Downsizing My Computer Area

has caused me to give up a few things.

Still remaining are some three ring bidders that are available for the shipping costs. I believe they are referred to as 1" bidders. They are in like new condition though they are quite old. This offer does not include the contents. Contact me if interested. I have either 10 or 12 of these.

The binders have been spoken for.

Sounds as you are offering a cadaver: dead body, brain removed. If the contents are not there then I'm unclear as to why anyone would want the body. Unless one has the brain from Frankenstein's Monster without the body.

You have to be a collector of Woodsmith magazine to understand the value of the cadaver (notebook binder). Woodsmith sells these. Each binder holds a year or two of the magazine.

I noted the AARP card... We say it like a word "Arp" and say it about half of the time that we go to the mail box.

I think that AARP has served us pretty well over the years and I think even more highly of my United Health supplemental insurance after my cardiac rebuild...

We run to town for lunch a lot and do most errands at that time. I tend to wait in the truck on some of them and yesterday I told Diana that I'm going to start sticking much of the AARP stuff in the truck so I'll have something to read while I wait.

It is interesting what one might see in a photo posted for public consumption on a forum like this. While I have no bone to pick with AARP, this was not a commercial release. The card just happened to be there. I save the AARP cards (and many others) that I receive in unsolicited mail. They are useful for many things. This one was there because I had been using it to help remove the vertical blinds in my new play area. It served as sort of a key to release the vertical vane from the plastic holder.

I usually only look at the subject in a picture for a second then I start looking at the background... Especially in shop pictures...

Those cards make good targets too. I have a big stack of old obsolete CD's / DVD's sorted out to use for targets when I get my muzzle loaders out to shoot a little as the weather improves. I have a range at the back corner of the farm but haven't used it recently. Promised myself that I would this year.

Yeah. Old CDs make great targets for my 22 rifle practice. They seem to last forever. As long as I hit the target (I aim for the hole in the middle), the CD remains usable.

Those cards are also excellent for spacers around drawer faces when fitting the drawer.

Latest use is for a used Shopsmith Gift card. Used a chisel and cut a slot into one edge and now it will slip around a 5/32" axle when gluing axle and wheels onto a toy car. This way all wheels will have an equal space to roll, and will never get glued to the side of a car.

Excellent idea.

I pay particular attention when those cards arrive. I look for the ones with no raised letters. They are the most versatile.
