I have a hard time parting with parts and pieces I just know I will need in the future. Can't seem to through the stuff away. Finally I found a solution. I put an old table in our alley. Everything I want to get rid of goes on the table. Oddly enough everything I put on that table finds a new home. Now my wife is setting things out for "the table." Many unused gifts and other items that I can't seem to dispose of, I find easy to give away.
