Photo Friday Cinco de Mayo, 2006: "How scary is your closet?", suggested by taz. Show us your closets! Come out of the closet. Go into the closet. Dance in the closet. Whatever, but take photos.

I have since thrown out 5 hefty lawn bags of crap, an old fan, and a bunch of art shit I'll never do anything with or sell. It could be a nice bedroom for a homeless person now.

Shane, your second photo made me smile... and believe me, I have a horrible reason to not do anything but cry today. The smile was appreciated.

I will add my scariness later, okay?

Aww, you should tell us about it, taz. Looking forward to seeing your mess. My mess, well... it's a walk-in closet and you can't get more than two toes past the doorway. If it were clean you could almost fit a twin bed in there.

We got 2 closets in the apt and they are remarkably and curiously in order. But then again I have low clutter threshold.

*hugs* taz

my closet is really not so bad... it's doorless so it kind of encourages order! please note the picture is too dark too tell but on the shelf above the clothes are about 15 different bags and purses..i am a sick lady!

that's cool, mrs pants.

now where is hugh's non-closet?

My camera works, but I have no home computer, so I have no pictures. I can't afford to play the photo Friday game. Sorry.

But I can describe it -- I have chains hanging from the ceiling along the wall that I hook my clothes hangars onto.

That was definitely not worth saying twice.

Uh oh...hope everything is ok taz. I'm concerned.

taz?!

umm....hell...i hope you are ok...

sorry guys... I found out that the child of a friend of ours died yesterday, and I'm kind of withering.

The worst of it to me seems to be the new instant communication. We didn't get a call saying "Maria died yesterday", or even "this morning". As we were standing at a greengrocers picking out tomatoes and cucumbers, my husband's cell phone rings, and someone tells him "Maria just died".

Just died. She had a brain tumor... and she just died... Like while we standing there getting vegetables... she just died. I'm sorry to talk about it here, or at all really, but that's what it's about. And I can't stop crying.

I'm so sorry, taz. Best wishes to you and your friends.

Oh god, taz. God. That's a punch to the chest. I'm so very, very sorry.

posted by jrossi4r 05 May | 12:21

Ah geez, taz. Condolences and hugs. I'm sorry to hear it. Hold some hands, it helps.

posted by Hugh Janus 05 May | 12:33

aw, man... I'm really sorry to have dethreaded this thread in this way. I thank you all, though, and I hug you. Tightly. And I order you to go hug any person or any animal you care for right now.... Or at the next available opportunity. And then just keep on doing that from now on.
