randroid Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Shel, FerGawdsake keep the clothes! We dedicated our lives to Disco and it will return. It must return because that's the only time in recent history (other than in a line dance) when a room full of white folks even came close to looking like we knew why we were on a dance floor. -Randy Quote

BobT-47P15 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Darn.......I did away with my leisure suits years ago. Quote
oldmopar Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Shel, You are not looking at the situation correctly you do not have too much stuff you never have enough stuff and its always fun to get more stuff. The problem is you just need more room maybe a bigger house or garage to stuff your stuff in. Quote

Flatie46 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Oh, I agree with this totally! What I hate is buying something and later finding out I already had it but just couldn't find it. It's tough being a packrat sometimes. Quote
Jerry Roberts Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 I enjoy digging something out of the closet and finally finding a use for an item that I have been saving for 40 years . I have a 2 car garage and it still holds 2 cars as I try to save only the small stuff . Quote
greg g Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Someone once suggested putting some of your less important stuff in boxes. Then you put the date on the box. Then put the box away. If you open the box, you put the new date on the box. If a box goes untouched for 2 years, take it to the curb on trash day. This does not apply to car stuff, tools, hobby items, collector stuff, magazines, antiques, or other interesting old stuff, just your regular stuff. Quote

Joe Flanagan Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Have you ever noticed how everyone else's stuff is crap and your crap is stuff? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 when I bought my house in 1994 the owner was an older lady in a nursing home. The family moved the items away but left STUFF behind as well. Among that stuff was a set of bi-fold doors with etched glass panes..I stored that away, later moved it to the overhead of the garage that I built. Later I pushed it further along the inside of the usptairs wall..it laid there till bout 2 weeks ago, (15 years total) then the time came where I needed to build a cabinet for linens, whereupon I brought the door downstairs, built a cabinet and installed these doors. So while it was a long time in coming, they were of use to me in the end..its hard to throw some STUFF away.. Quote
Rider145 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 I probably would have forgotten it by then and bought new ones, then find it while I was putting the finishing screw on... Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 bad part is night before last I found another set of bi-fold foors that I had stored in the loft on the other end of the shop..this set I had no memory of even being up there..upon seeing them I faintly recall they were left behind in the house also..I now have two extra sets of bi-fold doors...I have boxes of stuff still packed from my move from SC to Georgia...I am the self proclaimed king of "packrat" never a dull moment...! Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Oh yeah......I did see a work bench in there somewhere. But I can't quite get to it. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 it is not a desk/table, its a flat top filing cabinet..duh! Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 my personal work area on the job is fairly good size..I keep it in proper order, clean neat and tidy..dusted and all forms signed off daily etc etc...this is about the hardest part of my job besides showing up in the morning...when I get home I am so busy with this that everything else I work till I just flat out peg my fun meter and kill the light switch..I figure it is not going anywhere by itself..

Niel Hoback Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 What I need is right over there by that box. Quote
David Strieb Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 wanna trade your stuff for my stuff? Quote
Niel Hoback Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Well, there,s a third wall like that and then the stuff in the rafters. How much would it cost to ship from Indiana to Washington? Quote
Flatie46 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Why is it someone else's stuff always looks more appealing than your own?Last year I thought of having a yard sale and when I started going through my stuff I realized I'd be crazy to sell all my stuff 'cause I'd have to go buy more. Quote
David Strieb Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 Niel, I'm sure the cost of shipping would be far less than the mental trama of keeping it all. How can you put a price on something you don't know you have, where it is, and will probally never need.....until you get rid of it!! Quote
