Mountain Deb.....you've discovered my life-long secret! I've always said at any given time, there is a room that is a "mess". I just put everything that doesn't fit anywhere else in the third bedroom and have been for years! Even when we moved to another house......the "mess" room is the third bedroom! When visitors come, we clear out the third bedroom and put things in various places. As I'm keying this in......it sounds like I go to alot of trouble dealing with the extra stuff INSTEAD of getting rid of it! Ha! Oh well.....we were able to donate much of my work clothing and about 5 unused suitcases to the home for domestic violence. We figured they could use clothes and suitcases to get to where they are safe. They even pick up the donations (secrecy and safety prevent them from disclosing the location).
