free to a good home

[rootofnewt]

Available to local folks, particularly ones who will come and fetch them within the week:

Imajica, Clive Barker. hardback, first edition, fair condition (some scuffs and watermarking on cover, no dustjacket

From Fatigued to Fantastic, Jacob Teitelbaum, MD. softcover, excellent to good condition, stupid book that lots of people like

Song of Solomon, Toni Morrison. softcover, good condition.

(the first and last are doubles in our collection. we wouldn't get rid of them otherwise.)

we also have some other books, mostly stupid vampire fiction and a PD James hardcover. they're going to the recycling center to be dumped in the book trailer tomorrow afternoon unless i hear otherwise.

i've also got some stuff going to goodwill. there's a black velvet dress shirt (button up) and a brown velvet embossed blouse. if someone wants them, lemme know. they fit my boobage of doom, so that should help you gauge the size. they might need buttons added or minor hem stitching.

the dining room is now clean--YAY! it needs to be swept. the bedroom needs a bit more work. the front room just needs slight tidying, nothing we can't do in 15 minutes. i'll save that for tomorrow.

Poo. I wish I lived closer.

[krasota.livejournal.com]

what do you want? i could make an exception for you.

[anmorata.livejournal.com]

Hee. I'd really love that copy of Imajica, and I'm be interested in the shirt & blouse. More than likely, they'd fit me since I'm pretty sure that your boobage of d00m is more than mine. :)

[krasota.livejournal.com]

okies. the shirt is a typical button-up collared dress shirt, only a poly "velvet". the blouse is scoop neck and long sleeve and that stretchy poly velvet stuff.

[anmorata.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. I can always use a few more shirts to wear to work. :)

How do you want to go about this, should I send you $ to ship them to me? I don't think you'd want to hold on to them until I come visit, that could be months. :/

As an aside.. Gabe talked to the detailers again at the base (this time in person). It's roughly 99% positive we're going to be moving to VA. We just have to watch for an open billet and apply for it. :)

lemme weigh the book... *wanders off, making this text irrelevant* it's just over 2lbs. won't cost me much to ship--i'd rather just ship it and be done! payday is very soon (about 40 minutes), so it's not a big deal. :)

there's also a dark green rayon shirt (subdued emerald), long sleeves, scoop neck, embroidery at neck, sleeves, and hem (all green)... it might need minor sewing at the cuffs. it's *just* too small for my boobs.

and, i have a black t-shirt style blouse, loose/boxy fitting, probably cotton/poly blend.

want those?

i did have another black blouse (think fitted black poly/rayon, middle-aged woman in black--made amusing corpgoth attire) in there, but it's definitely missing buttons and i probably still have them somewhere, so i need to set it aside.

yay for VA! would that likely be Norfolk or up north?

[anmorata.livejournal.com]

want those?

Sure. :) My closet will thank you graciously. :)

As for moving.. we're hoping for Norfolk (and targeting it as our first choice as well) but we've indicated that we'll take anything on the East Coast. Bethesda, MD could also be an option. From my understanding, talking to the detailer and specifying Virginia makes huge difference between those who know wat they want and go for it and those who will just take whatever is available. We apparently fall into the former category. :)

*hopes for norfolk* esp as that is where i am concentrating my job search for now.

[anmorata.livejournal.com]

That's where we're targeting. The detailer has put in two 'notes' about us preferring Norfolk, and preferring that we get something that loosely resembles a shore duty, or a smaller ship that doesn't take long deployments. :) See my comment to krasota for more info. :)

Moving here! Or here-ish! Oh, that's very cool news indeed.

[anmorata.livejournal.com]

Yesh yesh. :) Cville is what, @ 2 hours from Norfolk?

[seeliespright.livejournal.com]

stupid vampire fiction?

o_O

I'll trade you for the Celtic books i'm holding hostage. ;P

Btw, I find out next Fri. whether or not I got the grant.

Just curious - why do you think Dr. Teitelbaum's book is stupid? I thought it was interesting, lots of food for thought, but totally impractical unless you are extremely wealthy and can pay for all the vitamins, herbs, supplements, etc. he recommends. Not to mention, he uses the word 'cure' (and did quite often at the free seminar of his I attended last year) . :/
So, I was curious as to what made you come to your conclusion. :)

[krasota.livejournal.com]

well, i guess it's not really stupid. a lot of it is just extremely intuitive. i handle stress quite well intuitively and don't really need to "learn" how to do it. it discusses taking care of yourself, changing your diet, etc... getting rid of preservatives, exercising, taking the meds the doc gives you. it's all *obvious*. and a lot of it doesn't apply to me at all (herbs, for example, along with many of the meds).

Curses! I've been beaten to Imajica!
