Aloha Maryann,

I think you just discovered your own answer when you stated "unused & forgotten"! Bottom line is: if you have not used it or missed it in the past 18 months -- you probably truly do not need it. Add to that that there is probably someone who REALLY can use it & cannot afford it. If you continue to hold onto it -- then you nor anyone else ever gets the joy of using it.

Check your local non-profit agencies in your area & see if their in need of any of the items & donate them. You can always take the tax write off -- which is something anyone can use. Plus think of the joy that you will bring to someone else's Life.

Rmember, this *stuff* is taking up valuable space -- & space is not a limitless comodity. You personally will feel much better gaining your space back AND knowing full well that the items in question are being put to good use by someone who truly needs it.

Good luck & keep us posted in your progress!

Much Aloha,
