Sean will whine and complain about the things we end up purging - "it was a gift" ,"I've had that forever", "you never know when a book about the criminal code from 1983 will come in handy"...and on it goes. So now we have a system. When it becomes a candidate for a purge, it goes onto a hidden, high up shelf. If we don't miss it before the next quarter, it moves to a box. If we don't miss that before the next quarter, it goes (either to charity or a garage sale). So, it takes 6 months sometimes, but it's out of my immediate way and replaced with something much better/more practical/less ugly.<br /><br />I also told him that when we win the lotto and move into a big mansion, he can have a whole room to himself and he can decorate it with all the painted mirrors, neon beer signs and criminal codes he likes.<br /><br />LisaLisanoreply@blogger.com
