Well I Promised you all a look at my 100 item challenge list ,and I have been working on it and eliminating some of those possessions that I though at the time I needed. As I was going of my list of essentials I used one rule. If I had not used in it the last 12 months I did not need it. So it went on Craigslist and Ebay. I have been very busy shipping and selling those items I deemed not needed. I found out one thing I can not even give a TV away I listed on Craigslist and Xenia freecycle and not one taker for a 19 inch color TV with no remote. I think that is because there is nothing on it worth watching. Well enough commentary here is the third revision of the list.

Well this is where I am tonight on my list , I know I have forgotten something as I have rewritten now 4 times with some things added and some removed . I went thru my clothes this past Sunday and Tari and I got rid of some clothes . They will be given to Amvets. I am still going thru the barn and sorting thru and organizing what a man packs away thinking he will need someday. And at the end of one 's days all those things that took time and money away from quality family time will be picked over by strangers at an estate or garage sale for a quarter
or fifty cents. It reminds me of a book my mother gave called" Your money or your life". I do have one problem as I am told that I am a romantic as I have a story behind almost all of my possessions which makes them priceless to me and they will all find there way to my 100 item list. I am still trying to give away a TV if you need one Email me or it is going to be a target.
