A last walk up memory lane for some "stuff"


As Samson tries to cute his way up onto my bed. I lay here just moments from going through the last of my stuff that will either be marked for death by dumpster or boxed up and moved on to my next place in life. Time to go do some manual labor so I can travel light!
Time for the shedding of what, in some cases, took 30+ years of "collecting"! I also have to go through and get rid of my Grams unclaimed freight. She had a 52 year head start. There isn't much left there that is of any value. So that will be more of a shlepping of stuff to the top of the hill kind of thing. I have gone through most of my stuff and already found some of my pops things :-), boxes of nic nacs and assorted brick a brack, some old photos (with bad hair and vintage clothing), a couple of my kiln baked art projects that have stood the test of time (the blind man pencil holder is my personal fav), a ton of car magazines and useless crap. Someone suggested that I hold a yard sale. Well I have mostly useless crap, with some junk, people buy junk, not useless crap and I couldn't even sell most of the junk at last years neighborhood yard sale. Actually, people do by useless crap, just look at eBay and you will be able to buy vast loads of useless crap for sale. I knew someone who bought a coffee can filled with expired beach tags for a dollar and sold two different bundles of them for $27 and $38 on eBay! "One born every minute" should now read "one logs on every minute"! I buy off of Amazon.com from time to time, but not useless crap, well not until at least 6 months of dust collects on it before it qualifies as such. To the excess that is the online shopping with free shipping world in which we live,exciting times indeed!
I'm going to go get rid of all the stuff I got the old "fasioned way".
Thanks for reading me
