Sorry about that. It's a sore point for me.

Of course I too have my "junk closet" and my preparedness supplies.

Packus Raticus gene surely has survival value so a little is good.

I try to self-liberate periodically. Seems to work best when I'm feeling really grouchy (like when staying away from the TV during so-called Presidential Debates).

Last week I threw away a bunch of scanner (radio) frequency references that were nearly 20 years old and no longer accurate. I can throw stuff away when I'm ticked off then I feel SO much better :-)

Gotta be careful these days about what you put in the dumpster. Many places don't allow electronics in there anymore because of the lead content of the solder used to stick the parts together.

One trick that also works is to put stuff out during the neighborhood garage sale labelled : FREE! (Let the other packrats have it)
