Anything is preferable to paying a monthly fee for a storage unit. I will never succumb to that expense to house a bunch of junk that I really don’t need.

I’m with you. I need to have a garage sale, too. I had decided I didn’t have time to have garage sales and I would donate to Goodwill. Now, we’re having to take three weeks unpaid at work this summer, so I’m thinking a garage sale might not be a bad idea. Most of the crap we have is Mom’s, so hopefully we can convince her to part with some of it.

I have the detritus from dead people’s homes cluttering the upstairs of my house. It’s very aggravating, and I need to get ruthless with it.

Hey Jen. I wrote a recent post about all the weird stuff in my parents’ house. Talk about pack rats… http://bit.ly/pQQE5

Obviously, you are as good at scrapbooking as I am.

People often are surprised when I tell them that I have absolutely no interest in keeping memorabilia.

But I prefer to live in the moment. So All my memories are either in the garage or in the trash.

Definitely keep them. Those clams are not going to dig themselves.

“They” say misery loves company, but reading about how much you are like my wife and her mother (who lives with us) is not making me any less miserable. FOR I AM STILL STUCK IN A SMALL HOUSE FULL OF THEIR JUNK!!!

No, none of my stuff applies. For it is all very valuable–certainly not junk.

See, I am in 100% support of garage sales but look what happens when you start to go thru the stuff. You take a nice stroll down memory lane and then bam, you can’t part with it. It’s a vicious cycle.

Computers ruined everyone’s handwriting.

Might I suggest a bonfire/weenie roast? I’ll send marshmellows!
