[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4026065, member: 13337"] When I moved to my current place 16 years ago,,, I was able to move all of my belongings in one Chevy Van load. Now I have two haul-off dumpsters worth of just "stuff". This has to be my summer project,,, Getting ruthless and tossing things I've had for years. Most of the things are just worthless junk that evoke a fond memory,,, Like the empty 8mm Mauser case from the first time I shot a deer rifle. I hit the center X of a sight in target at 100 yards,,, I was too short to sit at the bench so I stood behind it,,, The gun knocked me right off of my feet but I still hit the bullseye. A friend told me to take digital pictures of these kinds of treasures,,, Make a small wallet sized print of each item and tack them to my wall. It does make sense because I can still look at the shot-glass,,, That I saved from my first date with my ex-wife,,, It always evokes a great memory for me. The reality is that my "stuff" only has meaning to me,,, So a picture of it should do in lieu of the real item. I don't want to burden the people who will have to handle my estate,,, Best I say farewell to this stuff now and be done with it. Now all I have to do is man up and do it! Aarond . [/QUOTE]
