Do you want to buy a TV ?

I read an article last week that has motivated me into action,it was the 100 item challenge. It is about a group of people who are reducing their personal belongings down to a hundred things, in an effort to reduce their consumerism. One of the rules they do not count family household shared items like dishes and glasses or the stove or couch. The other rule is if you receive a gift

if have to make room for it by getting rid of something. I have thought about these past few days since reading about the challenge and remembering some of the stories that my parents and aunt and uncle have told me about like my mother telling me all the furniture my grandparents owned besides their beds was 4 chairs and a table. No couch or tvs just a table and 4 chairs.

I started by taking a quick inventory of the top of my head and I could not believe all the crap that I had purchased thru the years. The one thing that I could not believe was that I owned five television sets, but there it was on the list 5 tvs. Then I thought of when I was a kid we were lucky to have one TV and it had a wire clothes hanger as an antenna and black and white. Quickly my list went past a hundred items , as I thought about the list a day or two I began to start crossing off things that I had not used in the 8 months, and the list began to shrink. Those items will be on Ebay, craigslist and given away to Amvets. I then began a list of 100 items that I do need I have yet to come with 75 items let alone a 100 and that includes clothes. On the list i have include socks 10 pair as one item and underwear 10 pair as one item but pants, shirts ,shoes are counted individually as is my watch and wedding ring. I have challenged Kenny Ray to a sixty item list , and trying to get Tari to commit to a 100 item list as well, she just looks at me like I have a third eye in the middle of my forehead. I will post my finished list as I complete it. If you need a TV shoot me an Email.
