Sometimes yes!!!!! DH gets aggravated at me because he would keep everything!! He is such a cow farmer at heart. He wanted to keep an extension cord that had a terrible break in it "just in case we needed it for something!" I threw it out. I told him we have a baby girl and I am not keeping an extension cord laying around that could electrocute her someday! He has so much junk he has kept for "projects" and "just in case we need a part" but when it comes down to it he winds up going and buying a new one because he can't find the part he saved because we have so much stuff! It is just stuff and if you can't find it when you need it what good is it anyway?I've got lots of them, Rooster. Come and get 'em. I'll sell cheap!!! Can you handle a couple hundred of them?
Josie have you ever thrown something away you weren't sure what was and then at some point much later realized that you threw something you needed away?
I just found one of those oops! last week. I was putting curtains up and noticed the valance piece to the faux wood blinds was off. I was going to put it back on and looked for the thing that fastens them. I found one side but not the other. DUH! I remembered picking that thing up off the floor thinking it was some kind of packing junk and throwing it away. I've done that more times than I care to admit.
I need to go take a picture of my tandem broody orps. They insist on sitting on the floor instead of in a nest box and they have pulled 50% of their feathers out to nest with. I gave up breaking them.
