The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it - Henry
David Thoreau
What a simple quote. How do I ignore this truth? I think I’m paying too much
for some stuff. Time to celebrate
Discardia again.

I’m deleting them from my feed reader. And posting them here in case my
withdrawals are too severe and I need to find them again.
Actually… I’m deleting a few more feeds. But I wouldn’t want to offend their
owners by posting them here. 
I’ve still got more than 33 left. I’ll have to
delete more later. Baby Steps.
What costs you too much? What can you throw away?
It’s scary that my first reaction is, “I could probably drop a lot of those, too.”
My second is, “OooOoOOh! What’s THAT site? Shiny object…”
I don’t let myself read the giant list o’ sites every day, but they still consume time that would be better spent elsewhere. Sigh. It’s a love/hate thing.
Good luck with the letting go– breathe deeply and often.

Erica,
I knew you’d understand.
I’m sure you’ll let me know if I miss something too exciting… too shiny… Right? You will won’t you?
I purposely didn’t link the sites I listed… but they are still in my blogroll.

You will always be welcomed back at Duct Tape Marketing without judgement of your recent straying!
I love the attitude of your blog.

I need to get rid of Sonic. I never thought I would pay $1.40 for a dt. coke, but I just can’t stop. My name is Sheila and I am addicted to Sonic’s med Dt. Coke.

1.40 for a Medium!?! That is crazy! Can you not get a 42ouncer at McD’s for 69 cents? They use to be 42 ounces for 42 cents but as with many good things it had to come to an end.

With tax, they are $1.40. On Thurs. I think, you can buy a whole Happy Meal for what a coke costs at Sonic.
