I amnot apcakrat. When I was growing up, my mother was a packrat and she still is. So, I'm the opposite. I'm so afraid of clutter that I throw everything away - sometimes even things I still need.

No, I'm not a pack rat, actually, I'm quite the opposite. I don't like clutter, so I don't tend to hold on to much. If something isn't being used or doesn't have sentimental value, then I want it gone. The bad part of this is, sometimes I get rid of things too fast, then later want it or need it and wish I still had it, but it's too late.

I hate this pack rat but my wife likes it. There must be thousands of items in these packs. I had a friend, who shared my thoughts used to sell the good clothes. When I asked why, he said you need varieties, So sell this in auction and buy another new one.
