Sorry that so many people think that keeping things is so bad and that it is an illness. Well, I've got a bad illness then because I cannot stand to see things thrown away.There is somebody who can use "stuff" and wants it, so I gather it, use it, look at it. give it to othersk -hey most quilters are glad to get fabric, evey scraps. I do remember the "depression " every well. We never missed a meal, not always what we wanted, wasn't always cavair, but we survived. Some persons who have reached the age of 80+ are of sound mind - even though doubted by some - have relatively good health and still passing out "junk" that was collected earlier and that that is being collected in the present days, and enjoying older folks and a few younger folks. Wish all 80+ persons could be so lucky. Thank God. missbelle
