Spring Cleaning - No Room For Sentimentality

[Gvac]

I've spent the better part of the day up in my attic going through tons of boxes, many of which were never unpacked when I moved in here 8 years ago. So far I've thrown out 2 garbage pails full of shit; mostly old trophies and souvenirs from vacations past. Some people say "how can you throw out memories?" but if they're packed away in an attic, how memorable can they be?

I've also discovered tons of old pictures that I never put into photo albums. Some are in the envelopes your pics would come in back in the days of film cameras (remember them?) but most are loose, all bent, torn, and faded. I'm trashing a bunch of them too.

It's amazing to me how much shit one person can accumulate, but I love the 'out with the old, in with the new' feeling I get when I dump all my old crap.

[Fallon]

I love spring cleaning, hate clutter. I don't have anything I don't use.

[Gvac]

You should see how much Cincinnati Criminals NFL gear and memorabilia I've tossed.

[TheMojoPin]

I wish I had an attic.

I have "clutter," bt I've never lived anywhere longer than 3 years, so I've got the art of keep it minimalized down to a fine art.

[Friday]

I am doing the same thing today, time to PURGE.

I'm also in the process of bringing the things I saved from my mom's apartment out of storage and to my own basement so I can sort through and discard, sell, give away.
I kept so little ... but there is still so MUCH!

Who the hell wants a box full of Beanie Babies?! :wacko:

Awww... you made sexy Bengal sad.

Trust me, the more space you have the more crap you hold on to.

I've got an attic, a basement, a shed, and a garage. It's not necessarily a good thing. There's always some place to 'store' something and thus you never throw anything out.

NO MORE!

I'm becoming a minimalist.

If you find any more Stones albums you don't want, I can take them from you at the next event!

[Mike Teacher]

Thought the thread was gonna be where we could post our experiences of telling people who love us to go fuck themselves and get out.

Damn.

I want to see Gvac's nooks and crannies.

[jonyrotn]

I'd Like to toss my winter mod quote and replace it with something a little more weather appropriate..Like...
"Is my thong on backwards?"

From what I've heard, there's crunchy stuff in them in the mornings.

My shed.

You're crazy if you think I'm going to open it.

[EliSnow]

I'd Like to toss my winter mod quote and replace it with something a little more weather appropriate..Like...
"Pardon me, is my thong on backwards?"

It should be more akin to your current mod quote, and yet weather appropriate.

How about "I have a summer house on Fire Island."

It's a rake shed, isn't it?

There's probably been thousands and thousands of rakes in there. Probably some really messy rakes, too. If you're not careful, those rakes can be pretty painful.

I'll tell you, if you need somebody to do some raking, it's Gvac. He loves to rake.

You're right..I really have to learn how to go back and check my work before I jump all over the Submit Reply button...

[BoondockSaint]

You should put that stuff on ebay? You know how much you could get for some authentic GVAC memorabilia?

[grlNIN]

faggot

You are oh so witty and none of the rest.

[Friday]

You are oh so witty and none of the rest.

just running with the bit, sweetie. :smile:

[grlNIN]

Sure that's it.

[Gvac]

Oh it's a bit, trust me NIN.

And a funny one at that if anyone was paying attention.

[Gvac]

One bit of sentimentality I came across that I won't allow myself to party with...the hottest pair of panties ever left by a lovely young lady from my past. Ahhh, memories....

I figured that would be the first thing you did

HAHAHAHA! Holy Freudian slip Batman!

[Gvac]

OK, I came across some AWESOME old pictures in my attic and I need some of you photoshop wizards to help me out in touching them up. They're old and faded.

Here I am at 4 years of age with my father. I caught that fluke but had to hand it over to dad to reel it in. If anyone can clean this pic up I'd greatly appreciate it.


http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s109/GregRotten/DadGreg.jpg


And here I am at age 6 with my sister. We were the ring bearer and flower girl at my uncle's wedding. Get a load of those dresses! Think they were hippies?


http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s109/GregRotten/Groooovy.jpg

[drjoek]

If I can make a suggestion before its too late. Throw everything away EXCEPT the pictures. No matter how bent scratched SAVE EM Someday you never know when you will want pictures.

[Gvac]

HAHAHA!

Nice avatar!

And I think I'll take your advice.

I've had a lot of laughs looking at some of these.

[Judge Smails]

I just threw out a crate of my wife's stuffed animals that was labled "IMPORTANT". That should be OK, right?

[midwestjeff]

My shed.

You're crazy if you think I'm going to open it.

Here's a pic from the last time he opened it.

You do look silly in that dress. Why did they make your sister wear a tux?

[Gvac]

Still no help with the photoshopping? :down:

nice! i was going to say you should just scan all your old pics before tossing, but it looks like you've already started on that. i really don't think they need to be touched up at all. and that could seriously be my parents' wedding.

Ha! I had forgotten about that little plastic dagger. I wouldn't leave home without it. Even when we went to church. I was convinced I might need it if a band of pirates attacked us.

[Tall_James]

Is that a fluke or a flounder?

[Tall_James]

Getting back to the topic of spring cleaning, its tougher when you have kids. By that I mean they don't want to let go of ANYTHING. You have to make sure they're out of the house when you do a culling of toys they no longer play with.

[Gvac]

Is that a fluke or a flounder?

I believe it's a fluke, which is in the flounder family. If I remember correctly, the fluke's eyes migrate to one side of the body whereas flounders are born with both eyes on one side of their head.

I could be wrong, and I'm far too lazy to research it right now.

[Tall_James]

http://www.highsocietyradio.net/pics/DadGreg.jpg

I was wondering why such a young kid would be wearing sunglasses. Then I chanced upon this picture of young Gvac and some of his childhood buddies.

Mystery solved.

A fluke is a flounder whose eyes have not metamorphosized yet. The other difference is that, when their eyes do metamorphosize, they move to the left side of the body vs. the right side of the body. Flounder with eyes on the right side of their body are called, Winter Flounder. Flounder with eyes on the left side of their body are called Summer Flounder or Fluke.

I have a hard time throwing out my daughter's stuff. She's my only child and I plan on having more children so I keep a lot of her things.

I really probably should get rid of a lot of it because I know I'd want to shop for a new baby but I'm sentimental and don't want to toss the baby years just yet. :glurps:

I'm impressed that Gvac had old skool Lou Reed's sunglasses, haircut and grimace at such a young age. What a li'l badass!

[Furtherman]

I cleaned my bathroom yesterday and it was difficult for me. I get tense when I have to clean. It sucks.

You know that OCD that some people have and they have to keep their places clean all the time? I wish I had that. Just a little bit of it.

Bro, I've got a cleaning lady who comes twice a month and makes my house shine. She dusts, vacuums, mops, cleans the bathroom better than I ever could, and only charges 50 bucks a pop.

It's sooo worth it.
