I'm doing 5 things
My subscriptions list is smaller this morning. I think it must be because of the proposed changes to the way subscriptions work.
It’s so sad.

How I did it
It made me
have less clutter 
How I did it: I organized the things we wanted to sell. My husband photographed them, uploaded the pictures, and created the listings. One or both of us would write the descriptions and answer questions. I packaged things and took them to the post office. After years of procrastinating about it, we finally got around to listing things and over the course of maybe 2 years, sold all but one thing, which we ended up donating. Sometimes a while would go by… Read how I did it…
It made me
impressed by my area
How I did it: Before our staycation, we kept a running list of ideas of what we might like to do. Then we discussed what our priorities were, and made sure we did those things. Then, we planned activities each day according to the weather forecast and our energy level. We collected brochures anywhere they were available, trolled the internet, and checked guidebooks out of the library to get ideas of where our day trips should take us. This led us to va… Read how I did it…
It made me

How I did it: I just kept getting on the treadmill and kept realizing I could achieve more and more.

Not only do I have more subscribers than I would expect, there are some new ones since Buttongate. Or maybe just some of the same who created new accounts?
Anyway, this makes me feel a little guilty, since I’m in the process of editing away everything of interest in my account here and I don’t see myself sharing too much of myself in the future. There won’t be much of anything to make me worth following.
Therefore, I wanted to tell you guys that you should have no qualms about unsubscribing if you want to. It would make sense to me.
Also, I can’t quite bring myself to quit 43 Things because one, I love the people here and want to keep an eye on them, and two, I strongly believe in surrounding myself with good influences, and I find that here in spades. But I’m really conflicted about the idea that I will take without giving (read without posting) as that seems very unfair to me. So, if that seems unfair to you, too, and you want to block me, then go ahead. Again, that would seem fair to me.
Petition the robots to remove the option to share the entries of others on facebook, twitter, etc. (read all 10 entries…)
Just moved this to “I give up.”
