Each year we find ourselves wondering what to do with overcrowded closets, dressers, and shelves. This video is the discussion we had just the other day.
"You are a keeper," Emily complains and John Cullum agrees.
Emily, who is definitely a thrower-outer, wonders why they hang on to stuff that they haven't worn or used or touched years? And she suggests they need to organize things and give a lot of stuff away.
John agrees --"If I haven't worn it in a year, it's out of here!" And then surprises his wife, when he confesses how he's been handling the problem.

I LOVE this discussion!! JC, I have the same problem......for a while, I'd get show jackets for every tour, numbering 5 presently......some now over 20 years old, of course I still have them!! And t-shirts, so comfortable after a few holes creep in, and woe betide the person who attempts to sew them up!! I also have every program from shows I've been in and shows I've seen......What a packrat I am, right? One thing I will always agree with, and that is "EM, and JC, you are both KEEPERS! With Love to you both, as always!! Jim
I really enjoyed your segment on "Keepers and Thrower-Awayers". Believe me when I say I can REALLY relate to your thesis.
Always nice to check out your witty videos , Emily. Best regards and happy weekend to you, Aquileana :)
I have to admit that I'm a bit of a hoarder too but only when it comes to books, my art and my theatre memorabilia. Oh, and my art deco ephemera and dessert cookbooks. Every once in a while, I do a purge and toss things like old clothes and I try to consolidate things just to have some breathing space. When that happens, believe it or not, I fell spiritually lighter somehow. Cheers, Stephan
