Selector, I agree with everything you said. Thank you. <br /> <br />Let me get put up my feet and get comfortable on the shrink's couch here... <br /> <br />I've had some problems holding onto things for sentimental reasons over the years. This all changed a couple years ago when several family members and I moved my ill dad from his home. He had so much stuff there, it was unbelievable. I saw so many things I hadn't seen since I was five years old - stashed in sheds, closets, under workbenches, in toolboxes, etc. <br /> <br />Man, it was so much stuff, we were all in utter dis-belief. He was not a slob, but simply a master of stashing his stuff. A true master. <br /> <br />That very day, I realized how silly it was to hold onto things for sentimental reasons. <br /> <br />My wife and I have moved a couple times over the years, and I have gotten rid of a ton of stuff. My MRR magazines have been my last hold-out. I think because they cross the line of art and information. Fine pictures of fine layouts are like art. Tossing them seems like tossing paintings in the trash. It's time to let them go... (a tear rolls down my 1:87 cheek as I say good-bye to one of the many updates of the Utah Belt....) <br /> <br />Thanks for your tips man. Everything you said was dead on. Consider them recycled. (unless my wife determines they're worth ebaying). <br /> <br />Hey - I love the story of your father and the phone. That is awesome. Relates to many stories in my own life. You complain about something, it irritates you, you get annoyed, etc., until you finally get off your rear and do it. I love that story of your father - that's a perfect one to pass on to others for all areas of life.
