I still have my father's reading glasses, for one, despite the fact that they have little in the way of practical value. And then there's also a few trophies... a modest watch collection... some framed jigsaw puzzles... you'll have to take my word for it that we kept plenty of stuff that's not mentioned here.<BR/><BR/>I raise this now because there's got to be a limit as to what stuff you can keep and what stuff you have to let go. You can't keep <I>everything</I>, after all: Once you get past all the mementos and the keepsakes, you're bound to run into the handouts and the throwaways. I might be alone in this regard, yes... but seven years down the line, I'm far more likely to laugh at my family's "pack rat" tendencies than hold some sentimental value in a can of shaving cream. I'm fairly certain that my Dad would have looked at it the same way.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-24706940375096302492007-03-28T02:57:00.000+08:002007-03-28T02:57:00.000+08:00hmmm... i don't know. i like your blog and all but...hmmm... i don't know. i like your blog and all but i am a bit disturbed by this entry. maybe because i'm too sentimental that if i were to be handed some stuff my father used to have, i'd keep it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-44038722402246081722007-03-26T11:21:00.000+08:002007-03-26T11:21:00.000+08:00Dominique: ...Thus the term "pack rats", I suppose...Dominique: ...Thus the term "pack rats", I suppose. :)Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-9070472324849552802007-03-26T10:03:00.000+08:002007-03-26T10:03:00.000+08:00Or maybe proof that we're actually descended from ...Or maybe proof that we're actually descended from rats.<BR/><BR/>Fo' shizzle!Dom Cimafrancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02060486314112462681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-63430501307620877832007-03-25T20:32:00.000+08:002007-03-25T20:32:00.000+08:00Dominique: Just wait till the bling starts showing...Dominique: Just wait till the bling starts showing up. Peace, yo. :)<BR/><BR/>Kat: I think that it's part of a mentality that comes with hoarding stuff -- we keep things because they might prove useful in the future. When it finally dawns on us that these objects have reached the point where they have become absolutely, positively, incredibly useless, that mentality sticks in our minds and forces us to rethink the situation once again. It's nature's way of keeping our closets full. :)Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-13470306766737700572007-03-25T16:19:00.000+08:002007-03-25T16:19:00.000+08:00Haha!

The moment you mentioned Eminem, I started laughing too.<BR/><BR/>Why is it that when we find an unopened can of (whatever deo, perfume, etc), we presume it's still usable because it's still unopened? Well, my grandma and my mom think so. :pKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637045348172693023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-22702213794359083342007-03-24T20:11:00.000+08:002007-03-24T20:11:00.000+08:00Oh.
