Re: ok, Putting stuff in plastic bins

[Guest guest]

Get rid of the photos. Have someone scan EVERY photo on to a cd and keep

them that way in order to make scrap books. YOu cna pick up a HP all in one

printer that scans FABULSOUSLY for about 150 on sale. I have used HP all in

one office jets for years and love them. Make sure you get one with the feeder

so you don't have to stand over it scanning page by page. Never bring the

printer into the house just keep it for scanning mold infested articles.

Invest about 20 some odd dollars in a pdf conversion program. scan all your

doucments into a pdf format and you have them at hand without the mycotoxins

from the damaged one.

This wya you can have your cake and eat it to.

I did the same thing with my books, etc when I demolished my basement

looking for mold but I was lucky that my mom has a big attic and

everything is there offgassing (I hope). I don;t really expect to be

able to bring any of the stuff home again but maybe....

none of the photos or albums have visable mold on them. just

micotocins i am sure. i have no idea what is going on inside that

closet but i have to tell you all that i still have symptoms. i am

being treated for lyme but i know the symptoms are from mold. my son

still has stuff in his room that needs to go. i have a printer from

the old house that i cant figure out if its dirty or not. i am the

only one who is so sensitive to it and its driving everyone else i

live with crazy. they dont want to hear it any more. i just dont

know what to do. many of my photos are on my hard drive that i took

out of my distroyed computer. my family is tired of hearing me

complain at this point. i dont think they care anymore if this mold

is here or not. its not bothering them. i keep my room door closed -

everything in there is new and i keep the air purifier on at all times.

i am 53 and on disability - as soon as i can i want to move to my my

own place. i feel like my son and his girlfrind just see me as a pain

in the neck. So if i start saying we have to scan in a bunch of

stuff outside - no one is going to do it for me. lately all i have

been doing is sleeping so i know there is something up in the new

apartment. they just wouldnt listen to me.

All i hear is about how they work all day. gee - when i was there age

i had two kids took them to baby sitters. commuted to the city (2

hour trip) came home cooked did homework with them cleaned up. i am

sorry i have no pitty. i am home all day because i am sick and

sometimes i feel like they think i am the maid. ugh. sorry about all

that. but i am really feeling in my througt right now. i hate being

in this living room cause most of the stuff in here should have gone

out. i dont have a computer and am using my sons mac. its its in the

living room. i am tired.

thanks for the sugggestions everyone - i could leave them in the sun

for a few days. but that would entail talking to these two. the

baking soda is a good idea too. thanks.
