Thanks for you input even though it's a few weeks late. My name is Bob Smith. I was Tommy Joseph's best friend. About a week ago he developed horrible pains in his stomach along with vomiting and fever. I took him to the hospital in a wheelchair, about two miles away. I stole the wheelchair from a local hospital to use as a novelty in my apartment and was thinking of getting rid of it until this need arose. I took Tommy to the hospital where he died 2 days later. I am now living in his apartment and using his computer to send this post. Doctors say it was food poisoning. The symptoms appeared within one day of him first eating his sun-dried tomato stew. I didn't eat any because I didn't trust the sell date. I told him to throw them out. Instead he insisted on consulting people in this group whose consensus was to go ahead and use them. Now he is dead. Thanks a lot, people. Nice computer though. Love his tv, way bigger than the one I had in my rathole apartment where I was behind 4 months in rent and was due to get kicked out any day. Everything worked out fine. HE WILL BE MISSED.

What a dreadful question. I buy toothbrushes new. But there times in my
younger years when I'm sure I'd have accepted a used toothbrush from the
right person. I've worn shoes found on the street. I once passed a full
box of cast iron pans all rusted out. I wasn't out looking for anything, it
just popped into view. I took them home and cleaned them up and put them to
use. My motto is this: The moment something has been bought it's used - so
even the stuff you buy new is used in no time flat. As for used clothing -
if the right thing comes along I have always preferred used clothes to new,
especially if they are in good shape. The point of my comments was that in
my life there were always certain items I did not have to buy as those items
were handed down to me and lasted a long time. But now, with many
benefactors in their graves with me forced to shop for things I've never had
to buy, each trip to the store for such items is a stressful experience that
drives me up a wall. Food, no problem, I know how to shop for that. But
things I have never had to buy - yes, I am lost when the need to shop for
those things arises. I have also eaten in soup kitchens in L.A. and
Allentown Pa. They are not all the same and sometimes the meals were
fantastic. "But how could that be?", some might say, "I always thought good
food cost a lot of money."

I preferred used clothing for my daughter when she was younger.
Particularly the ones sold at the military commissary. And she was really
fond of those. Reason? Those would sometimes shrink after washing and then
not fit. But used? They already shrank. Much easier to check for size.
And many kids grow so fast that you are replacing their wardrobe about every
6 months.

Hi Bob, Sorry about the loss of your friend, TJ. He promised that I
could have his computer and TV so I'll be picking them up this weekend.
He also told me where the cash is hidden so please leave a couple of
shopping bags by the door too.

Sorry Ed, you're a little late for the cash, but I left the computer
and t.v. for you. Oh yeah, and there's a nice stew in the frige for
you if you get hungry while you are packing up the computer.

Sorry Ed and Bob; after 9/11 TJ decided to get his cashstash out of
the USA and bury it deep in my vegetable garden here on a secure island
off Scotland.

No need to bring spades, I can lend you some.

I'm sorry too, Ed - I already sold TJ's tv and computer (the buyer is coming from them first thing in the morning) - and I also found his money. He was not as good at hiding things as he often boasted. I tried the old "Hide it in the most obvious place" method. It didn't work. I will be using his money to put down first and last month's rent on an apartment I found yesterday and will be moved out of this rathole by the time you arrive. I am letting you know this to save the trouble of coming here for nothing. The only thing of TJ's you will find in this apartment are remnants of the thousands of farts he cut within this tiny space over the years, the stench and aura glued to the walls and flourishing in the porous woodwork where entire universes spawned by his man clouds now thrive until the disinfectant boys come in to clean it up for the next person.

TJ

PS.......... My computer is crashing a lot and each accessed post takes forever to receive and to send, so I will say now to all who responded that I read your messages in full and apprecitte them - thanks.

Often not such a bargain... when previously laundered several times
there's not much life left in those fibers... and when washed in hot
water with bleach all you have are schmatahs. Heavier fabrics like
used for winter coats and warm blankets can be fine but most used
clothing of the type you're talking about, items that shrink when
laundered, are best purchased new and do your own shinking. Brand new
clothing is dirty clothing, should always be laundered before wearing.
One of the best ways for women to get yeast infections is to wear new
panties right out of the package... womem and men, always launder new
undies before wearing, any clothing worn directly on your skin,
shirts, jeans, PJs especially. Bath towels and bedding should be
laundered twice before using, most are milled in third world
countries, they are filthy with feces... and they're loaded with
sizing so won't be absorbant... never sleep on brand new bedding,
you'll make your Dermatologist very happy. That new comforter set is
disgustingly filthy, besides germs it contains chemicals that are
carcigenic.

Serious or not I'll take that as a compliment with a hearty thank you in response. Funny how this thread started with sun dried tomatoes and now ends up with sun dried farts as the clean-up guys open the windows and let the sun pour into the once-bleak setting, blazing into the unseen fart stains from floor to ceiling that are not only remnants of Tommy Joseph's life but of his very soul itself. Thanks again.
