Packrat Or Sweeper?, Which one are you?

Ok, so there are STILL things that I am packrat about. I hold on to my fishing tackle in hopes I will one day get to use it. I have lures that I have used and carried around for a LONG time. They are very big........

For me it will have to be sat. afternooon. Sat. morning I have to go to Borger. Wal-Mart, United and beer store. Sun. is 50% water changes for 5 aquariums, bills and laundry.

Ok first take a deep breath oookkk, slow down girl! We will get it done. Saturday afternoon it is. I think I need to buy new shelf liner I am sure mine is old. I am going to have to get myself mentally ready for this there is no backing out right? Oh may be we will find something we have been missing. Like the year 2000 foods ugh!!! What time zone are you? What do you think of posting before and then after we are all done? We don't have to just more of a reason to get it done... Any whooo talk soon..

To the SWEEPERS

P.S. With out the Pack Rats we wouldn't have a job now would we hmmmm

I'm a sweeper!

I've found over the years that simplier is better!

That less is more!

Do you really need all of those dust collectors?

Do you feel like dusting?


I've found other more important things like people in my life, not possessions!

So over the years I've been pitching or just giving it away to simplyfy.

May I get in line?

Annabelle, glad to know you are also a sweeper. What you said about the people part is so true. It's really hard to find darn good friends. I do find my pantry and cubboards are difficult to keep.
Carolina Scotsman you know you can jump in here any given time.. Another sweeper are ya?

Here's to Sweepin

Darn maisky, I was hoping to get your tackle! Oh well guess I will do without those big expensive lures!!! I hope you will get the time and catch ya a big one on it!!

Speaking of fishing tackle, I'm glad my dad is a pack rat... he's got the coolest old aluminum-looking tackle box and the lures are charming, many hand-painted and a bit worn with use.

Being an artist, I see them as potential subjects for a still life painting!

Siobhan

hey there Siobhan Blues, that is one advantage of keeping things. That would make a wonderful painting. How would you do it? How would you arrange them etc? I have some of my Fathers tackle, old fly reels, tackle boxes, I am even saving his leather fly case with original flies in it. Anyhow if nothing else its great to have and hold and remember.

Ok Val I see you are on line also. I am going to get started I will post when I am done. It is below zero out and there are no excuses right? Wish me luck..

I am done. I can't believe how much old food I had in there. Luckily no weevils or any other strange things. I hope you enjoyed yours Val as much as I did. Hope you are done. Have a good evening. Thanks for the encouragement!

Hi all,
I think I'm somewhat in the middle. I like to keep certain momentos of past good times, but at the same time like a neat home. I keep a little clutter (like my desk) but it is contained in one place. There are certain things you have to get rid of though (like ex-boyfriend related items... and old clothes that don't fit!). I keep the important stuff!

Hi Medic, you know I think that is the perfect place to be. I hate clutter of any sort. If I have clutter my mind is cluttered. It drives me crazy. I really admire people who have it all together like yourself. Hope you are enjoying the forums...

Actually they can be quite tatsy - on a cracker, with a little salsa!
