I'm Throwing Out My Furniture.

[Mary in KC]

I'm sick of having furniture in the house. I would rather just have plain ole wood floors. I'm a stacker. I stack stuff on the furniture and then hate myaself becuase its so cluttered.

So our it goes. (I got made and threw out all my silverware and dishes year's ago. Worked well. Haven't had to do the dishes since.)

1. And if you get rid of the furniture and keep those wood floors REALLY

clean, you can just throw the food on the floor and lap it right up :)

5. That's a good idea.

The kitchen is next. I do have a little table in there.

2. So where are you going to stack stuff?

As far as the dishes go, when I got divorced and went to work doing road construction, i got sick of coming home to a sink full of dishes. I couldn't seem to get the kids to pitch in so I assigned everyone one plate, one bowl, one glass, one of each utensil and packed up the rest. Everyone was responsible for their own and it actually worked pretty well. Pots and pans built up on occasion but not so much becuase the kids were too lazy to cook much!

7. without furniture I have lots of new room to stack my stuff.

11. Did the same thing to my roommates in college

They could never figure out dirty dishes + soap = clear dishes. It did kind of get gross cause they would eat of the same plate over and over again, then get really sick I don't think they ever figured it out.

3. Where will you sleep? Sit?

6. I left the bad and dresser.

I would just rather have open space. I have an old chair left to sit on when I paint but it doesn't gather dust.

I like that feeling so much better. And all I have to do to clean is sweep the floor.

I don't need much to get along. Went without a water heater for years. But I have to admit that a hot bath is a lot more fun than a cold one.

4. I moved into my house three years ago.

I have:

- Couch.
- Coffee table.
- Desk.
- Dining room table and four chairs.
- One fluffy chair.
- Bed.

That is IT. The sum total of my furniture. I also have two folding tables and a lot of folding chairs for when people come over. So far, it's worked well. I think I might get one more fluffly chair. For the front window.

Oh, but I have a LOT of yard furniture. Because I have a lot of yard. So that makes a difference.

8. Where'd you put it?

I need some. (I'm in KC.)

9. You wouldn't want it - trust me.

My poor couch was down to the frame. I just used it to stack stuff on.

I'll bet that by the time I get back home - I'm at the library - half of what I put out there will be gone. That just cracks me up.

10. Yeah, that's where my furniture came from.

I love bulky item pickup week.

12. Some of that stuff is really good stuff.

Mine, however, is just junk.

13. "Shop" near the Plaza and along Ward Parkway.

It's a better class of trash.
