She's been gone over 10 years. I think I can shred that stuff now.Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-44629534895348393682018-08-13T13:22:22.877-04:002018-08-13T13:22:22.877-04:00Seems as if the 'tossing' bug has hit lots...Seems as if the 'tossing' bug has hit lots of us although, at the moment,my particular infection deals more with clothing than papers.

I've been throwing and donating like crazy this summer, trying to weed out closets so they're not hazardous places when you open the door. Things are often hard to get rid of, especially if you attach an event or emotion to them. Good for you in being able to do that.Vonnie Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636934830795471572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-37842159999478359452018-08-13T10:05:34.168-04:002018-08-13T10:05:34.168-04:00We live in the country, so burning is permitted.

I'm planning a big party in the fall and will pile up stuff to burn until then.<br /><br />I had the hardest time getting rid of my old manuscripts and some of my old business and college papers. I figure I've hauled them around to about 15 different addresses over the years. Time to toss 'em. And you know what -- I haven't missed them!J Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016624838926050085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-3665776208174390652018-08-13T09:24:12.635-04:002018-08-13T09:24:12.635-04:00I still have all my notes from college in a box un...I still have all my notes from college in a box under my desk. Also, multiple copies of old manuscripts from back in the day when you had to mail hard copies. One has not been published yet, but the others are just clutter. Maybe after my summer job ends I'll get inspired!Jannine Gallanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047728297429025804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-63237080616719231302018-08-13T08:35:48.055-04:002018-08-13T08:35:48.055-04:00I've downsized a couple of times.

Then I shut the door and put it out of my mind. :-)Leah St. Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004006100786260893noreply@blogger.com
