I guess it's because I'm nosy and love looking at peoples' stuff! <BR/><BR/>Only works if it's not my place though-- good thing my beau's a neat freak.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472824248832737141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19735801.post-53504820713815686712008-02-06T17:21:00.000-05:002008-02-06T17:21:00.000-05:00LAW - thanks for those tips:) i definitely have s...LAW - thanks for those tips:) i definitely have sorted out the majority of our family treasures/meaningful items when we moved here in 05. Created a storage unit that we'd unpack after retirement and had just enough to put in the house of sentimental items (lladros, couple china tea cups..those sort of items). Now since we'll only get 25% of the regular weight allowance while going to Korea, I am doing the same drill again. And for the most part as I go through items, I am like, I just want to sell/freecyle the majority of everything. <BR/><BR/><BR/>thanks :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01188131550597682052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19735801.post-54815209873800961792008-02-06T12:39:00.000-05:002008-02-06T12:39:00.000-05:00Mel - do you use it all the time. do you NEED it....Mel - do you use it all the time. do you NEED it. Have you used it in the last 6 months - 1 year. If you say NO to these - either get rid of it, or put it into storage. OR - do you cherish and treasure it? if you do, can you live without it for 2 years. Don't forget - clearing the decks means SHOPPING!! If this means a lot to you, it's a family treasure, pack it carefully and put into storage, you don't want to take the chance of it either being stolen or broken.<BR/><BR/>LAWliberal army wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182419669662838404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19735801.post-25092529625093532812008-02-06T12:31:00.000-05:002008-02-06T12:31:00.000-05:00man, i wish i was still in the dc area...i need th...man, i wish i was still in the dc area...i need that shovel hitting me from behind as i prepare to get this house on the market. meanwhile, i am assessing what we truly need to have as most stuff will be going into storage for the next two years with a weight limit going to Korea. any hints or guidelines you got from that weekend of watching the show as to thresholds for keeping stuff?:)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01188131550597682052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19735801.post-33999622011517214612008-02-05T19:19:00.000-05:002008-02-05T19:19:00.000-05:00Oh, how I wish I were in the DC area, and we could...Oh, how I wish I were in the DC area, and we could spend a Saturday reorganizing my place!

The problem was that it has absolutely no shelves, so getting anything OUT of it was a disaster. Finally, we bought some cheap plastic shelves at Lowe's. I spent an afternoon putting it together and reorganizing. It felt sooo good. Now I have to stop myself from showing it to people every time they come over!Ann M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07450730528995565892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19735801.post-11203883554740114682008-02-04T09:25:00.000-05:002008-02-04T09:25:00.000-05:00I totally agree that organizing helps when they ar...I totally agree that organizing helps when they are away.
