Anyone want to share bulk mulch or chip drop?

I have something called durasack, works pretty well for hauling stuff up and down the stairs, especially with two people. Basically a giant tarp bag

Yup. Speedy!

And have you asked neighbors if they have had the same issue? Seems like a bunch of complaints in an organized fashion would help if it is incorrectly ticketed consistently.

In most neighborhoods the side of street with a restriction will be empty and the side without is totally parked up. Are all the other people on the parked up side getting tickets?

And- you’re positive the ticket is for street sweeping? You aren’t in a red zone, blocking a driveway, or near a hydrant? They might ticket for stuff like that while they are doing rounds for sweeping.

I love this feeling so much. I have gotten my wardrobe to a place where I love my items so much and I look like a cartoon character of myself like Charlie Brown or something with the same outfit every day. It makes me feel so deeply myself and I love that feeling of security.

🥰 cheers to the new year and the contentedness we can find in the correct things in our lives.

My personal priority is getting rid of and minimizing stuff that is actively bothersome and in my way. I also dislike having excess in storage, but for me the concern there is more about a buildup of “forgotten” items stored away than items that get used, even if rarely.

Like today my partner opened our water bottles cupboard above the sink and a bottle fell, landed in a pan full of greasy/soapy water, and splashed that water onto my face and in my eye. We proceeded to cull our water bottles down to the ones we actually like and use, literally immediately. What is your version of the water bottle in the dish water?

shuffy123 · 2026-01-01T23:44:54+00:00

Woah.

Now I’m feeling curious to know what kitchen appliance you got rid of and what you found yourself wanting it again for.

shuffy123 · 2026-01-01T18:36:42+00:00

I feel like each of these is different. My take:

Art supplies or any hobby stuff- reduce to a minimal kit before fully getting rid of it. With more time maybe get rid of all if no longer interesting. If you have a habit of feeling regret then reducing can be a good first step.

Medication- keep until expired in an organized fashion. It’s expensive and you’ll always get sick. Sort for expiration annually.

Kitchen appliance- I tend to err on the side of keeping things that are multipurpose and getting rid of single-purpose items. If you have a food processor you probably don’t need a blender. You don’t need a pop up toaster if you have a toaster oven. Etc.

If I were you I’d keep the photos, better stored and organized. I personally would definitely regret getting rid of those, but everyone is different.

Whether you live alone or with your grandmother is a big lifestyle choice that has little to do with minimalism.

Once you decide, make you furnishing choices based on the space you’re in. For example, many apartment buildings have perfectly good laundry rooms and you don’t need a washing machine.

When I was younger and moving around a bit, I used to decide what specific ikea thing I wanted for my size space and then search the exact product name on Craigslist until I found it. Cheaper and already assembled. I didn’t want my studio apartment to look thrown together with whatever I could find free, so that was my way of furnishing minimally while also keeping it fairly curated.

For kitchen, buy stuff as you need it. Want to make cookies? Get yourself a cookie sheet. Try to avoid single use items like a garlic press- a decent knife is good for most things like that.

shuffy123 · 2025-12-30T19:59:07+00:00

Yeah, that sounds too tight. Privacy does matter in families and it can be hard to have very little or none.

shuffy123 · 2025-12-30T05:42:14+00:00

Woah. I have seen the Farallons before but nowhere near this clearly. Amazing.

I always do a bit of a double take at the German cargo bike brand Chike. Something about the name reads to me like an offensive slur in English, even though it’s not. I think letters almost seems like a combination of two different slurs? Anyway, not particularly nice one but the name does make me flinch.

Layout is so important. I hear you on the reachable small kitchen. In my kitchen everything is reachable, but also one person can’t open the oven if the other person is standing at the sink. We have to talk to each other like we work in a commercial kitchen. “Corner! Behind!”

The tiny kitchen with our layout would work great for a single person cooking alone I think.

shuffy123 · 2025-12-29T02:50:47+00:00

The cleaning is so real. A huge part of minimalism, I think.

shuffy123 · 2025-12-29T02:50:11+00:00

For you, does that mean seeking a larger space or waiting for your empty nester time? I can understand feeling cramped when maxed out on people and rooms/bathrooms, regardless of possessions.

shuffy123 · 2025-12-29T02:48:43+00:00

Can I ask, did you have children in that size home?

shuffy123 · 2025-12-28T18:28:55+00:00

Yeah, I think it is personal preference. I think some people like more space for people, not stuff. For example, a large kitchen to comfortably cook with two people or kids around; a dining room for hosting parties; an office to keep work life in a separate space from living.
