I should stipulate that there are things of which I will not get rid. For instance, in 36 years, I have never thrown away a book. Not once.
My mom was a book of the month member for years. I got all those too. I'm a big reader, but there were alot of them I wasn't interested in. So years ago I went thru picked out the ones I wanted. I did call the libaray and 2nd hand books stores, but no one wanted them. So those went to the trash. But if it's a book I bought, I don't throw them out. I don't mind reading a good book over.

Looks like I'm busted on that one. I've still got boxes of college text books.
Got a couple of other things that I never throw out or get rid of; photographs and guns.
My ex-wife has two of my old guns and I'm holding her Waterford crystal hostage until I get em back. :~)
