Hi all,
I am getting rid of things that are never used, and I'll never have closure with some.
I sold my engagement ring!
One is an Onyx Chess set that my daughter bought for me. I know she paid over $100.00 for it from her allowance and we played on it, but after she left to marry the N, it was never used, except for once with a young boy I 'sat' when his mother went out. Then I had chess on the computer and the whole world changed.
I have mentioned my addiction to DVD movies, and have 227. I must sell them, except for 5 I want to keep. I have no more room and am making room as I don't plan on giving up on buying DVDs.
Sell my CDs
Sell my Cassettes
Sell my VHS tapes.
Funny how there is always someone interested in weird things.
I have advertised some things free.
I have advertised my good chinaware. Oh it is sad. It is Easterling of Canada's 'Starburst' that I bought 50 years ago at age 19 for my hopeless chest. There are 12 place settings, and each setting has 8 pieces. I used it when Joe brought Charlie home for dinner: two guys in construction, but they ate dinner on good chinaware. Joe is dead and I don't know where Charlie is. The chinaware followed me around then, from 1966 until now, and never used in 42 years
I packed it in Ontario , in 1998, and hope to hell the N didn't smash it around, as he knew what I liked/LOVED in my belongings.
The 3 boxes are still in my closet unpacked in 10 years.
I gave my daughter my good silverware for Xmas back in about'97? She didn't seem at all pleased...but I wanted her to have something I loved. 12 place settings for my 12 of chinaware. But she has it and maybe my granddaughter will get it....whatever.
Obviously living in an apt. everywhere, except my house for 12 years, I would never have had room for 12 for dinner. I was following what my 2 elder sisters did.
Oh yes and even bought the same cookware as my eldest sister. I've used that plenty, and still do, but Tefal came into being and there ya go!
'Changing' understood about getting rid of things, no matter what, if no longer used, and when she started, she called herself 'izzified'.
