1. Me neither.
I like what I have, but I am increasingly repulsed and am preferring to make more friends instead. Given my asperger's and ADD, it's hard to do - and then maintain friendships as they usually grow weary of me (:cry:) but I have to press on. For the future won't let me have much of anything at all. :-(

2. Are you getting old? I see that in old people.
We seem to forget stuff as we get older.I have giving away almost every thing I owned for some reason.

3. If you're not careful
your stuff starts owning you.

4. Yes, several years ago
after my parents had died and I got divorced, I jettisoned a lot of stuff. It was quite frankly choking me. I felt so bogged down with it, like a ship's anchor tied to me. (Before she died, my mom had enough furniture for two houses).

Anyway, I finally got up the nerve to call an auction house and they came and picked up a lot of stuff. Eight years later, I still haven't replaced a lot of it.
