This weekend I am ruthlessly murdering clutter and old paperwork. I'm being draconian in stomping on sentimentality. This has needed to happen for a very long time.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am just in from the Great British Beer Festival. Between us I think we tried about twenty five beers.
I hope everyone else's days have been filled with beer and pies.

Ooh pie.
Jars just made me want a pasty. Stoopid London, not being within walking distance.

My new cleaning phrase is "keeping [x] would put the "mental" in "sentimental."
I am also spending the weekend shoveling crap out of my office so it can get drywalled and painted. Too Much Stuff.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I've gotten better about purging, but struggle to get it out of the house. Piles of stuff everywhere to mail, sell, donate.
Sean, what's your tag from?

Teppy, I hope that you're feeling better. I once asked a friend why he still had naked photos of his exGF who he hated (long story as to how it came up), and essentially he said - 1. It's a naked picture of a girl. 2. It's a naked picture of someone that he had good sex with and 3. He enjoyed that she let him take naked pictures of her.
I advised him that his current GF would not appreciate them, and he should get rid of them. He allowed as to I was right. But I'm not sure that he got rid of them, he might have just hidden them better. @@

Has anyone had any luck in getting a Significant Other to give up his clutter? Much of Hubby's junk actually does trigger memories he wouldn't otherwise be able to access, and he find it an unconscionable waste to get rid of stuff that might be useful. I won't even go into trying to get him to acknowledge that he won't get to the wonderful projects he has in mind for stuff.
