I have way too many blue dots in the MMO subforum.
I was going to make a kissy joke in response to this, then realized that no matter how I played it it would come off a the creepiest case of chicken pox ever, so nevermind.
Just found a dead mouse floating In The toilet. Luckily I have a strong stomach, but it sdoes somewhat kill off the need to pee.
jesus boy
what'd you eat?!

yes. I literally (LITERALLY) burned about 6 years of my life that had accumulated since I started this soul sucking job and actually -living- stopped being a priority. Boxes full of documents, junk mail with personal information on it, receipts, old financial records. Old college financial stuff, just total bullshit.
I had a 4 day weekend last weekend and over the course of 2 nights, I started a fire in the fireplace and my wife and I systematically burned it all.
It was glorious.
I won't lie. While nothing I burned was anything emotional on its own, it represented so much shit, it was like excising a lesion, slicing open a boil.
Creepy guy one time told my coworker that while she was giving him some tech support.
Also watched the hoarders ep with the rat man, jesus thats a lot of fucking rats.
When I started as tech support here, the first week on the job I was on the phone with this guy who told me he needed a moment. I was a little surprised but he set the phone down. He comes back a few minutes later and told me he had to adjust his ice pack. I'm getting ready to go on when he informs me he had a vasectomy the other day. I really wanted to tell him that perhaps he was over sharing.
Uhhh, yeah, I like to hang onto my stuff. But I lost all of that just under a year ago, except for a few shirts and a couple pairs of pants, so... that's not really the thing.
It's that my ex left all of her shit with me when she left, before she broke up with me. And, before she broke up with me, I'd been taking care of it for months, storing it in my car for her.
Now that I've started to get rid it, it's clearing out space in my mom's house. And it fees like there's more space in my life now, even though I've got no freedom to move around in it.
Besides which, hanging onto your ex's stuff just because you don't have the strength to look at it while you throw it away... that's not healthy. So getting rid of it is definitely a good thing.
Purge yourself of excessive stuff and feel the weight lift, dudes
I hoard things on my WoW server too

If you look at a bunch of stuff stacked in a corner of your life and you can't think of one legal, financial, or truly (TRULY) sentimental reason to keep, burn it.

So fucking liberating. It would make the staunchest Atheist have a religious moment, if only for a second.
Maybe, just maybe, that's how it makes you feel and it would make me reconsider killing myself?
Thankfully you burnt all your knives, rope and painkillers.
The train tracks are right over there

I have received a letter from Chris Abele, who is running for Milwaukee County Executive (the primary is February 15). It asks for money, and includes this utter failure of an analogy referring to the county's fiscal situation:
We need a greater sense of urgency. For too long, some have thought of this problem as a flight delay. We need to think of this problem as a plane flying at 30,000 feet, with both engines on fire.
I'm sorry, but if both my plane's engines are on fire, I'm not even bothering with any ideas to fix whatever problem there is. I'm too busy screaming, whipping out my cell phone and telling my loved ones goodbye before I explode in a gigantic fireball in a corn field.

I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.

If the idea of throwing away junk (as I've defined it) causes such a reaction, then that's probably something you'd need to discuss with your doctors because it's not healthy.

Well no we don't want any Elldren suicides.
That would be mega-depressing.
I am actually inclined by nature to be a pack rat, but I live in a small studio apt. so the option is mostly closed to me now. I do feel better when I make myself get rid of stuff, though.

I lost almost every single thing I'd owned since I was twelve years old. It could've filled a two-bedroom apartment and still been worth having, while leaving room for a little new furniture. I resent losing all of that.
But I'm free of it, too.

What you defined isn't junk.
YOU aren't healthy
If it isn't useful legally, financially, practically (don't really know how to define furniture and other accoutrement that you would use day to day) or sentimentally what use is it? I mean that literally covers every need at all to hang onto something other than "just because."
I am trying to remember the name of a science fiction short story in which a super computer is asked how to avoid the heat death of the universe. I thinks about it until all life in the universe is gone, with the final answer being 'let there be light.'
Damnit, what's its name and who wrote it?
