I clean out and purge often, but manage to collect more. Since house is on market, I am once again going through things, with the proverbial sorting bins, one to keep, one to throw out, and one to Goodwill, etc....What bothers me, is lately on my size 8 jeans, I am having trouble buttoning jeans...What to do, wait until the weight from Christmas candy goes away or toss them and enjoy myself and eat whatever. I am going to try them all on today..ugh! My neighbor can wear the size 6-8 so they would go to a friend...I still have some famous autographs, antiques from my mother (in storage in Kansas with my son), antique fainting chair and antique desk which my son broke while moving it from Colorado to Kansas...Also have china from Harrods (Britain), steins from Germany, the usual, a lot of glassware (wine glasses, etc.) with Continental Airlines logo on it from days of flying....I do have a lot of shit....the really old collectibles are in Kansas, but you should see my garage. You would think it was 50 plus years accumulation. My mind doesn't work well if i am surrounded by clutter so I try to clean out stuff frequently. I have old cell phones and about 3 printers which I could never get to work. I finally bought a wireless and it worked one time...I don't know what to do with the electronics.
