Slitherine

My wife and I declared war on the house this weekend. I think it was somewhat inspired by her watching "Hoarders", but be that as it may.

So I tackled the closet under the stairs. (No Harry Potter, he wouldn't have lived) Either throwing out or donating four or so bags of shoes, coats, backpacks, etc.

Afterward, I tackled my collection of tech crap.

throwing away
4 ribbon cables
4 power cords (really, everything is already hooked up)
4 sticks of old ram, 2 were dodgy
4 old video cards
a power supply
masses of old cables
a cd rom read only drive
manuals for motherboards I threw away years ago
games from probably before Panzer General
manuals and games I didn't like that much after I bought them
boxes for things I wondered why I ever bought
3 vga - dvi adapters (ok, haven't thrown them away, have to figure out the best one first... even odds on they all stay.)

Still keeping
IL-2 and expansions and manuals
CIV IV manual and CDs
Dragon Age
a couple of other favs
Electrical tape (that is where it went!)
Dry wall spreader... I need to touch up, so one less expense

Still, throwing those things away gives me a bit of heartburn. Anyone else?

You should watch toy story 3. And you will see what happens with the "trash" you throw away.

Dude, ever hear of e-bay? Weird people will buy your junk= you make some of your money back...win-win.

"Still, throwing those things away gives me a bit of heartburn. Anyone else?"

It's not the throwing away that gives me heartburn, it is coming to grips with the fact I spent money on things I clearly spent too little time thinking about, that gives me the heart burn.

I have a number of ostensibly good wargames, that I bought as digital downloads, that ME personally, I simply did NOT really need that game.

I am too much the addict when it comes to some things.

I don't mind having a lot of stuff if it is at least getting used.
