Nearly broke my heart when we moved from England and had to offload my hoardings--kid's stuff, teaching aids, toys, books and the like. <BR/><BR/>I guess my biggest "collection" here is my box of bubble wrap. And sure enough, it really does "come in useful one day."<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment on Tristi's comment on my blog, by the way. Made me giggle, too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18112453678556775060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039972.post-61660864457557215462007-08-27T05:49:00.000-07:002007-08-27T05:49:00.000-07:00What a small, small world.

Their claim to fame is that Ronald Regan went there. ;) <BR/><BR/>I tend to keep too much stuff. hehe.

The grocery store clerk puts them around cartains of eggs too. And I save every single one. I couldn't use them all in a lifetime. I never use them, but to waste . . . I was raised too well. :>) I was going to do a blog post on this, too. If I do, I'm not trying to be a copycat.Ruth L.~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01008932486010118709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039972.post-24624589638574758312007-08-26T19:14:00.000-07:002007-08-26T19:14:00.000-07:00Ghost turds -- oh, wow, that's so funny!Let's see ...Ghost turds -- oh, wow, that's so funny!<BR/><BR/>Let's see -- I used to keep bananas to make banana bread. It was just wasteful to throw them out, right? But I finally realized that I was throwing out banana bread, because no one in my house, including me, likes it! <BR/><BR/>I do keep my ghost turds, and gift bags, and boxes that look like they're good sizes for me to reuse. <BR/><BR/>I heard of one person who would rinse off his dental floss and reuse it. That makes me want to throw up.Tristi Pinkstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122250747480013804noreply@blogger.com
