Can hardly bear to put my clothes in the charity bag. I'm weird, I get attached to some clothes even if I've not worn them in years. <BR/><BR/>I have this fear I'll end up like those old women whose houses are filled with piles of newspapers and bin sacks and have about thirty cats roaming the place. Not if my husband has anything to do with it though. He says no more cats when my last little ones have snuffed it. They're both about twenty!<BR/><BR/>Best of luck!Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-77210674068557818702009-01-06T13:39:00.000-06:002009-01-06T13:39:00.000-06:00Congrats!

Mine pile up, then I will go through and discard several months at a time. <BR/><BR/>I am cleanng out my files, so my trash this week is full of old papers. This reveals that I don't throw any receipts or odd papers away. It also reveals that I will print stuff off the internet that I don't really need or want.Sweet Virginia Breezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00880471609039337533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-25671304411081465922009-01-06T12:20:00.000-06:002009-01-06T12:20:00.000-06:00I was going to post about this today but something...I was going to post about this today but something else came up.

They say that IF you don't use something for a year, then get rid of it. SO---I try to do that, but it's hard. BECAUSE--usually when I get rid of something, I'll need it or want it a few months later. SO---what to do???<BR/><BR/>These days our trash consists mostly of things we take to the recycle center. It's amazing how much we take there EVERY week. I'm so happy to be recycling now --as opposed to a few years ago when I didn't bother. Shame on me!!!<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-17669896404337784762009-01-06T08:33:00.000-06:002009-01-06T08:33:00.000-06:00I have been discarding clothes.

I think this says that I am a giver, care about other people. It also says that these clothes have hung in my closet way too long and need to find a new home. I'm trying to minimize the things I've got hanging around and in drawers. So I guess I'm trying to be more organized too!
