Bev, you bring up something that MrJan and I are disagreeing about: what to keep, what to trash, what to donate. I'm a big believer in upcycling, donating anything that can be re-used, re-purposed, sold by GoodWill, etc. He just wants to trash everything that we don't use. I'm talking about things like kitchen utensils, books, puzzles, small appliances, Christmas lights that I think can be donated. How did we solve this? We didn't--everything is in piles in the basement and nothing is solved. Then there's the problem of some of my son's things: original StarWars toys, GI Joes, early video games. His house is picture perfect but he says he still wants those things and will get them "some day". Right now I'm so frustrated with all this that I think I'll leave it all in the basement and when I die someone else will have to deal with it LOL!!
