HAL9000
Honorable
Went through a (mildly) traumatic experience today.
For years I had a weekly subscription to 'New Scientist'. I never throw away any copies, so I had accumulated a few shelves of them.
But recently I have been thinking that I really should get rid of the stuff I never use. I haven't looked at any of these old issues ...for ever. So, it was off to the dump and into the re-cycling with them. And it was hard to just throw them away. After all, I had spent hundreds of Pounds acquiring them. But I can get a on-line membership and access any of the issues via the archive if I want to look something up.
Next is a sorting out of all my old computer equipment. That will be harder. And my shed/workshop is crammed with stuff relating to cars I no longer have. Also I don't do repairs for anyone else these days.
Difficult, but it has to be done. I'm getting old.
So, does anyone admit to being something resembling a hoarder ?
