Janet Says

that she is getting rid of all the f**king shit in our house if it's the last thing she does!  She started on the top floor and cleaned out a closet that has about 25 years of (again, we quote Janet ) f**king shit in it.

When it comes to getting rid of stuff, Janet has a scorched earth policy.  Sometimes she regrets it, but most often not.  Next up - the basement and now Janet has a partner in crime.  We need to have the remaining nob and tube wiring in our house removed and the electrician says he won't do it unless the basement is cleaned up.  High five, Lance!

Treasures from the upstairs closet:

Seriously, who doesn't have the box from their Betamax?  Janet says our children used this machine so much it was down to pennies a tape!

Never mind Betamax...how about the box for the Power Pad?

Janet found one of Phil's Olympic togs.  Apparently they someone might have packed on a little beef liked their windbreakers "snug" in1972!

This sucker has to be at least 50 years old, so why they dragged it to Victoria 33 years ago is anybody's guess.

Actually, it's not anyone's guess at all.  Phil can't stand to throw shit out.  Believe it or not, there is a label affixed that says "Made in Holland".  Who knew Holland had a huge tape player industry back in the day?

The aftermath:

There was some good stuff upstairs - old Lego and Playmobil that Janet says our children used to play with.

A "My Little Pony" peeking outside the box.

Then she moved downstairs.  A couple of weeks ago, Janet tackled the cabinet in the bathroom so moved onto the closet in the tv media room.

Look - batteries that expire in 1999!  NKOB board game!  Oak Bay News from 1999 with Bronwyn lining up outside the theatre for hours to buy tickets for Star Wars!

So, how does it look now?

This one might not look so impressive, but you had to know there was stuff from floor to ceiling and it was packed in tight.

Janet and I went to the grocery store.  I am such a good little puppy girl, I wait outside very patiently whilst she shops.

In any world but ours, this would not merit mention.  But over here, in Pashy-NoodiesVille, this is earth shattering!  Janet self served gas!  This is something she hasn't done for a least a decade and a half.  She carefully weighed out her options and decided her fear of running out of gas on a busy road overshadowed her fear of self serve.

She was shocked at how easy it was!

Well, that's it...we doggies are tuckered out from two blot posts in three day!
