Then send it to me and I'll post it. <br /><br />Mom, I'd love to see your 7 sets of dishes or your collection of Christmas tress. Photograph that. Send it to me and I'll post it.<br /><br />Anyone else... your collection of vases. Your too many throw blankets... take a picture. Send it to me. <br /><br />loveinthetimeofforeclosure@gmail.com<br /><br />Thanks!<br />StephLove in the Time of Foreclosurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581087951938871708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199601217781594776.post-33300637324176275332009-06-17T12:58:29.072-05:002009-06-17T12:58:29.072-05:00I love moms...
Another great post. I think we all...I love moms...<br /><br />Another great post. I think we all get sucked into having too many things. We live in a society where supermarkets have 8 brands of spaghetti sauce. There is just so much excess. I have way too many kitchen utensils. I could stuff my condo with people from wall to wall and they could all have a fork. I don't know why. I also have all these random towels and sheet sets. I try to give stuff to Goodwill once or twice a year and every year I'm amazed at how much I have to give away. It's freeing.Kim Hooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04390764721793745017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199601217781594776.post-38520065271071675232009-06-17T10:27:44.302-05:002009-06-17T10:27:44.302-05:00Yay, Mom!

...Yay, Mom! Your first comment on Littof. Hooray. <br /><br />So, Bob just had an idea regarding your photo albums. I understand why you guys would want to hold onto them, but at $100 that's a big cost. What you could do is pay someone to digitally archive the photographs... then you'd always have them digitally and they wouldn't age any more, either. The cost of paying someone to archive them digitally is probably way less than what you're paying to store them. Just a thought. <br /><br />It's a process, isn't it? I'm in the middle of going through what's left in the house after the sale and deciding what to store, sell and give away. I have a feeling that when the house is completely empty and we have nothing but a couple of boxes and bags in the car, I am going to feel a huge sense of satisfaction. <br /><br />Okay- thanks for the comments everyone!

These are pictures of distant relatives from long ago.Who are these people we're paying $100 a month to store in moldy old albums?They sit on top of the 10 boxes of Christmas decorations we don't need and don't use.Boy am I ever going to start throwing stuff out.pam weinerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13977282123385925661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199601217781594776.post-24629191983535243612009-06-16T14:45:54.927-05:002009-06-16T14:45:54.927-05:00At our wedding we got what I called "the ugly...At our wedding we got what I called "the ugly vase collection" (as well as some non ugly vases that we still have) but I remember finding out that one horrific judaica vase was $200 so I felt like I couldn't get rid of it. It took up space. We never used it. Finally sold it at a yard sale for a few bucks. <br /><br />Mike has a box of albums that he hasn't opened in the entire time I've known him - we've been married 9 years. He doesn't own a turntable. And still we battle about getting rid of them. Probaby warped by now anyway! <br /><br />There is something enviable about having to let go - lightening up physically and metaphysically - it's why those organizing shows are a hit, why people charge 100 an hour to help you throw out stuff. But they don't go back to those clean sweep houses and see what else these people have collected since, do they?Jenniferhttp://www.juliaharryandme.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199601217781594776.post-28210528842621961682009-06-16T14:30:07.034-05:002009-06-16T14:30:07.034-05:00There are MANY things I could mention here, but be...There are MANY things I could mention here, but being from Texas, I have to mention my dad's gun collection. Really, how many guns do we actually need? Shotguns, rifles, pistols...so many brands, I've forgotten all of them.

I've just had them for so long they'd be hard to give up...I think I've always wanted to be the person who could live out of a small suitcase and not cling to material things, but I've realized I'm not that person. Though I am getting better about clutter. <br /><br />Other than buying that water pitcher. ;)NoHoJaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11477754519781909121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199601217781594776.post-44315460486814989572009-06-16T13:13:46.470-05:002009-06-16T13:13:46.470-05:00I have probably a dozen throw blankets, dating bac...I have probably a dozen throw blankets, dating back to my middle school years, I can't bring myself to throw out or give away, because there's a story behind all of them. But come on! I'm 5'9" and they don't even keep me covered on the couch, unless I'm in the fetal position. I need to let go of them.

Tried to give away a bunch on freecycle and no one wanted them! Apparently all of us have way, way too much stuff!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10011580561618652540noreply@blogger.com
