Hyperception is like cag and the others. That's why we pay for two storage rooms, plus have a shed full of stuff at FIL's and a laundry room full of stuff here.

I'd have to list about half of the things in my house, and most especially my wardrobe. No matter how often I clean things out, I seem to have an entire mountain of things that I really don't need.
Has anyone seen my keys?

I recently started a purge of my house and found that I have most of all the things that most of my ex-bfs ever gave me, including the sappy "Ilove you" cards that I got when they still did. I find the purge of these items kind of sad yet releasing at the same time.

My heart. . . I keep it, but I don't know why I do, at least sometimes.

Well if you have Kevin's Watch and you don't need it, give it back to him. No wonder poor Kevin shows up late for everything. :biggrin:

I do the same thing. :)

I also keep every instruction manual to everything I ever buy that requires one. But I NEVER look at them. :P

Almost everything I own (except for my books) is something I keep and don't need. But I still want all (well, most) of it!

My sanity. I definitely don't need it; I haven't used it in years. I'd throw it away, but I don't remember where I put it.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

My ex-fiance made me get rid of everything that I had from previous relationships--down to most of the pictures I had taken over a 4 year period when I was with a prior boyfriend. My ex is the jealous type. :evil:

Pretty much what I was going to say!

It's time I do that too, but then again, I'll never know when I'll need them.

The majority of mine were old shirts from high school that I don't care about anymore except for three that have special significance. A lot of old ones that sort-of fit also, but I have plenty that fit perfect, so I don't need 'em.
