Stuff and Stuff - Page 3

I am proud of myself. I soent a weekend in DLR and didn't come home with bags of useless stuff. I bought myself a new purse and a tote bag, and that was it.

Most of my stuff is Bon Jovi related and it's getting out of hand lmao.... clothes are multiplying by themselves so it seems. My collection is growing to the point it's all i wear or most of what i wear.

I have two boxes full of videos, dvd's, singles, extra cd's and a huge pile under the coffee table and ontop of the coffee table now. One dresser in our bedroom is full of stuff (binders full of pictures). I swear i don't know where to put them i wanted to have them under the coffee table but i just have too much stuff under there (DVD's, special cd's, pictures, scrapbooks, magazines) lmao...

And i'm working on scrapbooking pictures from the concerts. Already finished one scrapbook and workin on another so i have stuff all over the floor lmao...

"Stuff" is the muthertruckin' bomb, yo!

If you are like me, you donate EVERYTHING to charity. That is what I do! I donate a psycho amount of outfits each year (I have monster clothes issues- Oops!)

And shoes, too.

When people are so grateful for my donations, it makes me wanna scream yelps of joy! I love donating!

! It stems back from a trip to Indonesia Islands. When people loved the $$ I gave them, I could'nt stop! I want everybody to be fulfilled!!

I can't possibly use everything I have! I would rather it go to others.

How crazy you just started this thread, BTD....last week I took the first tiny steps towards getting rid of a mountain of stuff. I began scanning my papers. I have always saved sentimental letters, receipts, notes, you name it, in shoe boxes. I have about 10 of those boxes, as well as bigger boxes with bulkier items, and I'm sick of them. I love all the memories though. So I decided to take LashStoat's advice and scan/photograph it and get rid of it. It's a much more modern way to be a packrat, I figure.

Not only did I just start that last week - I just got an email from an old friend that she's doing the same, and wants to meet in a month's time to swap scanned photos that she originally took with *gasp* a film camera. Must be something in the air...

Oh, it's hard to get rid of the "ex-boyfriend- ex-fiancee" letters. I always save those. Maybe for future I was once-worthy-of-love "proof"! .

Most of my stuff is in storage right now. And I am getting a long fine without it. I wonder though, will I be able to get along without it once I have my own place again? Is it a matter of circumstance that I don't need the boxes of random cables and wires? Or the box that has all the knicknacks I can't seem to part with otherwise? Time will tell.

In the mean time I need to go through my closet again and take stuff to donate. Part of the problem with some of my clothes is that they aren't bad enough to throw out but they aren't good enough to donate. That pair of jeans that has a few more wears in it. The shoes that look great on the outside but are trashed on the inside. Stuff like that.

Target will take negatives and put them on CDs. It's pretty reasonable too - I think it's 100 photos per CD and it's $6 per CD. Of course this only works if you have negatives to go with the film photos.

Hey, don't do this to me, k? I went there and searched and searched and found nada. I can't resist that kind of digging!

I'm sure I posted something about having too much crap - just another issue of mine that I've tried to psychoanalyze online.

Morrigoon · 06-26-2007, 10:16 PM

I love my stuff. I can't stand paper though, and that crap just builds and builds.

CP I think it was when you were moving and you talked about the cheesy birthday gifts like your name in hot glued ribbon and roses and glitter.

Stan4dSteph · 06-27-2007, 06:26 AM

I've purged quite a lot of old clothes that are too big for me now. It's still hard to get rid of some things that I may never wear again but have sentimental value.

I'm thinking of doing a garage sale later this summer to get rid of some of my stuff and use it as a fundraiser for Team in Training.
