Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 02, 2018

It’s coming up on the 30th anniversary of the cliffhanger where J.R. pushed Sue Ellen’s boyfriend off a penthouse balcony, and Sue Ellen then shot J.R. thrice.

You know, for being called “Cliffhangers”, there was only one season of “Dallas” where the season ended with Cliff Barnes being in mortal danger.

Save all the stuff. That way your kids will wonder what was wrong with you when they are hauling it to the dumpster.

hoarding can be a competitive sport

If it’s decent china, there’s somebody who would really appreciate it and use it. Find them.

Document w/ pics & then donate to charity or sell online! Turn that space-hawg into CASH!

on 4/2/1978, on CBS, a new show debuted, DALLAS, happy anniversary J.R, Bobby, Sue Ellen, et al…Mr. Hagman, Southfork will never be the same without you!!

Don’t look in the attic. Especially on Halloween.

There’s always Freecycle, eBay, a yard sale, or a local thrift shop. OR – if it’s a pattern you like, keep it and ditch the one you are currently using,

So, Dallas wasn’t a dream I had while in the shower?

Hey every body it’s the 40th anniversary of Dallas! Not the 30th. My how time flies.

I inherited my mother’s formal tableware, and I LOVE using it. It’s a sweet memory. She set the table with it every time my husband and I had dinner at her house.

So they inherited it that long ago. First, get the set appraised, then sell it to an antique store. Why throw it in the dumpster if you can get $$ for it.

the millenials don’t want our stuff and it really isn’t worth much because everybody had a set ( or 2 or 3) So I say – save the landfill ! put away the paper plates – use those beauties and run them through the dishwasher ( platinum rims be d^#*d), it’s just stuff

My sister-in-law wants us to fly across the country to help divide up her late dad’s stuff in person. She just doesn’t get that we’re saying take whatever you want, we don’t want or need any of it. And we most certainly don’t want to take time off work and pay for plane fares to be pulled in for a fight over who gets what when we don’t want his stuff anyway. Just take what you want. Let estate haulers do the rest.

I’ve often thought how my kids are someday going to be saying: “Why in the heck did Dad save THIS???” (and they’re going to be saying it many many times too)

When I ended up with my parents’ china (which they almost never used, because it was “the good stuff” and “too good to use”) I turned right around and gave it to my daughter. I didn’t want that 1960’s junk – we much prefer china (and various other home furnishings) that was from my grandparents’ generation (1930’s and 1940’s issue, and earlier), and we make a point to actually USE it too! There is something to be said about the “skipping generations” thing: my daughter thinks her grandparents’ (my parents) stuff is great.

The quality of life is not measured in your material possessions, although those with wealth never miss an opportunity to promote the opposite.

My father was the youngest of twelve children and he was twelve when his mother died. His father died while he was gone from home during WWII, and when he got home, there was nothing left for him. I’d dearly love to have something that belonged to my paternal grandparents. I don’t even have a photograph. Please consider those who come after you, even if you don’t personally like what you’ve set aside.
