "Can you come tomorrow instead? We're all blogged-out today."

3) Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and count it as five days' worth. Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and call it one day. Both are fine, because we make the rules.

Rules subject to change when we feel like it.
