-SANDY (Ore ) POST Thurs., Jan 29, 1981 (Sec 2)
Classified deadline is noon Monday
Use the ceiling as a bulletin board
Extra space is where you find it
Every now and then 1 like to surprise my fam ily by
doing something out of the ordinary This week 1 dec ided
to put the dishes that normally float between the dish
washer and the table back in the cupboard
I was shocked to find there was no room for them. Had
it been that long since they were last put away9 1 pushed
the cannisters, jars, and appliances on the counter aside
making room for the armload of dishes and wondered
what happened to my spacious kitchen.
TTus overcrowding cancer had spread to every room in
the* house and 1 had completely ignored the warning
signals Tax papers, coloring books, lib ra ry books and
the typewriter engulfed the dining room table totally
eclipsing the table's surface and choking off a bouquet of
wilted flowers. The table had become a holding pond for
the desk’s run off.

I once was concerned that the desk s top would be
marred by heavy pencil marks and should be protected
bv a pad One had evolved over the months due to an
abundance of notes, bills, returned checks and unan
swered letters The drawers had been taken over by the
girls' school supplies and the husband s business papers.
The telephone that once seemed rooted to the desk's
back comer had been transplanted to the front room
floor

It wasn’t necessary to dust the desk, in fact it was
impossible
The bathroom was no better The tub had been lined by
the girls with a six-inch layer of plastic bottles, cups, and
toys all half fu ll of cold water The counter top was

cluttered with an assortment of shampoos, rinses, hand
soaps, and degreasers The drawers looked like a mini
drug section starting at the top with brushes, combs anil
curlers and working down through toiletries and
vitamins.

and pieces
The living space was getting crowded. It was either
time to construct a 810,000 addition or throw something
away. The alternative, of course, was to find unused
space. But where?
The more thought I gave the problem the more space I
found. Every house has space it does not utilize.
Rie ceiling, for example, hangs around completely
blank except for a light and an occasional spider What a
magnificient bulletin board it would make Photos could
be displayed on ceilings elim inating the need for books.
Children’s rooms could have posters plastered across
them ami the fam ily room could be overcast w ith maps
and charts showing the vacation routes and weather
fronts.
The water bed could be a source of extra income, if the
manufacturers just made the opening a little bigger I t ’s
heated waters would make an ideal spawning ground for
tropical fish It could be the answer to the w orld’s foot!
shortage; every home could have it ’s own kelp or oystei
bed. Catfish ami other edible bottomfish could survive in
slightly cooler temperatures.
The tank on the back of the toilet could be put to better
use than storing bricks A planter placed over the tank
would autom atically be watered Slips could be rooted
for those w ith green houses. Pets could be watered while
owners were away at work or on a trip
Pounds and pounds of d irt go to waste in house plants
flower pots E arth worms could be thriving in and
around the roots of every African violet providing the
household with a source of protein or, at least, something
to catch the catfish with
The roof is the lim it! Refrigerators have been bulletin
boards for years cluttered w ith magnets and toys. Now
i t ’s time to spread out, up and over the rest of the house.
1 feel so much better since I ’ve found all this extra space.
So why is it 1 still can’t find a spot for my toaster9
