11. Books are my stumbling block.

I hate to throw away books, but I really don't know where to get rid of them! I put some on eBay, not much luck. We do not have a decent-sized library here to donate them to.

The Literacy Council used to have a big used book sale here, but they no longer bother. I wonder if books are forever.

I also have old yearbooks, not only mine, but from my kids! I actually do look at mine occasionally.

I stopped buying magazines years ago. Waste of time, space, and money!

On edit..... great place to leave some kinds of magazines -- the Laundromat!
