[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 548441, member: 84"] When I find some boxes to transfer them to, I'll make a list of titles for you. I can tell you some are based on the original series, next generation, and deep space 9. Which is pretty good for me since I've spent years trying hard not to look at them. LOL (it might have been different if he'd kept them all in one place) I don't want to keep them in the yard bags for fear they'll wind up tossed by accident anyway. Inspiring?? Shoot........I feel like I'm bragging about how horribly dirty, cluttered, and a disaster my house has been. LOL Yet on the other hand, I have my bedroom back. :) Which is pretty awesome. And it only took 3 heavy bouts of cleaning to get there. (golly gee! omg ) But I'll be honest........sometimes I get started cleaning a room and it's just plain overwhelming, freaking monumental, especially when you're trying to figure out what to do with stuff and where to put it so 1. you can clean the area and 2. so it has it's own place when you're done. I've spent months just cleaning and tossing just to be able to actually do those two things.......and that is where I am now. It seems endless and sometimes I just want to say oh to heck with it, it's been there this long........ But for me a messy over cluttered house is depressing.
