As a veteran of too many moves, we've always discovered AFTER WE MOVE that we have too much stuff! When it comes off the van, we typically discover we've got a lot of stuff we didn't know we had; stuff we don't need; stuff we don't even want! It's just amazing how much stuff we humans accumulate!

This little article is worth reading a few weeks BEFORE you move!

I've been a member of freecycle for 3 years and I have lightened up quite a bit of burdon. I have also lightened others. More importantly, I have met and made some new friends too.

I've just "clipped" another little story which illustrates the value of "freecycling". It's the story of the travels of an old 10 pin bowling ball.

My bet is that almost EVERY home in North America has unused "stuff" stashed away. Stuff that will never be used again. Stuff that someone somewhere would use and value!

Do you have a story of useless stuff that you've carted around the world for years and years and years without giving it much conscious thought? It would be neat to start a theme on clipmarks.
