Lingo used here:
Items in the house are either UNCLAIMED or "green-taped." This assignment is NOT permanent. It is based only on my best effort, and yes, raccoons distracted me this time out. Please let me know to what extent you DO or DON'T want what I am listing here for you.
UNCLAIMED means that as best I can tell, none of us have spoken for the item. This also means that if none of us speak up now, and none of our Cincinnati friends speak up, the item will go to Goodwill, or St Vincent de Paul, or the Tool Bank, or Habitat for Humanity -- or the dump.
"Green-taped" means we have a wide piece of green painter's tape pulled over the item with a NAME written on the tape, and that name is a "claim." Please note: sometimes I assigned you things you did not request, based on my own guessing. I imagine sometimes I am guessing wrong, and sometimes I imagine I missed your actual request and am assigning it to the Wrong Sibling. PLEASE LET ME KNOW how these assignments sit with you; do you really want to come and get (one way or another) the items attached to your name below?
