THE PURGE!!!

[FIGJAM]

Not that purge.

Bored?

It's a great time for a purge.

Think of all the things you're getting along just fine without.

Now before you reorganize your nest, look around you.

Pick a 5 ft. square.

Anything in that square that you haven't looked at, thought about. or touched in a year, you don't need that.

Get rid of it!!!

Now move on to the next section.

Easy right.

My personal exceptions are photos and tools.................and Burner gear.

Funny that I’m going the opposite way ...

... I’m finding old stuff I haven’t used in years and inventing ways to make them relevant for the pandemic.

For example; I dug out an old Vick’s cool humidifier with one of those piezoelectric gizmos that atomize H2O -

Used this a decade ago at the burn to humidify and cool the trailer ...

... but now I can stick it into an old fish tank, pour in some 35% hydrogen peroxide, hang all my used masks in there, covert it, and sanitize my gear.

Or if you don't want to purge stuff, bin it and catalog it with a photo and label so you don't have to open the damn thing up each time to see what's in there.

I've got lots of stuff I forget about but would be handy to use or that I can't find when I do need it.

I'm preparing to move across the country.

And now the burn is canceled, my world became much easier.

I often use things, once every few years. And often find stuff I've had for 20 years, that becomes a new door or some other project.
I reject this idea, for myself.
I like having stuff, sort of knowing where everything is, and getting a thing, to use, or to make something else.
Though, I have been purging my FB account.
Excelsior !

Cant help it, I keep hoarding.

Next year was better anyway

Yeah, there have been many times where I've needed something for a project and then in the back of my head I think, "hmm, I think I may have one of those actually..." and I do, which is great! I don't have to wait a day or two to buy a new one, or lose the idea or inspiration I'm working with at the moment.

Though, I have been purging my FB account.

This, however, is where FIGJAM's purge criteria fits. If I can't recall where or why I have this name in my friend's list I will usually just delete the contact. If I run into the person again I can add them later.

Two members of a private ambulance crew were recently fired for playing the sirens from "The Purge" on their ambulance rolling through corona-locked down DC.

Key words "personal exceptions " cover these examples.

Exceptional people need exceptional exceptions!!!

[BBadger]

I dunno, the hoarding seems more like the rule than the exception.
