1) A few of these damn lotions and body sprays I keep getting from Avon.
2) My 'skinny' clothes. (A girl can dream, can't she?)
3) My old Cosmo collection. Hey, as soon as I throw it away, the kids will need to do a magazine collage, right?

[Tania]

1. My teddy bear that I've had since I was a month old. He's missing his eyes, nose and mouth, but he can still comfort me in 0.1 seconds flat.
2. My acid wash jeans from 1987.
3. Cards, notes and letters from my ex-boyfriends.

[Zinnia Cyclamen]

CDs I don't like and so never play
The really bad photos that I always skip over when I'm showing the others to someone, but still put back in the packet (there won't be any more of those, though, now I've gone digital)
Old identity wristbands from storytelling festivals

[Shane]

1. Books that won't be read.
2. Cassette tapes.
3. My old grandpa's false teeth! ['eek' indeed.]

[Pearl]

I'm working on purging all the physical stuff. We've reduced by 2/3, even books, momentoes and clothes.

1. my penchant for taking things too seriously
2. my occasional short temperedness
3. every greeting card I have ever received.

[war eagle]

Hmm, tough one . we are moving so I have throw a lot out lately.

1. Old scout shirts: I have sentimental value to these not sure why.
2. Cables and Wires: I always think I may need them in the future
3. My old D&D stuff: same as #1

[Bluegrass Mama]

1. Those extra 15 pounds
2. My teenage journals
3. the old LPs I never listen to any more

[kenju]

1. My husband
2. ten pounds
3. My Mother's furniture

[Sol]

I own nothing I should get rid of. Oh.. wait. My husband would beg to differ.

1. The semi broken printer on the middle of my office floor.

2. The mess in my office....cause darnit, he can't do anything in there.

3. Credit Cards

[Dingo]

1. All those old 'incriminating' pictures from college, bachelor parties, etc.

2. A good portion of my boxer shorts.

3. Bea Arthur's phone number. I keep trying to do it, but how can it be wrong if it feels so right?

[christine]

My husband?....oops. Sorry. Let me start over:

1. My very first teddy bear (and now, a collective "awwww..." please)

2. All of my old journals (the paranoia in me tells me to get rid of them, never know when hubby will get curious...but I resist)

3. My pregnancy t-shirt that says "baby" on it. It's the only piece of maternity wear I've hung on to.

[Shannin]

1. Back issues of Martha Stewart Living, Food & Wine, etc.

2. My shirt I was wearing the first night I met my husband, even though it no longer fits

3. My cookbooks I never use

[Thumper]

1. The entire contents of a 10x20 storage unit.
2. Clothes that no longer fit and never will
3. 32 tons of body fat clinging stubbornly to my body...

[Cara]

Lotions and body sprays from Bath-n-Body that I just keep in my linen closet but never use.
Clothes that have not been worn in a couple of years. (I would not throw them out because they are in good condition - I would donate them to charity)
I have a medium-size box of medications that was brought over from our old home to our new home when we moved last year. I need to go through that I find the expired stuff and throw it out.

[lani]

1. those boxes and boxes full of things that my kids make for me at school. many of the items feature that colored tissue paper that fades with time. i can't seem to part with any of it...
2. this horrible, wretched pair of bright red Capris. red is my favorite color but come on, wearing it on the bottom? i dun tink so.
3. greeting cards that i save from my favorite mail correspondents. i have a box that i keep them in that looks like a treasure chest, and it even has a little key (my hubby built it for me).

[maryse]

1. a pair of size 8 white jeans -- i was that size for a week in 1993 -- never going to happen again
2. old college textbooks and notebooks
3. tattered college sweatshirt

[Mamacita]

1. My collection of ten zillion posters, dating back to the early seventies. All with tape-marks on the back.

2. The cardboard box in the garage that contains all of DC's Legion of SuperHeroes comic books, from the mid-sixties till the mid-eighties. After that they got stupid.

Before that they weren't stupid. Not stupid at all.

3. The kitchen drawer full of action figures from the eighties.

4. The kitchen drawer full of New Yorker cartoons.

This list could get really long. I'm stopping now.

I need to have a yard sale.

[Dawn]

1.A large drinking mug with my high school emblem on it.
2.Cards from old boyfriends.
3.A black velvet, halter top evening dress with rhinestones. It might come back in style.

[sleepingmommy]

1. the extra weight on my ass
2. the extra weight on my stomach.
3. the extra weight on my arms and legs.

That pretty much sums that one up nicely.

1. My extra weight
2. My cotton bud habit
3. My junk
