What is something you should throw away, but just can't bring yourself to do it? Explain I can't seem to throw away my "Real Simple" Magazines. I have every one since the damn thing started, filed away in the unfinished half of my basement. I just think I may want to look something up sometime. Weird, because I'm not a pack-rat. I've moved too many times to be that way. My son has way more junk than I do. I don't collect anything.... He'd keep every single thing if I let him.
