Stuff and Other Stuff

We at The Menage have been thinking about... well, stuff. All the STUFF that we have to keep up with, take care of, carry around, and spend mental energy on.

I think it was the ungodly weight of my purse that started this train wreck of thought.

How much stuff do you carry around? How much of that stuff do you need everyday? Could you do with less stuff?

What about the stuff in your car? What are you carrying around, and why?

Do you have a room in your house that's just for the stuff you don't know what to do with? A drawer? A box? Do you, like me, have boxes of stuff that you don't even remember what it is?

A recent Gallup poll showed that the top 2 leisure activities of Americans are watching tv and..... Shopping!

Shopping! As a leisure activity!

Shopping! To buy more stuff!

What's wrong with all the stuff we already have? How much is enough stuff? What exactly was involved in getting that stuff to us here and now? Who mined the metal? Grew the cotton? And what happens to the stuff when we're done with it?

I don't have answers, just more questions.
