When I was a bachelor, I had a very simple life: a bed, a TV, a computer, a stereo, and a couch. No storage rooms, no closets full of stuff: everything I owned was straightforward and functional.
Now? Well, bikerchic is having me haul around all these boxes and totes and piles of stuff for Christmas, and I swear we must have about 47,000 tons of stuff that even she doesn't know where some of the stuff came from.
It must be genetic.
Stuff is good. You must start accepting stuff . If you think you have too much stuff what you're really acknowledging is that you need more room to put stuff. Get more stuff storage. You can rent stuff storage space for quite a reasonable price considering that it allows you to get more stuff and keep it secure and out of the weather. By the way, this is a good time of the year to buy stuff and give it to other people so they can be happy. You may also get stuff given to you! It's all good!
Surely you're not an ascetic? Websters: 1: practicing strict self-denial as a measure of personal and especially spiritual discipline.
My wife has stuff everywhere. The attic may come crashing down any day now.

It's not just females. My husband was a hoarder - hundreds of T-shirts and shorts and pairs of shoes and dozens of boxes of books and thousands of bottles of lotion and oil and creams and herbs. And furniture - my god, the furniture. And boxes of newspapers and magazines, and years worth of meds he never took. It had taken me all year to clear it out - I am just now getting down to the last dozen boxes of crap.
LOL oh honey just deal with it!

Everyone knows women are in charge of "stuff". Men get to haul it around for us.That's why we love strong men!
Craig,
You need a little comedy relief about now. Have you ever heard George Carlin's routine about "STUFF"?
Here it is! Have fun watching.

oh, my goodness, I had forgotten about his routine about "stuff." It's very funny
Well, now, HappyDad, there ya go and make me have to get out more stuff.
I'm setting up my computer, and don't have all the media installed yet...but I have it all stashed away somewhere here (shuffling, shuffling...rather like OUTLAW's penguins) LOL
Hell, I could have told you that, but you never would have listened anyway.
That's the price you pay for free sex.

Maybe it is genetic. Men were the hunters. Women were the "gatherers." And wow, can we gather.
