"Don't throw that out! I could use it later." and then you never do. (packrats unite)

[nerve]

I save everything, so may things, jars bottles papers boxes plastic pieces various scraps well, I'm not that bad. but probably bad enough to be called a packrat. now, I suppose I have a good excuse, the "creative" part of me cries out to hold on to things I can later make something with, artistic or practical. other things I can't explain, such as receipts. I just hate losing/destroying history, even it's most tiny and insignificant parts. are you a packrat? do you have serious qualms about throwing out: glass jars? old newspapers/magazines? stacks of papers you printed, but no longer need the information? empty boxes and bottles from food or other products? receipts (when not necessary for taxes)? anything else most people usually toss? post if you're a packrat! and post pictures! of your piles and stashes! I should have got a picture for this initial post... I will get one and post it later, if there are enough packrats here to give this thread a pulse ...GO!
