standup4me	9/28/2009 6:05:23 PM Trust me when I say you'll feel better about it when you've uncluttered your life, so to speak. Makes it easier to move in another direction without baggage of the past or unnecessary 'stuff'

altje	9/28/2009 7:41:17 PM Working on this myself - it seems to be a never-ending job!

morles	9/28/2009 10:20:21 PM I know the feeling...I am packing and sorting and giving away stuff (crap) for my folks here in Oregon...Yes I have lots more crap to add to my crap....Oh Crap...When is all this crap going to end......LOL You better hurry as it won't be long and Manila will be expiencing Snow Flurries...although I do remember back in 1984 I never took my boat out of the water there at the Flaming Gorge un Columbus Day..They already had all the docks pulled...so hurry and pack ...LOL
grits03	9/29/2009 12:29:28 AM To start a new life ten years ago, I got rid of everything and moved 2500 mi.to NM in my car. I even gave my mom's heirlooms to family, only keeping a small box. An E-sized plotter took up my entire back seat, and everything else was on a roof rack or in the trunk. Well, as people visited those heirlooms came back to me and I have a house FULL of junk! I'm right back where I started and I never did use the plotter.
muttmomma	9/29/2009 3:36:40 AM Does anybody else remember the George Carlin routine about 'STUFF"? I am such a pack rat....... I did, however, get rid of some clothing I shrank out of through two yard sales this year.
iamaperson	9/29/2009 3:59:05 AM I started that process a few years ago, and so far is going well. Now I am down to a one bedroom apartment, from a 3 bedroom/2 car garge house. I would ask myself "Do I REALLY need it" and "When was the last time I USED it". If the answer was NO/NEVER, it was gone.
foreveralady	9/29/2009 6:10:04 AM I'm not a pack-rat,but find it hard to get rid of certain things....I still had the thermometer that was used on my hubby when he had cancer...Why??...who knows...lol~~~~~have a good day----fal
lkavour92	9/29/2009 7:19:37 PM Irish lady, I must have 200 copies of "Architectural Digest" along with scads of books and other mags, shelf after shelf, I live in a trailer! Something must be done but I don't seem to have the strength to do it. MMMM.... Maybe the cook books...yes I think I am ready to let the cookbooks go..
