[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 108071, member: 47"] I have a hard time throwing anything away - I'm thinking in a past life I lived and died during the great depression. If there is a memory attached to whatever it is, I feel like I am ripping out my kidney to put it in the goodwill section of the garage LOL The past two months, during the Great difficult child Kitchen Remodel of 2007, I have been going thru the cabinets and drawers and have forced myself to just start clearing stuff out, since really, there are not too many memories connected. Found enough mismatched pots and pans to staff a soup kitchen or two, as well as dishes. I had 9 soft boiled egg cups - I can recall only once eating soft boilded eggs in the past 40 years, and I don't recall having 9 of them at one time. I now have two (just in case). 6 teapots, and I don't even DRINK tea I only have one cupboard to go, and that is the baking pans and stuff, which was handed down to me from my grandmother - they are all so old and dented when ever I make a cake, or do bread, they all come out with the same dents. I think a lot of my keeping "stuff" comes from a time when I didn't have much of anything, and was jazzed to receive new to me kinda things. Now it just keeps me from buying things I really would like cause it seems like a waste of money cause I already have those things even though they are old, dented, and probably hazaradous to your health to cook/eat off them. But I feel so much better already not having to look up and maybe duck because something fell out of a cupboard packed to the gills with stuff I haven't used in ever so long when I open the door. But gotta be honest, am soooo not ready to clean out my clothes cupboard - I gotta have those various sizes ready just in case I lose weight again. To give up my size 7's would be an acknowledgement that my chances of getting there again would be slim to none, despite knowing I could go out an buy a whole new wardrobe if I ever wanted to. Gotta stick my head in the sand when it comes to what fits and what doesn't Marcie [/QUOTE]
