Dude, I mean it. Of course, the Italian food will probably be accompanied by Fernet....
So, what you're saying is that there really is no downside?
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Every few years my SIL attacks my closet and gets rid of everything I haven't worn in the last year. It is traumatic, but necessary or I would still have every piece of clothing that from 1986 on.
I have outfits that I only WEAR once a year, so I'm not a big believer in if you haven't worn it in a year, get rid of it. I much prefer the try everything on with everything else and see if you can make new combinations wardrobe sorting method.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I warn you, I will be ruthless.
Ruth away, though we may need to get JZ in on it, too. Which would be a tragedy, you know - all of us hanging out and stuff. Woes.
However, I reserve the right to keep my more formal stuff that only gets let out on special occasions. But anything that's in poor condition/ill-fitting/not that special? Can go.

This is okay for certain types of outfits. If you know you will wear it occasionally, I think it's okay to keep it. I have a flapper dress my mom made me as a freshman in high school. I still wear it for Halloween from time to time (when it fits).

I know we've moved away from the mispronunciations but I have two more to make megan's head explode. There's Port Mouton, NS , which is pronounced as "Port Matoon", and L'Ardoise, NS, which is pronounced "Lordways".

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Um, does anyone know anything about Masonic symbols? And the word Yessop, associated with a ring? DH was surveying a house today with what he thinks was a ton of masonic stuff, and that was written on one of the walls, but neither of us has ever heard it associated with the masons before.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I am ruthless about my own stuff. I moved around a lot growing up and got used to the regularly scheduled purging of stuff.
And, in the apartment before this one (I've only lived here about 9 months), I only had 1 smallish closet and 1 extremely small closet in a pretty small apartment (not Trudy's NYC apt, but still only 475sf). I got used to purging on a regular basis and being very selective about what I brought in to the space.
