Coming from a long line or disorganized pack rats, and the fact that I have moved 17 times in 18 years, I guess that has kept me pretty clean of junk.<br /><br />Here's how I take care of things:<br /><br />With the exception of the "hope clothes" (those clothes that I SWEAR I will get back into), if I haven't used it in 1-2 years, it's a goner.<br /><br />I do have my exceptions as well. I am a total bathroom whore. I have to MAKE myself go through those cabinets and drawers and get rid of all that crap that has been in there that I tell myself "but Michellllleeeee, I could use that someday! I just may need it!", even though I haven't touched it in four years.<br /><br />And I do have a ton of technical stuff that I do need.<br /><br />But you know what? I haven't missed a thing. <br /><br />I mean really. Does anyone need all that crap? No. If it's in storage, and you haven't seen it in one, two or five years, and you haven't USED it in that long, then you really and honestly haven't needed it, have you?<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />I'm a regular David Allen.<br /><br />I actually do live by his books. Never read another book after his five years ago, and never needed to.Absurdisthttp://www.theabsurdist.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-80234934831176055232010-08-16T16:33:30.229-04:002010-08-16T16:33:30.229-04:00I loved Watership Down, both the book and the movi...I loved Watership Down, both the book and the movie! When my kids got older, I donated it to our school library, where I assumed I would always be able to view it. Now I wish I had kept it for my grand kids instead. Oh well.<br /><br />Children can be very selfish. Sounds like your monster is used to getting what she wants if she yells loud enough. It's not your fault. Good for sticking to your guns on that... she needs to learn no means no.Ananda girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578471199205376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-67679256347845918672010-08-12T20:44:13.177-04:002010-08-12T20:44:13.177-04:00We did a massive cleanout of VHS a couple of weeks...We did a massive cleanout of VHS a couple of weeks ago, and I found a Watership Down VHS that I did not know we had.<br /><br />I saw this when it first came out once, and then last year on the free "on demand" on cable, and was stunned by how good it was.<br /><br />We decided to hang onto the VHS of it, since we don't have the DVD and it has been months since they showed it for free on cable.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
