Yes, I save cards I receivd many yrs ag. I have a bag of cards & letters my dad sent me. when He died I was lucky to have them.I do look at them and feel happy to see his words and humor.

I'm not sentimental. Unfortunately, I AM a pack rat. I tend to keep junk because I think it might be useful later on. But photos, greeting cards, letters, gifts...nope.

Yes.

I think I have all of my birthday or "just because" cards of the past 10 years and I like to hang on to things given to me because it means the person took the time to think of you.

I don't consider them junk though.

I'm not very sentimental. I actually feel guilty about it. I'm a woman, a wife, mother, sister, daughter...all that crap. I should be sentimental dammit!

I'm not really attached to material possesions of that kind, with the exception of a few items given to me by a couple people. Other than that, I make a habit of not collecting memorabilia, but the memories linger forever.

I am very sentimental. But I don't save EVERY card only the ones that touch my heart. but I do still have my childhood toys and stuff in a footlocker under my bed. I have selected letters from my grandmother that I keep. In genral I keep items that pull at my heart strings.

I'm very sentimental...

I have kept cards and school projects, that my children made for me, when they were growing up...

Special Mother's Day cards, birthday cards, etc....(not every one....it depends on who gives them to me)

I was going to say, there is a fine line between being sentimental, and being a pack rat.

I do ALL those things you said, I'm not like you.
I like to be reminded of what I had in the past. Sometimes I find that if I didn't have those things there to look at every once in a while, I'd forget about some of the things that happened to me

when i listen to john coltrane it puts me in a sentimental mood.

memories make me feel nostalgic. most sentiments are in my heart & mind. if i was one to care about an object it would be photos or journals because they capture moments & experiences. outside of that, possessions of those i care have about as much value as hardened sun-dried dung.

Yes.

Slowly working through the stash. For some reason I think I'm going to cook all those recipes on scraps of paper, fit into my high school clothes, (someday) learn to knit, read all those books and manuals I've collected...
