Facebook brings him up but anytime we're having people over, I am even more conscious of who's drinking what and how much before driving home. I am more conscious of how much and what I am drinking before driving anywhere. I can't bring myself to remove him from any of the social networks connecting us - Twitter, Faceboko, Linked In ...

I did the following things with them: - Old TV: gave to a fellow iPhD, for free (didn't have much resale, saved me lugging it away somewhere) - Old (broken!) PowerBook: sold it on Craigslist - A box of nice-looking, decent-label clothing & shoes: I have an appointment at a consignment place soon; hopefully they'll resell it for me. - My old desk and table: I took apart the former and folded up the latter, and stored them. In case, y'know, I change my mind. I think I'll probably take the table over to Goodwill though. - A whole bunch of other stuff (2 old printers, a whole bunch of old clothing, and lots of odds and ends): Goodwill! Goodwill is also the answer to getting new things without going broke, at least with the great Goodwill near me. My dining room table, which is IKEA, but has a solid wood top and a sturdy metal under-frame and legs, cost me $39 at Goodwill. Awesome. I also got my curtain rod there - $5. Plus, how long have you been living in your current place? To me, if you're there for more than a year, and you're going to be there for at least a year more, it's worth it to make yourself comfortable. If there are really specific things - like, say, barstools - just buy cheap ones. :) So, to me, what I do with the old stuff depends on two things:

He keeps coming up in various Facebook applications and I WANT to invite him to participate in Facebook activities and it's so disappointing that I can't. But it definitely makes me think of Mark more frequently than I probably would otherwise, for better or worse. I know how you feel about Mark.
