Day 38 - So Much Stuff

In 1986, George Carlin first performed his “stuff” routine for Comic Relief, humorously telling us the hard truth about the things in our homes.

Here is how George Carlin sums it all up...

"A house is just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff."

And over the last 11 years, we have accumulated a lot "o" stuff.

We have a 20 foot container because we did not want to take a lot of the stuff that we have here.

So we have been selling a lot of our stuff, giving stuff away, and throwing stuff away.

We sold all our survival food. We had enough to feed 4 people for about a year. That helped make a dent, but not much. 

Got rid of  our can shelf, our 55 gallon water drums, and some of our other survival gear.

Our daughter and grand kids live with us. Because of that, we have a lot of baby stuff.

The nice thing is that we are taking some of our baby stuff to a friend so that they can build up their pile of baby stuff as we reduce our pile of stuff.

Even with all this stuff being sold and given away, we still have a lot of stuff.

Oh, here is a tip. You know all those books, DVDs, CDs and stuff like that? There is a great place called "Half Price Books" and they will gladly buy all this stuff from you. Now it is pennies on the dollar, but it is better than throwing the stuff away and not getting anything.

Stuff sold is always a good thing.

We are trying to sell our couch, which if we can get rid of it, it will give us room to stage stuff that we want take with us in the container.

Are you looking for a couch? It is pretty nice stuff.
