My Master came to visit me from Indiana 2 years ago on a train. He was supposed to stay for a week. He never left. About a month later he went to Indiana to get his "stuff" and came back with a navy bag full of clothes and a cat. Of course, everything "we" own belongs to him, so he inherited alot. LOL

stuffed animals. He brought stuffies. He put them up on the dresser next to mine. One is a purple flamingo!

when I moved to Hawaii 7 years ago, I sold most of my stuff. Tools I had had for years, but were not worth moving. Other ods and ends. The only thing I wish I had moved was an old cast iron bed frame. Oh well. I did move a couple of heavy leather jackets. They have been mildewing in my closet for 7 years.

Just a note of caution. Do NOT let the post office ship your computer. When it got here, the monitor was shot, and the case of the tower was bent, with lots of little boards rattling around inside. I think "fragile" to the post office means...How far can we throw it.

what a timely topic...

TheEngineer asked me (with worry in his voice) last night how much stuff i am bringing to his house. and i have been sorting and tossing and made one trip to the salvation army to donate stuff, have another load to go right now...

do i REALLY need the yearbooks that i havent looked at in 3 years? and there's a shelf full of photo albums, those need to be gone through. not to mention the box of loose photos, and the wall o photos... EEK!!

wolf will need stuff to start up housekeeping, so i'm leaving him with most everything. we went through the movies and music, i have ONE box. not bad. again, tapes to salvation army, dvd's to the pawnshop.

the bigscreen is HIS problem to deal with now.

i'm not packing enough to fill up the smallest uhaul truck. so not too shabby.

kitten, who needs to be packing but NO ONE is bringing boxes home for me! grrrr

A timely post, Mlady... for me, anyway. Firm and I are in the process of finally joining households and d-date is less than two weeks away.

I'm not expecting there to be any problems... and really, there shouldn't be. He and I are cut from the same cloth; when ending our 20+ year marriages, we each took the "travel light" approach and left most of what we once owned with our ex-spouses.

As I have been divorced longer, I have accumulated a bit more in the way of household belongings, however. He's been traveling on business for the past year so what he hasn't stored with me has been kept to what he could easily keep in a hotel room.

To this point he's not indicated any unhappiness with what I will be bringing with me to our home. I'm generally a minimalist and have what I think to be is fairly decent taste, but I'm not really attached to anything I have, anyway.

lol... Come to think of it, that's probably a good thing. As I found out when we were house hunting, even though he has always said that he is easy to please, our definitions of "easy" differ slightly.

It's all good, though and promises to be fun. I'm looking forward to flamingo hunting.

I went through the move two years ago. I kept 2 books that were too precious to part with, a couple pots, family pictures, and some of my clothes. The move had to be ruthless as i was moving into a motor home with very limited space. He grabbed a few tools before the final day. Sometimes i think he took more 'stuff' from my place than i did.

I miss my yard swing, gliders, and the outdoor fountains. Maybe we'll figure out how to get at least one of the fountains to my new home this summer.

Uh oh! This topic is on the money for me right now! I just moved in about three weeks ago and there have been ups and downs. He is the quintessential pack rat and while his house theoretically has room for a whole family, it is brimming over with his own bachelorhood. He has mismatched furniature and book cases stacked two layers deep in some areas, and there is no surface that is not a storage space. God bless him, he uses his stove to sort his mail, and his pull-out cutting board as a catch-all (a misnomer since it too is cluttered so high that things slide off of it) to empty his pockets on, since there isn't any other space.

Just before I moved in I tried to help organize his kitchen table (storage space), but couldn't throw anything away, so it just became a neatly stacked storage space that we still can't eat off of. I got berated for starting to sort through a cupon box, throwing out ones from 2004, but he said he can still use them on the silver-haired cashiers with the bugg-eye glasses. Yeesh, if he'd use them, why are they still in the box after 4 years????

The dresser that some of my stuff went in at first gets blocked when the closet door opens, and he likes it open so he can toss stuff into the closet. So, I was living out of a dresser that wasn't big enough, that was hidden behind a door, so I sort of felt like I was crammed into the tiny hidden corners of his life at first, kinda depressing. But, he surprised me a few days later and I came home to the bedroom in a state of chaos, but on second glace saw that it was that productive kind of chaos, and that he'd made room on my side of the bed for my own dresser, and thrown a ton of stuff away, and also found some fun and entertaining toys and tidbits while sorting through things. So, that was a very happy day and things are going smoothly; slowly but surely incorporating my life and things into his space.

Now if only his 23 year old son were as well-trained and considerate as I am at keeping things the way D likes, and wouldn't un-do all my effort to keep things running smoothly for him. Maybe in time and with some effort he'll learn to be more considerate. That is the major challenge at the moment, as the boy has just moved back in with Dad and the challenge is beginning.

great timing!
Two years ago today i moved in with C. i moved from a 3 bedroom house onto a houseboat. Sold most of the furniture,apart from the bookcases lol
We rent a storage unit that He also uses as a workshop. It is filled to the brim with boxes of 'stuff' We have both just started going through them again and are resorting it into 3 piles. the stuff we want to keep (ie photos), the stuff we can sell, and the stuff that is just rubbish. We are finding that we dont actually need most of the 'stuff' we have been hanging onto (apart from my books) i mean, how important is something that has lived in a box for two years and has never even been thought about?
When i moved onto the boat i was told that it was now my home and that He wanted me to be happy and have it exactly like i wanted. It is an old fishing boat that He has been converting Himself and together we have finished most of it .No looking back
Life is great

That sounds great. To live on a houseboat in New Zealand would be fun. I live on the banks of the Savannah River in the U.S. with a dock and boat, but it would be a big step to start living on the water. Gutsy couple you are.

My timetable is much shorter yet it still feels a lifetime away... one of the reasons I'm having a terrible time getting myself to get done what I need to.

That, and the weather just sucks.

*sighs* I wish Firm wasn't otherwise occupied today... I could use a little a little motivating.

Well, I'm not moving in with anyone anytime soon, but my roommate and I are looking at a short-distance move in a few months. I have, over the past 35 years, moved about 30 times. There's an old saying that five moves equals a fire. That actually has some basis in fact.

I have twice pared down to the minimum in order to make moves I really couldn't afford. The last time, several items I really didn't want to let go of didn't make it to my new residence. I had to shake it off, realizing that they were merely things, not vital body parts, and that life could continue without them.

I don't know, though, if I could now part with the pictures my mother drew and painted - including the silhouettes she did of us just after she and our dad adopted us, and things she did in high school and college. I have books from when I was a child - Winnie the Pooh, Charlotte's Web, all the Borrower and Mary Poppins books. I also have my set of Dickens and Shakespeare, and all the Anne McCaffrey books in hardcover. (On our last move, I gave away about 30 grocery bags full of paperback books.)

But I keep paring down, sorting three boxes into two "keep" and one "give-away" boxes. Eventually I'll fit in a smaller apartment or be able to blend in with a SO very unobtrusively.

pip, not giving up my cat knick-knacks or my Rally Monkeys, though

It is hard to let go of some things.

Just this week I had to throw out all of the things I had been hanging on to for years... items from my childhood, momentos from my life, irreplacable remembrances from my childrens' births and school years. They had been ruined by water that had flooded my basement. It was heartbreaking.

However, I have reconciled with myself that they were just symbols. The memories they represented are still mine. Those can't be destroyed.

Because pup is a student, he has very little things in his dorm, but a lot of stuff at his parents house. When he graduates, we will once again be together 24/7 365. What we will be tripping on is my stuff. Most of which he doesn't want to get rid of, because I have some pretty cool shit :)
