So the people that paid their college loans back on time like me and many others get to finance the deadbeats. The responsible American Citizen is screwed, yet again, by the Democrats.  I hate them and the UniParty.

I have outgoing mail.  I put the flag up.  The mail person comes and puts incoming mail in the box and drives off without taking the outgoing.

This NEVER used to happen.  What the fucking fuck is wrong with people anymore?

You could live in the Atlanta area where the huge new ultra modern sorting facility they built causes us not get mail for weeks.

My wife and I have two small plastic containers with the letters we wrote each other when she was back in Florida and I was in Illinois.  We sat down one night to read through some and didn't get far.

I have a plastic box containing all the letters my grandfather wrote to my grandmother from France during WWI.  This was the same set of grandparents that got married in 1916. 

“Chunk of wire”… I’ve got all types of wires and cables and computer components from back when I built my own computers that I will never use. It’s cheaper now to just buy a computer and they get outdated so fast anyway, it’s not worth the time and trouble to build your own.  Besides my current office is too tiny, nowhere to work anyway.  But I’m having a hard time tossing that big reel of cat 5, old monitors, cases, spare wifi, power cords, adapters, etc etc etc.  “Some day I might need this!”  Yeah right.

Yep.  A reel of cat 5, a box of connectors, a couple switches, a few routers.  But now the whole house is on wireless so they just sit there.  A TRUNK of electric power wire and surge protectors.  A box of random "computer cables".  Another box of USB cables of various sizes and still not the one I need.  A drawer full of disk drives that I might use someday.  I finally threw out the old computer carcasses with questionable power supplies.  A pile of old Ham radio handhelds that are still pretty cool.  Can't wait to retire and get rid of my reference books to free up some shelves for the more important things.

Bins of clothes that are too small, bins of clothes that are too big.

STILL too much junk.

I agree with so much of what you said that I am about to embark on an old cable-ectomy of my office.
I have dozens of VGA cables, 30 pin apple cables, RCA and Composite cables, scores of USB and Micro USB cables, computer power cords, RS232 cables, parallel printer cables, tons of cat 5 jumper cables, stereo audio cables and cables I don't even recognize any more.  Even if I were to find a use for two or three of them, I don't need hundreds of them cluttering up my drawers and shelves and boxes.

But one thing I'm not allowed to throw away.  My wife has an odd attachment to her '50s era Encyclopedia Britannica.  I counted it up and we have moved them 11 times, unless I forgot a move.

Last week I went through my file cabinets and cleaned out enough old paid bills, credit card statements, bank statements and tons of old health insurance, car insurance, house insurance, flood insurance policies along with hundreds of old warranty cards and more.  I filled up 4 old copy paper boxes and took them to the business I sold where they have a commercial shredding contract.

Several times I went to the garage to thin it out, but I can't identify more than a few pounds of stuff.  It never fails that if I throw anything out, the next week I will need it, even if I hadn't needed it in the past 20 years.  But perhaps I'll give that another try too.

All that paper stuff you’re talking about, I went through mom’s and came up with about 60 pounds of paper to take to be shredded.  Came across some wild stuff there too.  She won a class action suit about 20 years ago that would have paid $900 to her estate if she died within 12 months of the date of the settlement. WTF?  She didn’t of course.  Useless.
