I’m cleaning my room. I wonder how many years of my life have been consumed with cleaning my room. And yet my room is always messy. How can this be? Sometimes I want to throw it all away. But when it comes down to it I have a hard time throwing it all away.
This is interesting because I’m cleaning my room in my parents house – and there is crap in these drawers that go back decades. Last week I went through all the closets and the medicine cabinet in my bathroom and threw away anything that was more than a year old. So – basically I threw away everything.
How do y’all feel about throwing away cd jewel cases? I have about three hundred thousand of these suckers – and very few of them contain the corresponding cd. But I feel bad throwing them away. Like – I might want them sometime. RRRRRRIIIIIGGGHHHT. I’m throwing them away. I’m throwing it all away. Wish me luck.
the thin line between optimism and delusion... 
Take the liners and covers out of them and put them in a folder or scrapbook or something… then sell the empty jewel cases to goodwill. Make yourself a few bucks. 🙂
Pete: Sell to Goodwill? Really? I thought it merely accepted donations. I would feel bad about selling to Goodwill. Or do you mean selling to a pawn shop? I can’t imagine you would get anything at a pawn shop for CD cases.
Charlsie: I am packing, throwing out stuff, etc. right now too. I probably keep too much, but it makes me happy to get rid of stuff. I hate having too much stuff.
I don’t know about goodwill specifically, but if not there you can always sell to a thrift store. I’m sure you couldn’t sell ONE jewel case, but if you had hundreds that would be something they’d probably give you a few dollars for.
