robbyI went through every cupboard and closet today, and threw out every useless thing I own.
It's a liberating experience, I am sort of a minimalist, and honestly think owning too much stuff is oppressive. I threw away repair manuals and auto parts for cars I no longer own, lots of paperback books, free AOL disks, bank statements and papers, accounting books from college, lots of broken and obsolete electronics, shoes that are worn out or uncomfortable. I ended up with a cubic yard of crap that cost $10 to dump.
I have tendencies to accumulate junk, but realize and resist the impulse, unlike people I won't mention. I didn't throw out any clothes, but I did, following the sound advice of my dear friend, the lovely Miss Joan Crawford, throw away all my wire clothes hangers.
It would have been more correct to sort out things that other people might have wanted, but I don't have the time or patience, and literally backed up a truck and swept through the house, room by room, and got rid of things. But don't cry for me, I still have two extra home computers, a hundred books, an extra cordless phone I have to test, a broken oscilloscope, three battery chargers, Spanish and Russian home study courses,and .69 caliber flintlock pistol.
