Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I was born with the packrat gene that runs in my family. There is indeed a ratpack gene and it runs very strongly in my family. Newer houses are not built with a lot of storage and that is probably a good thing. Anyway, I FEAR turning into my family and fight traces of it. I have a very hard time getting rid of certain things, like books. As both a rat packer and a former English major, books stick to me like glue. On New Years weekend I actually took every single thing out of my walk in closet and took four HUGE garbage bags to the Good Will drop off ( perfectly good clothes in that closet but in four different sizes. Can you relate?) But its a tough gene to have to live with. Janet JanetWho's never won? Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 HI FOLKS, Books make a major contribution to my clutter. Last year I found a AAUW (Amerian Assocition of Univesity Women) Were gathering books for resale. I felt much better donating books to an organization who wanted books. Hopefully people bought at least swomer of them. I need to do it again. BobDreamOn145@... wrote: In a message dated 1/25/2008 11:12:13 P.M.
