When was the last time you carried something and what was it?

Asked by flutherother (34823points) November 24th, 2023

I’m thinking of something fairly sizeable and heavy.

My hand is permanently f-ed up. So anything over a gallon of milk hurts. I was able to throw out a mostly full garbage bag to the dumpster yesterday.

The last really big item was a clothes hamper down 2.5 flights of a steep staircase. The date was a month ago.

A coffin (well actually a casket) last week.

Big bag of trash, from the kitchen to the outside trash can. Last night.

A steel bedframe that I ordered, about 35 pounds, to the second floor.

Practiced raising a 45 pound weight disc over my head yesterday. That’s about what it’s like when I lift the front end of our 90 pound 3-man canoe up and onto utility racks on my Ford F-150 pickup. EZPZ.

I was visiting my girlfriend and a bookcase kit arrived. It was left leaning against the side of her garage. The box was about 7 feet long by two feet by 18 inches. I went to move it and it was well over 150 lbs., Between the weight and the awkwardness of the shape, I could not lift it.

I ended up dragging it into her garage to be opened in there.

WOOD. Trees are heavy and dense.
I fell several trees over the summer and had many Ash fall from the ash boring beetle.
I then chain sawed them to log length over the course of the early fall.
I spend last weekend splitting them. Maples, Ash, and a couple Oak. Some as big as 4 feet in diameter. I now have cords of wood ready for winter heating.
Lifting, moving and manhandling trees is my recent reminder of heavy.

I’m guessing a bag of trash to the dumpster. Other than that, I’m not sure what, but it was probably 5–8 years ago. Have had 2 rotator cuff surgeries on each shoulder. Have to wear front-closing bras now; can’t reach behind far enough or high enough to wear back-closing ones.

I lifted my voice in song.

@janbb My spirits only come in bottles of approx. 1 liter, and when I lift my spirits, they are usually served with soda and over ice.

I carried a pile of laundry out to the laundry room.

I carried all of my college textbooks to the garage, several big boxes at a time.
