[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 129644, member: 1697"] Linda, I do not think I could toss any books. I still have some of my HS textbooks (amuseing to look at them and see how some things have changed) All my textbooks from college, and all my recreational reading. OK I admit, husband often says we are gonna hafta buy a seperate house just for my books! (He does not read, never ever) I did not keep ALL the childrens books, but I kept a lot of them. I do, however keep looking at my clothing closet......and my jewelry box (I used to sell Avon for 25+ years and have almost all the jewelry thye made during that time, but never wear any of it) The kids found it laughable and fun recently when I dragged out an outfit I wore the day Imet husband just about 25 years ago.....and the dress I wore for our first anniversary.......LOL. we do have lots of things some of us have not touched in 6 months. Sometimes it is becuz my health stinks, sometimes cuz I have been at Ronald McDonald House too much.....6 months does not mean much here as a good timeframe for decideing we do not need or want something, anymore. Yikes our house is full. I think my kids inhereited my thing for haveing "things" I feel cozy surrounded by our treasures. I think they do, too. I hope kt feels better soon. My easy child is home yet again today. I wonder if the bitter cold is whats helping keep her miserable? Yup- it is nasty wicked bitter cold,.
