My inventory is enormous. This is what happens when you sign up on Second Life and no one tells you to organize from day one, and to throw out what you will not use, or wear twice. My closet has grown to over 80k items and I have managed to shrink it down below 78k a few times, but here it is again over 80k and SOMETHING has to be done.
So, the first step I took was my notecard collection. I threw out everything that I absolutely didn't need, including old notes from friends who no longer are friends and ex SL lovers and the like. It not only made my inventory feel 2.5k items smaller, but I felt better too.. Letting go of people who don't deserve to be part of my SL life, even if it's just in my SL closet.
The only person who deserves to be boxed up is Z.B. Everyone else that was in my closet, met the shredder.
Next, the same thing happens with pictures.

The problem with inventory
One of the first lessons that SHOULD be given when you first sign up for Second Life, that isn't is "control your inventory before it gets out of hand".
I didn't get that lesson. I've been on SL for a year and a half and my inventory count is absurd. It is standing at a little over 81k and I have been boxing up non-important items(houses, objects I'm not using, for example) and that in itself is a lot of work...time consuming too.
I can't just toss stuff away either because most of this stuff I know I spent linden on. Linden is Second Life version of money. I don't have a job on SL that pays me to fund all my purchases. I don't have a RL job that does that either. Fortunately I have a RL husband who gives me an allowance to spend on SL. Mind you the allowance covers my tier(land fee and membership fee to own mainland), but I usually get a few dollars extra converted to linden to fund my live performer fees(for the club) as well as extras, like clothes, shoes, hair...my obsessions.
Anyway...my obsessions result in a bulging, ready to explode inventory closet. It also results in lag..meaning my avatar walks a little slower, everything on SL takes longer than usual to get done. So. If you're gonna join SL, let me pass this little tip...control your inventory. Forget freebies. They will mulitply like bunnies and unless you know you're gonna wear them then toss them out right after, don't bother with them.
The positive result from my bulging inventory is..
I look great.
