Birthday joy to Mac. Love and hugs to you, msbelle. May he get a clue faster than mine.
Yeah, I have been in this house 20 years. The accumulation is something.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

I'm 19 years in this house, and I think having to redo the kitchen really helped with the accumulation problem, because I had to move so much stuff into the garage, I really cleared out a lot. Then I got shelving for the garage, and it's clear enough to even park my car inside. But I ended up dumping a lot of books...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My mother has been in the house for 40 years and it has an attic and basement each as large as the apartments. So you can imagine.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Only 9 years in my house and I easily doubled the amount of furniture I had when I moved in. I think I have fewer clothes though.
I am making lists of things to get rid of and am trying to offload a few things each month if I have the spoons.

12 years in this house which I still can't believe and I need to do some serious getting rid of stuff.
My parents have been in their place for (gets out calculator (turn of the century makes this hard!)) 33 years but they have been actively trying to get rid of accumulated stuff for probably half that time. There is still a lot of stuff but it is very organized and there could have been much much more.

I still have nightmares from cleaning out the house we lived in for ten years.

I've been in my apartment for 12 years now. Being a two bedroom flat, you'd think the amount of crap I can accumulate would be limited. And yet.
Happy birthday to Mac!

I wonder where I can get a club sandwich within walking distance of here.
I can understand why some people eat the same damn thing for lunch every day.
