at least You can celebrate, I'm at my homeland now (again) and it's still cold as heck, wondering where spring hides...
cheers to All, happy weekend and those first May days
, traditionally named in Poland as 'Majówka' (1st and 3rd of May are Polish Holidays so the most clever ppl could wring out straight 9 days off work 
, I'm not that clever so I'm back at work on 2nd May LOL), traditionally too, there's usually an opening of a grill season at that time, however if weather won't get better, there won't be any of those...and now I am after dumplings making marathon and strealing my sister's laptop, fingers crossed next time I'll be home I'll have my new laptop with me and stalking GS like no tomorrow

I have absolute respect to those who made a lot of effort to create the highly educational and informational videos about a skater's program, like listing all the steps and turns. (Identifying them is not the hardest part, but TYPING and EDITING the video is where it takes days and nights and cans of coffee.)
But the more I watch, the stronger I feel a program...like, I will appreciate more the programs I have always liked, but at the same time, for those that I don't prefer, I want to stay further away from it...I cannot take those over-complicated technical program that has very little choreography where the music serves like a background music.

I totally let my license plates expire and while my car was parked at a local park and while I hiked a trail I came back to find a nice ticket on my windshield. Fortunately it was just a warning and I have since taken care of my registration but get this....the lady at the motor vehicle place told me she is worse than me and has been pulled over several times for expired tags!!! WHAT WHAT!!!!

Excellence and success come from focus. Better to have good results in one thing you pay full attention to than being "good at mult-tasking".

My mom passed away in Dec. 2014 and her "things" are still cluttering up my small condo. I have already disposed of a truckload of meaningless stuff. Now I'm really struggling and thinking "What do I do with the treasures brought from Germany by my great grandparents? Beautiful portraits?, etc." For the longest time I did nothing just because my grief made me feel like I was throwing my parents' life in the garbage...I feel better just having put it in writing.

hugs... i know this feeling
Thx - appreciate the kind thought. If my mom was not a hoarder, she was a border-line hoarder, so it's been pretty rough. Just yesterday I came across my Dad's WW2 U.S. army medals, canteen, very emotional letters from my grandmother. And don't laugh but I think I have a sword and dagger from a great-great uncle from Kaiser Wilhelm's army. Yikes!

Wow that's really interesting. Perhaps you could donate the items to a museum that would have interest in those items? You can can keep a few things, of course, but it sounds like they're just taking up space -- if you give it to a place that might use it for something educaitonal, that might be a good way to give you closure.
As for the photos, you can always hang them, of course...and there are places where you can digitize photographs....
I'm really sorry to hear about your loss.

Military stuf from WW I and WW 2 are highly collectible. You might want to take pictures so you have a record of them, and then sell them.

, I am sorry for Your loss and this feeling of being torn experienced, because usually it really sound like betrayal speaking to yourself about loss and how to deal with those items, how to live with them...and speaking out loud, maybe even writing those feelings, struggle down on paper really helps - it kind of 'relieves the pressure' of the situation taken very personally and helps to put at least a little distance between those deep feelings associated with things left and yourself. There is a tendency to 'clutter' your mind much more than actual items, put too much of pressure on it by keeping those kind of thoughts,glad You were able to speak there about it, hope it all will get better

Went to the WW1 Museum while at Nats in KC and spoke to them about some of the stuff I have. I'm sure I will be able to find a home for some of these things while still continuing to honor family members' memories. Thx to all for your kind thoughts and suggestions. I am now less paralyzed emotionally so hope to move forward with some of these things...There have been some funny things too -- the bills from my parents' 1946 wedding -- food 79 cents per person at the reception, flower bill for many flowers $30. Also I now use my Dad's army foot locker/trunk as a coffee table which is actually pretty cool!
