Things That You Can't Throw Away!!!!

[reeshy]

<p>I have a few useless articles that I just can't part with.....they don't do anything....they aren't worth anything.....but I just have to have them around...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Like:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My wife's wedding ring</p><p>my RMP leather jacket when I was on NYPD</p><p>an old pair of sweat pants when I was in the USCG</p><p>ALL of the pictures of my family and friends taken over the years</p><p>My baseball glove when I was in High School</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>the list goes on and on......when I move...those are the first things I pack...fuck the furniture and everything else....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What's on your list?????&nbsp;</p>

[ChrisTheCop]

I've gotten a lot better at tossing things out that I no longer have any real need for, but I still have boxes that I never unpacked from when I moved into my house 6 years ago. They're mostly old trophies and plaques and I know I'll never display them so they stay in the attic. For some reason I feel it's wrong to just throw them out, though. <br />

<p>a Minnesota Vikings plaque i got for X-mas when i was 5 or 6. it will soon be 40 years old but not too too soon. i saw it at Greenes Sporting Goods when they were up in Journal Square as a kid and had to have it. It's sitting on the ledge in my basement and the only thing that's wrong is the sticker that makes the white horn on the side of the helmet came loose just a tiny bit on the end.</p>

I still can't get rid of papers I've written. I always feel like it took so long to do that I can't just throw it out. Plus maybe I could lend Earl my thesis on Dinosaur Arc Theory.

I just threw out a ton of stuff this summer but I still can't part with a few boxes of
crap and I don't know why! I have a huge box of old cassette tapes. A lot of them
I have on CD but I just can't throw them out for some reason. I also have old
filmmaking papers and storyboards from high school I can't toss, and old letters
from friends and boyfriends. I also have my old band t shirts that are stuffed away
in drawers. I'll never wear them again--why do I hold on to them?

To get rid of that, it requires a decontamination station and four months of rehabilitation therapy

<p>i have boxes and boxes of sports trading cards, mostly worthless 5 cent cards and for some reason i keep them,</p><p>&nbsp;i keep telling myself that one day i'll bring them to a sports trading cards show and make grab bags out of them and sell them for x amount of money just to get rid of them, and have a sign that says someones rookie card or other good card is potentially in there, just like the guys who did the same to me as i was growing up and collecting</p><p>so far i havent done it, but maybe one day</p>

i've always been a packrat.&nbsp; I hold onto everything.&nbsp; Until recently.&nbsp; I used to save anything my boyfriends gave me, but before i moved, i either threw it all out or sold it, including jewelry&nbsp; the only things i held onto were high school notes, and&nbsp;stuff my ex who died gave me.&nbsp; There's no way I'd ever part with the stuff from my ex Chris that died.&nbsp;
