Are you throwing away all your kids' stuff under the name of 'junk'?! do
your kids know about this? Or is it a unilateral action? I am painfully
reminded of my father's jettissoned collections of jazz records, comic
books, and American product ads which his mother junked while his back was
turned. Nice going. I hope you have better discretion, but much more, I
hope that you're not throwing away a bunch of stuff your kids thought was
safe with you. -S

Oh, I'm soooooo glad to hear you say that.

I'm afraid my home was turning into a museum that
violated the Fourth Law.  I've spent days throwing
crap away, and I'm amazed at how much floor space I've
found.  Now that my youngest has fled the nest, it's
been how much junk can a junky junk if a junky wants
her house back?  Look Ma, no junk!

I must remember that one.  You can't save everything.

Don't send Martha Stewart over to help.  That goes to
the First Rule of Human Nature.  You can't save
everyone!
