What's this?

I threw so much of my mother's clutter and knickknacks away, in 2009

when she moved into assisted living or last year after her death, what didn't go to bequests or Goodwill. I do not want to continue that family "tradition".

My wife and I moved 5 times in our first 3 years together until we eventually lived together after the 4th (renting) and 5th (home owners) moves, and all along the way, there were numerous trips to the dump, the ReStore, Goodwill, etc., and yet here we are again, facing the horrid specter of the unregulated life.
