It was amazing the pile's of junk I left out on the curb each week (where did all this stuff come from?). The best satisfaction was the day I put the previous owners blinds, curtains, ect all out to the curb. Sometimes it's what one needs to do.

Ever see one of those A&E/MSNBC Documentaries about "hoarders". People who_can't_throw anything away. No comment, just look up "hoarders". I’ve been putting it off for months…

I'm very familiar with the genre. But fortunately I'm not one of them. I like to throw things out. Rather, I like it after it's done. I just keep putting off the process. Ah yes, hoarders.

That's my bet....you wouldn't go to some place predictable like England or Israel or Canada or even France for that matter. I thought China at first but I don't think you are a real strong Orient kind of person. Sooo, it’s off to Spain, eh?

I am not a packrat, and have limited closet space, but the longer I live, the more convinced I become that keeping life in all aspects really simple is an important key to happiness, and success. When it owns me then I'm not free. I can remember traveling through Europe years ago spewing and leaving clothing all across the free world in order to lighten up. I made more trains that way! Have fun, wherever you're headed. Neo, I find keeping life simple, especially my closet, a never ending challenge.

The shirts I wore each day(primarily golf shirts) were thrown away after wearing. Great way to clean a closet, avoid laundering when traveling, and make room in your luggage for new stuff.

When she ordered a hamburger at a cafe, it came with a fried egg on top. I'm not sure how this relates to clothes and clothes misers, but it needed to be said. When I was living in Africa, one of the first things I noticed upon arrival was the small bits of cloth lying all around. We here have so much paper litter and they appeared to have cloth litter. I would hope we could all badger Neo into disclosing early where she is going. Perhaps some wagering would be in order....I stand by Spain and that's backed with a crisp 5-spot.

I always have about 3 clothing sizes, and I still have my work clothes (retired in 2000). Interesting to see this: I’m embarking on a “behind closed doors” project.

But maybe I'm just projecting my own sources of excitement onto her. What say you, fellow Neo fans?
