Default Compulsive Hoarding....Do You Know Someone LIke This?

Not a problem in my case- every 3-6 months, I rent a two yard
dumpster, and anything that I haven't used since I rented the last one
either goes in there, or is given away or sold if it is something that
might be of value to someone.

Never understood the concept of hording- if I'm not going to use it, I
don't want it.


I'm with you. I have a client who owns a dumpster business and he lets
me have a 6 yard dumpster for a couple of weeks a cpl of times a year.
I pay to have it emptied, but that's not too bad. I have two boxes that
used to contain kitchen sinks. One is for pieces of wood for the kid's
wiener roast parties, the other for fine pieces of other woods/odd
coloured solid surface. The rest goes to the dump. It is hard for me to
get my head around throwing a (once) $ 3000.00 300 dpi laser printer in
the dumpster.... but I have. Once in a blue moon, I'll boot my 128K
macintosh.. that one is staying. I did finally toss a 2-gig Fujitsu
hard drive, the size of a breadbox, just couldn't afford the
electricity bills to spool it up. It suffered from the odd bout of
'sticktion', we all know what that feels like.

Time for another 6 yard bucket.
