What do you have too much/many of?

For me it’s shoes and clothes. I grew up lower middle class and we got two pairs of shoes a year - a “school” pair and a pair of tennis shoes. I also had to wear a lot of hand-me-downs from my cousin. Now that I can indulge myself, I do. I’ve realized it’s gotten somewhat out of hand and I need to stop buying stuff. I have shoes I haven’t even worn.

And you?

The average woman has 29 pairs of shoes, and you?

Me, i ve got too many opinions.

I’ve got close to 80 or so.

Rockets
Tools
Radios
Backpacks
Car insurance premiums

Dishes, glassware, and silverware. I have social phobia and can’t cook, so it’s not like I entertain.

Grey hairs.

Firearms. I’d like to sell most of them, but it would be hard to choose which ones. (I have a surplus of AR-15s, so I might just keep the Colts.)

Square footage. I need to sell this damned house.

Land. We’ve got about half an acre (as well as our regular garden) that we do nothing with except mow on a regular basis.
I’m thinking about planting some wild flowers (to attract bees, butterflies etc) and just letting a good chunk of it go wild.

Also, cars. At the moment I have four, two of them aren’t even running.

Shop-vacs. I have several, various sizes.
Guitars. I am a player of very limited abilities, yet I have at least ten very nice guitars.

Wild rabbits in our yard ! They’re pooping up a storm. YUCK!

Free meat!

I have too many pots and pans. I never really discard them, and they’ve had a way of piling up. I have a kitchen cabinet that I don’t even open, beause I know that it’s just full of old pots and pans that I’m not going to use.

I have too many books, but I can’t bring myself to get rid of any of them.

Yup, books. At least five 5-shelf bookcases full, some doubled up. LPs: several boxes full: jazz, rock, classical. I just sold a box of old 45 rpm records in mint condition. Mostly jazz, but some other stuff. Bought it for $35 at an estate sale, sold for $100. Paper: fucking hell, the paper you accumulate is just astounding. And it just sits in boxes in the basement.

Three closets full of t-shirts, plus more packed away in cartons.

And of course books.

And cat hair.

I forgot about that.

I think if I gathered up all the cat hair in my house I could knit another cat.

Or, you know, a dozen.

Student loans

books. Books. BOOKS!!! And I want to keep and re-read and re-re-read every last one of 'em. And then I want some more BOOKS !!!

The majority of my books are now in boxes and have been, since we moved to our new old-crate-of-a-house fully a year ago. I also selectively inherited quite a few more b**ks from my late father, when I had to sort out his possessions last November at Thanksgiving. Talk about pressure!

Trouble is … the house needs extensive rehabbing (including electrical wiring inside the walls and new flooring everywhere) … and WE HAVE NO BOOKCASES to put up next to the walls, which all also need wallpaper stripping & new wallpaper. Et cetera.

But we DO have Goodwill. A fabulous source of CHEAP FASCINATING B**KS !!! :smack::smack::smack:

And, yes, what books I do have “out” are stacked all over the place. :frowning:

Thats a great idea, at first it might look a bit ratty but if you help it along by adding some native shrubery and possibly a natural pond it will gradually become a thing of some beauty.
