<p>[QUOTE="johnnycb09, post: 11863288, member: 27"]Interesting article and germane as Ive been thinking very seriously about what I might do in the future should mother's health take a turn for the worst. Im for sure selling the house as I dont need or want to clean a 4 bedroom in my dotage. Thanks to me every single room,closet and cupboard is packed to the gills. I think a lot of my things will be of interest but Im equally sure some wont. Believe it or not mother wasnt one for knic knacs and the like so theres not a huge amount from her. I take after my grandmother in that regard,I love clutter ! I did just recently take a bunch of nondescript silver to the shop I use. Bits and pieces and i was a little shocked when it was $600 ! The rest i have they can pry out of my cold dead hands . Ive also decided my nieces and nephews have gotten all they will from me. Ive given all of them some very nice things over the years . What doesnt sell I will donate to a domestic violence shelter ,Hoodwill can kiss my grits ! Then Im off to a nice tiny little one bedroom or even a studio depending . I think my days of dragging in stuff are coming to a close. Its too depressing now. Prices and rude people and most of all re-sellers have made it unpleasant now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
