I HAVE PURCHASED EVERY DESK ORGANIZER KNOWN TO MANKIND - AND I AM VERY SORRY TO REPORT THE ENTIRE CONCEPT IS A FAILURE... OR AT LEAST IT ELUDES ME... OVER USE OF THE WORD "LATER" IS ONE OF MY BIGGEST HURDLES. NOT BEING 100% SURE OF THE ALPHABET AND IN WHAT ORDER THINGS SHOULD GO IN THAT METAL MONSTER-- THE FILE CABINET IS ANOTHER PROBLEM.... BEFORE LINDA-- I HAD IT ORGANIZED BY NUMBER-- AUTO WAS 10-- INSURANCE 18-- TELEPHONE STUFF 42-- VET EXP 67-- AND VOID AND UNKNOWN 99- I STILL USE A SPREAD SHEET FOR MY CHECKING ACCOUNT AND USE THOSE NUMBRS. LARGE EQUIPMENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN 36 AND IT IS SOOOOO MUCH EASIER.... LINDA DOESN'T SEE IT THAT WAY. IT IS BECAUSE SHE HAS A MIND THAT REMEMBERS THINGS.
FOR EXAMPLE--- IF I BUY A NEW PRINTER--- A TRACTOR, ---30 TONS OF STONE DUST, ---AND A HUGE VACUUM SYSTEM, . THOSE ARE ALL IN MY #36--LARGE EQUIPMENT
WHEN I NEED TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE TRACTOR DEALER, I USED TO JUST LOOK IN #36. NOT SO ANYMORE...... NOW THAT LINDA HAS EVERYTHING FILEED WHAT SHE CALLS "CORRECTLY" -- TODAY, I NEED TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE TRACTOR DEALER--- AND MINUS THE NAME, I DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHERE THAT PAPERWORK IS .
I KNOW THEY WERE IN AYER MASS... SO- NOT FINDING LINDA, I ENDED UP CALLING THE POLICE IN AYER- AND THEY TOLD ME THE NAME, AND THUS WHERE TO FIND THE PAPERWORK IN MY FILE.
AND PEOPLE CALL MY SYSTEM BIZZARRE. ALL I HAVE TO KNOW IS-- DID WHATEVER I AM LOOKING FOR COST OVER $100- BECAUSE THAT DEFINES #36-- CHEAPER THINGS ARE #29... SUPPLIES.. IT IS ALL VERY REASONABLE TO ME. TEHRE IS A NATURAL ORDER IN WHICH NUMBRS FALL-- SO I DON'T HAVE TO GO THRU THE --L--M--N--O--P SEQUENCE TO TRY AND FIND WHERE O FALLS IN LINDAS FILE.
THERE IS ANOTHER NUMBERING SYSTEM AROJUND HERE--- ALL TEH DOORS HAVE 2' SQUARE BRIGHTLY PAINTED PLYWOOD WITH NUMBERS ON THEM. THAT STARTED WITH ONE SQUARE I HAD WHICH HAD A #29 ON IT- THAT ENDED UP ON THE CHICKEN COOP- YEARS LATER AFTER TEH DONATION OF A PALLET OF PAINT FROM HOME DEPOT- WE HAD A BUNCH OF PEOPLE HERE ONE DAY-- I MATCHED THEM WITH SQUARES OF PLY, PAINT BRUSHES- AND ASKED TEHM TO NUMBER THE DOORS.. WHICH THEY DID. HOWEVER--- THEY DID NOT CONSULT EACH OTHER IN WHAT NUMBER THEY PAINTED WHERE-- SO EACH PAINTED THEIR 2 DIGIT NUMBER AND RANDOMLY NAILED IT TO A DOOR-- THERE IS ONE "Q" AND ONE "A" WHICH WAS THE RESULT OF 2 FREE THINKERS-- ALPHABETIC TYPES....

ANNIE REPORT
JOYCE'S HUSBAND LANCE DROVE US TO THE HOSPITA;L-- WILLIE,JOYCE AND ME--- ANNIE WAS GLAD TO SEE US-AND GAVE US SEVERAL THUMBS UP SIGNS...SHE HAS AN ALPHABETIC POSTER WHERE SHE CAN POINT AND SPELL THINGS- BUT SEEING AS SPELLING WAS NOT MY FORTE- WE DIDN'T TRY THAT. I DI D A MINOR MAIL CALL.. WHERE I READ ALL HER CARDS TO HER AND JOYCE HUNG THEM UP. WILLIE BEHAVED VERY NICELY -- AND DREW ALOT OF ATTENTION TO ANNIE AS ALL THE NURSES HAD TO COME SEE HIM - SO I HOPE THAT HELPED.

ON TO DONNA
SHE HURTS.. SO SHE STAYED IN THE HOSPITAL - AS WITH THE DOGS THE VET IF YOU GET HURT ON A FRIDAY, AND DOUBLE PAY FOR OVERTIME BEING WHAT IT IS, THE HOSPITAL WILL BOOK YOUR SURGERY OR FURTHER CARE FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK... MY GUESS IS SHE IS STUCK- WITH ONLY VAGUE REFERENCES TO FRAGMENTS AND ORTHOPEDIC SURGEONS. A SIMPLE FRACTURE WITH GRAVITY AND A SLING SOUNDED SO SIMPLE UNTIL THE DOCTOR TOSSED IN THE WORDS "IF THERE ARE FRAGMENTS."
POOR DONNA
POOR US WITHOUT DONNA
SHE IS THE GREATEST BREAKFAST STEAK COOKER I HAVE EVER HAD AROUND HERE.
