Stuff and Stuff

Cadaverous Pallor · 06-26-2007, 10:04 PM

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.
