I have been throwing away a bunch of old Country Living magazines because I couldn't find anyone who wanted them. First I looked through them, enjoying not only the decorating ideas, but also the 1980s advertising.
One of my favorite articles was about a couple in Ardmore, Oklahoma who have (or had - it was more than 25 years ago) a real train caboose in their yard fixed up as a guest house. That has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I tore it out to save.
At one point I remembered on the Hoarders show how the organizers or psychologists will make some comment about how the hoarder insists on looking at every piece of trash and making a decision about it - trash, donate, or keep. It has become a little joke between Mr. Troutbend and me - are you really going to have to see everything? Well, as a matter of fact, yes I am going to have to look at everything.
So I quickly did the looking, and now I'm done, and the world of organization did not come crashing to an end.
